1 1. Losing Control
"One candy for a copper coin, three for two copper coins, it's buy two candies get one free".
The candy seller shouted while scanning through the crowd in the market for potential buyers, just like the many other sellers in the Wu village market trying to sell their wares.
Yun Lui turned and walked up to her and bought six candies for four copper coins. He was all smiles thinking of how his crush, Xu An will react when he gives the candies to him.
He decided to go to his beloved's house first before going to his own home. He was happily skipping all the way there.
It's the Lantern festival season and tonight many people will be in the streets holding their lanterns with their wishes on them, to float them on the big Wu river or fly them high up in the sky.
Yun Lui wants to go with his beloved on this special occasion. They've been friends since their childhood even though Xu An was a male and he was a may.
He has had a crush on him for so long and tonight he intends to confess to him at the lantern festival.
When he got to Xu An's house, the servant happily opened the gate for him since he was no stranger to them.
He was ushered into the the compound and since he knew his way to Xu An's room, he went there straight.
Inside, he found someone lying on the bed but he knew instantly that, that was not his Xu An, because this one was sturdier.
As he drew closer, he noticed the strong stench of alcohol coming from the strange person on the bed.
Sensing his presence, Xu Wu quickly sprung up from his sleep, grabbed and pushed Yun Lui on the bed with his left elbow firmly pinning the intruder on the chest while his right hand held a small knife placed at his chin and he on top of the intruder.
"Who are you, and how did you find me? Did you follow me all the way here?", he asked.
He then put the knife in the left hand while still pinning the intruder to the bed, and used the right hand to search him.
Yun Lui, has never experienced such a thing before and he was so scared that he could not utter a word. Xu Wu found the wrapped candies in Yun Lui's pocket and brought it out.
"Oh, so spiking my drink at the bar was not enough, you had to follow me here too to do what exactly? To finish their incompleted job or wait, were they hoping for something else to happen?
What are these? An Aphrodisiac? A Poison?", he asked. "aahh.", he felt another sharp pain in his head. "What drug did you people spike my drink with, it's so potent".
The sharp pains were getting worse and his body was becoming hotter and hotter. When the pains minimised, he turned to the one under him.
He took in his features and he had to admit, this one was very beautiful. He had never seen any woman or may as beautiful as this and he's had his fair share of beauties all over him, he's just never been interested in them.
"So now what? Sending stronger assassins after me did not work so they resorted to using beautiful mais, huh? What was your mission by the way? Was it to kill me? Maim me so I could never return to the capital again or what? Why won't you people leave me alone?", he yelled.
His eyes trailed to the alluring collarbone of the "assassin" and he gulped. He realised that he was hard.
He knew it was because of the drug used to spike his drink but what he did not understand was that he could manage the effects when he had first drunk it and even got himself back to his home in his village.
So how come he is now unable to control himself around this person?
He knew that it was dangerous, that this one was sent by those after him, that this beauty was only a deception that will send many to their doom, but despite all the warnings he still lost his will.
He threw the knife and the candies on the floor, away from the bed and before Yun Lui realised what was happening, he smashed his hard lips against Yun Lui's succulent ones.
Yun Lui who has never been this intimate with anyone before found himself giving in to this attacker who was trying to push his tongue into his mouth, at last he lost.
Xu Wu kissed him so hard that Yun Lui was out of breath. He was panting hard when Xu Wu broke the kiss and went down to his neck and collarbone.
Xu Wu's lips were on one of Yun Lui's rose buds with one of his hands on the other nipple whilst his other hand also kneading his behind.
He was already half naked so he just took off his pants and stripped Yun Lui out of his clothes. Seeing each other's naked body now, both were filled with more lust.
Even Yun Lui had now become a willing participant. His eyes were filled with lust too, his body waiting to be filled with love and pleasure.
Yun Lui woke up to find his surroundings in pitch darkness with only a small ray of moonlight from outside serving as light.
He felt sharp pains all over his body espcially his backside but still tried to move out of the bed and leave as quietly as possible.
He managed to leave the place unseen by anyone and went straight home. The Lantern festival and the confession to his long time crush was now forgotten.
He did not talk to anyone. His thoughts muddled with the disbelief of what had just happened.
'Who was that guy even? Is he from the Xu family or perhaps a criminal that Xu An was hiding?
And how come he himself had allowed him to do all those things with him?', he thought as tears welled up in his eyes. He slowly drifted off to sleep.
