Chapter 399 - He Suddenly Understood (1/2)

Tian gently lowered him down onto the edge of the bed and knelt before him, taking Jing He's hands into his and pressing a kiss onto each of them.

”I love you.” He only whispered but this kind of whisper felt more like hearing a prayer than actually talking to him.

Jing He didn't know what to say. He should probably respond but … but how? Whatever he said it would certainly seem feeble in the face of his lover's fervent confession.

While Jing He still fretted over what to do Tian didn't stop and just continued with what he had been doing. His hands let go of Jing He's and instead cupped his calves, gently kneading the soft flesh through the thin fabric of the robe, preparing him for what was to come later.

Tian lowered his head and placed a kiss on top of Jing He's knee, his lips lingering for a moment. When his beloved didn't protest he leaned forward and kissed him once more, higher up on his thigh. There still wasn't any protest but Jing He also hadn't moved the hands that Tian had held just before.

Did he want to continue? Did he want to stop? Just looking at how he was sitting there it wasn't obvious at all. Most likely Tian wanted to make sure before he did anything overboard. His raspy voice once again broke the silence of Jing He's palace.

”Then … Let's go to bed?”

His words startled Jing He out of his thoughts and he replied by instinct. ”My clothes …”

Both of them froze. What had he just said? And what had it been a response to? Why did it seem as if … he had just asked his lover to help him take off his clothes?

Jing He's cheeks flushed and he wanted to say something to make sure Tian wouldn't misunderstand him but his lover was faster. Tian's hands shot forward, aiming to undo Jing He's belt and finally peel those clothes off him.

Jing He hurriedly reached out and clasped the fabric to his body. ”I …” He wanted to speak up again but his voice sounded too breathless even in his own ears. With that kind of voice … whatever he said would probably be misunderstood anyway.

Jing He's face heated up even more. Without knowing what else to do, he hurriedly lied down and faced away from his lover, pulling the blanket over him. He intently listened for sounds behind him but there was nothing.
