*One Hour*
Ling opened his eyes to see Lan Fan's eyes staring back into his. Her eyes were filled with concern and pain. He sat up on his bed in the cheap hotel room they had rented. They were on the run because of Greed again.
"I think I've only got about an hour before..." Ling's strained voice trailed off and he stared at Lan Fan's beautiful face. No more words were spoken; none were needed. She understood that Greed would return soon and Ling could only hold him off for so long.
Lan Fan hurriedly leaned in to kiss her prince, her best friend. They both exchanged passionate kisses and hushed words of want and need for contact with each other. They hadn't been intimate forbso long because of Greed and Ling's search for immortality.
Once their clothes were out of the way, Ling laid Lan Fan down with her back on the bed. He trailed loving kisses up and down her neck as she let out her lovely musical sighs and tiny moans which he adored so much. Ling held her hand as he made love to her like it was his last day on earth; for all he knew, it very well could have been his last day.
A single tear ran down Lan Fan's cheek as Ling kissed away all of her fears for the time being. She must have climaxed multiple times but Ling kept pushing, kept urging her on. He only had so much time with the love of his life an damnit, he would let her know just how much he really loved her.
Lan Fan lost track of how many times Ling had given her a climax or how many times he himself had climaxed. She didn't care, she clung to Ling's hand as if it were her lifeline. In this moment, Ling was her oxygen.
As the heated session began to slow down, Ling looked straight into his lover's eyes as Lan Fan's small and delicate hand tightened on his and they both climaxed one last time. Afterwards, Ling soothed his lover by kissing her neck and nibbling on her earlobe, murmuring "I love you," over and over again. When Lan Fan finally caught her breath again, she kissed Ling's longing lips again and again whispering back to him soothing and reassuring "I love you"s.
Lan Fan wasn't sure how long their love making had lasted but in the end, Ling fell asleep with his head on her chest, listening to her heartbeat. She she wasn't aware of it but it was the only thing that could truly help him sleep sound. She wasn't sure how much time they had left but she was thankful for that moment. She gently brushed his bangs out of his face and caressed him while he slept peacefully. This was the first time she could recall that he wasn't thrashing about from nightmares or from Greed's torture as he slept.
Many times Lan Fan had considered leaving for all the times Greed had hurt her, tricked her, or kept her from Ling, but times like this one hour they had was enough to make her stay faithfully by Ling's side until death.
