Free Web NovelChapter 219: Chapter 219: When Longing Finally Breaks Restraint
Yue Yue felt the warmth of his body and the sincerity in his voice. She relaxed, leaning her head against his shoulder and snuggling into his chest. freewebnøvel.com
"When will our cub be back?" she whispered. "Han Soi... I miss him."
When Han Soi had been desperately searching the universe for Yue Yue, he had no choice but to leave the cub with his own father.
Although Han Soi was not fond of his father’s obsession with the cubs, he knew the old man would protect the little winged serpent with his life.
Han Soi pressed a gentle kiss to her temple.
"Little Han will arrive soon to meet you," he whispered. "Do not worry. He will be so happy to find out he is going to have a little brother or sister."
Beside them, Cang Yuze sat in stunned silence.
The news of the pregnancy had been a shock, but hearing that Yue Yue already had a cub with Han Soi felt like a physical blow to his chest.
Even though he had prepared himself for the fact that she was a precious female with other partners, a sharp, bitter feeling flared in his heart.
He had found her so late. He had already missed the chance to be her first beast husband. He had missed the birth of her first child.
But as he watched Yue Yue leaning into Han Soi, looking safe and loved, he forced the bitterness down. He took a deep breath, calming the beast pacing in his chest.
He could not afford to be greedy. He had to thank the Beast God that he had at least found her at all.
Whether he was the first or the last did not matter as much as the fact that he was finally by her side.
"I will prepare the best prenatal tonics the Sea Empire has to offer," Cang Yuze said, his voice regaining its calm, though his eyes remained fixed on her. "Since the ingredients here are pollution free, they will be perfect for the babies’ development."
Yue Yue looked at him and gave a small, appreciative smile.
Han Soi looked down at Yue Yue as she snuggled against him. It had been an entire month since she was kidnapped.
For many long days, he had lived in a nightmare, fueled only by the desperate need to find her and the cold fear that he might be too late.
Even after they reunited, there were always others around, or dangers to face, or wounds to heal.
They had not been truly alone for a single second.
Looking at her soft lips and the gentle curve of her face, Han Soi reached the limit of his patience. Suddenly he did not think that he could hold his calm facade any longer.
He could not stop himself anymore. His large hand moved from her waist to her jaw, his thumb tracing her lower lip before he firmly lifted her chin.
He leaned down and captured her lips in a deep, passionate kiss. He tasted her sweetness, his tongue tracing her lips as if trying to memorize her flavor all over again.
Yue Yue gasped softly into his mouth, her hands instinctively clutching his shirt. The heat from his body radiated through her, making her feel small but entirely cherished.
Han Soi groaned low in his throat, a sound of pure relief and longing. He wanted to pull her even closer, to merge their souls so she could never be taken from him again.
In this moment, he did not care about the politics of the Empire, the poison in Xing Luoye’s body, or the other men vying for her attention. He only cared about the woman in his arms.
Cang Yuze, who was still sitting just a few feet away, felt his breath hitch. He did not look away, but his grip on the table tightened until his knuckles turned white.
Watching the woman he had searched for so desperately be kissed so passionately by another man was like a blade to his heart.
Yet, he did not interfere. He knew Han Soi had earned this moment through the blood and sweat of the search.
After a long, breathless minute, Han Soi slowly pulled back, though he kept his forehead pressed against hers. His breathing was heavy, and his eyes were dark with love and raw desire.
"I missed you so much," he rasped, his voice vibrating against her skin. "I thought I would go mad without you."
Yue Yue’s face was flushed, her eyes misty as she looked up at the fierce warrior, who was currently trembling with emotion.
"I am here now," she whispered, reaching up to touch his cheek. "I am not going anywhere."
With her sweet words, the atmosphere inside the room immediately shifted.
Cang Yuze found his patience snapping at the gentleness of her voice. Watching Han Soi hold her was one thing, but the raw intimacy of their reunion ignited a fire in his own chest that he could no longer suppress.
He did not stay on the sidelines any longer. Moving closer, he leaned down and pressed a lingering, fervent kiss against Yue Yue’s bare shoulder. His lips were cool against her heated skin, but the intent behind them was scorching. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Before Yue Yue could even catch her breath from Han Soi’s embrace, Cang Yuze reached out, his long fingers threading through her hair to tilt her head toward him. He captured her lips in a fiery, demanding kiss that tasted of deep sea salt and months of unspoken longing, or maybe a lifetime of longing.
Beside her, Han Soi did not pull away. Instead, he shifted, burying his face into the crook of her neck. He inhaled her sweet, milky scent deeply, his strong arms tightening around her waist as if anchoring her to himself.
Cang Yuze was not a fool. He was far more understanding than the hotheaded priest.
He knew the reality of their world perfectly well: a female as rare and precious as Yue Yue, especially one with an S+++ ranking, would always attract the most powerful males in the galaxy. He could not hoard her for himself, and he did not want to lose her by trying. He was simply grateful to have carved out a place in her heart.
The two men, who had been strangers only hours ago, began to move with a strange, silent coordination. While Han Soi peppered her neck and collarbone with hot, stinging kisses, Cang Yuze continued to dominate her mouth, his tongue tangling with hers in a way that left her head spinning.
Yue Yue’s breath came in short, jagged gasps. She felt overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of their dual attention.
One was fire, the other was a deep, crushing ocean tide. They moved around her so seamlessly that she found herself doubting they had just met; it felt as if they had practiced this synchronized worship of her for years.
Her body felt heavy and achingly sensitive under their touch. Her eyes fluttered shut, her fingers curling into Han Soi’s shirt while her other hand reached up to grip Cang Yuze’s silken robes.
In the quiet of the dining room, the only sounds were the soft, wet noises of their kisses and Yue Yue’s helpless whimpers.
For a moment, the world outside, the poison, the temple, and the angry males in the hallway simply ceased to exist.
Until the door to the dining hall swung open with a thud.
