A Daily Life of a Fire Dragon

5.Hot springs

Shi Lang watches the General as the man descends into the water. The pool itself is not deep, or big enough to swim in it. It even has an underwater ledge to sit on at one side. The white shirt becomes transparent when it gets wet. He should have said something, but his tongue is tied at the sight. This man really is something else. He even lost all modesty. Shi Lang never saw anything like this with any human he’s ever met before. He’s intrigued. So much so that he accepts the invite to bathe with the General.

Discarding the two layers of outer robes, his shirt, and his boots, Shi Lang slowly steps into the pool. The water is just hot enough to let steam rise in the air around them. It was always a pleasure to submerge into it, but this time there is a slight apprehension. Just a small reserve, because he’s not alone. It’s completely new for Shi Lang to share a bath with someone. Even one that is big enough that they don’t encroach on each other’s personal space. With the steam between them, he can still see the General. Wait! When did he let his hair loose? The hair pin was there just moments ago.

“I will be eternally in your debt for this,” the General says. Is he closer than before? What is this human up to? Shi Lang thinks back to the events of the day. He smiled, twice! Damn. It’s completely possible that he has put the General under a spell unintentionally.

“No need,” he responds. It’s time to put the human back in his place. Or, just at a safe distance so he doesn’t get hurt. “You talked with me. That is enough.”

“But, I feel like I have to do something, or I won’t be able to rest tonight,” the General says. The man is indeed very close. A wet washing cloth slips over Shi Lang’s shoulders. Where did that come from? Oh! It’s not a washing cloth at all. It’s one of the General’s sleeves.

“No?” Why did that come out as a question? Shi Lang got himself in a situation where he couldn't get out easily. Revealing his true self was not planned. Any kind of get away that doesn’t involve magic is currently impossible. Well, he could just drown the man, but he doesn’t want to hurt him. Not even a little, so he doesn’t push him away, either.

“I won’t do anything you don’t want me to,” the General whispers into his ear.

“Wake up!” Shi Lang snaps his fingers. This should break any spell that he might have placed by mistake.

“I’m awake,” the General laughs. His breath tickles Shi Lang down his neck. “You didn’t put me under a spell. I know perfectly well what I’m doing. But, do stop me if I cross any lines.”

“No,” Shi Lang doesn’t want him to stop. He wants to see and feel what the General would do to him. This human is just too appealing to turn down. And it’s not Dayin. She is living her life in the county Marquises palace as a servant in this incarnation. Out of reach, out of sight. He uses a little bit of magic to make the steam disperse. The General smiles at him gently before he straddles his legs. A soft kiss is planted on his lips, as a kind of question for permission. Shi Lang has never been kissed before. He nods slightly and closes his eyes. The next kiss is harder, more demanding. He likes it even better.

“Tell me your name,” the General demands between kisses.

“Shi Lang,” he answers. His name is not a secret, but it might be a wedge if the General has ever heard about him.

“Mmm…May I call you A-Lang?” Another kiss prevents him from answering right away. This man knows what he’s doing. Especially his hands that roam Shi Lang’s body freely.

“You may,” he says eventually. He’s never been so aroused before. Not even after his many dreams of Dayin. “But, I can’t address you as General when we do this.”

“Run Yu. That is my name, but nobody calls me that,” the General answers with a deep voice, filled with lust. Not under a spell? Right. It’s just not a spell Shi Lang has cast.

“Run Yu,” Shi Lang repeats. The name slips from his tongue with ease. It makes the other man shiver and moan. And, it also emboldens Shi Lang. He returns the kisses feverishly. He pulls Run Yu closer to his own body. Making their clothes disappear is the easiest magic trick in the world. The end of all human modesty. He never understood why they still keep some of the clothes on when they bade.

“How?” Run Yu asks. He noticed that he was undressed with magic, not by hands.

“Not relevant,” Shi Lang kisses him again. He wants him. This man just turned his life upside down in less than a day. It will definitely be troublesome at some point later on. Right now, he’s too busy to think about it. He takes the body that is so generously offered to him. Run Yu’s tight ass fits perfectly into his hands. The man’s d**k brushes against his abs when he pulls him closer. The kisses are not enough anymore. Shi Lang would prefer a woman in his hands, but the face he’s staring at is even more beautiful. The long lashes frame beautiful dark eyes. Run Yu has the most perfect nose, and soft rosy lips.

Shi Lang kisses him again. His own d**k is throbbing with lust. The hot water has made Run Yu softer, relaxed, but it doesn’t affect the dragon. He slips a finger in Run Yu’s ass to test him. Will he protest? Will he stop him? The response is what he hoped for, but not expected. Run Yu moans between kisses, and winds his arms around Shi Lang. He takes it as an invitation. If not, he’ll apologise later. He just can’t wait anymore. Run Yu’s knees brush up against his ribs as he takes him completely. The moans turn into muffled screams. Run Yu has bitten his own hand to keep quiet. It turns Shi Lang on even more. He pounds the man without pause. The clenching of muscles around his d**k feels too good to stop.

When Shi Lang finally comes, he picks Run Yu up and carries him to the cottage. He lays him carefully on the bed and kisses him again. It was not enough to satisfy him. Not even close. Run Yu might not be aware of what he’s done. But, there will be time to explain later. He kisses his lover again, and caresses his chest. The scars from numerous battles can’t take away the beauty. There is even one just above Run Yu’s left eye. It was covered by the wisps of hair before. Shi Lang carefully kisses that scar. He spreads Run Yu’s legs to kneel between them. Kissing him gently to keep from hurting his face, he f***s him again. Out of the water, where he doesn’t have to worry that he’d accidentally drown the man, he can even turn some attention to other parts of his body. Shi Lang pinches the round, tout n*****s, and even takes the man’s d**k in his own hands. He might as well provide a full round of pleasure to them both.

“Please, no more!” Run Yu begs him later. It’s been four rounds of tantalising s*x or five?

“Fine. I’ll let you off for today,” Shi Lang nods. They are next to each other on the narrow bed. He is leaning on his hand and looking down at Run Yu. The guy looks spent, but radiant.

“I’m sore all over. I never imagined you’d actually do this,” Run Yu whispers. Even his voice is raspy beyond recognition.

“Here,” Shi Lang conjures up a bottle of ointment. “This can heal any wound.”

“Even old ones?” Run Yu asks. He blushes when Shi Lang dips his fingers into the bottle. Applying medicine after he inflicted the wounds is nothing new to Shi Lang. Just the process and the body part is new.

“If you are persistent enough,” he answers. Then he applies a small portion of the ointment to the scar on Run Yu’s face. Brushing his hair out of the way as he goes.

“I should return to the camp,” Run Yu sighs.

“Can you walk?” Shi Lang smirks. He knows what he’s done. If his lover can move out of bed, he might just fly him back to the army camp.

“Even if I can’t, I should go back. I can’t be missing for too long,” Run Yu tries to stand up, but falls right back down.

“Rest a bit longer. I’ll get you back before nightfall,” Shi Lang sighs. He knows he can’t just keep a General by his side forever.

“With magic? Don’t think I forgot what you did in the pool,” Run Yu inquires.

“Sort of,” he sighs. Magic is easy. He snaps his fingers and gets them fully dressed. Only the General’s helmet is left sitting on the table.

“So, you don’t deny that you know magic?” Run Yu muses. The smile on the man’s face is almost mischievous.

“No. Why would I?” Shi Lang chuckles. “I worried that I had accidentally put you under a spell, but it turns out that I’m the one who was bewitched.”

“Can you tell me now what you are?” Run Yu asks again.

“A fire dragon,” Shi Lang smiles. He lets his eyes turn red for the effect. There is no fear coming from his lover. The man has accepted the fact as well as he would say a soldier. If he will react the same when he sees his dragon form, is yet to be seen. But the start is promising.
