It was a cool evening in Liyue. The sky was clear and was decorated with shining stars. The harbour was already filled with people. Usually, the only ones present at this hour would be fishermen and the businessmen from Snezhnaya who try to intrigue anyone into buying the items in their tent’s carts. But tonight was the Lantern Rite. Tonight was the peak of the Lantern Rite. An event favoured by many, mortal and immortal. So not only citizens of Liyue were present but also scholars from Sumeru, adventurers from Inazuma, businessmen from Snezhnaya—anyone from all over Tevyat were there to enjoy the Rite. Even outlanders—like you—were present here, tonight with your lover to celebrate the second Lantern Rite ever since you first step your foot on the land of geo.

Standing on the very front row of the crowd, the closest to the edge of the harbour, you were each given a lantern all together with the big lantern. “This year, May us all be guided by the fleeting colors and light, prosperity and joy, and love,” the Storyteller, Tian spoke. With that, everyone who held a lantern made a whisper of wish and let go of their lantern. 

Holding the yellow glow in one hand, you made a silent wish for yourself, and glanced to the man beside you whose eyes were closed, lips muttering inaudibly. For a split moment in the middle of wishing, you inexplicitly complimented him in your sentence, “May our relationship always be blessed and may the beauty of our love stay true,”. You closed your eyes, also praying to the gods from your home-world.  

And when you opened them again, a pair of amber brown eyes was looking at you dearly with a smile on the owner’s lips. “Is your lantern ready now, Darling?” he asked as he glanced down at your free hand and slowly intertwined it with his. “Mhm, together just like last year. Shall we, Zhongli?” you voiced out. Zhongli gave you a nod, initiating to let go off the lantern. Carefully, you lifted your lantern higher and slipped it off your fingertips, letting it float up into the night sky. 

Your eyes glimmered as you watch the warm-lit harbour despite the cool night breeze. 

You felt Zhongli’s gloved hand on the side of your waist, pulling you close to him. You turned to face him, again he was smiling softly at you which made you question, “Enjoying the evening, aren’t you?”. “Well it is the Lantern Rite. Everyone seem to always be quite relished themselves from what I have observed over the centuries,” he chuckled, “I’ve always favored the event. Especially, when I am spending it with you.” He dipped his head down and connects his lips to yours. You could feel the red coming up to your cheeks as the moment tick by, which made you slide your hand to rest on the back of his head. His other hand tilted your head, grabbing it by the chin and pulled you even closer. His lips felt soft. Just like the back of his hair that was let down from the usual bounded style. 

“Why do you never let your hair down, Mr. Zhongli?”. 

You had asked him when you were still beginning to know him.

The question bemused him.

“It is for formality reasons, I style it so,” he answered, “Do you wish for it to sway along when I walk, Traveler?”. Startled, and yet bluntly you said, “No—um, well maybe I do wish that you try to style it in another way. Uhm, you know…to make it less…dull. I mean-…”

He cut off your sentence, “Perhaps, I will. On special occasions.”

Well, one of those special occasions was tonight. He had let his hair flow free behind him and let the cool early February breeze embrace it. 

His hand delicately slipped to hold your cheek, kissing your lips again. You always loved it when he kisses you like this, gently and so deeply. You wanted to continue kissing him back, but a cough was heard from behind which made you pull yourself away from him.

You expected a mother with kids scolding you, but as soon as you turned to face the interruption, you were greeted by the red eyes of a woman dressed in purple. On her waist, was a geo vision. “Good evening, Traveler,” the leader of the Liyue Qixing greeted. A warm smile was present on her face, “And Mr. Zhongli, I see you have finally found someone to court after years.” Zhongli instantly replied before you could open your mouth to speak, “Evening, Lady Ningguang. Why yes, I believe I have.” 

Only after that you followed, “Greetings, Lady Ningguang.” A smile appeared on Ningguang’s face. “There is no need to slip a title, Traveler. I didn’t sought for you in meanings of business, but to voice an invitation,” she affirmed, “It would be wondrous if you could join me for a dinner at the Jade Chamber.” Hearing this, you could feel the man behind you slightly stiffen which made you take a glimpse of him. His facial expression gave you no information in return despite the way that he looked like he was holding back from saying something. “Ah— That’s very kind and thoughtful of you, Ningguang. But…” Again, you looked at Zhongli who was staring back at you with a stern expression. 

You thought for a split second, 

Your night dates with Zhongli doesn’t usually go beyond the average bed-time of a child. What comes after would be happening in-doors. “I do not find pleasure in the cold night breeze,” he once told you. So, accepting an invitation to spend the other half of the night with someone else wouldn’t hurt him, would it? 

“So, have you got an answer, lovely?”.

Your attention was quickly snatched especially with the surprise of the name at the end which made you feel some small ticklish giggle erupt in the back of your lungs. Clearing your throat, you answered, “Yes! Lady— Ningguang, I accept your invitation. Thank you, I will join you tonight with the rest invited,”. Ningguang smiled, and a hidden and barely readable satisfaction was written on her face. “Very well then! Now, I must get going— I look forward to seeing you tonight, lovely. Happy lantern rite, you two,” She swiftly waved her hand and walked pass.

Once again, Zhongli answered it for you, “Happy Lantern Rite, Lady Ningguang.”

You furrowed your eyebrows in confusion, “I could’ve answered her myself, you know.” What’s gotten to him by the conversation earlier? You wondered. 

“I see you have finally found someone to court after years.”

“I believe I have.”

“Lovely.”

“Darling.”

Had Ningguang’s comments struck a nerve in him? For, now you were being tugged by the hand by him, forcing you to follow to a less crowded corner of the harbor which was, no other than behind a closed ore kiosk. “Zhongli—” 

The man shook his head, “Whatever you’re about to say, you are to answer my question first.”

His words made you scoff but you obeyed and kept quiet while silently asking if everything was okay through your eyes. He took a deep breath, his eyes closing before locking gaze with yours. You waited. One minute. Two minutes. Three minutes, you waited for him to open his mouth to say something. But all you could hear was your breaths and the sunken sound of the harbour. 

Within the time, you grew bored.

And so without removing the position of your head, you observed his eyes as if you’ve never seen such a pair. The ambers that glowed like ores in the dark, the fine and careful linings around it, his beautiful lashes, the spark that glimmered in them when he smiles. But at this moment, he most definitely was not smiling. He was rather…grimacing at you. From the way they snapped shut earlier, to the way they were looking at you. With that, you took in the conclusion that was half what you presumed earlier.

“You are jealous, aren’t you?”

* ੈ✩‧₊˚

Upon hearing your words, a smirk appeared at the corners of his mouth. “Took you long enough, Darling.”

His hand found its way to slip onto your waist as he swapped your positions around and pinned you to the concrete wall. A gasp escaped out of you caused by the sudden switch. “I—” You didn’t get to speak as Zhongli crashed his lips to yours, moulding them together. “Mhmm…Hush, Darling and let me enjoy you for the time that’s left before you go to that dinner you agreed to,” he murmured againts your lips. The emphasis he put on the word dinner was clear, he was soundingly dissapointed about you not being able to spend the rest of the night with him. “Well,” you paused, “it was an invitation from the Qixing, who am I to refuse?”. 

This time, you kissed him with more passion, your hips pressing onto his a little. 

He cocked his head to the side, looking down at you who kept your arms around his torso to pull him closer so you could press harder. This brought him to chuckle, “Feeling bold now, aren’t we Y/N?”.

He started to kiss down your neck, tracing on every bit of skin he could find in the area. His soft lips eventually brushed on your sweet spot and got a squeal of yours, letting him know. The next minute, he was already kissing, licking, and biting all over the sensitive spot, as a hickey started to form. 

He kissed you deeply, even deciding to slip his tongue to tangle it with yours. Captivated by the feeling and tension, you moaned into his mouth. The entirety of it tasted pure dopamine at the tip of your tongue. Mixed with the thrill of making out with your beloved lover in public, being pinned to a wall, the only thing keeping you out of sight were the stack of boxes. You slipped your hand up to his neck, your core brushing againts the growing bulge in his pants, still kissing him as desire burned in you.

Acting back on your moves, Zhongli removed the hand that was on your waist, putting his palm on the wall behind you instead and cupped your cheek with the other, relying the rest to his body strength to keep you in place. “Mmh, you better keep it down, Darling. Or else, they might have to leave the last seat empty,” he taunted. 

Unfortunately, his so called ‘threat’ bought an idea to your head. As much as you love these kinds of sensual sessions with Zhongli, you decided to break away from the kiss— looking somewhere else other than him. All of a sudden, the temperature that surrounded you went down. The tension that was built up, gone with the breeze and away with the feeling. You had an innocent smile playing on your face, if only he could see it— how quickly it evolved into a teasing smirk as he plainly stared down, half-desperate. Just because one decided to pull away right before something was about to begin. 

“You’re right, Zhongli. I am expected to arrive on time. So, I think it’s best for me to go home and prepare then,” you said as you pushed yourself off the wall, sneaking under his arm. He didn’t stop you, no matter how much the jealousy because of being put second at the moment clouded over him. 

Seeing him stay quiet, you commented, “That is alright, right?”.

“Um,” he let out a noise of doubt, his eyes shutting again as he exhaled. This was how Zhongli had always been. He had always been so short-tempered to teasing and yet in public he still manages to keep himself composed. Yes, that’s the one way to describe him— A composed man (in public), you thought.  

“Alright, Darling. You have my permission to go spend the night with them—If you let me escort you back and that you’d be home by midnight,” he dramatically concluded. “Of course, I promise that I’d be home by midnight,” you mentally did a happy dance in success. The arm that was on the side of your head was now corner-folded on his side, in which you gleefully held. On the way back, Zhongli decided to add on a little, one of them being, “Also, Y/N, I have a strong assumption that Lady Ningguang has taken an interest in you. I believe that it will tranquillize me more that you promise not to flirt with her.”

You furrowed your eyebrows, as laughter started to erupt, “I still love you, Zhongli. There’s no doubt about that,”. He shook his head, “I know that. But still—”.

“I promise,” you cut him off as soon as your laughter died down.

“I won’t flirt with her.”

Back at home, you changed into a dress with the colors of blue and gold that reached your knee. The dress was layered, one of them had a close pattern on its fabric. Each layer had golden embroidery decorating its edges. The sleeves of the dress were not very long and see-through, along with the two long fabrics that flowed behind your back from the skirt. The top wasn’t much different than the skirt part of the dress, on the waist, hung a golden string of beads. You chose to complete the attire with a golden string headpiece around your hair that you chose to let down to the sides of your shoulder. You slipped into a pair of dark heels with a thick stand. 

With that, you set off to the Jade Chamber, up in the skies of Liyue.

* ੈ✩‧₊˚

“Traveler!” A sweet voice greeted you as your foot stepped onto the cobble platform. You perked up to the voice and a short figure in her signature purple dress stood in front of you with a stack of plates in hand. “Yun Jin! Didn’t expect to see you here,” you shot her a smile and waved. 

Her eyes closed as she smiled back at you, “Ningguang invited me because she liked my last opera performance. I decided to come up here early to lend her a hand along as a thank you.”

“You didn’t have to, Miss Yun-Jin. I have enough helpers to mantain a casual dinner, Now have your seat, ” The white haired lady appeared behind her so suddenly, almost startling her.

Yun Jin quickly turned around to face Ningguang, her head slightly dipping while she giggles, “Right, I will. I’ll get these down first.” And off she went, leaving you with Ningguang. 

You just stared at her figure that slowly dissapeared into the building. 

“Why, don’t you just look beautiful tonight, lovely Traveler,” Ningguang turned her attention to you, one of her hand resting at her waist, “Got away from men’s posession?”. Your cheeks flushed at her compliment as you mumbled a small thanks before her query surprised you. Since when did she get so observant of your love life? 

“Ah— I wouldn’t call it posession but,” you watched her eyes move up and down, silently discerning, “he’s just caring for me, that’s all.”

Ningguang raised an eyebrow, “You sure about that?”.

“Of course! He’s made it clear verbally and physically, so why wouldn’t I be?”

“Well maybe he just happen to have you wrapped around his fingers,” Ningguang chuckled at your sentence, before continuing, “Come, Y/N. It’s dinner-time,”.

* ੈ✩‧₊˚

The dinner was held inside the Jade Chamber, at a proper dining room with a long wooden table and no more or less than twelve seats. All of them were filled with the people you know. Most of them were your friends, including Yun Jin who sat next to you. Conversations were made and comments were thrown here and there across seats. The atmosphere throughout the event was quite joyful, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves until the very end where all that’s left on the plates and trays are the crumbs and shreds of the food and delicacies. 

You indulged in the scene— chatting with your friends, enjoying the dishes, and interacting with Ningguang who sat at the end of the table that just happened to be a bit far from you.

But no matter how distracted you are from anything related to Zhongli, your mind kept drifting to your short session with him at the harbour. The annoyed expression on his face as Ningguang spoke to you, slipping in a little name for you. The kisses he had left on your neck in which you had covered with powder as soon as you arrived home. The feeling of his— you tried not to think further, but your mind kept leading you on, making it hard to contain yourself in your seat. 

After the host in blue closed and concluded the dinner, everyone started to get up from their seats, gathering their things and then left the Jade Chamber for their own residences. Except, for a few who were close to Ningguang to be asked to stay the night, one of them being you. 

“Stay for the night, Y/N?” She requested. “Um—,” You muttered before shaking your head, “No, I don’t think so. I had promised him that I’d get back as soon as dinner ends.” 

Ningguang furrowed her eyebrows, “Well…Can’t you stay for a little bit then? I’d like to have an informal one on one conversation with you,”. Her request sounded a bit off to your ears. Lady Ningguang wanted to have an informal conversation with you? What was so special about tonight?

You hesitated for a moment, looking over to the grand clock nearby. The long arrow was pointing at the 12 and the shorter one at 9, showing it wasn’t midnight yet. You looked at Ningguang again who had her arms crossed over her chest, waiting for an answer.

“Alright, I’ll stay for a bit. I have time until midnight.” 

And your answer made the lady smile widely. 

* ੈ✩‧₊˚

Thirty minutes later, you were back on the streets of Liyue, heading towards the residence you shared with Zhongli. Quietly, you knocked on the door as you stepped in. “Zhongli, I’m home!” You announced as you took off theback sleeves of you dress, hanging it on the coat rack beside the entrance. There was no reply, even after you made the sound of you taking off your headpiece perfectly clear in the room that you two shared. “Zhongli?” you called out once you were back downstairs, walking through the hall. “My love, are you home?”.

Suddenly, a sigh came from the tea table which made you snap your head towards it. A man in a brown robe with golden linings was sitting on one of the cushions. He was lazily staring at you, but his clouded gaze was full of relief. “Where else would I be? In fact, I think that question should be asked towards you, beloved. Where have you been, Y/N?” Zhongli spoke calmly, slowly getting up onto his feet to approach you, “How did you enjoy the dinner?”.

Although his tone was soothing, you could tell that he was not smiling. “It was wonderful, actually. I enjoyed myself,” you solidly answered, pretending to obliviously ignore the first question.

A chuckle stumbled out of his mouth, “Of course you did, she held you back didn’t she?”. You instantly knew who he meant. There’s no point in lying to him about it. “Yes, she did. But I made sure to be back before midnight— and I did not flirt with her,” you told him, trying to keep him down. 

At your answer he (almost soundily) scoffed while raising a finger to point to the clock above the hallway. Your eyes followed it, watching the clock’s arrows that made the time presicely twenty past twelve. Without realizing, your eyes grew wide as you looked over back at Zhongli’s face that had a dissapproving look on it. 

“We’re already twenty minutes into a new day, Darling,” he came closer to you and got the hold of your chin. His bare hand felt warm on your skin as you wondered what he will do of a broken promise. Surprisingly, he furrowed his eyebrows then said, “Go upstairs.” 

“What?” you repeated at his words. “I said, go upstairs. I’ll be in the bedroom in a few minutes,” he released his grip and lifted the teapot on the table, putting it on the kitchen counter, “Go.”

A gut feeling told you that you were definitely in trouble. But you knew that your heart was excitedly beating fast. “Okay,” you obliged and left the room just to stop by the stairs in the hall.

“What are you waiting for?” Zhongli’s voice startled you as he took you by the hand to make you move your feet up the staircase. Adrenaline rushed through you when the two of you arrived at the bedroom where he swiftly pushed you inside and closed the door with one foot, swiping in the lock.

“What did you do with her that kept you so long?” he began, switching off the room’s main lighting and walking over to the lamp standing between a mirror and the king-sized bed. He did both acts without taking his eyes off of yours ever so easily. 

“No— we just talked, I swear!” you protested, “what’s made you so mad about it? She complimented me, and talked to me about my travels and how my life is, that’s all.”

Zhongli shook his head and spun you around, in a split second; your back was already againts the wall with golden-amber eyes staring down at you. A shocked gasp came out of your mouth as he puts his hand to the wall. “You know what, whatever you did with her, I no longer care about that. What I want to know though, is how you could be so distracted with her fancy conersations and dinner that you spent the entire night with her and could not be home by the time that you had pledged,” he explained, his tone slowly but clearly going higher.  His words made the room go silent. Well, in that case— it made you go silent. 

“If you let me escort you back and that you’d be home by midnight,”

“Of course, I promise I’ll be home by midnight.”

Guilt started to wash over you, making you dip your head down to look at the floor. “I’m sorry,” you mumbled. Again, he scoffed. 

Suddenly, you felt something nudging at your core; in between your legs making you whimper out of surprise as heat pooled. He easily lifted your feet up, while his other hand wrapped itself around your neck; his thumb and middle finger on either ends of your jawline. The position surely mad you look straight into his eyes. “I want you to look at me when you apologize,” he ordered. You could feel his fingers pressing into your jawline, slightly cutting off the bloodstream and his thigh slowly teasing you.

You took a deep breath, or at the very least tried to as he pressed harder, a smirk tugging at his lips, “Come on, don’t you enjoy it?”.

“I—” It was difficult to put words together when your head was already up in the clouds like this, but knowing Zhongli, he would keep you all night just like this— just for you to apologize.

“I’m sorry, Zhongli. I’m sorry for spending the ends of my night with her— for spending the night of the event that you had always looked forward to spending it with me. I’m sorry, I couldn’t blame her— I’m sure she would have been fine with me declining but I said yes…” you looked at him as you pronounced every word, your regret and guilt comprehendable through them, “I’m sorry for making the desicions I made tonight; last night”. 

By the end of your sentence, he released you. Letting you exhale, wiping the little tear drops in the corners of your eyes. “Good girl…See, that wasn’t so hard after all,” he praised, removing his hand from the wall and cupped your cheeks instead, “you are forgiven, Darling.”

A smile of relief broke out on your face.

He leaned down to mold his lips with yours in which you happily obliged.

“Mhmm, now that we could put that aside…Let’s continue our little escapade earlier, shall we?”

* ੈ✩‧₊˚

This time, you were the first to tip-toe and kiss him, his hands easily sliding down to your waist, rubbing on the outlines of the layered dress. He pulled you close, entangling his tongue with yours while walking and dragging you to sit in front of the mirror. “Mmmh~ Darling…” he groaned, tugging on the back of your dress as he released the knot of his robe. He made you face the mirror, sneaking behind you. He peppered wet kisses down your neck, most of the kisses were left by a sloppy sound that was followed by the sound of your moans as the temperature in the room got hotter. 

Your eyes met themselves in the mirror, elucidating the position you were in, still standing up with a bare-chested Zhongli supporting you by the arm behind you. In the corner of your eye, you could see a smirk playing on his lips before they’re shut by a hard kiss on your shoulder, creating a mark. “Oh~  Lord— Zhongli I— Take off my,” without waiting for you to finish your barely proper sentence, he already had his fingers pulling down the zipper. 

ZZZZrrrt!

He quickly looped your arms over the sleeves and the dress slid down from your body so easily, now pooled on the floor. His eyes looked directly at you in the mirror. “My, my, look at you, beloved,” he taunted, staring down at the matching undergarments set you were wearing. Slightly taken aback, you let out a breathy chuckle, “Huh, Don’t I always use it so?”. 

“Oh, I am most definitely aware of that, dear Y/N. But what I really meant was this,”

His hand drifted down to your most sensitive area, his index finger hooking onto your panties while his other hand un-clipped your bra, the two last pieces of clothing slid down to the carpet covered floor, leaving you in the nude. He picked up your undergarments, squeezing them in his hands before looking back at you with a smirk, “They’re drenched,”. He threw them to the other side of the room and tugged at the fine ligament of his robe, quickly discarding it.

You inhaled a sharp breath as his thumb softly rubbed againts your breasts. You were too caught up in the small pleasure that you didn’t notice him rub his two fingers on your clit. Only when you realized, he was already laughing deliberately as you whimpered at his touch. He traced over the valley of your chest, but not once that his skin met your nipples that were hardening with every action he decided to do. 

“Well Isn’t it fun teasing you like this, darling? Getting to touch you everywhere while you decide to stay put  and try not to let your knees give out, hearing you moan and whimper,” Zhongli commented, “You’re very wet too…Be patient for me a little, would you?”.

Right. Your hands were not tied. You could really give them some affection or some sort if you just reached up—. “Ah-ah-ah, Y/N. You keep your hands to yourself. Only I get to touch you, for now,” he tsk-ed

“Tell me what you want,”. 

“Stop—teasing me- Ah~ I want- I want you to touch me more— please, please,” your sentence came out better than your last. Your knees shook as he rubbed harder and faster, “I am already touching you, dear. I’m afraid you’d have to be more specific, hm?” . You wasted no time to grab his hand and finally letting it touch the sensitive buds, “Ha~ah…Here.” 

At the same time, Zhongli slipped in two slender fingers at once into your pussy.   

A startled gasp which was followed by a whimper escaped you. Zhongli’s lips curled into a smirk againts the skin of your neck, “You like it when I fuck you with my fingers like this, Hm?”. He kept thrusting his finger in, occasionally changing the angle to hit those special spots. Your knees were slowly giving out as you clenched at every thrust aside from the hazy lust that clouded the room from the sounds of his kisses and your moans. Having him finger-fuck you while standing was a new thing that not only you were enjoying. Normally, he would ask you to sit on the couch beside him and make you watch him guide your hand to finger yourself. “Eyes on the mirror, Darling,”.

“A—ah right,” were the only words you managed to get out as he started to rub his thumb on your clit, the wet sounds becoming more and more explicit. But as soon as you looked into the mirror, your eyes were already rolling, your head thrown back onto Zhongli’s broad shoulder. Suddenly, you felt something building up inside as his thrusts were going at a faster pace now.

“Arching your back already…what if I add another, hm?” He commented, letting out a low chuckle. He showered you with kisses, all over. His other hand stayed on your breasts, softly rubbing just to get you on the edge. “When I knead them like this, I could feel you shiver under having my finger circle around your nipple, teasing until you could’t help but do it yourself,”. 

His two fingers took you in between smoothly making your eyes shoot open from the sensation. 

He pulled you closer and you stumbled backwards, your back hitting his hard chest as he kissed your collarbones. You were now squirming in his embrace, his hands naturally doing whatever they want to your body. 

“Ha~ah I- I’m going to—,” you could barely form a proper sentence. But the man understood completely and silenced you by placing a kiss below your ear, “Oh I know, my darling wants to cum, doesn’t she?”. Your head nodded at his response. “Mhm, Of course she does…I don’t know though…Should I let you? After all, you do enjoy getting edged and your behaviour from tonight is far from being worthy of spilling all over my fingers…far from a good girl, I recall,” he taunted in a sympathetic tone. 

Far from a good girl. His words echoed. 

You were far from worthy of praise. 

Seizing a moment latched by swish and moans, you spoke againts the skin of his neck. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry for staying with her. It didn’t mean anything, I promise, I—,”

“Hush, This is no time for your promises nor apologies. Just hold your orgasm and let me play with your pussy for a bit longer, can my sweet darling do that for me?”. 

It was a request you were not sure you could fill. You were torn between having to hold it in and ride your high when he tells you to let go, than to not cum at all. So you simply obliged, “I think,”—your words were cleaved by sounds of pleasure.

“You better. Although by the looks of it, you’re clenching on my fingers, my love,”. Zhongli tipped your chin to make you gaze down, “Sure you can do it?”.

You could only nod your head to convince no other than yourself as your eyes squeezed shut while you were seconds away from being thrown over. But soon your words were left as nonsense when your mouth opened to take them back, “No— Zhongli, I don’t think I—,” .

Right when you were just about to reach the climax, he pulled his hand away, leaving you empty. Your eyes opened wide and that was when you fell to your knees, slipping from his figure. You could hear him trying to contain his laugh while he takes your hand to get you to move and face him instead of the mirror that showed the pathetic reflection of you. You were close. So close, to reeling in the thrilling pleasure and it was snatched from you so easily.  

“You’re cruel,” you said as you spun around by carefully lifting your feet and scooting on the carpet covered floor. 

Your lover chuckled as he looked down at you. He slowly pulled down the last layer on his body, revealing his cock right in front of you. Throbbing with pre-cum slightly leaking off the tip as he held it ready to shove it in you. A gasp escaped you out of surprise. You tilted your head to see Zhongli looking at you as if he was waiting for something. His hand grabbed your chin as you silently waited. “You know what to do, come on Darling,” he voiced out, “Suck.”

All of a sudden, an idea appeared in your head. Some kind of voice whispering that you should tease him, as a payback for making you seem pathetic and desperate even— submissive. Although of course, you, yourself— know how you really are and how you will still end up being under him. And so you hesitated to open your mouth and nonchalantly asked, “How?”. This time, Zhongli was the one who tilted his head even lower, repeating the same question, “What do you mean how,  Darling?”. You pulled back a little, “I mean, how? How do you want me to do it? How do you want me to suck your cock? You’re a man of preference, aren’t you?”.  

He inhaled a sharp breath at your sentence, his head shooting up. “I’d like you to suck it how you know I usually like you to,” He spoke, “I doubt that you have forgotten,”. Your lips formed a pout, “I’m afraid I have, my love…Could you tell me again?”. Your hand slowly drifted to stroke up and down his cock, and at the sudden touch, you heard a low moan from above you. A smirk tugged your lips, “Mhmm, that doesn’t answer my question, do tell,”. 

You heard him sigh before hearing the confident voice again, “You’d like me to order you, then?”. A sudden rush of awkward regret washed over you as you flashed him an innocent grin. You gave yourself a mental slap, how he can just get to his previous level in that short of time. As you thought over another plan, you gave him a nod, “What would you like me to do, sir?”. The name caught him off guard. “Ah, I do not find that name quite fitting for myself, dear,” he commented. It seemed like he was trying to gather himself together. “Well then, why don’t you put my dick inside your fucking mouth already,”. 

Right at his command, you guided him closer your mouth as you rubbed your hand, swirling your tongue over it. You let out your tongue and licked up and back down ever so slowly making him release a moan. Finally, you opened your mouth and let his cock in. A startled moan of pleasure escaped him as your lips made contact with him bare and warm. 

“Good girl, wrap your lips around my cock- Mhmm…yes,” His words reminded you that you were under his control and you obliged, closing in your lips a bit more. “Release it and use your tongue, Darling. I know you can, I’ve felt you done it plenty,”. You pulled it out of your mouth with a popping sound before putting him back in. You did the routine several times, earning sounds of pleasure from Zhongli while waiting for his next request. “Now, suck it, make a use of that pretty mouth of yours, Y/N”. The words that ended all the teasing, he thought. Excitement pumped through you, licking your lips before you took him in. No teeth, you reminded yourself. 

You ran your hands higher up as you sucked him deeper. “Aah, that’s it, keep on going,” He moaned, his fingers suddenly grabbing a fistful of your hair, pushing you further. His move almost made you choke, but the pleasure distracted you from the pain of the startling second. “Fuck,” he cussed. The word barely slips off his tongue daily, but it’s always when he’s already drowned in lust that it does. The true fact that you were the only one who made him feel the need to and got to hear him cuss that way was something that made it hotter for you, making you even more wet than before. You kept going, setting a goal in your head that you will make him cum with your tongue and mouth. 

“Darling-,” His call was cut off by another groan. You looked up—or at least tried to—into his amber eyes you had admired this evening. You noticed that Zhongli was smiling. He was smiling like he was satisfied with what you’ve made of him. “Such a good girl, Mhmm, I love it when you look at me as I fuck your face like this, It is truly a beautiful sight, darling,” He praised. The praise sent shivers down your spine, but it felt relieving for you who has always craved for it. You wanted to smile back at him, but considering that you will only gag and choke, you just stared into his eyes. Your hands wrapped around his base as you neared the end.

You could feel the tip of his cock almost touching the back of your throat and you could feel it vibrating inside your mouth, signaling that he was going to cum any minute. Zhongli’s tugs on your hair was becoming harder and the grip became firm enough to pull you back. “Touch yourself, Y/N,” He ordered, trying his best not to stutter as sweat dripped down his forehead caused by the temperature.  The order was strange, but your eyes widened as you gladly obliged. 

You started to rub eights around your clit as you continued until it hit the back of your mouth. In unison, you and Zhongli both moaned, your moan sending off vibration on his cock as your hair was tugged. You could sense that he was all ready to cum, but in that one tug, he released his cock from your mouth ever so suddenly— leaving your mouth empty despite the saliva that coated your lips. 

Your chest heaved as you watched his do the same while controlling your own breath. You heard Zhongli let out a huff and a laugh came out of his mouth as he stared at you who was still on their knees. “Why’d you pull me away?” you queried, “Was it ba—”. It was quickly cut off by him leaning down and crashing his lips to yours. You welcomed him immediately, taking his hand and helped yourself up. 

He kissed you abruptly, with a little more force on his tongue than before as they danced with yours. You nipped at his lips, pulling him closer by his shoulders and running your hands over his body while he led you closer to the bed. “Hah, no, darling it was perfect, your mouth never fails to satisfy me but—” he spun you around and strode towards you, making you stumble backwards and hit the wood of the bed, “—I think it’s time that we move on to the main attraction, shall we?”. 

Your cheeks flushed bright red at his sentence as you nodded shyly. “Hm? We’ve done this many times by now, sweetheart. There’s no room to be shy now,” he tucked the strands of hair that covered your face behind your ear before whispering seductively, “lay back.”

Barely seconds later, you were laid out on the bed, your head on the pillow with Zhongli towering over you as he kissed down your body, eliciting little sounds from you. You carefully traced over his skin that glimmered even in the dark, like he was gilded. 

He gently kissed your inner thighs, spreading them wide open for him to fill later. “You smell nice, dear, may I have a taste?” you could feel his hot breath so close to it as he spoke. “Mhm…Ahh~” he did not wait a single moment before laying his tongue on you. It moved expertly up and down, licking and tasting making squelching sounds below. 

“Oh, Archons,” it escaped your mouth as you gripped the sheets, quivering when Zhongli held back his chuckle. He was and still is one of them after all, it must’ve been quite funny. “So sweet,” he complimented as he raised his head that was in between your thighs, “I think you’re all ready for me.”

You instantly nod your head, “Yes— yes please. I’ve been waiting for you all night please, please, fuck me,”. Your last string of words made him pause in the middle of his position shift. “What?” you asked. He shook his head instead, you noticed a small smile appearing on his face as he positioned himself ready, “Nothing, I was just about to ask for you to say it but…seems like you’ve already memorized my moves.”

Upon hearing him, you returned the smile, “It seems like I have, when are you going to—.”

A moan fleed from your throat, cutting the sentence off as Zhongli shoved his cock inside you with a shaky breath. His entrance was roughly warned, that made little droplets form in the corners of your eyes. The painful feeling was eased by the look and smile on his face as he whispered, “That’s it, good girl. Can I move now?”. “W-wait—,” you stuttered out a reply before slightly squeezing your eyes. 

“Yes, I—you can move and there’s no need—to hold back on me,”.

As soon as those words came out, he started to move inside you. His hands were holding your hips down while he angled different ways. “I’m going to make you all mine tonight. I’m going to make you forget all the other people who you sold your time to and only I will remain in your thoughts,” his words made a promise, “You, are so…tight down there, we haven’t been at it for a while,”. He placed a wet kiss on your shoulder, slightly sucking on the spot that will surely make a bruise in the morning. “We haven’t,” you managed to reply, too deep into the moment and drowned in the view of him pounding into your pussy while keeping eye contact. 

Your hands remained on his back as you squeezed down on his cock, hearing him let out the sounds that only you will ever hear. In between labored breaths and sighs, he would whisper dirty ideas and praises into your ear that somehow has always made you buck your hips even harder at him. To make it a fair trade, you’d let him hear you tell him to go faster, but the request will only backfire. 

“Forgive me, then. Let me make it up to you, yeah?” he started to pick-up the pace, and the temperature escalated in the room. “Mhmmm, yes,” you moaned, “Faster, please,”. You expected him to speed up his pace, but all he did was clearly not what you requested. Instead, he slowed down his pace and lightly chuckled as the look in your face descended to confusion and desperation. “What a greedy little thing you are, Y/N,” he interposed. 

It wasn’t long until he suddenly went back to his previous pace, but it was far too different to be called the previous one. He was fucking into you like there was no tomorrow. He swiftlty grabbed your wrists, pinning them over you and melted his lips with yours together. You could’ve sworn you heard yourself let out a squeal of surprise as he did so. “Ah~ S-slow down!” the tone of your voice was higher as well being enveloped with pleasure and lust. But Zhongli seemed like he did not hear you. He instead tamped down on you harder. “Huh, didn’t you want me to go faster?” He brought up, “Mhm, how does this feel?”.

A wave of satisfaction and pleasure rushed over you, crashing as he hit one special spot inside.

It didn’t stop there. He continued to fuck and pound into you, even at some point— made you scream his name over and over. “Come on, squeze,” he ordered as he leaned his body onto yours. You obeyed, as once again, you felt something building up in your stomach as he did the routine over. You noticed how he has been, too. 

His breathing was low, and his moans were louder and unstrained, unlike the ones when you two had only began. Yours was shaky, and you had goosebumps all over your skin which he too had noticed. 

“Ahh, Zhongli I’m going to—,” you gasped as he hit your g-spot again, “I’m going to—,”. 

“Me too,” He affirmed as the bed creaked in the background, “Cum with me,”.

All you could do was nod when he started to count. 

One, two,

“Three, Cum with me,” The rest of it was cut off by the loud harmony in the room. Your eyes fluttered shut as you reached your climax, his load shooting inside you and all you saw was stars, and when you opened them, what you saw was the pair of amber eyes that shone above you. The pair of arms held you as you two rode your highs together.

At the end of it, Zhongli pulled out slowly, placing a kiss on your forehead as he did so. He laid beside you, turned  his head and smiled as he opened his arms for you to snuggle into. Mutters of “I love you” were exchanged as he softly brushed your hair. The two of you stayed silent like this for a few minutes, before he got up to get a cloth to clean you up. 

You were far too tired to keep your eyes open widely as he ran the warm cloth on your skin, but in a glimpse of an eye, there was a golden light that shone even in the dark of the night from him. It was warm and comforting; unlike your past that was in burning red, unlike your world that used to be black and white.

It was golden.
