628: 10.23 Let Me In

10.23 Let Me In

Lu Yizhou knew that the concept of 'love' would be too abstract for the youth. However, there was no way he would not recognize 'desire'. As such, he boldly confessed, "Because I want you." Disregarding the obvious shock in the other's features, Lu Yizhou grasped a lock of silken hair and brought it to his lips. "I want you. Your body, your heart, your soul — everything."0

It took Pandora a few moments to choke out, "Then the reason why you intervene back in the tailor room—"

"I don't want him to talk to you." He stared intensely into those mesmerizing golden eyes which had seen through the vicissitudes of life yet still sparkling with pure innocence at the same time. It was slowly driving him crazy how much he wanted to taint this innocence with his own color. "I don't like the way he looks at you. I don't like how close he is to you. Am I that hard to understand?"

Pandora was still staring at him in shock and bafflement. His lips opened and closed, yet nothing came out even after a while. This had gone completely out of his control. He had no idea how to respond to such a passionate declaration…

Then, Lu Yizhou smiled, not the gentle and affectionate smile he had always shown, but a dark and bewitching one, almost like a devil who had locked in on his prey. The effect on Pandora was spontaneous, his mind went utterly blank and he could do nothing but sway into Lu Yizhou's arms. The heat of Lu Yizhou around him was all-encompassing, unrestrained and oppressive, thawing the coldness deep inside his soul and igniting a blazing fire he had never known existed before.

Lu Yizhou was immensely pleased to see that only his figure reflected in Pandora's eyes. He did not know that he could be so possessive before. Perhaps it was his lover who rubbed off on him, or perhaps… the awareness that this would be his last simulation; his last 'firsts' with his lover that caused him to be more enthusiastic and reckless. He only knew that… he wanted to love the person in his arms to death. Damn it! He would not stop until Pandora knew the extent of his desire for him!

"Answer me," he leaned in further until their lips barely touched each other, their breath intermingling with each other. "Do you understand me, Pandora?"

Pandora swallowed audibly and his breathing turned uneven. He could not think, not when Lu Yizhou was in such a close reach, not when Lu Yizhou was staring at him with those piercing eyes of his. Pandora felt panic building in his chest as seconds ticked by. W–What was he supposed to say?!

"If you don't answer, then I will take it as a yes."

Even before the last word could truly form in the air, Lu Yizhou closed the distance between them and captured Pandora's lips gently. The youth let out a sharp gasp and his arms reflexively braced against Lu Yizhou's shoulders, trying to push him away. No! He did not like this feeling of being out of control, it made him feel unhinged, like he was going to shatter into pieces. He wanted to… escape!

However, Lu Yizhou did not budge. At all. Still with their lips pressed together, he whispered a quiet yet oppressive plea, "Don't reject me, sweetheart. Relax and let me in. I will show you… that there's nothing to be afraid of."

Afraid? Was he afraid? Pandora was taken aback. How could he be afraid of… of this? Of this human?! He just… had no idea what to do!

Lu Yizhou's hand slid to the back of Pandora's head, holding the youth steady as he tilted his head and added a little force to the kiss. It was still a little peck, gentle and teasing, trying to get Pandora accustomed to his touches. 

Pandora's fists were bunching on Lu Yizhou's shirt, his shoulders tensed as if in preparation to fight. However, this person was really too warm. Being held like this felt too… good and comfortable, as if he was submerged in a pool of warm water. Lu Yizhou's touch sparkled tingles on Pandora's lips that he would not know was even possible. His mind was strangely empty as all he could focus on was Lu Yizhou. His mouth was full of Lu Yizhou's taste and his eyes were filled with Lu Yizhou's gorgeous face. Pandora could not help but fall into a daze. It might be his preconception, but he felt as if his fur was being stroked with each kiss Lu Yizhou gave. It was so soothing that he unknowingly relaxed and his eyelids fluttered shut.

Kissing… was unexpectedly not too bad.

Yet as soon as that thought entered his mind, a warm and moist sensation licked his bottom lip.

"...Mn??!!" Pandora's eyes snapped open again. He tried to push Lu Yizhou away to no avail. Once again, the soft and moist thing swept his lips, leaving a trail of glistening saliva on the surface. Pandora's fur almost exploded when he realized what it was. T–This is also a kiss?!

"Shh…" Lu Yizhou hushed him softly and rubbed his back in an attempt to comfort. He gave him a few more soft kisses that left Pandora feeling weak and light-headed. "It's okay, sweetheart. Let me in. I promise… it will be good. Very good…" 

Before Pandora could react, that warm and moist thing once again rubbed his lips. However, this time, it teased the seam of his lips, patiently coaxing him to open up, stripping his defenses one by one until he had no choice but to surrender. Gasping, he tipped his head back and gave entry to the imperious tongue. 

As if Lu Yizhou had been waiting for this moment, he instantly swooped in and sealed their lips together. He slid his tongue deep into Pandora's mouth, licking and sucking as if he wanted to plunder everything away. Pandora let out a strangled moan from his throat as he gasped shakily for air, and Lu Yizhou responded with his own deep groan. His arms around Pandora tightened impossibly more, almost melding their bodies and bones together into one.

"W–Wa… Wait…" Pandora began to feel a strange heat pooling under his belly, one that made his toes curl up in anticipation. Shivers wrecked his whole body and his nerves buzzed like a live wire. He could not help but squeeze his legs together in an attempt to alleviate the aching hollowness.

He tried to push the insolent tongue out of his mouth, yet it only caused their tongues to entangle with each other even more intimately. No! He had to stop! He had to stop this… or else…

Pandora's eyes slowly blurred and his chest squeezed painfully due to the lack of oxygen. Another moan escaped from his gasping lips, one that sounded much more coy and kittenish than he'd anticipated, and his cheeks flushed at how promiscuous it was. 

There was nothing soft and comfortable about this kiss at all, unlike the gentle pecks Lu Yizhou gave earlier. This deep toe-curling kiss made Pandora feel as if his nerves were going to burst out from under his skin. This was devouring, truly shedding all pretenses and finally gave Pandora a real insight on the beast hiding underneath this man's affectionate smile.

Dangerous, his mind thought fuzzily. Dangerously seductive. 

It made Pandora itch to tame him and… keep him all to himself…

Lu Yizhou finally eased back a bit, allowing him to take in huge gulps of air. Even then, his heart was still thundering inside his ribcage and his entire body was twitching as if he had been electrocuted. His golden eyes were misty and dewy, brimming with unshed tears. He could not calm down at all…

"How is it?" Lu Yizhou let out a hoarse chuckle as he asked in a bewitching tone. "It feels good, isn't it?"
