Marking Xiao

Yanmei's question almost made Xiao choke on the ginger wine, making her cough in unreserved fervor. Unladylike to say the least, but Yanmei found it adorable how flustered she got. It made her want to tease Xiao more.

Leaning on the table with both of her hands under her chin, Yanmei coquettishly smiled, "Well, I'm waiting for your answer."

This was her plan all along and although Xiao was confident in her own brand of charm, she had only one partner so far, she can't help but become bashful about it all. Xiao cast her line, Yanmei bit. What was the reason for Xiao's trepidation then? It was because Xiao could tell, instead of reeling a fish, she had caught a shark. Yanmei was dangerously mature, if she wasn't careful, Xiao might just get devoured.

Xiao gathered her resolve. But so what? Even Lin had her own brand of dominance but she was still able to dominate her from time to time.

"I do." A forthright answer to a sincere question. With her heart bared, Xiao felt vulnerable. Yanmei was now aware that Xiao was the first to fall, Xiao could only hope that her companion wouldn't let her feelings splatter on the pavement, that Yanmei would be there to catch her. "You are quite the sly one, Yanmei. Making me drop my guard by asking about Lin and then you hit me with that question. Pray tell, what would you do with that information?"

The mirth of Yanmei's coy grin grew wider, "I don't know, what do you want me to do with it?"

"We're still not officially together and you're already teasing me, I was right. You are a dangerous woman, indeed."

"Ah, so that's your desire, for us to be 'officially together'. You are pretty, that would be enough if I was only after you to feed, it's not enough to sustain a relationship. But since this night has proven that your company can be quite enjoyable, I will take the leap with you and give it a try."

"You will? Even after what I told you about Lin?"

"Xiao, please, we're both cultivators. It's not unheard of for us to have multiple lovers since our age can span hundreds of years. A different person, a different sensation."

Xiao internally agreed with yanmei. The body might be prim, but you must take precautions in making sure that the soul is willing. Revenge. Lust. Greed. Reaching the peak. Love. All of them are what keeps the immortal tethered on this mortal coil.

"The problem is, I suspect this Lin is not the sharing sort, I'll leave it to you when the time comes. I won't get in your way. However, I only have one condition…"

"And what is that?"

"I don't want us to be a secret. Hiding who I am, what I am, it hurts. Unlike Lin, we will not hide the fact that we are lovers. Everyone will know that you are mine, and I yours. That is my term, take it or leave it."

Term? Xiao sighed. A shrewd business woman to the end. She was basically saying that they should be out and proud instead of fearing the taboo. In a world where continuing one's bloodline is important, so much so that families would arrange marriages for their sons and daughters, their relationship would be seen by some in an unfavorable light since it would spell the end for one's lineage.

So what? It's not like Xiao has any family left, and Yanmei was, well…a spirit beast. The real problem is with Lin and her bigwig family, IF she could convince her to continue what they had. Xiao discarded the thought, it is rude to become lost in thought about another woman, when the foxy lady in front of her deserved only undivided attention. Better give Yanmei her straight answer.

"I gladly accept your terms. Do you need me to sign somewhere?" Xiao playfully questioned.

"None of that boring stuff. We have a method that's far more interesting than ink on paper…" The coquettish stare that Yanmei gave indicated that what she hinted was 100% on the erotic side."...I'm going to mark you."

(Marking!? But we became official only tonight! I'm not sure if I'm ready to cross that border yet or if I would be ready at all! But if it's with Yanmei, maybe I….No, I'm not into that and never will be! I must put my foot down!) The worry on Xiao's face was evident as her internal thoughts were in turmoil.

"You seem upset about the idea." Yanmei noticed.

"I…uh…I'm not too sold on the idea of my partner peeing on me."

A roaring laughter echoed through the empty restaurant. After calming herself, Yanmei spoke.

"You think just because I'm a fox spirit beast I need to pee on you to mark you!?"

Xiao's knowledge on spirit beasts is the fact that they are sought out for their cores. On how a huli jing would mark their partner, Xiao was as lost and clueless as an outer disciple who was suddenly tasked to give a lecture in front of the core disciples.

"Then how!?"

"It is late and since you're so adamant in finding out, how about I stay for the night in your room?"

+++

"Elder, Miss Yanmei, you're both back!"

Carrying his Bagua Dao, The bright eyed Fang Xuan greeted them in the sect's housing quarters as they were about to 'retire' into Xiao's bedroom.

Hoping not to run into anyone this late at night, Xiao returned the smile nonetheless,"It's almost midnight. Why are you still up?"

"I've been training. I want to put those spirit stones that you gave me to good use."

"That's good. Well, if you'll excuse us. Yanmei and I are going to get some rest for the evening."

Naturally, Fang Xuan's helpful nature kicked in, "If Miss Yanmei is going to sleep here then she can help herself with one of the empty rooms. Come, Miss Yanmei, I shall escort you!"

"NO!"

Xiao's sudden cry of protest startled Fang Xuan. Xiao knew it wasn't Fang Xuan's intention to clam jam her, but it still ruffled her feathers that he was unconsciously trying to.

"Did I say something wrong, Elder Xiao?"

"Xiao, be a dear and explain to this boy why I am sleeping in your room." With a grin, Yanmei interjected.

"She's sleeping in my room because…" Xiao's heart was beating like a ceremonial drum, as if the intro to what she was about to announce. "... because we're lovers."

"What, but you're both women! How is that possible!?" Fang Xuan's dumbfounded expression bore no malice. Only…genuine confusion.

"Trust me, it's VERY possible. I trust that this won't be a problem?" There was no intimidation in Xiao's tone, putting emphasis on her trust.

Fang Xuan scratched his head, he was still confused about it all. Their elder had done nothing but help him so far. Laying with your fellow wasn't for Fang Xuan, but if it was for Xiao then who was he to judge?

"None at all, elder. I'll see you tomorrow at training." Fang Xuan cupped his hands with a smile as he went on his way.

Passing the duo, he was once alone with his thoughts. He wondered, if they end up marrying each other then how are they going to make babies?

Fang Xuan discarded the thought, a famous alchemy path cultivator once said, "There's a pill of everything."

Winds swirled inside of Xiao's room. But unlike last time, Xiao sensed no intent carried by the gusts. In fact, the stream emitted by Yanmei sitting cross legged on her bedside, seemed to caress Xiao.

The five tails on Yanmei's back blossomed into view. It terrified her before, but now, Xiao couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to touch them? Are they soft? They sure look like it.

Slit hazel eyes invitingly stared at Xiao.

"Don't just stand there, sit next to me." Yanmei beckoned.

As soon as Xiao did so, Yanmei offered a tail.

"Would you like to touch it? Don't deny it, I saw you staring."

"I'll take you up on your offer."

Xiao's hunch was correct, they truly are soft to the touch as her hand melted into the fur with how fluffy it was. She couldn't get enough of it that her other hand joined in, both stroked with care.

A serene kind of happiness overflowed from Yanmei, spilling into a faint smile. Ah, how nice it felt that she could open up about her most treasured secret to another person. Her other tails slowly wrapped around Xiao, burying her in their softness.

Xiao felt a tail brush her cheek, she closed her eyes and tilted her head so she could affectionately nuzzle into it.

As soon as she reopened her lids, Yanmei's hazel orbs once again bore deep into her soul.

There was no charm this time around, but Xiao was once again breathless at Yanmei's beauty. Xiao was utterly captivated.

And so was Yanmei.

In fact, the fox was so enamored that she made the first move. Her lips closed in on Xiao's. Sharing a kiss so tender, neither wanted to separate. Slowly, Yanmei laid Xiao into her tails. Xiao could only describe the sensation as being propped into a super soft bed.

That tenderness soon dissipated as Yanmei's thumb cupped Xiao's mouth open. In search of a playmate, Yanmei's tongue found one huddled in the corner. And thus, their little lascivious game of who would be on top began.

Wet and fleshy, the sensation of Yanmei's tongue that swayed Xiao's wherever it damn pleased. Xiao didn't want to relent, but the reminder of how sweet surrender would be wrapped all around her while simultaneously pinning her underneath. Yanmei's tongue played around with Xiao's some more, making sure that her next plaything was soaked ready.

Breaking their torrid kiss, Yanmei gazed at the hazy mess laying on her tail. The spirit beast in her pridefully smirked, the hunter of their kind was nothing more than helpless prey before her, its eyes begging for her touch. Embodying the sentiment, Yanmei's animalism kicked in as she ruined Xiao's robes and her own cheongsam with a single rip.

(Okay, what the fuck!?) Xiao's clothes temporarily snapped her out of her lustful trance, only for her to fall back into it again once her focus landed on the naked Huli Jing above her.

"Turn around." Yanmei's timbre might have been sultry but it was every bit commanding.

It saddened Xiao to get off of Yanmei's tails but she had trust that the foxy woman wouldn't disappoint her.

Now on all fours, they were equally naked but there's just something that made Xiao's heart palpitate both with excitement and shame as her posterior was exposed before Yanmei.

"Since you did me good last time, allow me to return the favor."

As Yanmei declared, she slid a digit into Xiao's flower to determine if she was dripping enough nectar. Yanmei grinned, she was soaked through. Patiently, Yanmei tried to find Xiao's love spot, and when Xiao's walls suddenly tightened where she pressed, she might have just hit the jackpot. Now she knows where to focus.

Yanmei's fingers pistoned in and out, while always hitting Xiao's spot. As Xiao's saccharine moans rose to a crescendo, so too did the speed of Yanmei's fingers. Xiao's legs and arms were soon about to give as she felt her orgasm fast approaching!

A high pitched moan reverberated in the entire room, accompanied by Xiao's essence gushed past her fingers and into the sheets.

Before Xiao could collapse into the bed, Yanmei caught her in an embrace. Her tail once again enveloping Xiao, Yanmei leaned close to Xiao's ear, she sultry whispered.

"You wanted to know how we mark our partners, right?"

Still basking in the afterglow of her orgasm, Xiao nodded.

Yanmei's fangs sinked into the skin of Xiao's pristine shoulder, while Yanmei's tails that coiled around Xiao emitted a flowery aroma. Pheromones. It was hard to put into words, but the pain that Xiao experienced was…delightful.

After a minute of biting, Yanmei had successfully marked Xiao.

Soon, they both fell onto the sheets. Yanmei gently spooned Xiao as they both were ready to truly retire for the night.

Yanmei was a bit worried about her shop, but she reckoned that Chen would be able to take care of everything until noon.

Breakfast with Xiao was more important.
