Hua Cheng had kept feeding him quite a few grapes before Xie Lian realised that his alpha was slowly manipulating him to lean more and more forward. He kept holding grapes out for him, close enough that Xie Lian would open his mouth and stretch his neck out to reach the food, only for Hua Cheng to snatch his hand back teasingly, coaxing Xie Lian to move forward even more before he eventually allowed Xie Lian to eat.
Xie Lian had only realised Hua Cheng's strategy once he'd already been coaxed to lean in rather closely, so he couldn't come up with a counter strategy in time before his alpha held out another grape for him, but he did have an idea on how to surprise his alpha. So he pretended to go along with his shenanigans like he'd done before, however when Hua Cheng pushed the grape into his mouth this time, Xie Lian didn't take it completely, and bit down on it just enough to have a secure grip on it with his teeth, before he moved forwards a bit more than Hua Cheng had already positioned him, and pressed the outer half of the grape against his alpha's lips.
His alpha readily bit off half of it, and gave him a quick peck simultaneously, before he chewed on his grape. After he swallowed, he licked his lips, which… did things to Xie Lian's insides, and he couldn't help but buck his hips against Hua Cheng's.
"Gege is getting impatient", his alpha said in an admonishing tone, which had Xie Lian whine, just a little bit, but much to his embarrassment.
His alpha cooed at him, and slid his hand underneath Xie Lian's veil in order to stroke his cheek, which Xie Lian leaned into.
At Xie Lian's action, his alpha huffed in amusement, but kept stroking his cheek, much to his delight. He kept enjoying these gentle caresses for quite a while, before he opened his eyes again, and saw his alpha looking at him with an incredibly soft look on his face.
Hua Cheng sighed lightly before he smiled fondly.
"Gege… you don't even know how much I love you, do you?", he asked quietly, though he didn't seem like he expected an answer.
Rather predictably, Xie Lian blushed crimson immediately, and buried his head into his alpha's chest, beyond pleased at hearing those words. It was silly, to have such a reaction to those three words, but on the inside, Xie Lian was squealing his head off in joy and wasn't even able to contain it completely. Thus he purred rather loudly and in a rather high pitch for Hua Cheng to hear as well.
Once he was done with his little celebration he sat up again, ready to face a now amused looking Hua Cheng once more.
"It can't be as much as I love you", he replied then, and quite enjoyed it when his alpha's eye widened at hearing it.
His alpha smiled, which turned into a big grin, and then into a full blown happy laugh, before he pulled Xie Lian against his chest again, hugging him fiercely.
"Let's not make a contest out of this, gege. If we do, it'll be like our go games- neverending", he chuckled.
"I don't think I'd mind that", Xie Lian mumbled, face squashed against his alpha's pecks.
They stayed like this for a while, before Xie Lian remembered that he was supposed to try and seduce his alpha, not be all cuddly and tame. So, he bucked his hips forward again, however he didn't move up from his comfortable position of lying on top of his alpha. Instead, he moved his hand to stroke his alpha's waist, while he kept slowly moving his hips in a light thrusting motion.
Xie Lian moved his hand to stroke upwards, until he'd reached his alpha's chest. He remembered feeling absolutely incredible at having his alpha play with his own chest before, so he tried to copy it, and used one of his digits to circle around the area where he thought his alpha's nipple should be located. He couldn't see it through the cloth, but it didn't take long before his alpha's nipple hardened, and finally became visible enough.
Once Xie Lian knew where exactly it was located, his efforts at stimulating it became more precise, and he tried to flick against it, which had the very nice effect of Hua Cheng's hips bucking up against his. He kept playing with it for a while, before he decided it would be fun to try and mouth against it, which didn't taste nice with the fabric still covering it, but his alpha's reaction was indeed fun. He hummed, and Hua Cheng's hands flew to grab Xie Lian's butt, pulling his hips down, while thrusting his own upwards at the same time.
It caused Xie Lian to groan, and his hips seemed to develop a mind of their own; they kept thrusting against his alpha's, and he didn't feel like he was in control of his body enough to stop it. Not that he wanted to stop in the first place, but he just felt like he was physically unable to do so.
Still, Xie Lian's mind was clear enough to provide him with another idea he wanted to try, and thus he quickly sat up again. After all, the music was still playing, and wouldn't it have a nice effect on his alpha if he'd just… dance on his lap directly? Surely that should have a stronger effect on him than dancing from a distance.
Thus, Xie Lian forced his hips to stop their mindless rutting, and move to the music instead. It was very hard to do, because the music was still very slow, and his hips definitely had different plans. But since the music was still very sensual as well, Xie Lian thought it was a good time to try and incorporate touching himself while dancing.
He switched from slowly thrusting his hips in time with the music, to rotating them instead, and put his hands flat against the side of his hips, before he slowly started to move them upwards, let them roam across his stomach and chest, even touching his own neck while throwing his head back for good measure, before he lowered them again.
However this time, he stopped them at his chest, and started to play with it through his dancer's garments. He realised his hips had started thrusting instead of rotating again once he'd taken his attention off them, but it was fine. No matter which way he moved, he could feel Hua Cheng growing hard beneath him, and could feel his size pressing against him already. It was an incredibly satisfying feeling, and Xie Lian had a lot of fun teasing his alpha by varying the pressure with which he was sliding over his length.
His alpha's hands had gripped his hips the whole time, but had never attempted to guide his movements, and were only used to steady him. Now however, Hua Cheng took his hands off of Xie Lian's hips, and grabbed the band of fabric that was attached to his sleeves, winding behind his back. Hua Cheng used it to pull Xie Lian against his body with one rough tug on both ends, and once Xie Lian had tumbled on top of him. His alpha ripped his veil off of his face as well, before he kissed Xie Lian deeply, and impatiently.
Xie Lian could only try to keep up with his mouth, but he did use the opportunity to slide his hand underneath Hua Cheng's top. It was a tight fit, but he still managed to play with his nipple skin on skin, making his alpha's groan.
Eventually, Hua Cheng ended the kiss, and instead proceeded to kiss his way along Xie Lian's jaw, until he reached his ear.
"You'll be the death of me", he whispered straight into it, before he bit his earlobe, causing a jolt to run through Xie Lian's whole body.
"San Lang… touch me", Xie Lian whispered back through his shuddering.
"Hm? Isn't gege already touching himself plenty?", his alpha teased him.
"That's not good enough", Xie Lian complained, and stopped playing with Hua Cheng's nipple in what was supposed to be a sort of punishment.
"Then I'm afraid gege will have to convince me, because I'm enjoying watching you touch yourself quite a lot", his mean alpha decided, and kissed his cheek, before he leaned back against the lounger.
Xie Lian whined, but he did comply.
He figured his strongest argument would probably be a blowjob, so he moved his hips down along his alpha's legs, before he moved in to kiss his stomach. He even licked along the lines of his muscles and couldn't resist the urge to dip his tongue into Hua Cheng's somehow alluring belly button. He bit the edge of it as well, just because, before he eventually pulled his alpha's pants down just enough to free his cock.
It was incredibly hard already, so Xie Lian just licked his lips and then went right ahead to take the tip into his mouth, and moved his head down on it as much as he could, before he started massaging him with his tongue. This time, he wasn't quite as insecure as he'd been last time he'd done it, and even used his hand to very carefully massage alpha's balls as well.
Unlike last time, Hua Cheng was visibly affected immediately, and put his hand on Xie Lian's head, stroking his hair, or just just holding it. It felt nice either way.
However, Hua Cheng used that same hand to pull his head off of him much sooner than Xie Lian had anticipated, and he couldn't help the bout of insecurity that got hold of him when he did. His alpha must have noticed it on his scent, and immediately started rumbling.
"If you keep doing it, this will be a very short fun time for us", he explained, and Xie Lian flushed, once he'd realised what he'd meant. But he was still very pleased to have made his alpha feel this good.
"Did it convince you then?", he asked, his hips already inching forward again.
"It most certainly did", he said, and grabbed Xie Lian by the waist, moving him to sit on his abs, before roaming his hands all over Xie Lian's body with just the right amount of pressure to almost make it seem like a massage. However it didn't take too long before both of his hands came to a stop over Xie Lian's chest, and Hua Cheng played with it in a much rougher manner than Xie Lian had done himself earlier. It had him mewling and moaning within seconds, and all he could do was hold on to Hua Cheng's forearms while pressing his chest further and further into his alpha's nimble hands.
Xie Lian started shaking before long, and that was when Hua Cheng stopped, and moved his hands down Xie Lian's sides again, leaving him rather disappointed.
"San Lang", he sighed.
"Be patient, gege. I want to draw this out as long as possible", Hua Cheng explained, and with a reasoning such as this, Xie Lian couldn't even be mad, though he kind of wanted to be. After all, he really, really wanted-
"I-... San Lang", he started, but couldn't quite bring himself to say it.
"Hm?", his alpha asked indulgently, massaging circles into Xie Lian's stomach, low enough to affect his groin rather spectacularly.
"I want you inside me", Xie Lian managed to stutter out, his hips already rutting against Hua Cheng's again.
"That can be arranged", his alpha replied, and moved his hands onto Xie Lian's thighs, before he ripped an additional hole into his pants, right where the seam of his crotch area was.
Xie Lian jumped at the sudden forceful display of strength, but couldn't help but feel even more aroused by it.
Hua Cheng then proceeded to guide Xie Lian's entrance to line up with his length, before he paused.
"Can you take it like this or do you want me to stretch you first?", he asked, and somehow Xie Lian felt reassured by it. He just knew from the way his alpha had asked that no matter what he chose, Hua Cheng would happily oblige.
But still, he really wanted his alpha inside of him right this instant, and he had no patience for any more playing around beforehand. So instead of answering, Xie Lian pushed his hips down, until he could feel the tip pressing against his hole. Then he pressed down some more, until it was pushed inside.
Compared to last time it was indeed quite a bit more of a stretch, and he almost considered withdrawing at the intensity of it, but a bigger part of him… well. A bigger part of him just wanted to take his alpha as he was. Silly as it was, he wanted to prove to himself that he didn't need to be prepared in order for them to fit, and he would gladly endure a little bit of extra discomfort for it.
Thus, Xie Lian kept pushing down, slowly and with breaks, until he eventually had Hua Cheng fully sheathed inside of him, and could take a rest, sitting on his alpha's lap.
Hua Cheng had kept massaging circles into his hips and thighs during the whole process, and it had certainly caused enough slick to be produced for Xie Lian to keep going despite the pain, but he only realised now that his alpha's attention was on his stomach.
He looked down as well, and knew immediately what his alpha was staring at so intensely.
Above the red waistband, there was a bit of a small bulge, pressing against the inside of just below his belly button. Xie Lian had already felt quite full before, but seeing this now, he could only shudder and moan, involuntary clenching around Hua Cheng's length as well. It caused his alpha to take in a sharp breath of air, and his hands on Xie Lian's hips tightened, before he let go, and slipped them in the side openings of his pants, before he grabbed his butt, and squeezed that instead.
Xie Lian didn't have the brain capacity to react to that, still occupied with the sight he was seeing, and slowly moved his hands to touch the small bulge. It created some strange feelings in him that he would analyse later, he decided, and forced himself to concentrate on the task at hand.
He used his leg muscles to push himself upwards again, just a bit, before he let himself slide down once more experimentally. The stretch still burned a bit, but it was already much more bearable, so he started to move up and down on Hua Cheng's length, trying to find a pace that matched the music, but it was difficult, and he couldn't quite manage to keep steady even when he thought he got the hang of it.
In the end, he felt too frustrated to keep going, and looked to Hua Cheng for help. He only realised then that his alpha was already covered in a sheet of sweat, and looked... somewhat constipated.
"S-San Lang… I'm sorry. I can't do this", he admitted, feeling ashamed of being such a bad lover.
His alpha took a shuddering breath, before he pulled his hands away from his butt and out of his pants, and used them to pull Xie Lian against his chest, and hugged him tightly.
"Don't apologise for something like that, gege. Not ever. Nobody can do everything, especially not without practice, but I still love everything you do anyway", he said sincerely, and kissed his forehead.
It made sense, but Xie Lian still felt a bit bad about it.
"C-can you…? Please?", he asked, because he still really wanted to keep going. He just didn't want to be on top of his alpha anymore.
"Of course", his alpha replied readlily while stroking his hair. "How do you want me to do it?"
"I don't care. I just want to be under San Lang and for San Lang to do it in a way that makes me forget I was ever on top of him", Xie Lian mumbled.
Hua Cheng purred at that, for whatever reason, before he chuckled.
"Gege might end up regretting letting me on the loose like that", his alpha warned him in a deep, sultry voice, that went straight to Xie Lian's groin, and he couldn't help but buck his hips.
"I won't. Do whatever you like", he said, feeling confident that, if it was his alpha, he would always still make sure it would feel good for Xie Lian as well.
Hua Cheng groaned, and took a moment to compose himself, before he grabbed Xie Lian's hips, and moved him off of him, making both of them hiss. Then he got up from the lounger, before he proceeded to push Xie Lian's chest against the backrest, making him straddle the comfortably padded lounger. It was a rather wide piece of furniture however, so Xie Lian could definitely feel the stretch in his legs at having them spread this wide. Though it was quickly overshadowed when he could feel Hua Cheng's longer legs pressing up against the backside of one of his own.
He grabbed Xie Lian's hips, lined them up, and pushed himself in, not as slowly as Xie Lian had done earlier, but not fast enough to be painful either. However, he pushed in extremely deeply, so far that Xie Lian could even feel his butt cheeks being lifted, and he was eventually forced to arch his back until he was perfectly moulded against the lounger.
He was about to complain about how straining the position was, when Hua Cheng started thrusting into him with force at the same time, holding nothing back. Instead of a complaint, Xie Lian could only let out gasps and moans and he figured he didn't even have a need to complain anymore to begin with.
Despite the position, or maybe because of it, he could feel his alpha deep inside him, and with every single one of his thrusts, Xie Lian's whole body moved against the lounger as well, effectively stimulating his nipples and entirely neglected dick as well. It was almost a sensory overload, he felt like the only thing that was keeping him from shattering into pieces in this moment was Hua Cheng's steady hand in between his shoulder blades.
It wasn't long before he came, and while Hua Cheng kept pounding into him throughout his climax, he came to a stop soon afterwards, stroking his back and head and sides, but Xie Lian could feel that he was still very hard inside of him, and that he still wasn't done with him. Which excited him, a lot.
"Gege is such a good omega", Hua Cheng praised him, which excited him even more, and even made him purr, causing his alpha to chuckle fondly. "There are so many things I want to try with you… gege, will you let me restrain you?"
A shudder ran through Xie Lian's whole body at the thought, and all he could do was to nod wildly. "Please", he somehow managed to whine.
Hua Cheng immediately proceeded to take the band of fabric still attached to Xie Lian's clothes, and used it to wrap his arms up in front of his stomach, with his forearms clasped together from his elbows all the way to his wrists. He didn't tie it, but instead used one of his rings to keep the ends in place, before his alpha positioned him in a rather undignified kneeling position on the lounger, with his butt sticking up high in the air, and his weight resting on his tied up forearms.
"You can get out of this pretty easily, gege. But if the ring stays where it is, you'll get an extra treat when we're done, okay?", his alpha murmured into his ear, and, treat or not, Xie Lian had already been determined to not move a single bit even before Hua Cheng had said that. But his alpha didn't need to know that, so he just nodded. It earned him a kiss on his temple, before Hua Cheng got behind him again.
However, unlike Xie Lian's expectation, Hua Cheng didn't enter him right away again, and instead started caressing his butt. Not that Xie Lian minded the gentle touch, it was just not what he had expected, and if he was honest, he was a bit impatient to be filled by his alpha again.
He couldn't bear saying it out loud however, and so he just wiggled his hips, hoping his alpha would understand.
Hua Cheng chuckled in amusement, and patted his butt, before he suddenly thrust into him with one quick motion that had Xie Lian cry out in surprise. He even had to make a conscious effort not to flail, and ruin his chances of a treat later.
His alpha started pounding into him with vigour, and all Xie Lian could do was hold on and let him. He didn't even attempt to match his movements, because he didn't think he'd be able to keep up with the pace, especially not without accidentally untying himself.
But even though he stayed as motionless as he possibly could, he very much enjoyed his alpha's actions. So much so that he wished Hua Cheng would go even faster, and thrust into him just a little harder. However, every time he tried to say something like it, all the sounds he managed to produce were rather animalistic, and he couldn't do much more than mewl and moan and gasp and grunt at this point.
However, because Xie Lian was still so concentrated on not moving at all, he didn't let himself go enough to experience a second orgasm. Which was why, when Hua Cheng pulled out, Xie Lian's shaking had nothing to do with climaxing, and everything to do with the strain of not letting himself go.
Xie Lian hadn't gathered his bearings yet, when he felt Hua Cheng press against his back, before he grabbed him around the middle, and carefully pulled Xie Lian's upper body up with him, letting him lean against his alpha while he tried to stop his shaking.
"Are you holding up okay, gege?", Hua Cheng asked, still hugging from behind, and stroking over his stomach.
Xie Lian nodded, though it took another few moments before he managed to say "the ring didn't fall off".
His alpha looked at his arms himself, before he kissed Xie Lian on the cheek, and nuzzled his neck.
"Indeed. My omega is truly the best", Hua Cheng said, before he took the ring off himself, and untied Xie Lian's arms again.
When he did so, his hand accidentally brushed against Xie Lian's dick, causing him to hiss. It hadn't even been touched yet, but it was as sensitive as if it had already been overstimulated.
Hua Cheng finished untying him without comment, but once he was done, he plunged his hand into the front of Xie Lian's pants, and grabbed his dick in his big, warm hand and Xie Lian screamed at the sudden sensation, his arms flying to cling on to his alpha's forearms.
His alpha gave him time to calm down again, just holding him in his hand comfortably, until his panting had calmed down a bit. Still, while it did feel nice to have such warmth surrounding him so tightly, what he really wanted was to have his alpha inside him again. After all, they'd done two rounds already, and his alpha still hadn't climaxed! And Xie Lian really wanted to have him do it inside him again, preferably without passing out this time.
"San Lang… inside", he managed to gasp, to which his alpha nuzzled his neck.
"I won't pull out for a long time once we start again, so let's do the last round on the bed, okay gege? It'll be more comfortable to cuddle there afterwards", his alpha murmured into his over-sensitive skin.
Xie Lian nodded, and so Hua Cheng took it upon himself to carry him up the steps and placed him on the bed gently, lying him down on his back, before he crawled on top of him.
Xie Lian readily spread his legs for his alpha as wide as he possibly could, and Hua Cheng didn't waste another moment to slip inside him again, though much more slowly than he'd done before. He didn't wait before most of his length slid out again, and Xie Lian was almost about to tell him to move faster. When his alpha pushed in again, it still wasn't particularly fast, but there was a strength behind it that let Xie Lian see stars in his vision.
Hua Cheng kept driving him insane with those slow but powerful thrusts, and somehow everything felt suddenly much more intimate. Maybe it was because they were facing each other now, or maybe it was because Xie Lian finally let himself go and didn't hold himself back when his body wanted to twist in pleasure underneath his alpha, while Hua Cheng was watching him closely. Or maybe it was because of the additional affection his alpha showed him, by kissing his neck and face and shoulders while he kept thrusting into him. Xie Lian didn't know, and he didn't particularly care; he just knew that he absolutely loved it, being with Hua Cheng like this.
He loved being with Hua Cheng in general, but having his alpha inside him, as well as his alpha's full attention on him, while they were both doing something like this… whatever it was, it caused Xie Lian to reach the peak of his pleasure sooner than he really wanted, and harder than he had anticipated, and he clung to his alpha through all of it. And his alpha kept holding him through all of it. He even climaxed just a moment after Xie Lian's own orgasm had started. Feeling his alpha's load shoot straight into him again, almost made Xie Lian cry in bliss, and he held onto Hua Cheng even tighter.
And again, his alpha's knot stretched him wider than he'd thought possible, and it caused only minimal discomfort. He couldn't help but purr anyway.
However, different to last time, he didn't fall asleep, and his alpha kept nuzzling and stroking him for the whole duration of his knot, which lasted until the music outside had eventually stopped playing, and then some. He didn't know how long it was, just that it was long, and that he had expected to feel much more awkward having Hua Cheng inside of him after having calmed down from their passion.
But Xie Lian realised that this was incredibly nice and… peaceful, to be in such an intimate position while not only innocently caressing each other, but also talking over mostly trivial things. He felt much more open and vulnerable like this, but, because it was Hua Cheng he shared this experience with, he didn't even mind it. In fact, he really liked spending his time with his alpha like this; stuck together and talking about silly, innocuous little things.
Eventually however, the knot deflated, and Xie Lian almost felt a bit sad when his alpha's length slipped out of him. But he told himself they would definitely repeat this again soon enough.
"Gege, do you want your treat now?", his alpha asked, after he'd laid down beside him.
Xie Lian nodded with a grin.
"What is my treat anyway?"
"A very thorough massage. Do you want it here on the bed or in the pool?"
Xie Lian's grin widened, thinking that maybe a repeat would happen much sooner than he'd anticipated, if he played his cards right again.
"The pool."
Hua Cheng grinned, and wasted no time in picking Xie Lian up, before carrying him to the pool.
Honestly, Xie Lian thought that, despite all the horrible things that had happened to him not even a year ago, he really was incredibly lucky to have ended up here, with Hua Cheng, an alpha that truly loved and cherished him, and an alpha Xie Lian loved and treasured from the bottom of his heart as well.
He had undoubtedly lost a lot, too much, in a short amount of time, and he didn't think the pain of it would ever leave him entirely, but he'd also regained something he thought he'd lost for good when he was just a child: the only honest friend he'd ever known. His companion, who didn't care about Xie Lian's status, be it high or low, but who cared about Xie Lian himself; his person, his feelings, his thoughts… and now that Xie Lian had found Hua Cheng again, well, he honestly didn't think he could have asked for more in this life.
