Chapter 324: The Wedding Night
Jude spoke the words of celebration on behalf of all three.
"Thank you. I’ll be counting on all of you from now on."
"Master, Madam, please be happy and please allow me to help you both in any way I can," Eline added.
Then Lambard said, with a wink toward Shiao Yi, "The main house of the Beaumont family is doing better now. Jenomis has become much more manageable. Because of that, I’ll be able to focus on the work here again. Lord Shiao Yi, please spar with me again sometime."
What about sparring with Dominic? Was that not needed?
"Lambard also takes care of the horses at the house next door," Eline explained. "The neighbors use carriages for their business, so they need someone skilled. Lambard has a great reputation around here for handling horses."
"That’s impressive. Well done, Lambard," Dominic said.
"No, I only do what I’m asked. But I will never neglect the work of this house," Lambard replied.
"You may judge the balance yourself. It’s only the two of us living here, plus Marengo," Dominic said.
"Yes," Lambard answered.
He then bowing his head with a pleased smile at Dominic’s words.
After dinner ended, the three servants left the house so Dominic and Shiao Yi could relax together.
From this moment on, it was time meant only for Dominic and Shiao Yi.
The two of them sat together on the large bed.
They had shared love many times before.
And yet, what was this strange awkward feeling?
For some reason, his heart was beating faster than it had the very first time their bodies had joined.
He felt more restless than on the first night they spent together in this house.
It was also different from the day they held their wedding ceremony in the village of the misty marshlands.
Even more formal than the night they had submitted their marriage application at the government office.
It was strange, now of all times, but he felt oddly shy.
Was this what people called the wedding night?
Shiao Yi seemed to feel the same way.
His movements were also stiff and unnatural.
It really was strange, considering everything.
Dominic knew every part of Shiao Yi’s body already even the small dark mole beside his navel and everything else about him.
Perhaps people were always changing little by little every day.
And because of that, feelings were also born anew again and again, growing deeper as time passed.
"Shiao Yi."
"Dominic."
Without meaning to, they spoke at the same time.
Even in moments like this, they matched perfectly.
Dominic thought that his one and only was truly adorable.
"Ah..."
"Um..."
Their voices overlapped again.
"I..."
"I was..."
They looked at each other.
For a short while, neither of them spoke, they just staring at the other’s face.
Then, at the same time, they both burst out laughing.
What a mess.
Were they children?
Or awkward teenagers confused by their first love?
They had grown stiff from this unnecessary nervousness.
What on earth were they even doing?
Dominic grabbed Shiao Yi’s body, pulled him close and pushed him down onto the bed while holding him tightly.
Words were not needed.
This was how it should be done.
When Dominic pressed his lips to Shiao Yi’s, Shiao Yi opened his mouth and welcomed him in.
Both of Shiao Yi’s hands wrapped around the back of Dominic’s head, pulling him closer as if begging for more.
Dominic continued to taste Shiao Yi’s mouth until his breath nearly ran out.
When Dominic lifted his face and looked down, Shiao Yi was completely melted, his expression soft and dazed, overflowing with intense sensual charm.
Dominic was sure his own face looked the same.
As if begging to be taken quickly, Shiao Yi reached out and began pulling off Dominic’s clothes.
Dominic also started stripping away Shiao Yi’s clothes.
His heart was racing so fast that he almost wanted to tear them apart instead.
Dominic carefully using the fragrant oil and took his time to make Shiao Yi ready to receive him.
He enjoying the sight of Shiao Yi’s glossy and flushed body as he gasped impatiently.
Shiao Yi stared straight back at Dominic with eyes like a beast ready to pounce on prey.
He’s not afraid at all and offering everything he had with sweet temptation, as if saying, eat me completely.
When Dominic pressed into his heated flesh inside Shiao Yi’s tight and soft entrace, he let out a sweet moaning.
Perhaps Dominic was the one being devoured instead.
Endless pleasure drowned both his mind and body.
"I love you."
No other words were needed.
This alone was enough.
Their bodies lost all boundaries and melted together as one.
Dominic accepted this madness, this overwhelming happiness.
That was everything.
I love you.
I love you.
No matter how much he loved him, it was still not enough.
Dominic felt that Shiao Yi was saying something, but he could not hear it clearly.
His hands clinging tightly tobhis shoulders and back.
"I can’t anymore. I’m at my limit. I’m really done. I’m going to die."
What nonsense was that?
This had only just begun.
The night was still very long.
Dominic’s love could not be expressed with something this small.
You have to accept my love Shiao Yi, he thought.
I will tell you everything, using all of myself.
"Dominic, you idiot!"
Dominic’s confession of love to Shiao Yi continued until the morning sunlight finally streamed in through the window.
That morning, Shiao Yi spoke to Dominic as he was getting ready to leave for work.
"Give me today off."
Dominic frowned suspiciously.
"What’s wrong? Did something urgent happen?"
Shiao Yi struggled with how to explain it.
It was a very vague feeling and hard to put into words.
"I don’t really know how to say it. If I had to explain, I’d say... I’m being called."
"Being called? By who?"
"I don’t know that either. But I feel like I should go. So I was thinking of heading out for a bit. Please tell His Excellency and the commander that I’m taking today off."
