Chapter 55: To give you my mating mark, my little one, it means we must mate again
Warning: Chapter Contains Explicit Content
This Chapter has steamy kissing, touching, and mating talk. Mature (18+) only.
How was he supposed to tell his tiny, soft little female that to give her his mating mark right now meant he would have to lay her down, spread her legs, and sink deep inside her warm, tight body until she took every inch of him and accepted him completely?
His heart pounded so hard that even he could hear the sound clearly.
He loved her so much it hurt sometimes, this calm protective love that had stayed steady even when she had treated him badly in the past.
But this new Lin Huahua, this sweet innocent one who looked at him with such trusting eyes, made something deeper and hungrier wake up inside him.
He did not speak.
Instead, Mu Qingyi leaned in very slowly, giving her every chance to pull away.
His big hand came up gently to cup the side of her face, thumb brushing away the last trace of her earlier tears.
Then he pressed his lips to hers in the softest kiss.
It was warm and careful, like he was afraid she might break.
Lin Huahua’s eyes flew wide for one second.
Her little body went completely stiff.
Then her cheeks turned a deep, burning red that spread all the way to the tips of her white rat ears.
Those soft ears folded back shyly against her head in the most adorable way, showing exactly how flustered she suddenly felt.
Her fluffy white rat tail stopped swishing and curled tight around her own waist like it was trying to hide.
She could not even form proper words.
Her heart was beating so fast now, so loud in her little chest, that she felt dizzy.
Why did he kiss her?
Why did his lips feel so warm and gentle and make her stomach do funny flips?
She wanted to ask him, but all that came out was a tiny, breathless sound against his mouth.
Mu Qingyi felt her not pushing him away.
That small sound she made, so sweet and surprised, broke the last thread of his careful control.
His voice dropped deeper, muskier, the calm protective tone still there but now wrapped in something hotter and needier.
"To give you my mating mark, my little one," he murmured against her lips, breath warm and slow, "it means we must mate again."
His big hand slid slowly up her thigh, fingers gentle but sure, pushing the soft fabric of her clothes higher as he spoke.
He did not rush.
He never rushed with her.
Lin Huahua’s breath hitched.
Her brain did not catch up right away.
She felt the heat of his palm on her bare skin and her whole body trembled, but she did not pull away.
Instead she bit her lower lip hard, eyes wide and a little lost, staring up at him like she was trying to understand why her body suddenly felt so warm and tingly everywhere.
She swallowed, throat moving, a tiny spark of something new and lustful flickering in her brown eyes even though her mind was still spinning.
Mu Qingyi saw it.
He saw how different she was now, this innocent shy version of his female who did not hit him or scream or run away.
This one stayed soft and trembling under his touch, cheeks flushed, rat ears still folded shyly, fluffy tail twitching in little nervous curls.
It made his own heart squeeze with so much love and want that he almost groaned.
He kissed her again, deeper this time, tongue brushing hers in a slow, sweet way that made her whimper softly into his mouth.
Then his lips moved to her neck, pressing warm open-mouthed kisses along the sensitive skin there, sucking gently until she arched her back with a sweet little moan that went straight to his cock.
Lin Huahua’s hands came up to clutch at his strong shoulders, fingers digging into his fur.
It felt so good.
Oh it felt so good she could not think.
His antlers brushed lightly against her hair as he moved lower, and the feeling made her shiver all over.
Mu Qingyi laid her back gently on the thick fur bedding, his big body hovering over her protectively, never pressing down too hard.
He kissed from her neck down to her chest, slow and reverent, like he was worshiping every inch of her.
When he reached her small breasts he sucked one soft peak into his mouth, tongue swirling, teeth grazing just enough to make her gasp and moan louder, sweeter, her fluffy white rat tail thrashing happily beneath her.
"Yes..." she breathed out without thinking, the word slipping free because it really did feel so fucking good, so warm and wet and perfect.
The moment the sound left her lips, Lin Huahua’s eyes snapped open.
Reality crashed back in like cold water.
What was she doing?
Her plan was to find good females for these males, to make them happy before she left this simulation.
She was not supposed to let Mu Qingyi mate with her again.
When she finally went back to her real world, everything would become so complicated.
She would break this sweet deer’s heart for the second time, and the thought made her own chest ache.
She could not do that to him.
She could not be so selfish.
Her small hands pushed weakly at his shoulders, not hard, just enough to get his attention.
Mu Qingyi stopped immediately.
He lifted his head, golden-brown eyes soft and full of understanding even though his own body was burning with need.
He saw how small and meek she looked right then, cheeks still red, rat ears drooping shyly, fluffy white tail switching up and down in nervous little flicks.
His calm protective energy wrapped around her like a warm blanket.
"Okay, my little one," he said in that deep gentle voice, so full of love it made her heart squeeze.
He did not sound disappointed.
He did not push.
He simply sat up slowly, big hands moving with care to fix her clothes, pulling the fabric back down over her chest and thighs, smoothing everything into place like she was the most precious thing in the world.
"I will not touch you if you are not ready," he murmured, voice still low and calm, antlers casting soft shadows as he leaned over her one last time to press a gentle kiss to her forehead.
"Go to sleep now, Hua’er. I will stay right here and keep you safe. Nothing will happen unless you want it."
Lin Huahua stared up at him, blinking slowly.
Her face was still burning hot, her rat ears twitching with leftover shyness, but something warm and happy bloomed in her chest.
He was so sweet.
So perfect.
So patient even when she had just let him kiss and touch her like that and then changed her mind.
She felt her fluffy white rat tail switch up and down again, this time in little happy curls instead of nervous ones.
She nodded, small and quick, not trusting her voice yet.
Mu Qingyi smiled softly, that calm protective smile that always made her feel safe, and he lay down beside her without crowding her.
His big arm slipped around her waist loosely.
Lin Huahua curled into his warmth a little, her small body still tingling from everything he had done, her mind spinning with confusion and want and guilt all mixed together.
But his steady breathing and the gentle way his tail brushed against her leg made her feel safe enough to close her eyes.
She did not know what would happen tomorrow.
She did not know how long she could keep fighting this sweet pull inside her heart.
But right now, with Mu Qingyi beside her, warm and patient and full of that quiet calm energy that made her feel so loved, she let herself drift toward sleep.
Her fluffy white rat tail gave one last happy little flick against his thigh before it settled.
And Mu Qingyi stayed awake a while longer, watching her with eyes full of love, his heart steady even though his body still ached with the need he had pushed down for her.
Because she was his little female.
And he would wait as long as it took.
