Shang's POV

After being away from Mulan for two weeks, I was eager to be back home again with her. I had been with her nearly every single day for months. For much of that, we'd been having sex. Suddenly going so many days without her had made me quite lonely, but there was no way I was going to bring a concubine to my room in the palace. I knew that would break her heart, and I wanted to be a good husband to her now. I would never seek sexual satisfaction from another woman again. My heart and my body belonged to Mulan now.

I felt I needed to make up for how I had treated her when I discovered her gender. Insisting she have sex with me so I would let her live was the most underhanded, nefarious thing I'd ever done.

Within minutes of taking care of my horse, I'd carried Mulan into our room. As soon as I'd shut the door, she whispered that she was pregnant again. This time she looked happy and so was I. There would be no abortion herbs this time. We both wanted this baby. Her pregnancy this time would be something to celebrate, not a problem to be hidden and eliminated.

After shedding my armor, I laid down and watched my beautiful wife slowly undress. I've always loved watching her remove her clothing. She used to act real uncomfortable when I watched her, but now she loved it. She always draws it out, slowly removing one clothing item at a time because she knows it drives me crazy. She tossed a sash at me, and I held it to my nose and breathed in her scent. That made me even crazier, wanting her. Another sash landed on me, and then her dress hit the floor. She very slowly removed her underclothing with an evil grin. She could see the effect it was having on me.

I held my arms out after Mulan had finally tossed the last bit of cloth onto the floor and she laid down next to me. I'd never wanted her as intensely as I did now.

I tried to move slow, but I wanted her too badly. I climbed right on her and pushed into her. It's always been the most amazing feeling whenever I first go inside her. I felt so close to her. I planted kisses all over her neck and breasts as I started moving inside her. The desperation inside me was growing so strong that I couldn't hold back anymore, and I started thrusting into her wildly until we both hit an intense peak. Then I stayed close to her until I was able to go again.

This time I could take it a little slower. I reached my hand down and rubbed that little nub until I'd brought her to an orgasm a few times.

Then I gently bit and sucked on her breasts until she suddenly arched her back and moaned loudly with a climax again. I'd never given her one that way before. I didn't even know that was possible. Something new to add to my arsenal of tricks to make my lady soldier scream. I reached my hand down again and rubbed that nub more, until she was begging me to push into her from the uncomfortable intensity of the repeated orgasms. I just grinned and kept on with what I was doing until she was yelling curse words at me.

Finally, not being able to take it anymore, she suddenly pushed me onto my back and jumped on me. This time she was the one moving wildly, and I didn't last long before I moaned into her hair and she nearly screamed into my shoulder. She rolled to the side and we both caught our breath for several minutes.

We forgot she had family here, who probably just heard everything. Ugh!

Sure enough, when we came out to eat, her Grandma nudged her in the ribs.

"Sounds like you two were trying to make us another little soldier in there." Mulan groaned.

They didn't know she was pregnant?

"Actually, Grandmama, I am pregnant."

"What? Already?"

"Yup!"

Her grandma let out a loud yell. "Hey, Mulan's pregnant!"

She blushed. Her mother and father gave her a hug. But then they both looked at me for a moment and turned away. Huh? That was weird.

Her family was not particularly friendly to me. Her Grandma stared me down once in awhile and none of them really talked to me much. When they did, it was cold and to the point.

Maybe they knew we would be moving closer to the city soon, and didn't want to lose her. Or else maybe that medic had said something to them while he was away from Wu Zhong on that supposed family business of his.

I asked Mulan if she had noticed them being unfriendly towards me. She had, but didn't exactly know why, either. The medic possibly having came here and told her parents had crossed her mind, too. She was more than ready to move closer to the Imperial City, too.

Mulan estimated there was about 8 moons before our baby would be here. While I was home, we spent hours in each other's arms.

A week after returning, I had to go back to my duties at the Imperial city. I hated leaving Mulan again, and vowed to find housing for us in or near the Imperial City so we wouldn't have to be apart so much. She cried when I left, and she wasn't one to cry often. Then I remembered that she was pregnant, and this was probably affecting her emotions.

Shortly after my arrival, I was summoned to see the Emperor. There was a special secret mission he needed me to carry out.

After showing me a map, he explained the situation. Mongol forces were gathering near our border. We had lost most of our military troops in the recent Hun invasion, and were hopelessly outnumbered. China had no way to defend itself right now.

I was needed to escort his three daughters to Qi Gong so they could marry Lord Chin's son's and seal a peace treaty. This would create an alliance so strong between Qi Gong and the Middle Kingdom that the Mongols would not dare attack us.

Then he asked if I would be willing to bring my wife along. He wanted a female to come along on this trip with the princesses, thinking this would make them more comfortable than traveling with just male soldiers.

He didn't know Mulan had secretly been a soldier in my army regiment. I preferred to keep it that way. He only knew that I had married Fa Zhou's daughter, and I had told him it had been an arranged marriage.

I told him about Mulan's pregnancy, but also that the baby's birth was a long ways off. I was fairly sure she would agree to come along, but wanted to ask her first. Because she was my wife now, we didn't need her father's approval for her to join the mission.

The Emperor gave me leave to go home and talk with her. If she was willing, she was to return with me within two days. If not, I would return alone and another woman would come along. I knew she wouldn't be crazy about that idea.

There was an underlying tension between us. I didn't want to do anything to rock the boat. I had a feeling it was because of how our relationship had started, and that it would eventually boil over. Me going on this mission with another woman could push her over the edge.

Mulan was surprised to see me the next morning. I told her about the mission and about how the Emperor wanted her to come along. She agreed to come with me. I left out the part about another woman going in her place if she didn't want to. Since she was joining me, she wouldn't need to know that.

Her family did not like the idea at all since she had just come home and was with child, but because I was her husband now they couldn't stop her. I needed her to join me and that was final. Most importantly, the Emperor had requested I bring her along, and I reminded them of that more than once.

I was happy to have the night to spend with Mulan instead of sleeping alone at the palace. Of course, we didn't sleep all that much. We were too busy making up for future lost time when we'd be in a tent near other people who probably didn't want to hear us. Of course, her family could hear us now and they probably didn't want to, either. Another reason we can't wait to move. We need a house of our own.

My favorite position for making love is when I lay on my back and she's on top of me. Her hair hangs down around my face and her breasts dangle right in front of me. Plus, I can move my hands up and down over her back and butt. She loves it when I start massaging her ass cheeks as she moves over me. I love chasing her bouncing breasts with my mouth.

It was as all this was happening that I got an idea. I remembered one of the nights we'd had sex at Wu Zhong and I'd stuck my finger up her back passage and told her that one day I would stick something else in there. That day was finally here.

When I whispered in her ear, she was agreeable and rolled off me and laid on her stomach with her knees bent. I'd wanted to do this for a long time. I wet her back passage with my saliva and juices from her heat, then slowly and carefully started to go in. She gasped in pain at first, so I paused to let her get used to it.

"Are you sure you want to do this? I can pull back out if you don't."

"No, I like it. I'm just getting used to it is all."

Then I proceeded, slow at first. It was definitely different, but I liked it. I slipped 3 fingers into her heat.

"Mmmmmm…. you can go a little faster, and deeper."

I picked up speed and continued to thrust into her passage until I had an orgasm right in her ass. It was amazing. Everything we do together is.

We made love all night. Sleep is overrated. I would rather be holding my lady soldier than getting shut eye, any time.

We left at dawn the next morning. She had to stop Khan twice on the way so she could throw up. I asked her if she was truly up for this trip. She assured me she was, that it was just morning sickness.

Just before arriving at the Imperial City, we stopped at a small nearby village to collect the three soldiers I'd chosen to come with us. They were her friends from Wu Zhong; Yao, Ling and Chien Po.

Only Chien Po had known Ping was a girl, but we quickly filled the other two in on who the lady with me was. Yao and Ling had no clue their friend had been female.

Yao seemed really embarrassed about something, but wouldn't say what. He only mumbled something about a "king of the rock". Mulan told me later about a time she had been bathing in the pond at Wu Zhong. The three had come into the water and seen her before she could swim away. Yao had jumped up on the boulder naked and boasted he was "king of the rock".

His embarrassment was likely realizing he had unknowingly completely exposed himself to a female. Luckily, at the time, none of them figured out their young friend Ping was a girl.

They were all surprised we were married already and even more surprised that she was pregnant. They had lots of teasing for me.

We quickly briefed them about the mission we were on, and they were agreeable to accompanying us. After donning their armor, we set off for the Imperial City.

The Emperor wanted us to leave first thing in the morning. Supplies were already packed for us and the princesses' belongings were ready. We all got rooms in the palace for the night.

Once again, Mulan and I spent the night making love, after she took her sweet time teasing me while she slowly removed her clothing. It was hard to pass up the chance to not have to worry about her family hearing us and being teased by her Grandma. Besides, our bed was enormous.

We made love in every position we could think of. I'll never get tired of my beautiful bride. There's nothing in the world more amazing to me than the feeling of being inside her and looking into her eyes.

Partly through the night, I got an idea and pulled on some clothes, then went in search of a concubine. After I told the young woman what we wanted, she was agreeable. Mulan was surprised and pleased when I returned to our room with her, and quickly relieved the woman of her clothing. I knew Mulan wanted to experience a woman again after the visit to the brothel during the war. The other soldiers had pushed her into a room with a prostitute, thinking she was a young, inexperienced male soldier. The two women had sex while she was there, and Mulan had very much enjoyed it.

I sat back and watched, amazed, as my wife and the concubine orally and manually pleasured each other over and over. They could have kept it up all night. Finally, I couldn't take being just a spectator, so I entered Mulan from behind while she kept her mouth on the young woman's heat. As I slammed into my wife, she jammed her fingers into the concubine and continued to wag her tongue over her clit. Eventually, the three of us laid back on the bed and caught our breath, then our new friend left.

We didn't think anyone else was in a room nearby us, but we were wrong. Yao was next to us on one side, Ling was on the other and Chien Po was across the hall. Apparently, they all heard everything, but hopefully they didn't know anyone had joined us during the night.

As soon as we emerged in the morning, the teasing started. We had kept them awake all night, couldn't we control ourselves? She was already pregnant, were we trying for twins? Mulan blushed like crazy and I glared at them, but they just laughed and kept teasing us. It was going to be a long trip.

While the soldiers and myself stood guard, the princesses came outside and bid their father goodbye. Then they got in the carriage. Chien Po rode on a horse behind them, while Ling and Yao steered the horses in the front of the carriage. Mulan and I rode on our horses ahead of them.

We had three days to get to Qi Gong. I had a map which laid out the route we needed to take.
