Past

YiJun sighs, "If I kiss you now, I will end up hurting you. Xian, your blood is driving me insane. I can't- I don't think I can stop if I start." He bangs his hand on the wall in frustration. "Damn it."

The knife in Xian's hand falls to the floor, making YiJun turn towards him. His brows knit when he sees the tears in the younger boy's eyes, "What happened?" He asks, walking closer once more.

Xian doesn't speak. He covers them remaining distance and throws his arms around YiJun. He buries his face in the older boy's neck, "Don't stop yourself. Make me yours completely. I am free, Jun. We are free." He gushes.

"What did you say?" YiJun asks, looking into Xian's eyes.

"When the white lotus glowed, the spell ended..." Xian says, slowly cupping the prince's face. Heat rises to his cheeks, and he turns away, feeling shy and nervous.

A second later, he feels YiJun's hands encircling his waist, pulling him closer.

Xian giggles as YiJun licks the younger boy's neck before biting it softly.

"Jun... Mmmm." Xian hums at the feel of YiJun's teeth on him.

YiJun's hands tremble when they land on Xian's hard nipples. He caresses them slowly, drawing needy gasps from Xian, who throws his head back, asking for more.

YiJun kisses the younger boy's neck, before turning him in his arms.

Xian's face is not the only thing flushed at this point. He removes himself from YiJun's embrace and closes the windows, plunging the room in semi-darkness. He lights a few candles and walks to the bed, removing his lower garments as well. He stands with his back to YiJun. "Come to me."

YiJun rushes over to Xian and hugs him from behind. "Are you scared?" YiJun whispers. His voice breaks at the last syllable.

"Of you?" Xian asks, turning in YiJun's embrace.

"Mn." YiJun gulps.

"Never. My Jun, I love you. You are mine. You will never have the power to scare me." Xian says confidently before undoing YiJun's trousers.

He pushes the older boy into the bed and climbs on top of him.

"Jun... " Xian says slowly, his hands touching YiJun, starting from his face and making his way down. "Your body has changed again." He kisses YiJun's shoulder, "You are more gorgeous than before." Xian's hands travel lower to the now hard nipples stroking them gently.

YiJun gasps, feeling embarrassed at the sounds leaving his mouth; he feels powerless against Xian's touches.

Without giving any warning, Xian leans in begins sucking on YiJun's nipple.

"Ahhhhh...! Xian...please." YiJun moans, his hands fist the sheets.

"What do you want me to do, Jun? What will make you happy?" Xian asks, looking up and moving lower.

YiJun is too mesmerized to think or act; he keeps staring at Xian's beauty.

"My Jun, if you don't tell me, how will I know what you want?" Xian whispers, pouting at the older boy.

When YiJun continues to remain silent, Xian smiles mischievously, "If you don't tell me, can I do whatever I want with you?"

"Mn." YiJun nods. He has never been able to refuse the boy anything he asked for, and he never will, not in this life or his future lives. He knows that he truly and completely belongs to Xian.

Xian's smile widens; he moves up and captures YiJun's lips between his.

YiJun's hands come to rest on Xian's back. Xian deepens the kiss, and his hands confidently wrap around YiJun's erection.

YiJun gasps at the feel of Xian's fingers around him. He breaks the kiss, "Xian, what..?"

"I am doing whatever I want, my prince. And right now, I want to feel you." Xian kisses YiJun's cheek softly and starts stroking him, "I want to feel all of you."

YiJun closes his eyes at the way Xian is making him feel. He throws his head back and shuts his mouth. Xian continues to kiss and suck and leave marks all over Jun's upper body.

"Wait... I will- I am about to cum. Stop." YiJun warns.

Unexpectedly, Xian stops, "Jun, look at me." Xian orders.

YiJun opens his eyes and sits up, pulling Xian in his lap, "What happened?"

Xian bits his lips before hesitantly handing a small glass jar filled with clear liquid to the older boy, "Jun, will have to use it on me."

"What is it?" YiJun asks, taking the jar.

Xian blushes, "I want you." he says, avoiding YiJun's eyes.

"You already have me. I am yours, and always will be." YiJun feels confused.

"Yes, you are. Jun, I want you to cum inside me." Xian says, hugging YiJun and burying his face in the older boy's neck.

"Xian, you are too young... It will hurt if I do that." YiJun lifts Xian's face and looks lovingly at him, "Why do you want that?"

"I want us connected in every way possible."

YiJun smiles, "If that is what you want, how about you cum inside me. I am older and... "

"No." Xian says stubbornly, "I want you in me. I need you. This liquid, it will help." the young boy says, pointing at the jar.

"What is it?"

"It's a medicine." Xian lies. He doesn't want to tell YiJun that the liquid is something Xian had made himself, and it would prepare Xian's body to receive Jun.

When YiJun looks unsure, Xian lies down and opens the jar. He dips his fingers in the liquid and rubs it over his entrance and then on YiJun's member, "Jun, please. I want you now."

Lying on the bed naked, Xian looks like an Elven creature. YiJun feels like Xian's body has acquired a magical glow. But he dismisses it. 'No one can do magic like that in this kingdom. Maybe my mind is making up things.' YiJun lowers himself on Xian's delicate body and captures his lips in a deep passionate kiss. When he feels Xian's relax under his touch, he slowly enters the younger boy.

Xian's body stiffens for a second before pulling YiJun closer. He urges the older to move.

Within no time, YiJun's length disappears into Xian. With every thrust, YiJun hits the spot that makes Xian moan and archs his back.

YiJun's hand starts stroking Xian in sync with the thrusts. His mouth marks Xian's neck and chest. The younger boy keeps asking for more. As they make love, YiJun realizes how insatiable Xian is.

"Can I bite you?" YiJun questions, and Xian tilts his head to a side, giving permission. YiJun bites hard. And both boys cum simultaneously.

YiJun slumps over Xian, who smiles at the older boy affectionately, holding YiJun in his arms.

A few seconds later, YiJun smells blood. He looks at Xian's bleeding neck, "No!" He exclaims, covering his mouth and removing himself from Xian's embrace.

Xian's face falls. "Jun, what's wrong?" He asks, sitting up.

YiJun points at Xian's neck, "I.. I.. am sorry... I- didn't mean to hurt you."

Xian touches his neck and looks at it. He stays calm, "It doesn't hurt, Jun." Xian pulls YiJun close once more, "Heal it."

"But I hurt you... I don't think I deserve..." YiJun says, moving closer and examining the bleeding area.

"My Jun, I already told you, you can never hurt me. This body is yours. My blood belongs to you. You drawing my blood gives me nothing but pleasure. So please, just- " Xian trails off. He pulls YiJun towards his bleeding neck. "Heal it."

YiJun doesn't understand, but he doesn't question Xian anymore. 'Maybe it's the bond.' YiJun tells himself. He licks the blood off of Xian's neck, healing the younger boy. Xian sighs, feeling YiJun's lips on him, "I want you now... I want you every day."

When YiJun looks up, he finds that Xian is smiling, yet there are tears in his eyes.

YiJun kisses the tears away, "I am here for you always. At every dusk, and at every dawn."

Present

*The Emperor's Smile*

After meeting with Shen, Xian walks to the parking lot to take his bike. "Hey, there." He hears someone call and turns towards the sound. He sees a group of young girls walking towards him. He smiles politely, "How may I help you?"

The girls giggle; one of them walks forward and looks up through her lashes, "Your voice is beautiful. We were wondering if you would want to join... "

"Excuse me." Someone interrupts the girl; it's Wangji. The girls take a few steps back; they know who he is. They have heard the rumors as well. 'Nothing good comes to those who look into the Cold Prince's eyes.' The girls lower their eyes.

Wangji comes to stand next to Xian and takes the younger man's hand in his, "Sorry. He is unavailable." He informs the girls before pulling Xian in by the waist and caressing his cheek with a gloved hand, "What are you doing here? I told you that I would drop you home." He coos in Xian's ears.

The girls look at them with shocked expression before turning and almost breaking into a run.

Xian immediately pushes Wangji way, "Why did you do that!?"

Wangji smirks, "You have a boyfriend, right? I was doing him a favor by protecting you from their lustful eyes."

Xian purses his lips and crosses his arms over his chest, "Maybe they just wanted to compliment my performance. Have you thought about that?"

Wangji steps closer once again and caresses Xian's arm, "Trust me, they were interested in your performance." his eyes travel lower, "But it's not the stage performance they were interested in."

Color rises to Xian's cheeks, and he turns away from the immortal, "Well then, thank you."

"It's a small matter, no need to thank me," Wangji says, moving closer. He can't seem to get enough of the boy's scent.

"No. I mean, for the pay. I am grateful that you accepted me even after I..." Xian trails off.

"Don't mention it."

"No. You don't understand. I should not be accepting the higher pay. It's just that I am in this situation-" Xian trails off again and turns to face Wangji.

'Too close. Not good.' Xian's brain supplies. He takes a step back and trips over a loose rock. He closes his eyes and braces for the impact; the pain doesn't come. He opens his eyes to see deeply concerned eyes staring at him. 'He cares about me!' Wangji's arms around his waist feel familiar, and yet, Xian knows that Wangji has never held him before now.

Wangji takes his hands away immediately. He schools his features into that of cold indifference, "You should be more careful. If you get hurt, your boyfriend will be upset, don't you think?"

"Will you be upset too?" Xian blurts out without thinking.

Wangji doesn't answer. He turns away and changes the subject, "You were saying something about your situation."

"Ah, yes, our family is short on finances, but I feel guilty about accepting your money. Can we treat it as a loan? I mean, the excess amount?"

"I don't need your money." Wangji answers.

"Then what else can I offer you?" Xian is scared of what Wangji may ask.

"I hear that you have invited me to your party."

"Mn." Xian nods.

"Well, then, I will tell you what I want then. But now, I think it's late.." Wangji turns, "I will drop you home."

Xian protests, "It's fine. I have a bike."

"No. I will drop you. It's not safe on the bike at this time of night. Anyway, it's in the contract that the company will provide you with transport."

Xian remembers, "Oh yes, but you are the owner... How can you drop me?"

"I have a big car," Wangji says, lifting the bike as if it weighs nothing, and walks towards his car.

"I don't think my bike will fit in your Porsche," Xian replies, recalling the car he had noticed in the parking lot.

"I don't own just one car, you know," Wangji answers, walking towards what looks like a hatchback. He puts the bike inside and orders, "Get in."

Xian keeps mum and, for once, does as asked. Wangji doesn't ask for directions, and Xian offers none. The ride is uneventful. Xian's closeness once again starts making Wangji crazy. He stops breathing.

When they arrive at Jiang residence, Wangji asks, "Aren't you going to ask me how I know where you stay?"

"No." Xian answers, getting out of the car, "Thank you, Mr. Lan, for everything."

Wangji nods.

Xian smiles, 'You are hiding something, Mr. Lan. And I think I know what it is now.'

Xian walks inside. He somehow knows that Jun will not visit him tonight. As he lies in bed, he can't help but remember the concerned look in Wangji's eyes. He smiles and closes his eyes.

Once Xian is safely inside, Wangji drives off. He decides that whether or not Xian is his soulmate, he needs that boy in his life. And he needs to protect the boy at any cost.
