[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER]

***

Li Ming stood against the corridor wall as she tried to calm down her emotions which were ready to spill.

"Are you alright?"

Heaven Emperor's voice made her turn towards her right to look at the man in long golden robes whose entire persona screamed power and control.

"I think so."

She replied as she breathed out a sigh before straightening up to fix her hair and gown.

She felt fingers trailing down her temple to her chin before her mate entangled their hands and within the next minute, they were no longer standing in the corridor.

"Thank you."

She whispered with her voice filled with softness.

"Are you busy right now?" She asked as they entered a spacious sitting area.

"Since the banquet is over, I think I have enough free time in my hands to spend with you right now. The others would join us in the next few hours." Heaven Emperor replied.

Li Ming did not waste any more time as she immediately circled her hands around his waist as she let her head rest on his solid chest.

As strong arms came to pull her tightly in his warm embrace, she felt her body relaxing, followed by her heart and soul.

"Everything is going to be alright. Don't burden yourself, my love." Heaven Emperor told her as he rubbed her back softly.

Li Ming raised her head to look at her handsome mate as she replied, "For some reason, my heart just could not calm down. No matter how hard I'm trying to make myself believe that we will sort out everything together, it's no longer able to make my soul calm down. I'm really worried about Hei Long and Demon Realm, even Ruoshan. I....."

She trailed off as a long slender finger landed on her lips.

The Heaven Emperor let his finger linger on her soft pink lips as he planted a soft kiss on his fiancee's forehead.

"Let's call a meeting with the others in the evening and we all will head to the Demon Realm tomorrow morning to talk with him. Alright?"

Li Ming stayed silent for a few minutes before she nodded her head softly.

She knew very well that the Second Demon Prince was not going to appreciate their surprise visit, but at this point, she no longer cared.

They needed to find a cure to his curse soon and the demon realm could no longer stand the darkness that was on the verge of taking over.

"You look tired."

The Heaven Emperor spoke in a soft voice as his fingers caressed her soft cheeks. His eyes settled on her lips that immediately created an urge to claim them.

He took in a deep breath to pull himself together before he looked into her eyes which were looking back at him with so much warmth and love.

Li Ming let one of her hands cup his jaw as she spoke, "You don't have to stop yourself. Especially when I'm all yours."

As soon as these words left her lips she found herself pressed against his hard and warm body as his lips finally claimed hers in a warm embrace.

She let both of her hands circle his shoulders before she plastered her frame against his, deepening the kiss in the process as her tongue asked for an entrance.

Her mate did not shy away this time as he immediately parted his lips to grant her tongue the access that it wanted.

A moan escaped her lips as the two of them indulged in their kiss that was making their needs for each other became far too stronger for them to ignore.

Li Ming found her hands traveling across his shoulders as they rested on the collar of his outer robe.

She pulled lightly on his robe before she separated their lips to ask, "May I?"

Her eyes were filled with the dark fire and need that clearly represented his feelings for her.

The two of them were experiencing the same hunger and want for each other. Their souls calling each other to complete their half bonds.

"Are you sure?"

Heaven Emperor asked as he stopped himself from giving in to his need.

Li Ming immediately nodded her head in reply to his question.

"I'm more than sure. It's time that we should complete our bond too. I need you...!"

Her lips were again attacked by the wet and warm tongue to her mate, making her moan as her body started reacting to his proximity.

The Heaven Emperor let a huge golden ball of spiritual energy flew from his hands, immediately covering the room with a protective ward.

He helped her in taking his outer robe off before his hands wrapped around her waist to pull her against his body.

Li Ming's hands loosened the collar of his inner robe before taking off his belt, making the robe came undone.

Her palms immediately touched the bare skin of his collarbone, making both of them moan at the contact with made pleasure run through their bodies.

Their kiss deepened as one by one they shed their accessories and clothes. Their hands caressing each other as they enjoyed the tingles of pleasure that were running through their bodies.

It did not take long before the of them found themselves laying on the huge bed inside the guest bed-chamber where Li Ming was currently staying as a special guest of the Golden Palace.

"Mmmmm..."

The moaning and harsh breathing of the Heaven Emperor filled the bed-chamber as his hands grabbed the bedsheets while he let his mate devour his body.

Her lips trailed down his jaw to his neck before her tongue and teeth decided to come out and play with the tender skin of his nape.

His collarbone and nipples also got proper attention from his woman before her soft warm lips once again started a journey towards the south.

The Heaven Emperor felt his body erupting in flames as her slender fingers found their way around his hard rod, giving it a slight tug before they started moving up and down, making him groan due to pleasure.

Looked like his junior brothers had already ruined their mate.

He thought as he looked at the beautiful girl who was pleasuring him with her eyes sparkling with happiness as he groaned at the sensations.

Only if he knew!
