Obsessed with a High-Ranking Esper (BL)-Chapter 318: NSFW 3

Yu Xi chuckled. The vibration of his chest traveled through Jian Ci’s own, a gentle, amused tremor that somehow softened the sharp edge of his annoyance.

"Is my pain amusing you, Little Xi?" Jian Ci murmured against his neck, his voice a low, needy grumble.

Yu Xi knew exactly what pain he meant. The evidence was pressing insistently against Yu Xi’s thigh. Jian Ci was painfully, unmistakably hard. The thick, rigid length was a brand of his thwarted desire.

Yu Xi shifted, a mischievous smile playing on his lips even though Jian Ci couldn’t see it. "I will take care of it for you," he said, his tone light and teasing. "But in the shower."

Jian Ci’s head snapped up. His eyes, dark with want, searched Yu Xi’s face. "Really?"

Yu Xi laughed, the sound bright and clear, finding Jian Ci’s instant, hopeful mood change utterly funny. Before Yu Xi could reconsider or retract the offer, Jian Ci acted fast. He helped Yu Xi sit up, then, in a swift, powerful motion, hooked his arms around him and hoisted him over his shoulder in a fireman’s carry.

"You asshole!" Yu Xi exclaimed, but his laugh was sweet, devoid of any real protest. He draped comfortably over Jian Ci’s broad back, his own arousal stirring again at the sudden, dominant move.

Jian Ci smacked Yu Xi’s ass, a firm and possessive slap that echoed in the quiet room. "You dare scold me?" he growled, a promise in his voice.

He carried Yu Xi effortlessly through the bedroom door and into the adjoining bathroom. Jian Ci didn’t set Yu Xi down gently. He leaned him against the cool tile wall beside the shower, his body crowding close immediately. Yu Xi slid down to his knees and Jian Ci’s expression morphed from happy, to ecstatic, to blissful in seconds.

An hour later.

Jian Ci and Yu Xi came downstairs, their steps slow but steady. To their surprise, it wasn’t only Jian Rui waiting for them. It was everyone. And among them, seated with an air of authority, was Eros.

Yu Xi arched a brow, his voice calm but edged with curiosity. "I was about to ask how you found this place." His gaze lingered on his grandfather.

Eros, however, looked anything but guilty. His eyes narrowed, not at Yu Xi’s words, but at the sight before him. His grandson’s neck was covered in hickeys, each one unmistakably Jian Ci’s handiwork.

Eros’ heart clenched. He cried inwardly for his family’s precious cabbage, devoured by this insatiable beast named Jian Ci.

Jian Wei broke the silence, his tone dry. "We called you guys, but you weren’t picking up."

Xiaobao grinned, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "They are having their honeymoon. You should leave my brother be." She looked so delighted, it was as if she had won a prize.

Eros sighed, rubbing his temples. "Let’s all sit down and talk. We have a lot to deal with."

Yu Xi settled onto the couch, his posture relaxed. Jian Ci perched on the armrest beside him, but the way his legs were placed made it look no different from him sitting directly on Yu Xi’s lap.

Eros groaned. "Can you at least respect this old man and not be so affectionate?"

Jian Ci flushed, embarrassed. He shifted, about to stand up, but Yu Xi’s hand shot out, pulling him firmly down onto his lap. Jian Ci startled, his eyes wide.

"He stays right where he is," Yu Xi said, his tone final.

Eros: "..."

The room fell into awkward silence, broken only when Jian Rui moved to sit down as well. Stannis leaned close, his voice low, teasing. "You want to sit on my lap too?"

Jian Rui froze, his face blank. "..."

Jian Wei frowned, his senses prickling. "Is it just me, or does the air feel a little too sweet... disgustingly sweet?"

Xiaobao shot him a look, her lips curling. "Speak for yourself. Some of us like it." She stood abruptly, moving to sit as far away from him as possible.

Jian Wei: "..."

He realized she was still mad at him, even after his apology. The sting of her dismissal lingered, but before he could respond, Seraphyne’s voice cut through the room, commanding and resolute.

"In three days, Jian Rui, you will be appointed as the new Imperial Lord with the blessing of the Divine Council. As for Thaurion and his accomplices, they will face a public trial." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Jian Ci’s jaw tightened, his voice sharp with fury. "Sounds good. I want that fucker to suffer." The anger in his tone was palpable, vibrating through the room.

Yu Xi’s hand slid to Jian Ci’s waist, caressing gently to calm him. Jian Ci caught his hand, leaning down to whisper against his ear, "Little Xi, don’t provoke me."

Yu Xi’s lips curved into a sly smile as he said, "Pervert."

Seraphyne looked away from her shameless son, her expression unreadable. "As for Eros, you and I need to talk."

Eros’ eyes narrowed. He knew exactly what she meant. As long as there was nothing solidifying their alliance, Eros would always be seen as a threat. Thus marriage between Yu Xi and Jian Ci was the best solution to put both parties at ease.

"Sure," he said simply, his voice steady.

Seraphyne’s gaze shifted, sharp as a blade, pointing at Jian Rui and Stannis. "And you two."

Jian Rui blinked. "Us?"

"Is there something you want to share with the group?" Seraphyne asked, her tone deceptively calm.

Jian Rui pursed his lips, his throat tightening. Stannis gave a nervous laugh, scratching the back of his neck. "No-no, nothing."

"Really?" Seraphyne pressed, her eyes narrowing.

Jian Rui swallowed hard. He could feel the weight of her gaze, the truth pressing against his chest. He knew they all had the right to know. As the new Imperial Lord, he couldn’t afford secrets, not from the people closest to him.

And from the look on his mother’s face, he realized she already knew everything. The question that haunted him was how.
