226: 5.36 Say It Again [M]

5.36 Say It Again [M]

Terra closed the website two hours later, red-faced and slightly lightheaded. The obscene images and sounds were burned into the back of his eyelids and every time when it got to the steamy point, he had to pause a few minutes so as to let his bodily reaction calm down before continuing. He staggered toward the door, breathless even though it was unclear whether it was due to the porn he had just watched or because of the lack of sleep.2

At first, Terra tried to knock but after not receiving any answer, he recalled Doctor Wyatt saying the room was soundproof. Silently heaving a sigh, Terra mustered his not so large courage and slid the door open carefully.

It was a spacious room without a window and the light was dimmed to its maximum enough for Terra to discern the single king size bed in the middle of the room. He gingerly stepped in and closed the door behind him, willing his thundering heartbeat to calm down. His eyes instantly adjusted to the dark and his attention was quickly drawn to the figure atop of the bed.

Lu Yizhou was sleeping soundly, his breathing deep and long. 

The realization caused Terra's knees to weaken and he had to lean against the door for a few minutes to regain his strength, taking in large gulps of air. Relief and disappointment clashed inside him, unable to outwin each other. In the end, the urge to see Lu Yizhou closer and confirm that he was fine overpowered everything and before Terra knew it, he had crossed the room and stood by the bed, his toes curling against the soft, fluffy rug.

Beautiful, he breathed. Terra had no idea when he would be able to wake up one day and not be startled by the sentinel's ethereal features. He looked much softer when sleeping, devoid of the sharp gaze and the perpetual frown between his brows. His hair splayed spread across the pillow, the jet black color contrasting to the white sheet. Terra's heart ached when he saw the cut across his cheek, it didn't diminish his beauty of course, but Terra still felt white fury coursed through him whenever he was reminded of the blood Lu Yizhou had spilled.

It was so rare for Terra to see him sleeping because every single time, Lu Yizhou would always be the one who roused first. It made him wonder whether the man had gotten enough sleep. Terra found out on one rare occasion where he couldn't fall asleep and simply lay in the sentinel's embrace that Lu Yizhou didn't sleep much later after he did. He simply wasted the time drawing circles on Terra's back, stroking his hair, pressing soft kisses on his temple once in a while. Honestly, everything Lu Yizhou did was going to make Terra melt into a pile of goo.

Indulging himself in taking in the man's features as long as he could, Terra finally averted his gaze away and he almost choked on his breath when he belatedly realized that the man was bare on top! Of course, of course he would be naked. Doctor Wyatt had already told him about that. Nevertheless, the thought that Lu Yizhou's nudity was only covered by a thin sheet of silk blanket was enough to make the blood rush to Terra's head, making him even dizzier.

The silk blanket was pulled over to his neck, presumably to chase off the cold air, and from Terra's position, he could catch a glimpse of sharp collarbones and the broad muscles of his shoulders.

It reminded him of the video he watched earlier; of the man on top, the one whose figure was much larger and broader than his partner. The muscles on his back and shoulders rippled seductively along with his undulating movement as he thrust into his partner's body. Terra couldn't help but imagine Lu Yizhou and himself in their place. Would Lu Yizhou's frame also engulf him completely like that? Did the sweat that run down his skin also glowed in such a tantalizing way that made Terra's throat run dry? More importantly, did he have dimples right on the base of his spine? Oh goodness, back dimples. Terra sucked in a breath. He would very much like to dip his tongue on it— and fuck, Lu Yizhou's ass. From what he had seen in everyday life, Lu Yizhou had one hell of a juicy and tight ass. Terra's fingers twitched by his side. Now that the idea had gotten into the forefront of his mind, he was unable to get it away anymore.

Perhaps Terra's stare had been too searing and intense, Lu Yizhou's brows shifted and his eyelids fluttered open. Terra subconsciously held his breath as those silver eyes made their appearance. Terra took his words back; as much as he loved watching Lu Yizhou sleep, there was nothing more delightful than having those mesmerizing silver eyes on him. So vivid, piercing and powerful. Terra's heart still skipped a beat when those eyes found him, blinked in recognition and then crinkled into the quiet smiles that the sentinel only showed in front of him. "Terra…"

Terra clenched his fists so as to refrain himself from reaching out to trace his right eye. He had known that Lu Yizhou's right eye was damaged from the bombing incident and he had also seen it through Blackie's vision. Nevertheless, every single injury on the sentinel's body cut through him so deep as if he was going through it himself. 

Terra forced his throat to work, still not used to voicing himself out loud. "Are you okay…?" His voice sounded weird and loud in the quiet space and he found himself grimacing.

"Of course." Lu Yizhou let out a faint groan as he propped himself up. The silk blanket slid down his body and oh— Terra finally saw that glorious eight pack abdominal muscle in person after having dreamed of touching and licking it in his filthiest dreams. Lu Yizhou looked even more like a pornstar than those people whom Terra had just seen earlier, with the blanket pooled low on his waist, a few old scars running across the smooth expanse of honey bronze skin, and lastly the happy trail leading from his navel to the place southward. His hair was sexily mussed, dark nipples pebbled from the cold air. Terra's mouth watered at the sight and there it was— the familiar heat building low on his stomach. Somehow, the scene seemed familiar. The dim light, Lu Yizhou naked on the bed, the room with only the two of them…

He squirmed, desperately wishing that his erection didn't show on the nightgown. He stole a discreet glance down and paled. There was already a bulge forming on the smooth surface, so obvious that only a blind could miss it. 

Fortunately, Lu Yizhou was still adapting to his touch-sense that he didn't notice the abrupt change in Terra's expression. There was a strain on his lips as he reached for the glass on the nightstand beside the bed and before Terra realized what he was doing, he already grabbed the glass and offered it to the man, receiving a faint smile in return. 

As Lu Yizhou sipped on the water, his gaze raked all over Terra's body, causing goosebumps to flare along the guide's arms. He lowered his eyes and focused on the rug beneath his feet, too shy to meet Lu Yizhou's eyes that seemed to strip him naked. The gaze grew more intense after Terra took the glass away and he could feel sweat forming on his back even though the air-con was blazing cold air in full blast.

"Terra…" Lu Yizhou started, his voice low and Terra had to fight off a shudder at the sound. "What are you wearing?"

Terra fisted the hem of the gown, so nervous that his ears started ringing. "Doctor Wyatt said that you're still too sensitive so… the union…" He mumbled, voice growing smaller and smaller by each second. How could it be so difficult to word what he was coming here to do?!

"The union?" Darkness flashed in Lu Yizhou's eyes and Terra's gut twisted. "Doctor Wyatt forced you to wear this?"

Oh. 

Oh, his sentinel was seething. Terra could vividly feel the anger that radiated off him. He knew it wasn't directed toward him but still, he had the urge to nose along Lu Yizhou's throat and purred to appease the man's anger. "No," he said in a voice firmer than what he felt. He braced himself and stared straight into the man's eyes to convey his sincerity. "I choose to do this. I choose to be with you."

There was silence as Lu Yizhou sought his eyes, searching for a hint of a lie. Terra forced himself not to roll his eyes. Ridiculous, as if there was another choice Terra would take other than to be with him. What Lu Yizhou found there must have placated him because his shoulders relaxed visibly and mirth danced across his eyes. "So you've come here, wearing that to be my bride?"

Terra sputtered. "Lu Yizhou…!" W—What the hell was he talking about? Bride? Lu Yizhou's bride?! The mere notion blasted the fire shimmering inside him and he could feel the tip of his erection oozing with viscous liquid. Terra gritted his teeth, so mortified that he wished the ground would open up and swallow him whole. 

He was even more flustered when Lu Yizhou's breath hitched lightly as he sniffed the air, clearly taking in the scent of Terra's arousal. The heavy gaze returned, even more intense than before and his eyes seemed to blaze, so bright and dazzling like molten mercury. "Say it again." He commanded in a tone that left no room for rebuttal.

Terra snuck a glance over his eyelashes. It came out more like a shaky exhale. "Lu Yizhou…"

They had never properly discussed what had happened and how Terra could gain these sets of memories. It was a bizarre phenomenon and Terra should ask many questions about it but honestly, nothing was more important than knowing that the figures who appeared in his dreams, the different men, different appearances… all of them were his beloved. Lu Yizhou, his one and only. 

"Lu Yizhou." He called out again, nothing more than a soft whisper. Testing the name on his tongue and feeling it roll off smoothly, just like how he had expected it to be.

Lu Yizhou's gaze was burning now; searing. He stretched out a hand and Terra closed in like a moth drawn to a flame. However, before he could place his palm on it, he hesitated. Would he hurt Lu Yizhou like this? 

"Come here, sweetheart." There was actually a hint of desperation in Lu Yizhou's tone, and that was the last push Terra needed to accept the man's palm and let himself be pulled forward onto the bed. 

Terra was mindful not to touch a large expanse of skin at once like how the video had advised him to, but Lu Yizhou seemed displeased with the small distance between them. He wrapped his arm around Terra's waist and Terra felt himself being spun around and he stumbled until he fell right onto Lu Yizhou's chest. Both of them gasped at the same time. Terra, from surprise at how boiling Lu Yizhou's skin was and Lu Yizhou, from pain.

Terra panicked, trying to push himself off. "Lu Yizhou—"

"Sssh." He hushed softly, his grip on Terra's waist tightened. "It's okay, let me get used to it for a while. I want to touch you." How could Terra refuse when he said it like that? Helplessly, he held himself still until Lu Yizhou's breath evened out and his heartbeat slowed down. A chuckle sounded right by Terra's ear. "You look very good, Terra, even though I hate that I am not the one who bought you the dress."

Just when Terra thought his heart wouldn't be able to beat faster than this, Lu Yizhou tucked his chin on his shoulder, lips brushing lightly against the shell of his ear. "Have I told you how much I like your voice? No? My apologies." His broad palm splayed across Terra's flat stomach, pinky finger so dangerously close to the swell of his erection. He knew, Terra thought in mortification, he must have known. Otherwise there was no way Lu Yizhou would be teasing him like this. "Your voice is very beautiful, Terra. Let me hear it more." He glided his hand down, directly palming on Terra's already painful erection.

Terra couldn't help it. He shivered and his lips parted into a breathy moan. The sound echoed in the room and bounced off the walls.
