Chapter 44 - Until Dawn

“Ahh! Ahhh…” I moaned loudly at the sensation of the length of his cock sliding against the slit of my love entrance.

How can this feel so good? His cock had not entered my love hole but as he moved his hips, his large shaft slid up and down my wet slit stimulating it.

“Your pussy is so wet…it’s so warm…” Ren whispered lustily as his hips began thrusting against my ass faster and harder.

The head of his cock hit against my sensitive clit, making me scream in ecstasy. Although his cock has not entered me, it felt like we were really coupling as our bodies rocked together. I never knew that humans could mate in this position…so wild…just like animals.

I felt my body burn with passion as my hips moved and grinded against his. Ren’s moans were getting louder just as his wild thrusting became more aggressive. The hotness of his cock rubbing against my sensitive area was driving me crazy with intense pleasure.

I knew that it wouldn’t be long before I lost myself in this paradise. I felt my wetness gush out from my love hole and I grabbed onto the bedsheets tightly as I cried out in abandon.

“Let’s cum together, Rin,” Ren whispered when he sensed that I was nearing my climax

Ren panted and moaned as he pumped hips faster, grinding his thick and hot cock faster against my pussy opening. I cried out his name as my climax hit me. I heard my name at the same time that I felt Ren’s hot seed spurting in between my inner thighs.

His hot seed erupted in between my legs in streams before it trickled down my dinner thighs and onto the bedsheet below. I could see his milky release slide down my thighs…

I was exhausted from our wild lovemaking and my whole body and eyelids started to feel heavy. Ren hugged me from behind and kissed my hair as we drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

A short while later, I woke up and found that I was sleeping in Ren’s arms. It was still dark but it must be very close to dawn. With the slight movement of my body, Ren’s eyes flickered opened.

He smiled lazily at me the moment that he saw my face before he kissed my hair lovingly.

“Ren…” I whispered.

“What is it…?” Ren asked in between planting soft kissing on my bare shoulder.

“I…I’m sorry about Shin. You were right, what I did was…inappropriate…” I apologized softly.

“I don’t want to hear another man’s name while we’re still in bed together,” Ren said, his voice instantly colder than before.

“I’m sorry…” I mumbled.

“You don’t have to be. Like I said, I’ll forget what I saw and heard…” Ren said.

“Ren…will you be safe?” I asked softly.

Since the ambush, I had to admit that I was worried about Ren’s safety. Ren survived the attack with only a minor injury but who could say if he would be as lucky next time. All the things that Shin said made sense. Ren needs to take better care of himself.

“Are you worried about me?” Ren asked teasingly as ruffled my hair.

“Can you stop joking…about these things…” I replied, shyly. I was…worried about him.

“It’s just not like you to be so concerned about me,” Ren said, although he seemed pleased.

“I’m…worried…for you,” I admitted, hesitantly.

If anyone I knew was a target for an assassinated, obviously, I would be concerned.

“In this land where the emperor wields unlimited power, everyone wants to be the emperor. For one reason or another, many people yearn for power. As the one next in line to the throne, my life has been at risk since the moment that I was born,” Ren stated matter-of-factly.

I guess he was right. I never realized how tough being born the crown prince must be for Ren. This position full of privileges came with its own set of heavy burdens and responsibilities.

I rested my head on his broad shoulders as he hugged me to his side. I cuddled closer to him…

“And you? Why do you want to become the emperor” I asked. I wondered why Ren yearned for power.

“I don’t; however, I do believe that the land would be the most peaceful if I became the next emperor,” Ren said without emotions.

“More peaceful?” I whispered in question.

I found that very hard to believe as scenes from the past war in my village came back so vividly to me that I wanted to scream. I felt my temple throbbed in pain as the sight, the sound, the smell of fighting and bloodshed of that day came back to haunt me. The face of the men I failed to treat, moments before death claimed them. The hands I held before they fell limp as their bodies lost their lives. Their sticky warm blood on my hand and face. The sound of people crying out in pain in their last moments…

How was that…peaceful?

Ren started wars. He conquered land and as a result, many lives were lost. Families torn apart. War slaves just like my unfortunate self could be found everywhere…

“I don’t believe you! How can there be peace when all you do is rage war? I’ve watched so many people die at the hands of your men. Men, women and even children have been slaughtered and killed! How many villages ended up like mine and how many more?! How many more people will have to die?” I cried out as my emotions took over me.

“Rin…women should not interfere in the power struggles or men. There is nothing beautiful there for you to see,” Ren replied coldly.

“If you become the emperor, how many more wars will you wage? How many more people will die at the hands of your army? How can you say these things without a care?!,” I asked.

“I don’t blame you for your naïve view on the world, but let me tell you, Rin. War is the only way to maintain peace for our empire. Fear is the only way to control our enemies. Death is but a small price to pay…” Ren stated without emotions.

I couldn’t understand what Ren was saying. How can slaughtering people bring about peace? Won’t war just lead to more hatred and then revenge? Then there would be more war…

“War will only lead to more war and more death. It will be endless…” I said sadly as I felt tears streaming down my cheeks.

How can he not understand something so simple?

“There is no other choice, Rin. It’s fine if you do not understand. There is no need for you to understand,” Ren said coldly, unmoved by my words.

“You’re the one who doesn’t understand!” I shouted, surprised at how much my voice shook with emotions.

How can the strong ever understand the weak and their suffering?

Ren sigh loudly.

“I don’t care what you think but I would be very careful not to overstep the line if I were you. There could be very serious consequences…” Ren warned, and his tone was dark. His eyes cold.

I turned my back to him as the early morning light started streaming in from the window. I didn’t want to see him or talk to him. I didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore. Ren and I were too different. Our background, our values, our beliefs, and everything else.

“The sun has risen. Perhaps…you should leave,” I said softly with my back still turned towards him.

I heard Ren get up and leave. I didn’t see him leave. I wouldn’t have been able to see anything at all even if I had turned around as my tears streamed down my cheeks and blurred my vision.
