CH 41 – The day after
Lan Zhan woke as normal at 5am, and as normal Wei Ying….well didn't! Opening his eyes Lan Zhan looked over at his still sleeping husband. It had been a while since he had had time to linger in bed and just look at Wei Ying's face. The closed eyelids that currently hid those eyes that could make people run a mile from both their mischievousness and anger, but mostly made him weak from the love he saw in them. The relaxed mouth that could do that wicked grin that always meant trouble. Almost without thinking he ran a finger gently against Wei Ying's lips, remembering all the times he had kissed them, all the times he had bit them so they bled, all the times…..Lan Zhan was startled out of his thoughts when Wei Ying opened his mouth to suck on the fingertip. Lan Zhan couldn't believe what he was seeing, Wei Ying was still fast asleep. I could be anyone right now…..and your happily sucking on my finger!, he thought to himself a little anger and jealously beginning to rise at the non-existent person who could have possibly climbed into his husbands bed.
Wei Ying's lips curled up as he sucked leisurely on Lan Zhan's finger tip, completely asleep. The fact that his husband was asleep, and still reacting like this sent Lan Zhan's senses into war with each other. Part of him loved the way Wei Ying always responded to him, loved the way only he could create such noises from his husband. Another part of him hated that even though Wei Ying was asleep he still responded without any clue who was touching him. Lust and jealously fought in his body as he looked down, he couldn't cope with it. Pushing his finger a little deeper inside Wei Ying's mouth, not deep enough to choke him but enough for the tip of his finger to play with the others tongue. Still Wei Ying remained asleep while his tongue wound around the finger, further aggravating the sense frustration within his husband, whipping it up into fury.
Lan Zhan removed his finger. Looking down at the still sleeping man, who seemed to choose that moment to roll over slightly and bare his upper torso even more to view. At this small movement something in Lan Zhan snapped and he lifted Wei Ying's chin with one hand, pausing long enough to place his own lips on his husbands. The kiss was not chaste at all, it was full of hunger and frustration, full of desire and claim. At first there was only Lan Zhan's tongue moving but slowly Wei Ying seemed to start waking. His tongue meeting his husbands deep and strong, although his eyes were still closed. Small noises began coming from both men's throats and Lan Zhan couldn't help it as a hand slid over the body underneath him. His palm slid slowly over Wei Ying's chest, first caressing his abdomen before moving upwards to stroke his fingers over those responsive nipples he loved.
Wei Ying's throat was beginning to make those small moans that always made Lan Zhan's rational mind take a vacation, and today was no exception. Despite Wei Ying only partly being awake Lan Zhan slide his hand further down the bare body he knew so well, purposely avoiding the already hard member as his fingers slid into his husbands ass slowly stretching him open. This movement of course made the moans erupting from Wei Ying's throat even louder and insistent than before and Lan Zhan pulled his mouth away to look down at the man below him.
Shameless…..' He growled….the low voice tinged with the warring feelings of jealously and desire running through him. 'Do you even know who I am right now? And yet your responding like this.'
As if to emphasise his point he forced his finger a little deeper into his husband, causing him to arch his hips of the bed slightly in response. Lan Zhan was never really in control when he and Wei Ying made love, but this morning the mix of them not being intimate for what seemed like years and Wei Ying's responses while still sleeping seemed to be driving him insane. Lan Zhan's was hard himself and the urge to claim his husband again and again surged through him as he once again imagined that faceless person in bed with Wei Ying, making Wei Ying moan like this, and Wei Ying being fast asleep and not noticing it wasn't HIM!
A second finger joined the first and Lan Zhan's lips found Wei Ying's mouth once again, just as forceful as before but this time drowning out moans from the other. Just when the war inside Lan Zhan's soul felt like it was going to split him in two he once again raised his head to get a breath of life saving air. Wei Ying still lay still below him, his relaxed body pliant in his hands, however this time his eyes where open. Those eyes that stared back where not sleepy as would have been expected, instead they shone with crystal clear understanding. They seemed to bore into Lan Zhan's soul as he stilled, staring, back. After a moment Wei Ying smiled and laughed a little.
'Shameless?' He asked as if to no one in particular before shrugging and speaking with a beaming smile. 'You should think about what your doing before you call me shameless. Taking advantage of a sleeping man…..tut tut Lan Zhan!'
Lan Zhan fought down the urge to fidget. Once Wei Ying's words would have sent him cowering away but now! Now he just pressed a third finger to join the other two, stretching Wei Ying's entrance even more and causing the other to gasp.
'Of course your shameless. Look at how turned on you are and you didn't even know who I was.' He retorted.
Wei Ying waited a moment to get his breath back and then smiled again, wiggling his hips while keeping his eyes firmly pinned on Lan Zhan's face as he spoke.
'You really think I didn't know who you were?' laughter filled his voice as he moved his hips around Lan Zhan's fingers as well as sliding one hand down Lan Zhan's body to rest on the hardness between his legs. This time it was Lan Zhan's turn to catch a breath as Wei Ying continued. 'Even asleep I know your touch anywhere, I know your taste anywhere… your smell anywhere…...your heartbeat! But even if I didn't…' His hand squeezed slightly causing another harsh breath. 'Even if I didn't I know. My Lan Zhan is far to overprotective and jealous to let anyone see me in bed let alone touch me.'
Lan Zhan removed his fingers and grabbed hold of the hand holding his member, tugging it away sharply. Pinning both of Wei Ying's wayward hands over his head with one of his own, as usual Wei Ying just laid there smiling not attempting to fight back. Lan Zhan positioned his lower and upper bodies where he wanted them and as he slid inside his husband for the first time in what seemed forever, at the same time he bit down on Wei Ying's lower lip hard enough to draw blood.
'Mine' he growled, the sound coming out more animal than human.
Wei Ying rolled his hips to meet the hard invasion, both men enjoying the intimacy after so long. Wei Ying laughed.
'I think you have reached a new high Er'Ge. Being jealous of a figment of your imagination. Who were you imagining was…...ahhh'
Lan Zhan sped up suddenly, setting a punishing speed and depth as he tried to get Wei Ying's naughty mouth, Wei Ying's accurate words, to stop. Hearing the groans and moans, the begging for more and the begging to stop, served to both clear his head and make it more fuzzy at the same time. But that was normal around Wei Ying. Around Wei Ying more like himself and less like himself all at once, always had. He bit down once again on the sore bottom lip causing more noises to spill forth from both of them.
'Ahhhh….ok….okk….I will stop teasing you.' Wei Ying groaned. 'Just stop biting me or I will have no lip left.'
Lan Zhan wasn't sure he heard the words any more, just his husbands voice in that tone of voice that didn't allow him to think. He just knew that the deeper and harder he thrust the more that groan would find its way to his ears almost as a prayer. So he moved, moved deeply, and those groans did get louder in his ears. So much so that eventually his mouth found its way to a soft patch of skin where he could feel the others racing pulse, and he bit down hard enough to leave his mark on skin.
A few hours later the two where washed and dressed, no sign of their morning activities showed outwards as they walked towards the centre of the Cloud Reccess. A little earlier as soon as they had left the Jingshi they had met up with a Lan disciple who was waiting for them outside their gate. From the disciples body language they could both see he had been waiting a while, however he would not dare enter without permission unless something was life or death so he remained outside. The disciple gave them a message that Lan XiChen wished to see them both as soon as they were able and vanished.
When they had arrived at the door of the Sect Leader, they had been admitted quickly. All Lan XiChen had wanted to speak to them about was if they had managed to figure out the ward and where ready to place it. The answer had been yes on both counts so the two had left as quickly as they had entered. Neither of them saw XiChen's wry smile at the two being nearly three hours later than normal to come out of their home, or the not quite hidden bite mark on Wei Ying's neck. He was just glad at least something was getting back to normal.
Both men looked around the central space of the Cloud Reccess. A wide open area surrounded by some of the most important buildings, and therefore the ones most in need of protection. Deciding to try the ward in the most central location. They ordered all disciples out of the area, and made their way to the middle of the square. They had theoretically worked out how the ward would work, however this was the first time in practice so they wanted no one in harms way if it went wrong.
Slowly the two held up their hands Lan Zhan's left to Wei Ying's right, palm to palm. Then held up their other hand to shoulder height. Power flowed from both of them, to those who could see such things it seemed like one side of the was being made of blue light and the other black darkness. Neither man spoke as the power flowed, the spectators watching them from a distance began to wonder what would be so special about this ward. Yes both Lan Zhan and Wei Ying were powerful so it would be incredibly strong but other than that so far it seemed like on man was simply warding one side and one the other. People started looking at each other as if trying to work out what the next step would be.
Inside the ward though Wei Ying and Lan Zhan moved their inside hands, breaking off the palm to palm contact. Neither spoke or looked at the other as the stepped one step closer together before resting their palms again, this time though it was where a cultivator had his golden core. The place of the bond if one was lucky enough to find that soul partner. Just as the eyebrows of the audience began to raise once again in confusion the power from the two men changed. Lan Zhan's power darkened while Wei Ying's seemed to lighten. Soon both men were giving off the same hue of power into the rapidly building and strengthening ward.
The onlookers were astonished. No one had ever seen the mixing of two powers, let along two people channelling two powers at the same time. Such a thing would mean that the ward wouldn't be just a mix of the two powers strengthening each other, it would literately be a meld of the two. Impossible to find where one ended and the other began. As both men lowered their hands and looked a little tiredly at each other, but with happiness in their eyes, the onlookers present still looked back with state of shock and awe about what they had just experienced. Every time they thought these two do anything more impossible, they found a way to prove everyone wrong.
