Happiness

After two hours of rest along with near constant massaging between the pair, Li felt strong enough to move. Relief washed over as she felt balanced while getting off the bed. She took a deep breath now making her way to the shower. When finished, she dressed herself in her usual qipao outfit. He was already dressed and waiting for her, leaning against the wall beside the door with arms crossed. He smirked mischievously, beckoning her over. This woman had a hold on him that he wasn't even fully aware of yet. Denying any requests flat out would prove to be much more difficult for him the longer she remained in his presence.

She went to him willingly, returning his embrace as powerful arms wrapped around her waist. He nuzzled a bright red cheek. Somehow his touch still caused an intense chemical reaction. Without another word she followed him to the training area holding firmly onto an arm. She knew very well what was to come by the no-nonsense look given from him.

"I'll only be as rough with you as desired, darling. Tell me when you've had enough or wish for my attacks to cease."

She gave a small nod, stretching first for a minute. There looked to be at least fifteen feet of distance between the pair. Her stance immediately started out as defensive. Michael took an offensive stance as always. This came as no surprise to her as she decided to suddenly charge him, performing a false slide kick then executing her hazanshu attack. She leapt high into the air, doing her infamous front flip kick to which he easily countered, half expecting this to happen.

She silently landed directly in his front as he grabbed small wrists subtly removing spiked bracelets beforehand. He pinned her up against the wall with haste situating himself in between provocative legs.

"Shall we fight or fuck darling because I could strongly smell your arousal upon entering this area."

A heavy blush painted an uncertain face her gaze slowly meeting his intense stare. Gentle lips parted as she tried forcing out an answer but failed. Her legs wrapped around him tightly making him know fully well what she desired. His hands felt down to her bottom, squeezing hard, his lips lightly brushing against hers. A longing moan escaped from soft lips furthering his arousal.

"We made love only moments before and you already want more...That sex of yours is certainly greedy, my darling. Shall I accommodate its needs now?"

Woah, he actually asked for her permission. Guess the devil was on holiday today.

'He didn't just actually ask me permission to...make love, did he? Dare I admit this but it makes him look so sexy. I can't resist him when he does this.'

"Yes, I want you, Michael. I can't seem to resist your enticement. Just...put it in me."

"And no foreplay this time? My my, your arousal has no end it seems. What a naughty, carnal woman."

He arched a curious brow being gentle which yet again, completely caught her off guard. His hands undressed her slowly, the outfit falling onto the floor. He pulled her tights down then moved her panties to the side as she made quick work of his buckle and pants, pulling them down to his knees. They both gave each other small smiles, her half-expecting his next reply. Of course it would most likely be about their deal.

"Shall the wager begin now then? It's only fair since we're already here and you've had sufficient time to rest after all."

"Yes, it certainly is. Let's start now."

He just kept throwing her off guard for the remainder of their session that day. After making the wager he acted as if he were going to begin then held her while laying down allowing her to start first while on top. When that position was over, he stood back up thrusting at a slow pace. She had at first as well. It seemed as though he mimicked what all she had done. He was playing this smart, waiting until his turn to get her off. She knew that if she grinded or moved against him too hard then it was all over and she'd be done for.

After the first hour passed by of laying down then Li bending on knees she got on him again, moving at a moderate pace. This time she faced away and leaned back quickening the pace. He allowed this to go on for a few minutes deciding it time for him to make a move. What he did next shocked her and she highly doubted she'd ever forget it. He held firmly onto soft hips, moving quickly until he ejaculated. He just let her win that easily. This couldn't actually be happening right now...He seemed to have lost on purpose. This made her feel furious.

"Wait...Why did you do that? You know that you could easily outlast-"

He pulled her back, kissing a stunned open mouth. She felt a mixture of anger and perplexion, bewildered beyond belief.

"Shut up and go have fun. Remember woman, three days time. If you are not back here by then I shall come seek you out. Rest assured, you do not want that. Punishment for disobedience will be quite severe."

He helped her stand walking to a nearby restroom afterwards. His hand beckoned for her to come which she willingly did. He grabbed a towel, cleaning both of them.

"Out of curiosity, what would you do to me if I tried to escape or didn't come back at all?"

He gazed at this cute unknowing expression, cocked head and all. She certainly did look adorable when pondering a matter.

"Does the term "bondage" ring any bells? Familiar with it?"

Her eyes went wide, a heavy blush making itself known.

"Hahaha, I take that facial expression as "affirmative". Depending on how long you left me for or I couldn't find you then that's how long you would be tied up for, my darling."

She nodded in recognition both returning to the training area and dressing themselves.

"I'll be back at this time on the third day."

"You better, darling, lest I have to fetch you myself."

She gave a small hug before running off, a warm chuckle filling her ears. He patted her back watching her until he only stood in the room. That had been how most of his life felt until her. His hair even grew colorless over time, nearly translucent as if it were a representation of his cold, lonely heart. Ever since his fusion with Bahtus as a young adult that's how it had always been. However, everything seemed to be changing for the better since Bahtus had his goddess and another god to keep him company then he had her...his angel. His hair even began to turn back to its original black color.

This was how things went from there on out. They'd make deals with one another, have playful contests or he'd just simply allow her a few days or even a week of freedom. He went on to become a ruler with her at his side, even showing mercy often. Within months of having her in his life, he cut ties with the drug world, content with his new life. Dare he admit it, she gave him all the high he needed and even got more of an adrenaline rush while being with her.

She had given him what he thought he'd never experience again- happiness. His mother's words played throughout his head on that day. He remembered how she had wrapped her arms around him in a warm hug as a small boy. He had asked her why people hate each other and couldn't just love and be happy then somehow the conversation had led to him wondering if he would ever find it himself.

"Son, if you truly seek happiness then it is important to love a woman. By doing so, you will set her free and she you in return. When she returns love willingly then you'll know that she's the right one...Love above all will only bring you happiness. When loving yourself and others, you are a reflection of everything right with the world; of everything God intended for us to be."

Before leaving she briefly stopped to glance back, giving a small wave heading off to go see her friends who would one day even become his. Life wasn't all that cruel in the end...Not if you found the right one to share it with.
