With one hand, Xiao Dan pushed his fingers into Huli’s unruly hair and brushed it from his forehead. “I don’t hate you. I could never hate you. When I saw you disappear over the wall after Min, my heart went with you. All I could think was that if she killed you, I wouldn’t know how to go on. I panicked. My every thought was how I’d never been brave enough to tell you…to show you…”
“Show me what?”
“How much I love you.”
Huli blinked, and his amber eyes twinkled with unshed tears. “You love me?”
“So much. But I’ve been afraid to say those words because I thought you’d feel tied to me. That those words would drive you away. I was afraid you could never return such a big feeling and would resent me.” Xiao Dan swallowed hard and shook his head. “I refuse to be afraid anymore. Even if you will never love me, I want you to know that I love you. I cherish everything about my precious huli jing.”
“Love!” Huli threw himself at Xiao Dan as much as he could, despite already being in his arms. He crushed their mouths together in a violent and needy kiss while his fingers bit into his shoulders.
Xiao Dan would have laughed if he was not preoccupied with kissing Huli. This appeared to be an excellent sign that Huli returned his feelings. When the fox spirit attempted to climb him to get closer, Xiao Dan did the only thing he could—he cupped Huli’s ass with both hands to lift him and walked across the room to his bed, allowing Huli to more easily wrap his legs around his waist.
Sitting on the side of the bed with his fox on his lap, Xiao Dan could slip his hands up under Huli’s shirt, caressing warm skin while devouring his mouth.
“Gege,” Huli whined as he kissed across Xiao Dan’s jaw to his ear. “Your Huli is trying to be good and make you proud of me. We should talk about Min, but if we talk about Min, you will hate me, and we will stop kissing.” The tip of Huli’s tongue caressed Xiao Dan’s earlobe and for a moment, he forgot his own name.
“I won’t hate you,” Xiao Dan reassured him as soon as his brain remembered speech.
“But we’ll stop kissing…”
No one could pout quite like his fox.
Huli was right that they needed to discuss Min, but he didn’t want to stop and be responsible. He was so fucking tired of being the responsible one.
“How about this? Answer two questions for me. Is my clan in immediate danger from Min?”
Huli shook his head. “No. I don’t think she’d threaten the rest of the clan. She wants only your soul.”
“Is she a threat to you?”
“No, she can’t hurt me. I will kill her if she comes near me or you ever again.”
Xiao Dan dipped his head and nipped at Huli’s bottom lip. “Then how about we kiss for a little while longer? Afterward, we can talk about this bargain you made. Okay?”
“Just kiss?”
Huli’s voice dropped to a husky whisper as he moved his lips closer to Xiao Dan’s ear. A shiver ran through him as Huli licked his earlobe and his arm pulled the other man even closer. He could feel Huli’s hard cock pressing into his stomach and Xiao Dan’s hands squeezed Huli’s ass.
“What does Huli want?”
“So many things. I can feel your dick pushing against your pants, but what I want is to feel you pushing into my ass.” Huli licked up the side of Xiao Dan’s neck and nuzzled his jaw with his sharp nose. “Do you want that, my Xiao Dan? Do you want to push that thick cock deep inside of me? Make your Huli beg for every bit of you?”
Xiao Dan’s brain was melting down and in danger of running out of his ears. Somehow he’d forgotten that the very essence of the huli jing was seduction. Every story he’d ever read about them was a huli jing seducing a poor human. Only a few positive ones ended with the huli jing falling for the human.
But Huli had always been full of sweetness and mischief. He’d never heard such words out of his mouth.
Now that they had left his nimble tongue, creating an image in Xiao Dan’s brain, it was all he wanted.
Was this too fast?
Huli’s hand slid from his shoulder to his chest, sneaking between them to rub his stomach. “But Huli doesn’t deserve to have your wonderful dick in him.” As he spoke, he shifted his position on Xiao Dan’s lap so that he was on his knees while straddling him. The motion caused their cocks to rub together. Xiao Dan clenched his teeth to hold in his moan. The wicked little fox was reading him so clearly, he didn’t have a chance.
