Xuan Long immediately pulled Su Qinglan tightly into his arms, pressing her flushed body hard against his chest.
With his free hand, he aggressively swept all the small baskets off the bed.
They clattered and spilled onto the floor, but Su Qinglan couldn’t even voice a single complaint. Her mouth was already completely devoured by his.
Xuan Long plunged his tongue deep inside her mouth, exploring her with a starved hunger.
Su Qinglan let out a soft, helpless moan against his lips, her fingers tightly gripping his broad shoulders for support.
Because of how quickly he had moved, the lower half of her body was literally dangling off the side of the bed, while her upper body rested on the bed.
Xuan Long completely surrounded her from all sides, his massive frame blocking out the rest of the room.
When he finally pulled back just an inch to let her breathe, both of their eyes were misty and heavy with desire.
Xuan Long gazed down at her, his emerald eyes deep and dark with an intense, possessive emotion.
He lifted her effortlessly in his powerful arms, moving her completely onto the center of the bed, and climbed right on top of her.
Su Qinglan looked up at him with wide, trembling eyes. Her skin was flushed hot, but she also felt incredibly embarrassed.
The house was absolutely full of people. She knew the hearing of powerful beastmen was extraordinarily sharp, and the sheer thought of them listening made her heart race with anxiety.
But looking into Xuan Long’s deep, dark gaze, she found she couldn’t say no to him.
She knew how lonely he must have felt after being separated from her for so many days in the cold Upper Domain. Her heart softened with pure affection, and she willingly let him take control.
Xuan Long immediately slid his hands up her thighs. His cool palms roamed against her warm, smooth skin, creating a stark contrast that made her shudder violently.
Her toes curled tightly under the sheets as she gasped, staring up at him.
Xuan Long leaned down and pinned her lips with a deep peck before trailing his kisses down her chin.
He moved directly to her neck, his breath hot against her skin. He bit and sucked gently at the sensitive flesh of her collarbone, leaving a bright red mark that bloomed against her pale skin like a fresh rose.
His face was still buried in the curve of Su Qinglan’s neck when his eyes suddenly widened. A cold expression flashed across his face, and his entire body stiffened.
Su Qinglan noticed immediately. "What happened?" she asked softly, concern mixing with the heat in her voice.
Xuan Long pulled back slightly, his dark eyes searching hers.
"Did something happen while I was not here?" he asked, voice low and tense.
Su Qinglan was stunned for a moment. She tried to recall, but nothing major came to mind. "No," she answered honestly, shaking her head.
His eyes deepened with unspoken emotions. Suddenly, he buried his face in the crook of her neck and bit down on her neck, not too hard but enough to make her gasp sharply.
"Xuan Long... it hurts," she whimpered, body jerking.
He realized what he had done and immediately softened.
He looked up at her with possessive heat. "Lan Lan, did you miss me?" he asked, voice thick with desire. "Tell me how much you missed me."
Su Qinglan’s legs clenched around his hand. Her face burned with embarrassment and passion. "Xuan Long... I missed you too much," she breathed.
He chuckled, the sound low and flirty. "How did you miss me? Tell me in detail," he teased, still circling her bud with slow strokes.
Her cheeks turned even redder.
Instinctively, her hand moved down from his firm abdomen, tracing his mermaid lines until her fingers brushed against his hardness. She stroked him lightly.
Xuan Long groaned deeply and buried his face in her neck. "Lan Lan... don’t," he warned, though his hips pushed slightly into her touch.
Su Qinglan let out a soft, teasing chuckle. "I definitely missed this," she whispered playfully, her fingers continuing their gentle exploration.
His hand tightened possessively on her waist.
Suddenly, his other palm pressed harder against her core, making her squirm and moan under his grasp.
"You’re going to drive me crazy, Lan Lan," he growled, his voice full of passion and love. "Two months... two whole months without you. I won’t hold back today."
She smiled shyly but pulled him closer, her body trembling with the same longing.
Their eyes met again, filled with fiery emotions and teasing heat.
