Wen Reian

2019 years after The Long Night

Hêi’àn Palace

Lan Kai-Le had not stopped touching Reian for the last six hours, and usually he would find that excessive, except that the man was being incredibly loving about it. In truth, Reian didn’t really mind. On the contrary, he was enjoying feeling the hunter’s body heat and listening to his soft little breaths, the way that Lan Kai-Le seemed to mold himself against him…

Reian had finished in the forest earlier than expected this morning, and the moment he’d slunk back inside the palace he was being accosted by Lan Kai-Le’s warm hug, the man carrying him back to their room and proceeding to snuggle Reian half to death.

After trying to explain that he still had some work to do today and getting nowhere, Reian had ended up giving in and lying in bed most of the afternoon while Kai-Le played with his hair.

At last when he’d tried getting up, the man went with him. Holding Reian around his waist, pressing his face against his back and not even parting when Reian said he was going downstairs to get lunch. Lan Kai-Le had sat him on his own when they got to the kitchen, so Reian ate fast just to get out of public faster.

Now, the healer was sitting cross-legged on the bed, going through his current patient list and trying to decide which ones he should continue seeing long-distance and which he’d need to pass over to Songcai.

Lan Kai-Le had his front pressed to Reian’s back. His arms around the man’s waist and legs there too, like some sort of clingy monkey. Reian liked being close to him, it was incredibly calming, and he really didn’t think anything of it after so long when the hunter began nuzzling his face into Reian’s hair…

“Jier Meung should go to Songcai,” Reian was muttering to himself again. “Yes, I’ll have to see when he’s able to… hmm, K-Kai-Le??”

Without realizing until now that the man was untying Reian’s robes one by one, the healer jumped a bit in shock when he felt warm hands scalding his upper chest. Lan Kai-Le moaned in his ear, feeling Wen Rei up as if it was the first time he’d ever touched something so perfect.

With shaking hands, Reian tossed his papers gently on the floor, listening to them flutter as he attempted to turn around. Lan Kai-Le’s arms still held him tight as his hands swept over heated skin, fingers rough with callouses and yet somehow delicate.

“Kai-Le? You really want to touch me, but did you know that I want to touch you as well?”

Reian said this softly, wondering if maybe he should just be silent. After he spoke he felt a soft shudder pass from Kai-Le’s body into his, the man suddenly pulling Reian face to face with him so that Reian was practically sitting on the hunter’s lap again.

Gasping a little at the amount of longing in the man’s eyes, Wen Rei ended up swallowing thickly, desire rising hot and heavy in his body as Lan Kai-Le gently took off Reian’s upper clothes.

“Mmmmmn…”

Reian wasn’t sure if Kai-Le knew he was humming softly, it sounded like he couldn’t help it. Reian looked on in fascination as the man examined every bare inch of his chest, shoulders and arms, a curious gentleness in his touch that made the healer shiver.

“Lan-Le?” Reian exhaled.

The man’s shadowy eyes flickered up to his at once, as he panted softly.

“Lay down, lay on your back…” Reian shivered, carefully adding; “Trust me.”

Kai-Le did so, Reian making sure he was comfortable before climbing on top of him. Like this, it was as if Reian was sitting on his lap like earlier, but also like this, it was clear they had other things on their mind now than lunch.

Reian tried to support himself over Kai-Le, but the man just pulled him straight down on top of him so that they were touching at every point, chests flush together, Kai-Le immediately reaching up and capturing Reian’s lips with his own in a bruising kiss that sent the last of Reian’s common sense out the window. He could feel Kai-Le’s heart pounding against his own chest as their tongues flickered out shyly to taste…

Melting, his whole body easing into the warmth, Wen Rei began to tentatively sway his hips, matching the rhythm of their kissing and very slowly rubbing himself on Kai-Le’s thigh. It was more of an instinct than a decision, but when at last Kai-Le noticed it, it was far too late for Reian to claim it wasn’t on purpose.

Just want to be wrapped up in his arms, in his warmth forever… How can he taste so good?!

Lan Kai-Le held Reian tightly, carefully rolling them both so that they lay side by side, lips still hungrily exploring, capturing gasps and trading sighs. Aware of the sizzling heat between them, and the terrifying yet glorious fact that he was already half-hard, Wen Reian wrapped his arms around Kai-Le’s neck, pulling their bodies so close that it was only natural for Reian to feel the man’s own arousal pressing firmly into his leg…

“Mmmffhh-”

Finding that he was not anxious, embarrassed, or confused in any way by what they were doing, only massively turned on by it, made Reian incredibly happy. So happy that he ended up smiling, tears springing to his eyes while he continued to sip at Kai-Le’s molten hot tongue between his lips.

Never thought… I’d feel like this, not just attracted to someone physically, but actually in love with them and who they are. Wanting to make love to their body, mind, and soul all at once-

Hands pressing firmly against the small of Reian’s back, Lan Kai-Le growled again, momentarily throwing Reian off guard as the hunter nudged his knee between Reian’s legs. Feeling Kai-Le’s thigh slip in between, pushing his legs apart, and then the friction it created against Reian’s still-clothed member, was almost too much for the poor man to handle. He’s been without sensation or desire for so long, it was all coming to the surface now, bubbling over and boiling in its intensity.

Moaning loudly into the other’s mouth, Wen Rei hooked his own leg overtop of Kai-Le’s, frantically arching his hips, pressing against him, grinding into both of their most pleasurable areas at once.

“Hhhnm…”

Reian was flushed all over, and the sensation of having his legs parted, even just this much, was sending flutters of warmth deep inside his body to where he longed for Lan Kai-Le with a desire bordering on insanity.

The man in question wasn’t holding back either, encouraging Reian to ride his thigh by pulling and pressing roughly at the healer’s back. While they kissed breathily, wet, open-mouthed and full of heavy sighs, Wen Rei hissed suddenly as the pleasure spiked-

Oh god, oh fuck…

Lan Kai-Le’s strong thigh between his legs, giving him just the right amount of friction, the man’s own length throbbing against him, even Lan-Le’s brutal little kisses as his rough and needy hands urged Reian closer with desperate tugs. It was all too perfect!

I could come just from this…

Like he’d been stripped away to his barest, basest materials, Wen Reian began clumsily yanking at Kai-Le’s clothes. When the hunter saw what he was doing he wasted absolutely no time helping Reian, until they were at last both naked from the waist up.

With such an eye-catching, honey-colored body on display for him to admire, Wen Reian nearly drooled over every single inch of the man’s immaculate form. His muscles were extremely visible, the hard lines of abdominal muscles, flexing and rippling as he breathed. His beautiful collarbones, strong shoulders with that tattoo… those small dusky nipples, the skin around them pebbled up as if he was cold, but Reian knew that Lan Kai-Le burned hot.

Finally able to press his bare chest against the man’s, Reian whimpered softly as he continued to rub and twist and press just right against him, growing absolutely feverish when he felt Lan Kai-Le’s hands slide down and into the back of his trousers.

“Ah!”

It was enough to make him bite down on his own lip to silence a cry of surprise, the hunter’s huge hands pinching and kneading the soft flesh of his ass. Reian could only cling tightly to the man’s shoulders as his body shivered and shook violently, demanding more, demanding closer…

Having broken away momentarily from his mouth, Wen Rei surged up again, dragging his tongue all across Kai-Le’s parted lips, licking into his mouth, and causing the man to sigh, a sound that Reian captured greedily.

Those impossibly strong hands on his ass, tugged and kneaded gently, but Reian wished beyond anything else that Lan Kai-Le would go even further. So much further-

He doesn’t know how to touch me, he doesn’t know what I want. How I wish his hands would pull harder, a finger slipping gently inside-

Just the idea made Reian moan, fingernails digging deep into the skin on Kai-Le’s arms as the healer suddenly felt wetness on his own leg, his erection leaking pitifully, too eager to come.

I want to… do that with him. Both of us, at the same time-

Aware that while he was getting off rubbing against Kai-Le’s thigh, the hunter was doing the same; grinding his own erection against Wen Reian as his hands continued to knead and pull.

Reian wanted their first time together to be something incredibly special. He wanted to make Lan Kai-Le feel loved, cared for and wanted... he knew where and when he wanted to do it too, and it wasn’t right now. However, that didn’t mean they couldn’t come together now, just that Reian was going to have to practice some very intense self-restraint in a minute.

The healer broke from the kiss, panting loudly into Lan Kai-Le’s ear as he whispered-

“A little harder... go a little harder, I’m gonna cum-”

Kai-Le swallowed audibly, going to forcefully move Reian up and down against his thigh, squeezing his ass so hard Wen Rei was sure he’d have fingernail marks and angry red handprints on each cheek by tomorrow. The thought was a nice once...

Closing his eyes and sighing, feeling his cock twitch again, all the stimulation getting the better of him, Reian reached down between their bodies, shifting so that he could still ride Lan Kai-Le but also have enough room to cup his hand over the hunter’s erection.

The man hissed sharply, ducking his head and seeming to be very fascinated watching as Wen Reian palmed him, quickly and unceremoniously.

He’s fucking huge, what the hell am I supposed to do with it?!

Reian’s worries were squashed entirely when he realized he could feel the tip throbbing, painfully hot through the man’s trousers; practically poking a hole in the fabric.

If I tried to put that inside he’d end up poking a hole through me-

Tabling that thought for now, Wen Rei focused again on his aim; it was becoming clear that neither of them were going to last very long. Lan Kai-Le was still watching Reian’s hand as he touched him. Reian was currently in the process of pushing back against the man’s hands, trying desperately to convey that he needed Lan Kai-Le to press even just one finger against his hole...

Hff! He’s never going to get it if I don’t tell him, and I shouldn’t expect him too-

Trying to speak, Reian ended up crying out in passion as he felt Lan Kai-Le’s thumb press against that spot suddenly, likely by accident. He needed more!

“Lan-Le!” He whimpered pitifully, “Again, deeper…”

Still moving his hand at the wrist between them, Wen Rei suddenly froze, his toes curling and eyes squeezing shut at the feeling of the hunter’s hands on his ass, pulling enough to press both thumbs against the tightness there. He heard Kai-Le groan low in his throat, a kind of thunderous rumbly sound that made Reian’s heart leap-

God, oh gods...

Unable to even process how good it felt; Kai-Le’s large fingers slowly opening him up, smoothing the edges, rubbing inside, Wen Reian huffed breathily as he somehow snuck his own trembling hand into the front of Kai-Le’s pants.

“Mhm…”

A soft sigh, like a gust of wind, floated past his ears. Lan Kai-Le moaned again when Reian first attempted to wrap his hand around the shaft, then chose instead to rub and press at the base.

I can’t even fit my entire hand around him, fuck! Thank god we’re not doing it tonight-

This was the last thought in Reian’s mind before pleasure exploded like a million tiny fireworks, wringing him out of all energy, suspending him in one everlasting moment where his ears rang and every muscle in his body tightened for what felt like forever. Small tremors made their way through him, hips jerking a few times and then growing still. As the tidal wave faded, Reian thought he could faintly hear the sound of someone calling his name...

It was the first time he’d come on purpose in years. He’d genuinely forgotten how sensitive he got after, and feeling Lan Kai-Le’s warm hands on his skin, his soft lips on his cheek, made Wen Reian immediately burst into blissful, happy tears.

Collapsing and burrowing his way against the man’s bare chest, Reian breathed in deeply, still trying to sort through the swirling amount of joy in his body. As his hearing came back, he heard Lan Kai-Le say his name again, this time with a touch of panic in his voice-

“Wen Reian?! Wen…”

The healer used all his strength to blink the tears from his eyes, tilt his head, and look up at Kai-Le. The hunter was flushed head to toe, sweat beading on his forehead and the most adorable, wide-eyed, stunned expression on his face that made Reian’s heart go all fuzzy and soft.

“Ah, sorry I-”

About to apologize lamely for not waiting to go over together, Reian’s breath caught when he realized he could feel something warm and wet against his thigh, and not because of him! Beaming, blushing and incredibly relieved, Wen Rei gaped up at Lan Kai-Le who was staring at him openly, emotions on display.

“You did come!”

The man just blinked. That was when Reian realized that Lan Kai-Le might not even know what he was talking about...

Hugging the man tight, pressing his cheek against his warm chest, Wen Reian exhaled comfortably, wanting to drift off to sleep right then and there without even washing which was something he normally found abhorrent.

“Doesn’t matter,” he grinned. “All that matters is that it was wonderful. Don’t you think, Lan-Le?”

Reian was fading fast, mumbling and sighing incoherently, enjoying Kai-Le’s hands that were now tracing up and down the length of his spine.

“You were really good, and next time I can show you other things we can do. Want to? Ah, it’s okay if we wait too… we have all the time in the world, Lan-Le.”

The healer was asleep in a matter of seconds, embarrassingly enough. He’d just zonked out right after coming in his pants, hardly something to feel proud of, and yet he was strangely amazed by what they had done tonight.

And to think, at one point in time I genuinely thought it was in my best interest to push Lan Kai-Le out of a two-story window! The universe really did me a solid by not letting him die after that, heh-

Swaddled in the man’s warmth, love and peace soaking into every single inch of his skin, Wen Reian made up his mind in that moment about a lot of things, far too many to decide about when you’re half-crazed and half-asleep.

I am going to be with this man, Reian decided dreamily.

I’m going to do what I have to, so that at the end of every day I can fall asleep just like this, safe in his arms, where I belong...

I will love him the way he was meant to be loved; passionately, deeply, maybe a little too much. Until he one day he can ask me why I love him, and I can say... because for me, there wasn’t any other choice.
