Chapter 167: Kiss? Or More?

"What are you doing here?" Aqua squealed. Shw grew a little tensed. 

He pulled her inside, moving aside the clothes and finding space for two. 

"What are you doing Huo'er?" She managed two stand on her two feet. "I thought you left," she said.

"I came back, but you were asleep, I did not have the heart to leave," he said looking at her.

"I.. you could have woken me up," she said smiling. 

"I could not do that," he said pulling her closer, and he hugged her.

"Huo," she called him.

"Hmm..," he did not ask anything else, living the moment. 

"Huooooo..." she called again. 

"Don't disturb me, am..." but he stopped.

"Aqua," Queen Rivera walked inside the room. 

"Mom," she said. "It's mom," she said. She asked Huo to keep silence and hid him behind the clothes while he kept laughing, enjoying watching her. She covered up and she opened the door and got out holding a gown in her hand. 

"Jeez, Aqua," Queen Rivera almost shouted in fear seeing her walking out like a zombie would. "What were you doing in there?" She asked looking suspicious. 

"I was looking for this gown, I searched and I could not get it, so I went inside to look for it, I managed to get it," she said and exhaled. 

"Really?" Queen Rivera raised her brows. 

"Mom what are you doing here?" She interrupted her mother in the middle changing the topic.

"Oh yes, that, I forgot to tell you that you do not have to come out for lunch," Rivera said. "Father said he is busy and not going to have lunch with family, so you can stay in the room, I will ask the maids to bring the food for you," she informed everything. 

"Oh," Aqua was disappointed. She did not say anything else. She just gave the smile and nodded her head. She expected her mother to call her out to lunch with her. But Queen Rivera did not think of that. Aqua felt upset but covered it up. "It's okay, I will ask the maids to Yuri the food when am hungry," she said.

"Okay, I will let you shower then," she said and walked outside. Aqua said goodbye and locked the door. She did not want anyone to come inside at all. She made sure that nobody can open it and hurried towards her wardrobe.

"Come out," she ordered him. He moved away the clothes and stepped out.

He was laughing. 

"What?" She asked him.

"Nothing, imagine if your mother caught me," he kept laughing. 

She hit him again.

'Arghh,' he made a sound. And rubbed his arms where she hit him. And she laughed along with him. He put him arms around and stood there looking at him. "Your eyes look sad," he noticed them easily. He lifted her chin and looked to her eyes, while she kept trying to hide them, looking away. "Look at me," he said and she did. She looked at his sparkling eyes that had the question. "What happened?" He asked her again. "Everything okay?" He wanted to know.

"Hmm," she nodded. Everything is fine," she smiled. He knew that she was lying. 

"No, it's not," he said firmly. "You don't seem okay," and he lifted her chin again when she turned her head slowly, trying to escape. "Hey," 

"Huo, I don't know, I feel avoided," she finally said it. "Pa is not speaking with me, mom and Milan visit me, Aiden has not come to this at all, I can't step out like I always did, I have a thousand rules to follow now, it's all so suffocating," she opened up. 

"Then come with me," he said.

"Huo, seriously," she got irritated. "You think it's easy to throw away and come with you, don't you know my position, and my work, don't say it again," she scolded him. 

"Hey, no I didn't mean that way, I just wanted to console you," he tried explaining. She turned away angrily. 

"This is why I hate sharing my thoughts with anyone," she said folding her arms against the chest.

"Aqua, don't say that, no I did not mean that you should leave and run away with me, I was trying to.." but she stopped him.

"Fine, I get it," she said. He realized the depths of her frustration. And he had nothing to offer at that moment. He realized how lonely she is. He realized how angry she is at everything and how hurt she is for every thing people do to her. He did not say any words further. He simply walked towards and hugged her. A back hug to calm down her flames. He kept his head on her shoulders and kissed her neck. 

"I love you," he said. And he saw her smile. She touched him arms wrapped around her hips and she turned her head towards the left and kissed him. 

"I love you too," she said those words back to him. "More than you can imagine," she added.

"Really?" He started teasing her. "More than I can imagine? Ok I will show you my imaginations I have right now, tell me if tops yours," he said scooped her into his arms. 

"Huo'er," she bursted out in laughter. "Huo no," 

He put her back into her bed and laid next to her. They laid there in silence for sometime while holding her hands and playing with her fingers. 

"Great imagination, but mine tops yours anyway," she mocked him by mistake which led to his act of the wildest imagination. 

"I will show today," he said and he took his cloak and the clothes off, displaying his bare, hot and ripped body. She gasped. He leaned down, taking her off guard and kissed her. He kissed her deep while his right hand worked on her dress, taking them away, and throwing them off. In a minute, she laid naked under him. 

Love is not just words, not just actions, but two souls intertwined as one, in a language that only they know how to communicate.

Love is a rhythm of one's life, that brings joy in any moment, carrying you away to another world, where there are no sorrows, where there are only happiness that brings butterflies in your stomach, smile on you lips, happy tear streaming down the eyes, a gasp that escapes the mouth, and the lightening that's sent to your body.

Love is love. Only more and nothing less. 

"Huo,' Aqua moaned as slid his arms down her body, caressing her. She trembled under his touch and laughed whenever he teased and tickeled her. He kissed her belly button and went further down her navel. A moan escaped her mouth again. 

"Is this your wildest imagination?" She managed to ask him gripping on the bed spread tight. 

"Wait for more," he warned her kissed her down there. Aqua covered her mouth with her hands to stop herself from shouting out. She shut her eyes tight and bit her lip as she felt his tongue below her body. "Oh my god," she gasped. He came back to her again and kissed her neck. She ran her hands over him. She kissed his lips while he slowly entered her. She bit his lips and his ear, and she accidentally scarchted his arms. Then he put her hands above her head, exploring her all over again. His wildest imagination did beat hers. They laid there for an hour. In each others arms. She sat up and sat across him. She was no longer shy to he naked in front of him. She reached for him neck, pulled him closer and kissed his lips. And she leaned her head on his. He always made her forget the kind of life she leads, in every single way he could, though words, action or signs, he just have to be there for her to melt. To smile without a heavy heart and to be her real self. Huo suddenly took her in his arms again and got off the bed. He walked straight towards the bath. He stepped into the pool of warm water and settled her down. "Get ready before mother comes again," he advised her. But she was in a great mood to keep playing with him. She splashed water on him and pulled him closer taking the lead.

Unaware of the time running away locked inside her room, having fun in her own world with him. She did not know that it is past noon already. He helped her dry her hair and helped her put on her gown. He chose a white gown for her that had thick white crescent moon embroidery on them.

"I will try doing the hair," he said and played with it, in the end, nothing happened, except the fact that they sat and laughed for a really long time. She got ready and helped him get ready. She took his top and handed. That's when the door opened. The Water Princess and the Demon King stood still. Shocked and he, embarrassed, displaying his body. 

"What the.." she opened her mouth and withdrew her hand from his chest.
