CHAPTER 226: UNTIL NOON

"Even so! No! Not outside! What if someone comes...?"

"It’s fine. No one comes this far. Not even monsters."

Since that night at the inn in the border village, Dominic had been holding himself back while they kept camping out under the sky.

On this journey with just the two of them, that was the only thing he wasn’t happy about.

His patience was finally reaching its limit.

"You’re the one who started this, Shiao Yi."

He knew it was unfair, but Dominic decided to blame Shiao Yi anyway.

Shiao Yi’s eyes went wide in surprise.

"What? When? Huh? Wait, really? Is that so...?"

While Shiao Yi was still confused, Dominic had already stripped off his shirt and underwear, then leaned down to suck on his chest, especially on those tempting and delicious-looking pink fruits.

"Ah, Dominic! Ah, no, stop! Ah..."

Shiao Yi who is already used to Dominic’s touch, let out soft sounds that melted into sweet protests.

The more he reacted that way, the more Dominic felt like Shiao Yi was teasing and tempting him on purpose.

Dominic forcefully pushed his body between Shiao Yi’s legs, pressing Shiao Yi’s right leg down with his own to stop him from moving.

While his tongue and right hand teased Shiao Yi’s upper body, his left hand quickly unbuckled and loosened the belt around Shiao Yi’s waist.

That belt was something Dominic had given to Shiao Yi as a gift, it’s a custom-made one with a hidden feature that allowed it to be undone with just one hand.

He had never told Shiao Yi about that secret to him and Shiao Yi always wondered how Dominic could so easily take his belt off every time.

Of course, with Shiao Yi special ability If he truly didn’t want it, he could easily push Dominic away with his telekinesis. But that had never happened, not even once.

Even when Shiao Yi said "no" or "stop," it only proved that deep down, he was enjoying it.

Dominic slid his hand into the loosened pants and reaching all the way inside the underwear.

"Hyah..." Shiao Yi gasped.

When Dominic touched Shiao Yi’s little dragon, he felt that it was already hard and wet. He realized then that, just like himself, Shiao Yi had been holding back all this time.

A man’s body always honest and it can’t lie.

When Dominic slowly stroked his little dragon, Shiao Yi let out a soft moan, "Uhh..." and his hips began to move on their own.

"I-It’s not my fault, okay? When we’re riding the horse, Dominic, your... thing... keeps poking my butt. S-So that’s why..."

"Oh? So during the day, Shiao Yi was thinking about such dirty things all by himself?"

"N-No, that’s not it...!"

In Dominic’s hand, Shiao Yi’s little dragon grew stronger, his body trembling slightly.

Dominic realized that if he kept teasing him like this, it might go too far.

He removed the rest of Shiao Yi’s clothes and leaving only his boots.

Under the starlight, Shiao Yi’s pale figure stood out clearly, his skin that has been marked with traces of Dominic’s touch leave faint red marks that showed the intensity of the moment between them.

Still wearing only his boots, Shiao Yi bent his knees and sat with his legs slightly apart, his face flushed as he looked at Dominic with a mix of embarrassment and anticipation.

Somehow, the boots made his presence feel even more masculine and strangely forbidden.

Dominic felt his breath catch.

What is this overwhelming allure?

Was Shiao Yi trying to drive him mad on purpose?

Dominic swallowed his saliva hard, his throat moving as he tried to steady his breath.

He quickly pulled a small bottle of scented oil from his pocket. It was something that he always carried with him.

He twisted the cap off and poured a bit into his hand.

No... I can’t stay calm tonight, he thought, realizing that his self-control was slipping away.

Gathering what reason he still had, Dominic carefully used the oil to help Shiao Yi relax, though every movement made his restraint fade further.

It was becoming harder and harder to stay gentle.

Seeing Dominic struggling to hold himself back, Shiao Yi reached out his hands toward him.

"Come here, Dominic. I can’t wait anymore. I want you."

Shiao Yi smiled softly, his expression full of warmth.

His gentle nature forgave Dominic’s impatience and in that moment, Dominic could only surrender to the hunger that had been building between them.

The quiet night filled with their voices. The words of love, breathless gasps, and the sound of their hearts overlapping beneath the starlight.

The next day, they didn’t leave until after noon.

Shiao Yi could barely stand when he finally got up and stretching with a tired groan.

Dominic spoke with concern.

"Can you still ride? If not, we can rest another night here."

Their journey wasn’t urgent and Dominic knew that Shiao Yi’s exhausted state was entirely his fault.

"It’s fine," Shiao Yi said with a faint smile. "I got plenty of rest. I guess I’m... getting used to it. Still, that was the first time we’ve ever done something like that outdoors. It feels kind of unreal..."

Dominic chuckled softly. "Wasn’t it exciting? You seemed more passionate than ever."

Shiao Yi’s face flushed red. "Well, yeah... there was this weird mix of tension and freedom. I just felt... unsettled somehow."

"If you don’t like it, we could always go back home at night," Dominic suggested gently. "With your power, it wouldn’t be hard. We’ll still be camping for a while."

But Shiao Yi quickly waved his hands, even redder now.

"No way! Going home every night just for that, that would be way too embarrassing! Absolutely not!"

"In that case," Dominic said with a teasing grin, "you’ll have to get used to being under the open sky, won’t you?"

"Wha— what? Is that how it’s going to be?"

"Yes. I realized this time that it’s better not to hold back too much. It’s easier on you that way. Don’t you agree, Shiao Yi?"

Dominic turned toward his horse, Marengo, as if the matter were already settled. Behind him, Shiao Yi muttered under his breath.

"You’re the one who can’t control yourself. If you’re so worried about me, maybe you should learn a little restraint."

Of course, Dominic pretended not to hear him.
