18 You've Always Known

[Disclaimer: There will be smut throughout this and future chapters. Enjoy my lovelies~]

Ying Yue was sitting under the plum tree with his eyes closed and legs crossed. Taking a deep breath, he meditated to feel his inner qi, his spiritual energy slowly flowing through his body. It ebbed and flowed like the river into the sea. He felt a slight change in air around him and he frowned.

'What was-' he stopped suddenly when he felt a warm palm against his chest.

Face flushed and ears warmed, he was about to open his eyes, when a deep baritone voice spoke against his ear.

"Keep them close," he heard as a body pressed against his from behind, "Relax."

Letting out a deep breath, he concentrated once more on his energy flow. With every course, he felt himself lighter. His mind felt clearer, like a small portion of fog was lifted.

Just as he was relaxing deeper, he felt the hand on his chest move lower. Down his abdomen toward his pelvis, and his green eyes flew open.

"Ah Li!" He shouted quietly, holding onto the hand to stop the movement, "We're… we're outside."

He turned his red face to look at the king, who held a smile on those thin lips.

"Still so shy," Wang Li kissed his cheek.

"Of course I am," Ying Yue frowned, "We only… it was only one time," he finished quietly with his entire body flushing as the memories returned.

The Ghost King watched the shy embarrassed wife of his and grinned wide.

"Then we should do it more often," he whispered against the green-eyed beauty's ear, "So you aren't so shy."

"Oh my," the blonde bit his bottom lip, "Stop it Wang Li."

"Hm?" The Ghost King pulled back to see his wife blushing so beautifully, and he left a kiss on Ying Yue's cheek before standing, "I will go bathe. Do you wish to join me, my wife?"

He saw those big green eyes look up at him before nodding slowly. Helping the blonde up, they headed to the bath to already see the wooden tray with soaps on it.

"How did they know you were going to bathe?" Ying Yue questioned confused turning to him.

"Come," the Ghost King pulled him to the bench and began undressing.

Green eyes watched as blue outer robe was removed, folded, and placed onto the bench. Silver eyes glanced over to him and he quickly looked away. Removing his own tunic, he folded it and placed it on the bench. He found himself fighting the flush that wanted to cover his face, as he removed what was left of his clothing. The blonde looked over to his husband and he lost the fight. His entire face flushed red when his green eyes took in all the Ghost King's bare body.

Eyes took in the wide shoulders and toned body. He memorized the tattoo on his right chest where it curved and clung to the beautiful man's skin. Then, he trailed his eyes lower to see abs and-

Body on fire, he forced his eyes up and saw silver eyes piercing into his heart. Biting his lips, he quickly looked away, embarrassed for such public indecency.

"My turn," Wang Li said and the blonde turned to him with furrowed brows, but they quickly shot up to his hairline. Those silver eyes were drinking in his naked form and Ying Yue felt his body shake with anticipation.

'Anticipation?!' He gulped, 'It's only a bath. We are only taking a bath.'

When those silver eyes met his green ones, the blonde quickly went into the hot spring to hide his body from the scrutiny. He watched the amused look on the Ghost King's face as he stepped into the water, with the wooden tray.

"Will you wash me, wife?" Wang Li asked with that same charmed smile.

"Can't you wash yourself?" He asked dunking his body in the water with only his head above it.

"If you don't wish to, I shall call for Chu or Hien to do it," the raven haired male stated.

"How did you get so spoiled?" Ying Yue mumbled before stepping over to grab the soap.

"By my first wife," Wang Li answered and the blonde looked over at him in surprised, before hurt crossed those eyes. He moved in closer to the green eyed beauty and kissed those pouty lips, "You are my wife Ah Yue," he whispered and his hands moved down his body to hold his hips, "Please spoil me."

"Only… only if you wash me too," Ying Yue said through his flush.

"I will do my best to spoil you then," the Ghost King stated and kissed him again.

'Ah, he kisses so good,' the blonde tilted his head slightly to the side, 'I want to kiss him forever.'

He pressed closer to feel strong chest against his and he slid his arms up to wrap around the Ghost King's powerful neck. Tongue pressing and twirling with one another, he let out a small moan. The fingers wrapped around his hips pulled him closer, making him pull away with a gasp. Glancing down, he could see their members touching and rubbing against one another.

"Ah Yue," the king's deep tone resonated against his heart and the blonde found himself moving his hips.

"Ah, Ah Li," he panted out when strong hands wrapped around their manhood, pressing them against one another, "we shouldn't… ah."

He moved his hips to rub more, to feel more, to breath in everything of his king's. The sound of the water slapping against their skin, the pumping that started slow gained momentum, and their moans surrounded only the two of them. His arms tightened as he reached closer to his climax, squeezing his fingers harder.

"I… Ah… ah…" Ying Yue tucked his head against a strong neck, "husband," he whimpered bucking his hips.

He let out a high-pitched gasp when he felt the hold tighten and pumped faster. Biting his bottom lip, he shut his eyes feeling himself off the edge. Panting and gasping, he let out a loud groan when he came thrusting into the tight hold of his lover's.

"Ohhh," he pulled his head back to kiss those lips. He could hear all the light breaths Wang Li was making and the blonde continued to taste them, lick them into his mouth until the Ghost King came. His name was softly whispered into his mouth, and Ying Yue found himself smiling.

They pulled their faces far enough to just stare at one another, as if that were the only thing that mattered. However, the sound of someone entering the water had green eyes turned to the newcomer. Face confused before his face flushed with embarrassment, he saw both Hein and Chu joined them. The smirk on the blue haired female only deepened the redness on his face.

"Would you like a new soap bar?" Hein asked in her kindness.

"No… no," he stuttered out and brought the hand that was holding the soap before him, "we have…" the bar was in pieces.

Chu laughed loudly, while the brunette laughed softly walking toward them.

"Here you go, Sir," Hien handed him the bar and returned to her sister at the other side of the pool.

"Thank you," he turned away before what she called him crossed his mind, "Did you just call me sir?"

"Is that not what your title is?" Purple eyes were amused, "We've always known, and we can see you clearly now."

Ying Yue furrowed his brows and looked down to realize his bare chest was revealed. Blinking in that fact, he turned back to the females who were casually bathing. Turning green eyes to the beautiful man beside him, he tilted his head.

"You've always known… that I was a man and not a woman?" The blonde questioned feeling stupid. All this time he was pretending, but everyone already knew. Was it a power they had or was he just that terrible at hiding?

"You are very pretty as a woman," warm wet hands cupped his cheeks, "but beautiful as a man."

"Why didn't you say anything? I feel so dumb right now," Ying Yue frowned.

"I thought you were playing a game," the raven haired male smirked.

"Why are you smirking?" He pushed the man gently away with a grin.

This whole time he was losing his mind, but they had already known and were not angry with him. They accepted him and even care for him.

'Family,' he thought and laughed when strong arms wrapped around him again, pulling him against warm chest.

'Finally.'
