Chapter 148: The Last Night
"Dominic, you’re so cute," Shiao Yi would say before kissing him again.
Only Shiao Yi ever said Dominic was cute.
Everyone else only feared him.
No one had ever loved him, let alone called him adorable.
But those words gave Dominic permission to depend on him. Though Dominic was six years older than Shiao Yi, he clung to him like a small child, allowing himself to be comforted.
To Dominic, Shiao Yi was his one and only, his beloved lover, his comrade, his wife, and his God above all.
Meeting Shiao Yi was the greatest fortune of his life, a miracle.
For the first time, Dominic felt he could believe in the existence of gods who ruled this world.
The deep need to confirm that Shiao Yi was truly real became directly tied to his desire for him.
Dominic sought Shiao Yi often, embracing him as much as time allowed.
At the start of their journey back to Rosaria, he would spend nearly every moment from evening until the brink of departure holding him, sometimes crushing him in his arms.
Yet Shiao Yi never resisted.
Even half-conscious, he still accepted Dominic’s need.
Being inside Shiao Yi’s hot body, feeling the strong beat of his pulse, hearing his voice and breath, and touching the living proof of him made Dominic weep in relief.
Shiao Yi was truly there.
More than lust, it was Dominic’s soul itself that demanded him.
Throughout the journey, Dominic never let him go.
While walking, he carried him in his arms.
In the carriage, he never let him off his lap.
In the bed, he held him close, and through the night, they joined as one.
Because of that, perhaps, Dominic’s heart began to grow more stable.
The nights of endless passion slowed, giving way to more time for rest.
But when he slept, nightmares came to him.
He saw again the moment Shiao Yi was shattered to pieces by Dominic’s own magic.
Again and again, he saw his beloved vanish within that white, blinding light.
In the dark, he searched desperately for Shiao Yi, but no matter how far he walked, he could never find him.
Only the freezing darkness surrounded him, crushing him in despair.
He became afraid of sleep.
He feared that if he closed his eyes, he would never wake again, and the dream of Shiao Yi alive beside him would turn out to be false.
At first, every time he slept, the nightmares returned. But always, no matter how deep his torment, Shiao Yi was there to drive the darkness away.
He kissed Dominic, held him with his whole warm body, and chased away the despair.
Every time, Dominic felt relief, sinking again into drowsiness within Shiao Yi’s warmth.
And slowly, the nightmares began to fade.
In fact, these last two nights, Dominic had been able to sleep without a single bad dream.
Tomorrow, after entering the fortress southwest of Rosaria, Dominic and the others would return the carriage to Pristina City.
There, they would part ways with Aaron and continue on horseback toward Rosalith.
From Pristina to Rosalith, it would take less than five days if they rode hard.
But riding on horseback meant that even if Shiao Yi rode with Dominic and being held safely in his arms, they couldn’t push themselves too much.
Which also meant that tonight would probably be the last time for a while that Dominic could love Shiao Yi slowly and without rushing.
Shiao Yi must have sensed the heat that had lit up from Dominic’s lower body.
"Hey, Dominic. Let’s take a bath first? I want to wash off the sweat and feel fresh."
Now that he thought about it, the room did have a bath.
It had been a long time since they had used one.
Unfortunately, the tub was too small for the two of them to bathe together.
When Dominic told him to go first, Shiao Yi happily rushed off to the bath.
That childlike side of him was so cute.
While waiting, Dominic prepared for the night.
He set a small glass bottle of Biofresh Crimson Oil Deluxe Edition—something he had once received from Sayu—beside the bed.
He hadn’t used it since then, but tonight seemed like the right time.
Why had he brought it?
Because when he set out on this journey with Shiao Yi, he had hoped for a chance like this.
A man’s foresight, so to speak.
When Shiao Yi came out from the bath, Dominic found him sitting on the bed holding the oil.
His face kept turning red and then pale, full of shy expressions.
Dominic couldn’t help but think he was adorable.
Just how far did Shiao Yi intend to tease him?
Shiao Yi’s face flushed deeply with embarrassment and desire, his eyes glistening.
He let the robe fall, which showing his naked white body.
Dominic could see that Shiao Yi’s little dragon is already standing hard.
Looking at this scene Dominic immediately pushed him down onto the bed.
He realized that he might be wouldn’t allowed Shiao Yi to sleep much tonight.
Still, he tried to control himself and starting with a kiss.
Their lips met softly at first, but it quickly deepened, turning hungry kiss for each other.
Even while kissing, Dominic found himself grinding his already hardening giant dragon against Shiao Yi’s thigh.
Why did he want him this much? Night after night wasn’t enough.
He wanted to stay like this forever, until the end of time.
He dipped his fingers into the oil and slowly inserting them into Shiao Yi’s back entrance while kissing his neck and chest as he prepared him.
Shiao Yi immediately raising his hips as Dominic poured more of the oil inside him.
Shiao Yi’s back entrance that was already used to Dominic’s giant dragon shape from their battle every night accepted him easily and the oil making it more easy even more.
When Dominic left a red mark of his ownership on Shiao Yi’s chest, Shiao Yi cried out in a high voice, his body shuddering as he reached his climax from just that stimulation.
