When had things come to this? XiShi wondered, her gaze drifting from the food in her hand to the figure sprawled in front of her . FengXiu looked hungry. Not for the food..... obviously because why? A low, guttural sound rumbled from his chest, a sound that had nothing to do with a rumbling stomach.

Apparently. XueLing and HaoYue weren't going to be home tonight. As usual they'd left at lunch, promising to return tomorrow morning. Which left her, XiShi, alone with him. Just her and FengXiu, the human embodiment of pent-up frustration.

"XiShi…" FengXiu began, his voice a low growl that sent a shiver down her spine. He shifted on the couch, his eyes locked on her as if she were a particularly delicious piece of meat. "My… my heart feels… restless." He punctuated the last word with a suggestive wiggle of his eyebrows, a move so transparent it was almost laughable.

XiShi raised an eyebrow, feigning complete innocence. "Restless, you say? Perhaps you need to do some stretches? Or maybe a walk? I hear the autumn air is quite bracing, truly invigorating for… restless hearts...." She emphasized the last word with a delicate, almost mocking tone.

His nostrils flared, and he let out another low groan. "Not that kind of restless! Woman, you know what I mean! I'm... I'm throbbing, XiShi. Like a… a bull about to charge! My blood feels like molten lava, and it’s all… all… for you!" He threw his hands up in exasperation, the picture of pathetic, primal need.

XiShi pursed her lips, biting back a smile. "Molten lava, you say? Oh, my. Perhaps you should… apply some cold compresses? Or… avoid spicy foods?" She tilted her head, her eyes widening with mock concern. "Are you quite sure you aren't coming down with something, FengXiu? Should I check your… temperature?"

“You know exactly what I’m talking about! Stop playing coy! It's driving me mad! I want… I want to… to plow you! " He finished, his voice a raw, desperate whisper.

XiShi gasped, clutching a hand to her chest. "Plow me? But… we don't have a garden! And wouldn't that be… terribly inefficient?" She blinked at him, her face an innocent mask of confusion.

His face was turning beet red, his frustration palpable. " You're deliberately misinterpreting me!" He threw himself back on the tree, smirking.....

"I want you… I want your heat… I need to bury myself inside you, XiShi. Is that plain enough?"

XiShi tapped her chin with a finger, pretending to consider his words. "Bury… yourself… inside me? Are you suggesting we play hide-and-seek? I'm rather good at finding people in tight corners." She gave him an innocent smile, the picture of pure, unadulterated mischief.

Let the poor, horny brute suffer a little longer; she was enjoying the show far too much to stop now.

When will he snap ?
