Me and Him and Him - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

The moment I saw the Cold-faced Guard accept my jewelry, I was over the moon and immediately started tugging at his clothes.

“Wait.” For once, the Cold-faced Guard’s ears turned faintly red. He pressed down on my hands. “Not tonight. Tomorrow night. I’ll come to you.”

At that, I couldn’t help feeling disappointed. Not tonight?

What a perfect opportunity this was. The emperor was right there beside us. If everything went smoothly tonight and I conceived, I could even save the money I’d need to bribe the imperial physician into changing the dates.

But I didn’t dare let it show, for fear of angering him and making him refuse to sell me his seed after all.

So, with great reluctance, I arranged to borrow his seed at the hour of Hai tomorrow night.

Perhaps because the heavy stone on my heart had finally been lifted, I slept unbelievably soundly by the emperor’s sickbed that night, so soundly I forgot I was supposed to be attending to the sick.

When I woke, I looked around but didn’t see the Cold-faced Guard. He had probably gone off duty.

After handing things over to another consort who had come to attend to the sick, I returned to my own palace.

At the hour of Hai, the Cold-faced Guard arrived as promised.

I had already dismissed all the palace servants, leaving only a single dim lamp burning. My heart pounded like a drum.

After entering the room, he shut the door behind him in one smooth, natural motion, as if he were coming back to his own home.

Nervously, I handed him a cup of tea. The Cold-faced Guard glanced at me, my hands trembling so badly I was about to spill the water, then took the cup and drained it in one gulp.

At the sight, I let out a breath of relief.

I was afraid this Cold-faced Guard might only look impressive but be useless in practice, wasting all my money, so I had asked another consort for this potent aphrodisiac.

The medicine took effect extremely quickly.

The Cold-faced Guard’s eyes changed almost instantly.

The cold, profound look from before turned scorching and dangerous, like a ferocious beast that had locked on to its prey.

He grabbed my wrist, his grip so strong it hurt, and I cried out softly.

“You drugged me?” His voice was hoarse, with a trace of disbelief.

My guilt nearly swallowed me whole. Terrified that he might get angry enough to strangle me on the spot, I hurriedly shook my head in denial. “N-no! It’s just… just a little something to liven things up… I was afraid you… afraid you couldn’t perform…”

I said the last three words in a voice as thin as a mosquito’s buzz, but he clearly heard them.

His eyes darkened. He suddenly swept me up in his arms and strode toward the bed.

“You think I can’t perform?” He tossed me into the soft bedding, climbed over me, and gave a cold laugh through gritted teeth. “Tonight, I’ll let Your Ladyship find out exactly whether I can or not!”

…

Facts proved that my worries had been completely unnecessary.

This Cold-faced Guard wasn’t merely capable. He was far too capable, all right!

Several times, I couldn’t take it anymore and tried to run, only for him to seize my ankle and drag me back to continue.

Not only that, he was shockingly adventurous.

It wasn’t just on the bed.

It was also by the window.

In front of my dressing mirror.

He lifted me up and forced me to look straight at the bronze mirror, at the two of us pressed intimately together.

I was so embarrassed and indignant that even my toes turned red, and I squeezed my eyes shut, not daring to look.

“Open your eyes!” The Cold-faced Guard’s movements grew even fiercer, and he threatened me, “If you don’t open them, then from now on, every time we do this, it’ll be in front of the mirror…”

I jolted in fright and immediately opened my eyes.

Who knew which nerve that jolt of mine struck in him, but he let out a muffled groan and became even more relentless.

The pleasure was so overwhelming it nearly drowned me, and I truly couldn’t withstand it. Sobbing, I said, “Wuwu, I don’t want to buy anymore. Give me my money back, wuwu…”

At that, the Cold-faced Guard gave a cold laugh.

“Too late!”
