A/N: With Halloween around the corner it's basically mandatory for me to write some Hu Tao smut; she's too charming not to lewd. Frankly the fact I've not written more smut of her is something I should go about fixing...

That said, I do hope you enjoy~

Spooky Season

Aether often kept in touch with his friends via letter.

It was a bit awkward at times since it took a while for letters to go places, but between his speedy delivery method known as teleporting and him having all mail sent to his Teapot while he was away, he was able to cut the time down to a day or two at most. Be it Nilou telling him about her dances to Kaeya asking for help with some task or other, to Arlecchino inviting him to a cook-out that he was required to be at lest he disappoint Lynette.

Naturally he was there first thing every time. He'd much rather not be on the hit-list of a Fatui Harbinger, thank you very much.

Regardless he kept in close touch with his friends both near and far – and, as such, he wasn't surprised when he received a letter from Hu Tao. The cute and charming funeral parlour director that had a penchant for pranks that did little to dispel her endearing qualities. The contents of her letter were fairly normal; asking how he'd been, stuff she'd been doing, some funny little anecdotes about Zhongli forgetting that money was a thing he needed – how silly of him – but then, near the end, laid a request.

[You remember that forest just to the north of Liyue? I need you to go there and wait for me on the 12th, around seven o'clock. Be there or be square~]

The letter dallied on a bit more before closing with a cutely-drawn Hu Tao chibi snickering at him, her skill with a quill always impressive to see. That aside though her request piqued his attention – as far as he knew the forested area she had mentioned was mostly abandoned woodland, with no homes nor real encampments. Though now that he put thought into it, he supposed that would make it the perfect place for Hilichurl to begin building their own base, so maybe that was why she asked for his help.

That was how Aether found himself approaching the aforementioned woods.

Though they weren't how he remembered them.

''U-Ueh... Paimon is scared...!''

Aether murmured out a small comfort, hand reaching back to pet Paimon even as he strolled forth along the dirt path that led into the forest proper. Trees stood in silence, only a lonely wind weaving past the dark trunks – no leaves left on the trees to rustle or break up the quiet. Made barren by autumn they stood silently, branches exposed and skeletal as they reached up into the night sky. What little of it could be seen, anyway.

For a thick fog had fallen upon the area. Thin at first but the longer he walked the more limited visibility became; the sky soon completely obscured by the white veil and the route back made clear only by the dirt path guiding him. The trees offered no guidance which way was which, standing in silent formation with only the gloomy howl of winds to break up the stillness, albeit with limited success.

Aether swallowed. This was creepy. His nerves, honed in battle, frayed and he had to fight the urge to draw his sword and prepare for an ambush. Paimon though couldn't handle it anymore and wailed right before vanishing into her pocket space, her wail echoing off of the distant mountains and forming a hollow lilt left to faintly tickle his ears.

''Thanks for leaving me alone...'' Aether grumbled, if only to break up the quiet.

It alleviated his unease only mildly. Still he marched on, trusting that Hu Tao had called him here for a reason – or maybe she was caught up in this too? The thought made him pause as worry overcame him, suddenly aware of the risk that this fog wasn't planned and had caught her unawares, perhaps in tandem with some unseen Hilichurls... who knows what could've happened in the time it took for him to get here.

Crack!

Aether whirled around, blood pounding in his ears. A distant twig had snapped – but all he saw was fog.

He swallowed, about to speak, but he kept his mouth shut. If it was a Hilichurl or other monster he didn't want to give away his position. Plus it could just be an animal.

Then another snapped twig, off to his right. He pursed his lips, muscles dawn taut, the urge to summon a sword stronger but held back solely by training. Even then it became harder and harder to force down his instincts, his spine tingling as he looked around, feeling unknown eyes on him. Grass rustled and he swore he could hear footsteps but when he turned there was nobody there. Not even the wind blew now.

Aether clenched his fists, inhaling a slow breath-

''BOO!''

''Shit-!'' Aether stumbled and fell over, disbelief writ upon his face as laughter, shrill and joyous, reached his ears. ''H-Hu Tao?!''

The aforementioned funeral director stood before him, arms around her stomach as she laughed freely – one hand hurriedly coming to her eye to wipe away a tear. ''Hehehe! You should've seen your face!''

Aether blushed and scowled, sitting up. ''Was that you that did all that?''

Still giggling Hu Tao could only nod, needing another few long moments to catch her breath before she could speak. ''Yep! A few rocks, some sneaky pathing and you probably thought it was several people, right?''

''Thought it was Hilichurls at first.'' Aether grumbled, palming at his chest as his heart pounded.

Hu Tao's hand offered itself to him and, after a second to glare he accepted it and let her pull him to his feet. ''Did you ask me here just to scare me?''

''Honestly? That was a big part of it.'' Hu Tao's grin was unrepentant and cheeky. ''Though, not the only reason. You can relax though, I already chased off any mean Hilichurls before you came here.''

Aether grumbled some choice words about dangerous pranks but forced himself to relax all the same. ''And that other reason is...?''

''To see you.'' The genuine merriment to her voice made him flush a little. ''It's been ages since we last hung out, and back then Yanfei got into some trouble so we had to help out, then Xinyan set fire to the docks so you had to use your new fancy Hydro powers to put them out while I saved all the fishies from being cooked – it's been ages since we've just had each other to ourselves, y'know?''

Aether scratched his cheek. ''I guess you've got a point. Though did you have to invite me to this place?''

''Yep! The weather is actually why I invited you.'' Hu Tao spoke excitedly, not a hint of prank gleamed from her tone. ''Doesn't this kind of atmosphere just make you excited?''

''Eh... more like uneasy.''

''They're one in the same when you think about it.'' Hu Tao deflected, starting to walk and beckoning him to follow. ''Just soak it all in. The chilly night air, the quiet so intense you can hear your own breathing, the way you can't see anything but the ground and the trees – it fells like you're in a whole different dimension!''

''A spooky dimension.'' Aether added.

Hu Tao giggled at that. ''Maybe, but I really like this kind of thing. Maybe it's just because I'm more used to this kind of thing but it's always so... thrilling. Zhongli told me it was because of 'primal instincts' that make humans wary about being out in the wilds alone, since we're obviously better in groups, but that kinda fear just livens up a night y'know?''

''I'm starting to think you're just an adrenaline junkie.'' Aether jabbed.

''Hey~'' The pout he got in return was cute. ''Hmph. Besides, doesn't this scene look perfect for a game of hide-and-seek?''

''Huh... well, I guess you've got a point there-''

''Great!'' Hu Tao took his right hand in both of hers, squeezing it. ''Then close your eyes and count to ten, then come and find me!''

Aether tried to ignore how slim her hands felt against his own. ''How will I know where the boundaries are though?''

''Easy; the fog doesn't stretch far out of the valley. If you ever leave the fog, then you know you've gone too far. Also if you take too long...'' She grinned cheekily, ''...then I'll be the one to find you~''

''...did you have to make that sound so ominous?''

Hu Tao just replied with a giggle and wink – and with a sigh he closed his eyes. Her hands left his and he could hear her footsteps grow faint even as he began the countdown, ten becoming nine and nine eight – by the time he reached six he could no longer hear her. In fact he couldn't hear anything at all beyond his own breathing, the wind silent for a moment and leaving the whole forest hauntingly still.

''...zero.'' Aether finished and opened his eyes.

The yawning fog greeted him. He felt chills but looked about all the same, doing a slow circle to see if she left any evidence of which direction she took – but alas, no she didn't. Still he at least knew which direction she ran off in and so he made his way further down the path, every soft hiss of his shoe against dirt sounding almost loud against the still night air. Even if he couldn't see the sky though the temperature reminded him of the moon's reign; his arms prickling from the slight chill in the air.

Regardless he marched on... to no avail. The yawning abyss remained, the trees in different positions yet somehow looking all the same, their barren branches refusing to give even a hint of distinction. He strained his hearing too, hoping in the quiet he could at least hear her breathing if he was close enough. Contrary to what Hu Tao might believe he wasn't a novice when it came to hide-and-seek; he did plenty of that back in Mondstadt with Klee. The only difference was that it was done in a busy, well-lit Mondstadt, not a desolate creepy forest.

Just then a branch snapped over to his left. He rushed in that direction quickly but when he neared the origin of the sound he found nothing – just more fog and trees. He cursed, looking about, hoping to see even a speck of Hu Tao peering around a tree only to see nothing. It was as if she had disappeared. He pursed his lips at that, putting his hand on the bark and feeling the cold wood, using it to help orient himself back the way he came.

When a pebble was thrown his way, hitting the bark next to him.

He turned and caught only a glimpse of a shadow vanishing into the fog and he rushed after it, grass loudly crunching under his boots, multiple trees passing him by – until he reached the wall of the valley. Dead end.

He looked about but aside from the valley wall to indicate the border there was nowhere she could hide. Had she ducked to the left or right before he could close the distance? Surely he was just as fast as Hu Tao so it wasn't a case of her outrunning him, and she wasn't like Kazuha who could accelerate his movements with Anemo, so she wasn't using the elements to her advantage here.

Another rock at his feet. He looked up but nobody was there – and then he saw it. Small pebbles that were dribbling down from a higher ledge formed by erosion, falling down... and bouncing off of a jutted out piece of rock, causing them to fly at an angle in the same direction he'd just come from.

She hadn't thrown a rock at him. Nature had.

But then who was the shadow he saw in the fog?

Shivers danced along his skin and he looked about, but no sign of Hu Tao manifested itself. With a gulp he made his way back towards the dirt path but it didn't reveal itself; only more grass, the land rising and lowering in gentle hills that did little to reveal where his original route had been.

Was this what Hu Tao meant that it felt like a different dimension? That your path was obscured the moment you left it, losing you in a maze without any walls?

He heard another swig snap some distance behind him but this time he didn't rush to investigate. Hu Tao was surely moving about to avoid him – and if there was one thing he learned about catching prey, it was chasing them just led to them getting away. No, he had to be a bit more patient than that, even if the atmosphere made him feel flighty and on edge. With that thought in mind he moved further into the forest, grass crunching beneath his feet.

Before he tucked himself behind a tree and waited.

Silence reigned and he lowered himself down into a crouch, making himself as small as possible against the base of the tree. Some acorns laid at the base and he plucked one up and threw it further away, making sure to hit a distant tree – striking true and letting the faint echo carry throughout the woods. Then, he waited.

Seconds ticked by. Maybe even a full minute.

But then he heard the grass gently hiss not far behind him, slowly at first but quickly gaining speed, nearing his position-!

And then Aether jumped out, tackling Hu Tao to the floor.

''Got you!'' Aether grinned.

Hu Tao's expression was startled for all of a second before a laugh leapt from her tongue; her lips widening into a delighted grin. ''Hehe, not bad! Never expected you to bait me like that.''

''What can I say, I like to surprise people.'' Aether fired back.

Hu Tao cooed at that, their breathing both quick but gradually settling as they remained like that. He found himself lost in Hu Tao's unique eyes, the fiery hue entrancing to examine even as she blinked every few moments. Only when the funeral director shifted did he realise he was staring, his cheeks warming up at the revelation – but before he could pull away Hu Tao slipped her hands under his own, her fingers intertwining with his.

''...I really do like this kind of atmosphere, you know.'' Hu Tao said softly, her smile smaller but no less endearing. ''Not many people share the same idea, but... it's nice, isn't it?''

Despite how uneasy it made him feel... he could agree there was something about the spine-chilling air that was intriguing, albeit in a 'don't look behind the curtain' kind of way. ''Yeah. Thanks for showing me this, Hu Tao.''

Hu Tao blushed a deep red, though even then she didn't lose her teasing streak. ''Hehe, you're making my heart beat so quickly when you talk like that~''

''Payback for doing the same to me.'' Aether dared to tease back.

Hu Tao hummed, drawing out the enunciation for a long second before speaking. ''Mm... do you mean right now though, or in general~?''

The comment felt less playful than those prior, a hint of genuine curiosity lilting the director's tone and making Aether pause, his cheeks tinting pink. ''In... general, I guess.''

''Is that so? It makes me happy to hear that.'' Her tone was softer, more warm. Her cheeks were dusted pink too he noted and in the gloom it felt all the more visible, as did the fiery hue of her eyes.

Her lips pursed then, drawing his gaze to them, and he was suddenly conscious of how close they were – how his arms had bent slightly and brought them closer together. Yet Hu Tao didn't seem to mind, her face warm but a tenderness to her gaze that was so rarely seen beneath her cheeky exterior – a warmth that was perhaps what granted her her Pyro affinity. For beneath Hu Tao's guises and quirks laid a very sweet, caring girl who just wanted to soothe others and make them forget their woes.

''Hu Tao, I...''

Unseen by either Hu Tao's ghost emerged from behind the pair, a merry smile on its face – right before it pushed Aether down.

Allowing his lips to meet Hu Tao's own.

It was a clumsy first kiss, startled if anything and they pulled away just as quick – scarlet hues quick to colour their cheeks as they stared at one another in embarrassment, neither so much as reacting to the ghost that cheerily waved and zipped under Hu Tao's hat, disappearing from the material realm once more.

No words passed between them, time seeming to freeze – until Hu Tao broke the stalemate with a soft, embarrassed giggle. Aether flushed but his embarrassment waned as she cupped his cheeks, her gaze regaining its warmth as she tugged him down – and once more their lips connected, this time in a much slower, more natural kiss. Like puzzle pieces their lips fit together perfectly, the gentle smooch drawing a muted hum out of Hu Tao herself, her hands leaving his cheeks to wind her arms around his nape instead, pulling him atop her more.

Aether was the first to pull back, a breath refilling his lungs – but just as quick their lips met again. The director giggled openly this time and her thighs rode up his hips, one leg wrapping partway around his as she held him in close, their tentative kisses quickly becoming a bit more excited, more enthralled. No words passed between them but each kiss conveyed the excitement both felt; the relief and the embarrassment, the happiness and the longing, all of which just grew stronger with every shared kiss.

Until eventually they both broke apart again, their panting filling the otherwise still air – and allowing Hu Tao to giggle. ''I've always wanted to do that with you.''

''Really?''

''Yep~'' Though her chirp was merry the blush on her cheeks didn't fade. ''Didn't expect it to be like this, but... I'm happy I could find someone like you in my life, Aether.''

The sweetness was flustering, the abundant affection in her eyes even moreso – but the yearning in his chest was what made him bring her hand to his cheek, a kiss planted on her knuckles. She giggled at the affectionate act only to squeak as he dove down, a proper kiss briefly connecting their lips. His own though were quick to go for her neck and Hu Tao moaned as his lips touched upon her sensitive flesh – one kiss quickly becoming three as he pecked her jugular, each kiss light but making her shiver with excitement all the same.

''A-Ah, that feels weird~'' Despite her words she giggled, one hand running up his chest. ''Maybe we could haunt this place together? Scare some Treasure Hoarders into thinking the forest is cursed?''

''Don't tempt me.'' Aether chuckled against her flesh.

Hu Tao cooed and held onto his shoulders, nudging him out from her neck-

And then with a cheeky wrap of her legs flipped them over, leaving Aether the one on the grass with Hu Tao straddling him. She caught his shoulders before he could sit up and dove down to his level, her own kiss quicker but no less affectionate, as if the mere act of kissing was so novel she couldn't get enough of it. A sentiment Aether himself shared, a shudder dancing up his spine as he kissed her back – each smooch light but conveying the intimacy both wanted so badly to share with the other.

Just having Hu Tao on his lap though was enough to make his blood rush south, doubly so as the cheeky director pressed herself onto him, her shorts doing little to hide her rather soft thighs. He laid his hands on them and a shiver ached through his loins as she rolled her hips, consciously or not grinding on him. The friction was only slight but it was enough to make him pop a boner. One that Hu Tao felt.

Yet she didn't squeak and get all flustered, didn't call him a perv and scold him.

Instead with rosy cheeks Hu Tao pulled back from the kiss, a little lopsided grin on her lips. ''Hehe, is that a squirrel in your pocket or are you just happy to see me~''

Aether blushed, breathless yet enchanted as Hu Tao sat back upright, one hand on his chest. Her own breathing was quick but that didn't stop her from running her hand down to his crotch, slowing momentarily as if waiting for him to refuse – and when no protests left his lips she unbuckled his belt post-haste. It came undone swiftly and her fingers tugged his zipper down, her nails grazing his groin as they dug into his boxers, pulling them with it.

And freeing his erect cock. Hu Tao made a noise of surprise, her cheekiness briefly overshadowed by embarrassment before the former took hold once more, enabling her to grasp his dick and stroke it. He shivered at how cool her skin felt compared to his cock but didn't protest, the dainty grip arousing and all the more so as Hu Tao grinned at him, her bashfulness far outweighed by her desire to tease him.

''Does it feel good~?'' The funeral director teased as she ran her thumb over his tip, stimulating a groan out of him. ''Hehe, it's so hard already~''

Aether couldn't find the words to reply with, settling for running his hands up her thighs instead. Even though his touch was aimless it made Hu Tao giggle shyly all the same, her gaze softening as she leaned down more to his weight while still stroking his cock – the slow but pleasurable pumps soon joined by a kiss to his lips. One Aether was glad to reciprocate, his hand clutching onto her nape and pulling her deeper into the lip-lock, muffling their mutual groans.

With every passing stroke though Hu Tao got more into the swing of things, her wrist pumping with longer and smoother strokes until she was jerking him off outright – her grip neither too tight nor too loose as she worked his cock. Her fingers shifted and adjusted their grip repeatedly but her tempo rarely slowed for more than a moment, least of all as their lips meshed together in an increasingly-messy kiss, their moans heard only by each other.

Perhaps it was that veil of privacy that dared him to run his hands up her front, fiddling with the buttons of her tailcoat. Hu Tao mewled into the kiss and didn't stop him, her hands too full to help him but not hindering him from opening her top up one button at a time, revealing her creamy flesh of her belly, her ribs, and soon the snug-fitting sarashi around her chest. His thumb tucked under the thin material and caused it to unravel easily, revealing the gentle hill of her breasts for him to grope as best he could – and while Hu Tao was small, she wasn't as flat as her outfit might lead one to believe.

''Nn...'' Aether shuddered as she stroked him off faster – a quick spit lubing her palm too, making a slew of sticky noises as she beat his meat. ''H-Hu Tao...''

A giggle was her only answer, her lips nearing his and ultimately meeting in a kiss – one that did little to hide his groans as she earnestly jerked him off, her motions relentless and making his hips buck up on instinct, thrusting himself into her sticky hand. Pleasure ached up his cock and he found himself panting between kisses, his cock swollen beneath her fingers as she ceaselessly jerked him off, the lurid squelches of her spit adding to the spikes of pleasure rising up through him.

Her thumb only added to the pressure as it rubbed over his tip repeatedly, smearing about the pre-cum that formed and leaving his tip extra sticky for it. If Hu Tao minded though she didn't so much as hint at such, her grin only growing more enthused even as she switched back to jerking him off – the slick, squelching motions of her hand joining his tight groan as he endured the handjob, pressure easily surging up with her motions.

''A-Ah, Hu Tao, that...!'' Aether gasped out.

Hu Tao giggled excitedly and leaned forwards, pushing her tit into his palm. ''Are you almost there? You are aren't you?''

''Maybe...''

If anything his demure admission made her jerk him off faster, her fingers slick with her own saliva s she beat his meat. He gasped and shifted his hands down to her thighs, holding onto them and groaning as she worked the shaft with such dexterity he could hardly think, his mind overwhelmed by the ruthless strokes-!

Until Aether came with a gasp. Cum erupted up from his tip and made Hu Tao squeak – her other hand quick to cover the tip and catching the profuse spurts of semen, the heat of his load making her blush deeply. Yet she didn't stop stroking his cock albeit at a slower pace, working out his orgasm even as his spurts turned to pitiful oozes of seed; something that prompted Hu Tao to merely cup his tip and knead it, incidentally smearing his seed against his cock and sending some of it dribbling down the shaft.

He shuddered powerfully, jolts reverberating across his skin and his breathing equally hitched, but little by little his orgasm waned. Even then he was still so sensitive that a cool breeze was enough to make him throb and groan, his eyes on Hu Tao and Hu Tao alone as the funeral director leaned backwards. Her cum-covered hand was brought to her face and without a hint of shame she dragged her tongue up her palm not once not twice but thrice, licking up every last bit of cum he'd nutted onto her hand.

Only then did her hand fall, her face hot but her grin daringly cheeky, even if her burning cheeks betrayed her embarrassment. Nonetheless without a word Hu Tao leaned further back and hooked her fingers into her shorts, the black material sliding down her thighs and up over her knees, down her shins – and with a tug off they came, left to one side alongside her underwear. Leaving Hu Tao straddling him in naught but her unbuttoned tailcoat.

''Hehe... this is kinda embarrassing.'' She giggled slightly, smiling as she ran her hands over his stomach. ''Can I...?''

''Yeah...'' Breathless Aether could only agree.

Hu Tao beamed at that, leaning down briefly to peck him on the lips and pulling back before he could drag her into something deeper, her excited giggle matched by her motions as she grasped his cock and sat up on her knees. With jittering excitement she brought his tip to rest against her bare lips, so puffy and glistening with her arousal as his tip rubbed between them, the friction only slight but so damn erotic he could only groan. Especially as the director continued moving her hips like that, teasing them both and mewling with him, his tip just-barely grazing he entrance.

''Hu Tao, please...'' He groaned out.

The Pyro user shivered at that, drawing in a breath – and then at last eased herself down. Tightness enveloped his tip and soon the shaft, a pleasure unlike anything he'd felt up until that point assaulting him and depriving him of both reason and words, only a senseless groan escaping his throat. Hu Tao whined with him, her expression tightening only momentarily before pleasure shuddered through her very being, her insides seizing tightly around his manhood as she wedged herself deeper onto it.

Aether grunted at that, his hands running from her thighs to her hips and drawing her eyes onto him. A smile lit up Hu Tao's visage and without a word she slipped her hands down and weaved her fingers between his own, allowing them to hold hands even as he twitched inside of her. She bit her lip at that, looking down for only a second before holding his gaze once more, the unadulterated happiness in her eyes melting his heart.

''Myn~'' Those same eyes screwed shut as she pressed herself down onto him, a moan soon lifting off of her tongue. ''I can feel you twitching inside of me... hehe, I think I like it~''

Aether squeezed her hands in response and the funeral director cooed, her hips rising and lifting herself off of his cock only to impale herself once more, a delighted moan fleeing Hu Tao as she accepted more of him inside. Her bounces were slow but with how sensitive he was every little movement felt heavenly; her insides clenching tightly around his shaft and practically conforming to the shape of it, such was her tight squeezes.

With every roll of her hips Hu Tao got more confident too, her movements gradually quickening until the director was impaling herself onto his cock with moans abound – the hot, whining noises ringing out freely with no fear of being overheard, her voice pitched with embarrassment but made husky with bliss. Aether let out his own grunts, his hands leaving hers to instead grab her lower back, helping yank her down onto his cock.

''Ah! A-Aether~!'' Hu Tao cried out in delight, biting her bottom lip – not that it stopped her subsequent moan from spilling past her lips. ''You're so, ah, deep...!''

As if to confirm that she pressed down one final time, impaling herself as deep as she could – her moan quaking into a whine as he throbbed up against her innermost parts. Aether groaned with her and bucked his hips, jolting Hu Tao up until she wedged herself back down, her breathing hastening as she matched his tempo – her movements gaining a haste that hadn't been there before. He felt that same haste ache through him, grunts bubbling up his throat even as he bucked his hips, thrusting up into the Pyro user and feeling her clench tightly around him, the unyielding grip of her pussy threatening to make him bust.

A desire Hu Tao seemed to crave. Moans freely spilled from her lips as she bounced onto him, their flesh meeting with smacks and slaps as his tip kissed her innermost parts – the slick, sticky friction only amplifying how good it felt to be inside of her. He dug his fingers into her narrow hips and pulled her down, moans becoming gasps as he felt her tighten around him, his stamina rapidly thinning as he was sheathed inside of her wetness.

''Hu Tao-!''

''S-Same~!'' She groaned out, her breathing quick and ragged. ''Inside, you can, inside...!''

Her voice tapered off and his own breath caught in his throat, pleasure a violent force that surged up his shaft-!

And he peaked, cumming inside of Hu Tao. The director wailed and furiously grinded herself down onto his cock, jerking her head back even as she pushed herself forth – clumsily grinding herself onto his throbbing cock as spurt after spurt of semen poured into her depths. He couldn't hope to control his climax only experience it – the rush, the tight heat, the relief of filling her up. A dizzying mess that left him helplessly holding onto Hu Tao as he rode out his high, her clenching depths wringing him for all of his seed.

Until at last his orgasm came to a close. Hu Tao mewled and lifted herself off of his dick but didn't move far; simply sitting on his lap panting as she caught her breath, her winded state doing wonders to emphasise her small bust. Dimly he caressed her left breast, squeezing what little he could and eliciting a giggle from Hu Tao herself, her hand catching his and bringing it to her face, allowing her to nuzzle it affectionately.

Which was when he caught her lower back in his other hand – and flipped them over.

''Eep-!'' Hu Tao squeaked out, startled as she once more found herself under him. ''Aha... probably should've expected that.''

''You definitely should've.'' Aether grinned.

Right before he kissed her. Hu Tao mewled into it, arms winding around him even as he pressed himself against her, his still-erect cock grinding against her honeyed lips until Hu Tao grasped it, helpfully guiding his tip down to her wet, creamed entrance – and as one they moaned as he pushed back into her.

With how wet she was he didn't bother taking it slow, a few good pumps helping him get used to the position before he was actively rutting himself into his lover – opening her up with every thrust and fucking moans of delight out of Hu Tao herself. She clutched onto the back of his top and he buried his face in her hair, knocking her hat off in the process as he pistoned between her nether lips; groans easily forced out of him as he felt her tight pussy strangle him.

''Ah~! Mm! Yeah~! R-Right there~!'' Hu Tao vocalised freely, her expression pinching as he hit a sweet spot.

Enticing Aether to aim for it as best he could, grunts bubbling up his throat as he stuffed himself inside – some thrusts long and others short but ultimately fucking all sorts of gasps and cries out of his lover. Noises that became muffled as their lips connected in a messy but intimate kiss, their moans shared between only them as he fucked her, the lurid squelch of their union filling the quiet forest air.

Any inhibitions were long gone though, doubly so as Hu Tao wrapped her legs around him and leg-locked him. It forced his thrusts to be shorter but in that moment he hardly cared, only a groan of need escaping Aether as he rutted into his lover; stuffing her to the brim with every harsh buck and fucking squeals out of Hu Tao that he knew he'd be remembering for weeks to come. Maybe longer if they did this again soon.

Such thoughts were chased from his mind though as she pulled him down into another kiss, their lips sealing together passionately. Even then her needy grunts and yips of pleasure could still be heard, his thrusts slowing only until they broke off the kiss – and without missing a beat he went right back to pounding her at full speed. The sound of their bodies smashing together echoed and Hu Tao's cry of delight soon joined it, her insides seizing around his length as he hilted it in her, every thrust more challenging than the last as fiery need rushed up his shaft, the urge to empty his balls inside of her only growing more tempting by the second.

''Ah! Yes, yes...!'' Hu Tao cried, clutching onto his sides. ''A-Almost... ah, a-ah...!''

Her voice wavered as he sped up, pounding Hu Tao with every ounce of stamina he had-!

And then she came, squealing and cumming on his cock – and with a harsh shout he slammed in deep and filled her with his seed once more. He pressed himself into her, pinning his lover to the grass as he shot untold amounts of seed inside of her; spurt after spurt of it painting her clenching walls and filling her womb, the messy creampie only made more so as her thighs rode up his hips and her nectar soaked his groin.

Gasping in breaths Aether grinded himself into her, dragging the moment out for as long as he could before finally relaxing. Though panting his breathing eased a bit and he ultimately pulled out of his lover – eliciting an endearing moan from Hu Tao herself as he left her empty, her quivering lips not stopping the deluge of milky seed he'd just pumped into her from leaking out, dribbling down her butt and staining the grass.

''Mm... hehe...'' Hu Tao giggled suddenly, smiling as she looked up at him. ''That was intense, huh?''

''You can say that again.'' Instinct immediately made him cover her mouth. ''Don't.''

Hu Tao pouted but didn't repeat herself, though her grin was quick to come back. ''We should do this again sometime?''

''Definitely.'' Shifting onto his side he laid with Hu Tao and kissed her cheek, blushing when she immediately kissed him back. ''Hey, by the way...''

''Hm?''

''Did you happen to run away from me when I was chasing you? Near the cliff?''

''No?'' Hu Tao looked as confused as he felt. ''I was watching you from behind a tree or two, but you never chased me.''

''Strange... swore I saw a shadow in the fog at one point...''

''Hehe, sure you did~ Though... maybe we should head back now. Just in case, y'know!''

''Good idea, it's late anyway...''

Thus with a bit of extra haste the new couple redressed and fled the area, worries of an actual phantom hurrying them along.

[END]
