Slow and Gentle: 18+

Long Yat-sen took Shao Lin inside the shower with him. 

He shampooed her hair, loving the silky feel of her hair between his hands. He made no sexual advances toward her—no. He only focused on cleaning her up. 

Shao Lin let him, feeling warm, even though they had just been drenched in the cold rain. 

Long Yat-sen soaped and lathered her body, and he did the same to himself. 

Beneath the running water, he embraced her tightly against the shower wall. She wrapped her arms around him, allowing the water to rinse them through. None of them broke the silence, allowing their confessions to settle in. 

Shao Lin could not believe this was real. 

Long Yat-sen thought he was dreaming.
