Work Text:
Xiao didn’t know when the monster's cries and snarls had become part of his daily routine, but he could barely remember a time before that.
His body worked on muscle memory- step, charge, strike, dodge, attack- and although each of their defeats signalized that he had just fulfilled his duty by protecting Liyue again, it was more of a routine by now than anything.
When Xiao’s presence near Qinqce Village in regards to a Hillichurl rampage was requested, he didn’t question it, the adeptus instantly making his way there to rid the Lands of Liyue from their disturbing presence.
By now, it was a daily occurance, and although he never tired from fulfilling his duty and promise, it was beginning to become monotonous- a part of himself he had long accepted and refused to lay down.
Another cry broke the peaceful quiet of the lands as another Mitachurl charged at him, its ax raised and ready to strike but Xiao was quicker and swiftly dodged it, extending his weapon and striking it down.
Amber eyes swiftly scanned his surroundings, analyzing the amount of remaining monsters. They seemed to be even more aggressive than usual, the group attacking him bigger than the ones he encountered before.
He would set a quick end to it.
Xiao heard a growl from behind him, the warning sounding too close and just when he was about to turn around and strike it down, someone else beat him to it.
The Hillichurl fell with a defeated shriek, an arrow in his back he was beginning to become more familiar with.
Her.
Golden eyes snapped up just in time to see a familiar raven-haired female jump down from a boulder, a thin thread of water attached to her finger and the moment her heels hit the ground, she flashed him a triumphant smile.
With a flick of her wrist, a handful of the monsters around them fell to the ground with pained cries, and Xiao was quick to deal with the remaining ones, making sure to bring a quick end to it.
Within a matter of minutes, the clearing was quiet once more.
Once done, the adeptus straightened and cleaned his weapon with a flick of his wrist, ridding it from the blood sticking to it before he turned to greet the unexpected source of help.
Although unexpected, Xiao wasn’t surprised to find Yelan standing a few meters next to him, hand on her hip and short blue hair shining in the morning sun. Their paths have crossed more times than not lately, and although he could have easily taken care of the monsters himself, her aid made it a quicker process.
“Yelan.” Xiao cooly greeted, low voice not giving any of his feelings away and Yelan hummed in return.
“Seems like I came just in time.” The young woman drawled as her gaze drifted from the defeated monsters to the adeptus a few feet away from her, emerald eyes locking with amber.
“I would have managed on my own.” Xiao cooly returned, and Yelan’s lips twitched at his words.
“I am sure of that.” Yelan agreed, her arm resting under her chest as she tipped her head aside, eyes gleaming. “But a little assistance never hurts.”
She had become more than familiar with the adeptus during their last little adventure in the Chasm as well as the previous Lantern Rite, their occasional run-ins having gradually begun to exceed the silent nods of acknowledgement and instead, progressed into something more personal- more close that went beyond a platonic partnership.
Something that Xiao hadn’t experienced before- and admittedly never thought he would.
“It did save me some time.” Xiao eventually admitted, and Yelan smirked. “Thank you.”
Yelan chuckled, her hand coming to rest on her hip as she shifted her weight on one leg in a way that highlighted her curves.
“Always a pleasure. Your company is quite enjoyable once one gets past that grumpy facade of yours.” Yelan teased and the tips of Xiao’s ears tinted pink, making the adepti huff.
“I am merely selective of those I spent my time with.” Xiao countered, and Yelan’s eyes flashed at that, emerald eyes glowing with satisfaction.
“I’m honored to be considered one of those.” Yelan drawled, smiling teasingly. “Only if that's the case, of course.”
She knew that it was, if the look he gave her was anything to go by. Xiao had made an effort to slowly get to know humans better and eventually started to be more open and comfortable with her, but she still liked to hear that the feeling of their growing bond and trust was mutual.
Xiao tightened his hold on his spear, straightening. “My work here is done, I should leave now.”
The adeptus was just about to turn around and leave when her voice stopped him.
“Would you like to come over and join me for a cup of tea later tonight?”
Xiao’s gaze turned back to Yelan who had tipped her head aside ever so slightly, arms crossed above her hips as she carefully watched him.
Her poker-face was well enough to hide the way her stomach turned ever so slightly as she awaited his answer, and although a big part of her already expected him to decline her offer, the smaller part still hoped that he would agree.
So in the end, she decided to take the risk and just ask him.
Xiao remained silent, seemingly taking a few moments to consider her offer, and just when she thought that he would decline it, he answered,
“If you’d have me.”
Yelan tried not to let her surprise show, emerald eyes gleaming in the bright sunlight and when she smiled, it was genuine.
“I wouldn’t have asked you if I didn’t.” Yelan teased him, her silken voice followed by a chuckle at the way his ears tinted pink, followed by his frown. “How does midnight sound?”
Xiao nodded. “Midnight works.”
Yelan’s lips curled upwards into a pleased smirk. “That’s what I like to hear. See you at midnight then?”
Xiao straightened, amber eyes glowing and expression unreadable. “Call my name, and I will be there.”
And with that, Xiao faded into lights of black and green, teleporting away and leaving Yelan alone.
Smiling to herself, Yelan turned and headed off into the other direction, more than pleased by the outcome of their run-in.
Although the fact that he had agreed to join her for some tea later did come as a surprise, it only served to fuel her suspicions that maybe he was feeling just as she did.
Yelan smiled.
Tonight, she would put her little theory to a test.
By the time the clock struck midnight, Yelan had just finished her bath.
Dressed in a satin nightgown, the dark-haired beauty moved to pour herself some spicy violet grass tea, the tips of her damp hair teasing her exposed shoulders.
She had spent the day wondering about their little rendez-vous later that night, thinking about all the possible ways it could go and before she knew it, the time had already come.
And she was more than ready and prepared for whatever outcome the night might have.
Lifting the cup to her lips, emerald eyes scanned the dimly lit room before she called,
“Xiao.”
She would never tire of the way he would suddenly materialize in front of her eyes, the knowledge that she held the power to summon him making her feel honored.
Only a selected few were granted the power to do so, and the fact that she was one of those whose calls he would answer this swiftly would never cease to make something in her heart stir.
When he arrived, Xiao looked as handsome as ever- dressed in his usual attire and golden eyes instantly locking with hers.
Yelan smiled, arching a brow. “You really are quick.”
“You call, and I’ll be there.” He reminded her, and Yelan smiled, pleased.
“It certainly does have its perks.” Yelan chuckled, eyes shining dangerously in the dim light. “I am curious to see what others there are.”
Xiao’s gaze sharpened at her words, the adeptus catching that there was more to her words than she said.
Golden eyes drifted to the night dress she wore, the satin fabric instantly demanding his attention.
The purple fabric fit her body like it was made for her, the low cut revealing the luscious swell of her breasts that were held up by nothing but two thin straps.
It complimented her milky skin beautifully, long legs and trained thighs disappearing beneath the lower rim of the dress in a way that made him wonder about where they led, and what more was to be discovered beneath the dress.
A turquoise bow rested innocently beneath her breasts, the rim of the top adorned with a white fabric and Xiao felt his throat run dry, fingers twitching by his side from the urge to reach out and skim his fingers over the soft fabric stretching over her stunning body.
She looked breathtaking- temptingly so, and the longer he looked, the harder it was to remove his gaze from it.
The tips of her hair were still wet from the bath she took before, droplets of water hitting her shoulders and rolling down her creamy skin all the way to her cleavage before they disappeared.
His gaze followed its trail before they came to rest on the glimpse of temptation his vision was granted with, and the palms of his hands tingle with the urge to reach out and cup them, to feel her soft skin against his, and maybe even the hardness of her bud rubbing against his hand.
Yelan instantly noticed the way his eyes roamed her body, and deciding to test the waters, her fingers toyed with one of the straps of her nightgown.
“What do you think?” The raven-haired beauty asked, slowly twirling so that he could get a better view of her curves and assets. “It’s a custom-made dress Lady Ningguang gifted me for my birthday.
Xiao allowed his eyes to roam over her body once again, this time quicker before he cleared his throat, eyes locking with something over her shoulder again.
“It looks good on you.” Xiao admitted, deciding against mentioning how especially well it compliments her thighs.
Yelan’s lips curled upwards into a pleased smile before she took the second cup filled with the steaming liquid and offered it to him.
“Here, have a seat.”
Xiao accepted it with a grateful nod and did as told, taking a seat on the sofa and drinking the tea together.
She had prepared a side-dish of shrimps with an extra plate of chili, and although Xiao isn’t used to eating human food, he still takes a few bites of it for the people he was close with, including her so that he would get used to it.
As they ate, Yelan’s gaze couldn’t help but drift to the way his head tilted back and revealed his lean neck, eyes then moving to his gloved hands and she wondered just how they would feel against her skin.
She crossed one leg over the other, causing her nightgown to slightly ride up and reveal more of her milky thighs which Xiao didn’t fail to notice.
His grip on the cup tightened as he stole a glance at her, the soft flesh tempting him to reach out and let his curious hands wander all over her body, exploring. She was beautiful, that he had known for a long time, but she was also dangerously tempting.
He never felt this close to just giving into his curiosity than he did then, with her.
Confusion sparked in his chest at the sudden wave of foreign feelings that washed over him whenever he was with her, the way the sight of her would make his pulse quicken and her mere presence made him feel more nervous than any battle ever could.
The sweet scent of her lotion carried all the way to his nose, drawing him wild with the desire to bury his nose into her neck as he touched her, felt her, and allowed her sweet scent to consume him.
His train of thoughts was broken by Yelan, who watched him with a knowing smile.
“How’s the tea?”
Xiao knew that she was getting at him for his lack of spice tolerance, and Xiao hummed, golden eyes drifting back to the tea.
“Your taste certainly is peculiar.” Xiao returned, and Yelan arched a brow at his teasing comment.
Now that was an unexpected, although welcome surprise.
“Want some milk?” Yelan teased, eyes sparkling with amusement at the way his neck reddened. “Though, I quite like seeing you get pushed to your limits.”
Xiao had a feeling that she wasn’t just talking about his spice tolerance, causing his heart to skip a beat.
“I have been through worse.” Xiao cooly returned, forcing himself to keep calm as he looked at her. “You would be surprised at how much I can deal with.”
Yelan took that as a challenge. “Oh? Now that is something that I would like to see.” She purred, eyes flashing. “Though, my offer still stands.”
Xiao huffed. “I appreciate it.”
Yelan leaned back against the couch and shot him a wink. “That’s what friends are for.”
Xiao let out a hum at that, brows furrowing in thought as he stared at the cup in his hand.
Yelan didn’t fail to notice the way his attitude suddenly changed and tipped her head aside, curious.
“Is something the matter?”
Xiao hesitated for a moment, seemingly contemplating whether he should tell her or not before he finally looked at her once more.
“Friend.” He said, testing the word on his lips. “You say that we are friends, but I don’t feel like I do with you with the others.”
“Oh?” Yelan asked, curiosity piqued. “How do you feel around me, then?”
Xiao frowned, thinking. “My heart beats faster whenever I’m with you.”
Yelan’s eyes widened for the split of a second, surprised by his sudden confession. He seemed unaware of the fact that he had just inadvertently revealed his feelings for her, and Yelan couldn’t help but smile in amusement.
Deciding to play along, she pushed it. “Oh? Well, you see, there are various kinds of feelings one can harbor for another that each hold a different kind of meaning.”
Xiao seemed interested in what she was saying, amber eyes watching intently as she took a sip of her tea, hiding her smirk.
“First, there is the one between family.” She started, and Xiao nodded, familiar with that one. He had seen it before- like a mother’s love for her child, or Lumine’s for her twin. “Then, there is love between friends- the one where their presence makes you feel better-makes you feel calm and safe.”
Yelan paused then, allowing him a moment to process her words and Xiao frowned, attentively listening to her. The dark-haired beauty leaned forward then, placing her tea on the table and placing one hand on the sofa next to him, bringing their faces closer.
“Then, there are the types of feelings that consume you- that make your heartbeat quicken, leaves you thinking about them all the time, that is dangerous, tempting, and yet so addicting. It fulfills you and draws you in like a magnetic force, connecting you to that person on a deeper level than with others.”
Xiao’s pulse quickened at her explanation, the way her eyes glowed in the darkness drawing him in.
She looked beautiful.
“Tell me, Xiao.” Yelan mumbled, hand resting on his knee as she innocently tipped her head aside, revealing the delicious curve of her neck as she did so. “Are your feelings for me like that?”
Xiao froze, put in the spot.
Everything she said did fit the way he felt about her, the way he couldn't stop thinking about her, the way she looked, felt, talked, or the way he wanted to spend even more time with her in a way he didn’t want to with others, felt a certain way about her that was deeper than with the others, more intimate.
And before he realized it, he had already spoken,
“Yes.”
The moment the word left his lips, he regretted them.
Although it was the truth, Xiao was not used to admitting his feelings, not to mention showing them.
They were new to him, leaving him unable to determine how he should act, what would be the most reasonable way to deal with them, and then, there was her.
He didn’t even know if she was feeling the same way about him, if the affections she held for him run as deep as his and although there were times when he did feel like they did and when she didn’t answer, he assumed that maybe he was mistaken after all.
He suddenly felt a heat in his chest that slowly began to suffocate him, and just when he was about to return his attention to his tea and change the topic, he suddenly felt a hand on his cheek.
He had no time to react because in a heartbeat, Yelan had turned his head and left him with no time to react before her lips were suddenly on his.
Xiao’s eyes widened in surprise at the sudden kiss, the feeling of her soft lips pressed against his sending a jolt of heat through his body.
Was she-?
Yelan slightly pulled back, and it was when she watched him through hooded eyes that he had his answer.
His pulse quickened at the realization that the feelings he held for her were returned just as strongly, and Yelan, who realized that it was his first time to ever kiss someone, decided to take matters into her hand.
Leaning forwards once more, she pressed her mouth against his and locked their lips into a tender kiss, allowing him some time to get used to the sensation.
It took him a few moments to get used to the feeling before he relaxed, and eventually, he parted his lips a little so she could gain better access to his mouth.
Yelan broke the kiss but let her lips hover over his once more, gazing up at him from beneath her dark lashes to let him breathe and the second his mouth found hers, something between them snapped.
Yelan shifted her weight forward so that she was straddling him, nails scraping his scalp as she took hold of his hair, Xiao’s gloved hands resting hotly on her hips as the kiss grew more heated.
The dark-haired adeptus found himself pushed with his back against the couch, shifting to make her feel more comfortable on his lap when he accidentally found himself gripping her full breasts instead of her shoulder.
His blood turned hot as he marveled how soft they were beneath his hands, her hardened buds pressing hotly against his palm.
Yelan, noticing his sudden distraction, chuckled, breaking the kiss with a knowing smirk.
“I always knew you were quite fond of my chest and thought I wouldn’t see you sneak glances at them.” Yelan purred, earning her a flustered look from Xiao that made him look all the more endearing.”I assume that it’s your first time being this intimate with someone, then?”
Xiao eventually nodded, seeming both fascinated and nervous at once. “I have never had this sort of attraction towards anyone in the past millennia.”
Yelan tightened her thighs around his hips then, admiring the innocent yet curious look his face held. She leaned forwards then, lips ghosting over the length of his jaw before her hot breath fanned his ear.
“Would you like me to help you with that?” She purred, moving her heat over his hardening member that twitched eagerly in response. “That is, if you are ready for it. If not, just say so and we’ll sleep away the night, nothing more.”
The thought of laying in bed next to her with this feeling and the urge to touch her suffocating him was more scary than anything that could possibly happen between the two, and with a nod, Xiao accepted her offer, golden eyes brimming with need.
“Let’s take this somewhere more suitable then.” Yelan hummed, biting on his earlobe before she crawled off his lap. Xiao was on his feet in a heartbeat, but before he could follow her to the bedroom, he suddenly felt his feet being swept off the ground.
Wide eyes turned to look at the bluenette in a mixture of surprise and shock as he found himself getting carried to her bedroom in her arms, and at his bashful expression, Yelan chuckled, the sound deep and seductive.
He looked adorable like that, and since he didn’t protest, she assumed that he didn’t mind it either.
The way to her bedroom passed by in a blur, Xiao’s back hitting the soft mattress of her bed before she crawled over him, locking their lips once more.
The kiss was heated as she ran her hands down his torso, legs locking around his hips as she pressed herself tightly against him.
He could feel her hardened nipples press against his chest as she pressed herself against his hard member for a friction of relief, gently nibbling on his ear and down to his neck which earned her a low groan from the adeptus in return, his gloved hands tightening on her waist.
“Seems like I have found your weak spots.” Yelan teased, her velvet voice sweeter than any prayer that reached his ears in the past centuries. “Let’s see how many more I can find.”
Yelan moved back and hooked her fingers around the hem of his pants before she pulled them down, her other hand pushing his shirt up to his collarbone, leaving nothing but his bare body and throbbing erection poking through his undergarments at full display.
Yelan allowed herself a moment to admire how long and thick he was, her hands running over his muscular chest and fingers ghosting over his erect nipples that earned her a pleased shiver from the adeptus.
Her hands trailed lower before she finally pulled down his undergarments, and Yelan marveled at the sight of his hardened size. It was bigger than she expected, and a jolt of heat shot straight to her core at the sight of it.
Emerald locked with amber then, hand gently caressing his member and eyes gleaming dangerously. “Have you ever touched yourself, Xiao?"
Xiao seemed embarrassed by her question and turned his head away, red dusting his cheeks and Yelan smirked, leaning forward with her free hand planted on his abs. “Want me to teach you?”
Without waiting for an answer, Yelan moved to lay beside him and let her hands run up and down his length, lazily pumping it before she parted her lips and coated it with a generous amount of her spit.
She continued to stroke him as her free hand patted Xiao’s head, piercing green brimming with the need to please him.
“Do you like that feeling?” She purred against his neck, increasing her speed as she nibbled his ear, the grunt she received making her tighten her hand around his length. “You’re such a good boy, taking my hand around your big cock like that. Do you think you can take more than that, hm?”
At her praise, Xiao’s pulse quickened, a groan ripping from his throat before he could stop himself and Yelan hummed, satisfied as she grinded her dripping heat against his leg to increase her pleasure.
That look of sheer pleasure and submission on his face looked delicious, and the knowledge that a strong adeptus like him was lying beneath her, savoring her touch and fully at her mercy made her throb with the need to feel him inside of her.
Yelan picked up the pace then, the squelching sound of her hand pumping his length drowning under his whimpers and soft moans of her name as she licked her lips.
“Just like that, take it all in.” Yelan whispered, her sultry voice making him groan as he grinded his hips against her hand, wanting, needing more. “Feel it like the good boy you are.”
She could feel his heart hammer against his ribs, begging to be freed as his gloved hand sneaked up her rear, hiking up her dress ever so slightly just to find that she wore nothing underneath her dress.
“I’m not wearing anything under it.” She confirmed his thoughts with a seductive chuckle that sent a jolt of electricity down his spine, breath hot against his ear. “I find it to be more thrilling. ”
She wondered if it made any difference to him, if the way the soft fabric stretched over her body and revealed more than it hid was to his liking and the way his member twitched eagerly in her hand was all the answer she needed.
His fingers dug into the soft flesh of her ass and Yelan hummed in satisfaction, lips ghosting over his neck.
“Want to have a taste?” Yelan inquired, voice low and drawing him in. “My pussy is all yours to try.”
Xiao hesitated then, a little caught off guard. “You want to take a break for us to eat?”
Yelan, surprised, let out a laugh at his innocence, unable to believe that he wasn’t familiar with the term.
“Pussy isn’t a dish,” Yelan clarified, finger running down the length of his jaw as she took in his confused expression. “But you can indeed eat it as they say, just not in the literal sense. Did Rex Lapis never teach you about the human body?”
Xiao looked lost, if not even a little overwhelmed, and Yelan’s smile softened.
He was just too cute, looking like that.
“Once a woman is aroused, her core- which is also known as pussy by most- begins to grow wet.” She explains, hiking up her dress as she moved to kneel over his face, giving him a perfect view of her dripping heat.
Her hand left his length to take his hand, guiding it to her throbbing core with a smirk.
“Don’t be shy. Touch it.”
She let his hand ghost over her folds, letting him feel how wet she was as he gazed up at her with curious, golden eyes that glowed in the darkness of her bedroom.
He inwardly noted how different it looked up-close, her well-groomed pubic hair a beautiful contrast to her milky skin but before he could admire her any longer, her voice ripped him out of his musings.
“Brace yourself.” Yelan purred, and at his curious look, she slowly lowered herself right on his face so that his mouth was pressed against her dripping heat.
She gets herself comfortable just so that he still has enough room to breathe, his hot breath fanning her folds and making her throb with need.
“First, you let your tongue stroke the folds all the way to the pleasure bud above the entrance.” Yelan started to explain, her velvet tone making his hands on her ass tighten. “You can also push your tongue inside of me.”
Xiao hesitated for a moment before his tongue darted out to tentatively lick her sensitive area before going for her clit.
Yelan moaned at the wave of pleasure that washed over her as she began to grind her hips over his face, fingers reaching out to play with her hardened nipples, back arched.
She noticed how his hands needily gripped her ass, infatuated with it and when he suddenly stuck his tongue inside her just like she did as they kissed earlier, she gasped in pleasure, emerald eyes locking with hazy gold.
“Very well done. You are quite quick to catch on, aren’t you?” Yelan purred as she grinded herself against his face again, this time harder. She would punish him for it later, but for now, she would enjoy herself. “Do you like the taste of my pussy, hmm?”
Her fingers found his hair and gave it a sharp tug, earning her a muffled groan from Xiao as she squeezed her thighs against his face.
Xiao’s member twitched as it pressed against her ass, hot and hard as he continued to lick her, gradually increasing her pleasure.
Yelan’s eyes rolled back as she quickened her pace, back arching as he pumped his tongue into her and with a cry of pleasure, white exploded in her vision, making her reach her high and come undone all over his face.
Yelan rode out her pleasure before she moved back and leaned forward to lock her lips with his once more, the way he licked them as she broke away making her pussy throb for more.
“You did well.” She praised, her thumb brushing over his lower lip before she stuck it into her mouth, licking all the remnants of her juices off.
The way his eyes darkened with hunger made her smirk, the bluenette more than aware of his painful erection.
It was time for his turn now.
“Next, I will teach you how to penetrate me with your cock instead of your tongue.” Yelan announced as she shrugged off the straps of her nightgown, letting it pool around her hips before she laid down before him, spreading her legs, fully revealing herself to him.
Xiao rolled onto his knees and allowed himself a few moments to drink in the sight of her bare form, burning eyes roaming her body and his gaze hotly running over her curves.
He instantly got the hint and aligned his throbbing member in front of her dripping opening, her fingers wrapping around it to help him guide it to her entrance.
He felt her wetness touch his swollen tip as her fingers spread her folds open, encouraging to push himself into her- and so he did.
Slowly, he enters her, careful to not hurt her and once he was fully sheathed, he hissed at the sensation of her velvet walls around his hard length.
It felt like home, and once he was fully inside her, emerald locked with amber.
“Xiao,” Yelan purred, fingers running down his muscular chest as her eyes shone with need. “Fuck me.”
Her order was loud and clear, and Xiao wasted no time and began to pound into her with light, delicate thrusts to get used to it.
“It’s so tight.” He grunts before he reached out to cup her bouncing breasts, growing more bold and rubbing her buds of pleasure with his fingers.
Yelan moaned as he continued to thrust into her, overwhelmed by raw need and pleasure and as he saw her heated gaze and parted lips, he let out a low moan.
Fuck, she looked delicious.
Yelan hummed as she ran her nails down his back, biting her lower lip before she commanded, “Faster, don’t hold back.”
Xiao hesitated, wondering if she would be able to take it if he would let loose of all his restraints and as if reading his mind, Yelan merely offered him a seductive smile.
“Don’t worry,” She purred, before she gasped in pleasure when he hit a spot. “I can take it.”
Eager to please, Xiao increased his pace and leaned forward, close to her chest and holding her body to go deeper, amber eyes wild as he took in her pleased expression.
“Go ahead,” Yelan cooed, noticing how he watched her breasts as they bounced with each of his thrusts. “Suck on them.”
Xiao didn’t waste any time and did as told, mouth descending over her nipple and sucking on her breasts, earning him sweet moans as a reward from the beauty beneath him as he pounded into her.
His tongue darted out to lick and nibble on her buds as she wrapped her legs and arms around him, keeping him pressed against her body while he went deeper, harder, and oh, did he feel amazing inside her as he fucked her.
Their moans increased in volume as he pounded into her like a man starved, his last restraints snapping as Yelan whined.
“Yes, just like that.” She breathed, grinding her hips to meet his thrusts. “You’re fucking me so good Xiao. Harder.”
Xiao fully let loose as he took her with all he had, the sound of his hips snapping against hers and his dick slamming into her squelching heat accompanied by their moans and calls for each other's names.
Their eyes locked as he fucked her and Xiao found himself lost in their depth, leaving him flustered by the intensity of her gaze which earned him a beautiful smile from Yelan who reached out to cup his face and pull him down for another heated kiss.
The two of them kept going and not too soon, Xiao felt his cock tighten, his pleasure increasing.
“I am close.” Xiao rasped, voice raw from all the moans and Yelan whimpered, digging her nails into his broad shoulders.
“Me too.” She said, biting on her lower lip as her gaze sharpened. “Don’t you stop now, Xiao. Tell me what you want.”
Xiao felt himself grow close, the need for release overwhelming him as he groaned. “I, I need to-”
He cut himself off with a grunt and Yelan moaned, eyes sharp as she watched his expression twist with need.
“What do you want Xiao?” Yelan demanded, hot breath fanning over his lips as she lifted her face to his. “Beg for it.”
“Please.” Xiao husked, eyes wild with the need for release. “Please, Yelan, let me-nghhh!”
Yelan’s hands slipped to his hair, tugging it sharply. “Let you what, Xiao?”
Xiao groaned as his hips wildly snapped against hers. “Come.” He rasped, desperately, “Please, let me come.”
He found himself lost in her eyes as he pounded into her, the way she smiled at his desperation making his heart nearly burst off his chest and with a groan, he mumbled.
“I love you.” He husked, slamming himself into her even harder as her eyes widened in surprise at his sudden confession that was followed by a needy grunt. “Nghh Archons, I love you so much.”
Emerald eyes lost themselves in pools of heated amber as he took her, the affection brimming in them making her chest warm with nothing but love and desire.
“I love you too, Xiao.” Yelan purred, breathless and pleased before she leaned up and let her lips ghost over his. Holding his face in her hands, she locked her gaze with his before she whispered,
“Now come.”
And with that single command, he came undone.
Her name left his lips in a heated moan as he came, hot juices spilling inside her as his thrusts turned slower. Yelan followed him with a broken whine, coming all over his cock as he continued to lazily pound into her as he unloaded his heated juices.
Once he rode out his high, Xiao remained inside of her and slightly leaned over to ensure that she was alright before Yelan pulled him down for a kiss, her mouth lazily moving against his.
It was only after a few moments that he eventually pulled out, amber eyes dropping to the remaining juices dripping from her and the wet stains on her sheets.
“Seems like we got a little carried away.” Yelan teased, the smirk on her lips warming his chest with nothing but raw affection as he watched her wipe some of her juices on her fingers before she lifted them to her full lips and sucked his seed off of them.
Xiao watched her, fascinated, before he leaned down and allowed his tongue to dart out and lazily lick his seed off her heat, taking her by surprise.
“It tastes better than I expected.” Xiao commented and Yelan chuckled, surprised by his recently unlocked openness.
“I will get you back for that later.” She told him before she wrapped her hands around his neck, pulling him down onto her body. “But for now, let’s have a little rest.”
Xiao nestled his head on her soft breasts and wrapped his arms around her waist, her fingers drawing soft patterns on his back before they went to scratch his head.
“So, how was tonight?” Yelan asked, the low timbre of her voice soothing as Xiao looked up, blinking.
“Hm?”
Yelan chuckled, eyes gleaming in amusement. “How did tonight feel?”
Understanding washed over him as he hummed.
“Relieving.” Xiao muttered, and Yelan hummed in agreement, pleased by his admittance. “Like I could finally be vulnerable with someone I love and trust.”
Warmth spread in her chest at his admission, her fingers continuing to comb through his hair.
“Do you want this to continue?” Yelan asked, cautiously yet direct and Xiao didn’t even need to think before he answered.
“I do.” He instantly returned, golden eyes locked with hers and at her smile, he knew that he made the right decision and couldn’t be happier about it. “You?”
“Of course.” Yelan echoed, before she flashed him a smirk. “Maybe we could keep it a little secret of ours.”
Xiao arched a brow and Yelan chuckled before her smile dimmed and her expression turned more serious. “We’ll figure it out once the time comes. For now, let’s just take it one step at a time and enjoy each other’s company.”
Xiao nodded in agreement, admitting that it made sense.
The first rays of the sun were already peeking through the dark blinds of her room, signalizing the early morning and Yelan hummed, fingers combing through his hair as she looked down at him with a devilish smile.
“How about we go for another round, hm?” Yelan suggested, voice dropping a few octaves as she gave his hair a sharp tug. “This time, with the assistance of a few tricks and toys I have up my sleeve. How does that sound?”
Xiao instantly felt himself harden at her words, and when Yelan slipped out of his grasp, he watched her go to her drawer, and as she held up a belt with a cock attached to it, his eyes widened.
Yelan smirked.
“Oh, we have a long night ahead of us with all that I have planned for you.”
He certainly didn’t regret it.
“And this is the result!” Ying’er excitedly exclaimed, earning her a bright smile from Lumine and a sound of understanding from her floating companion.
“Oh, that makes sense!” Paimon exclaimed, clapping her hands.
Ying’er was just explaining to them an important aspect of alchemy when Paimon suddenly spotted Xiao’s silhouette in the distance, her little expression immediately brightening.
“Oi, isn’t that Xiao?” The little form exclaimed, raising an arm in greeting but before she could call for him, Lumine beat her to it.
“Xiao!” The blonde called with a smile, instantly catching his attention.
The adeptus was by their side in a matter of moments, greeting the small group with a tired nod. “Good morning.”
Paimon grinned.”How have you been? It’s been a while since we last saw you!”
Lumine nodded in agreement before her smile dimmed in concern. “Though you do look a little tired, have you been getting enough sleep recently?”
The traveler didn’t fail to notice the way the adeptus suddenly stiffened, as if he was caught red-handed but keeping his expression masked, he merely nodded.
“I’m fine. There is no need for you to be worried.” He assured them, adjusting his pace to theirs as they continued to walk.
Lumine didn’t miss the way he seemed to slightly limp, golden eyes shining with concern. “Are you sure? You seem hurt.”
Xiao cleared his throat at her observation and straightened, hiding his grimace as he did so. “I’m fine.” He said again and Lumine nodded, deciding to drop it.
They continued to talk for a little longer before he bid them farewell with a nod and softly-spoken words of parting, leaving Lumine and Paimon behind with Ying’er once more.
“I wonder what happened to him. He seemed to be in a lot of pain.” Paimon noted and Lumine thinned her lips in agreement. “It’s probably because of all the monsters he has been fighting.”
Lumine sighed. “Most likely.”
“Or it could be something entirely different.” Ying’er teased as she leaned to Lumine’s ears so that Paimon couldn’t hear. “From the looks of it, I’m sure he fell victim to the pleasures and sweet temptations the long nights have to offer- like the ones I share with Timaeus! I end up unable to walk for weeks sometimes because of all the tricks he has in his sleeves.”
Lumine’s eyes widened at Ying’er’s suggestions, thinking back to the bite marks on his neck earlier that seemed eerily similar to the ones she used to hide after her encounters with a certain ginger-haired Fatui Harbinger.
She wondered just who Xiao got himself entangled with. Whoever it was must definitely had taken their sweet time with him.
Shaking her head, Lumine sighed.
Poor Xiao.
