Chapter 213 - 5.23 President Merrick
The opportunity Lu Yizhou had been waiting for finally presented itself two days later. Deep into the night when the hubbub in the hospital had calmed down and almost everyone had retreated to their respective rooms, Lu Yizhou opened his eyes to the sight of Terra who was sleeping soundly in his embrace. [What time is it?]
[666: It’s 2:15 am, Host. The President is currently on his way to his private residence after an official collaboration overseas. He’s riding in a bulletproof car right now and the number of guards he has with him is eight. He also had another dozen guards, CCTVs and laser detectors in his house. Estimation of the time he will arrive is twenty minutes. If you leave now, you will get there in time before his arrival.]
Lu Yizhou slowly let out a breath. [Alright.] He took five long minutes to carefully peel Terra’s limbs from his and made his way to the bathroom to change out of his comfy sweater, slid on his gloves and prepared everything he might need. Seven minutes. He came out to wear his boots, trying not to make any sound but then all of a sudden, he felt a prickle on his neck. Lu Yizhou turned and promptly came face to face with Terra’s eyes that glowed amber amidst the dark. He let out a sigh. "Terra, I’m sorry. Have I woken you up?"
He crossed the room to sit on the edge of the bed, tucking the wayward strand of hair behind Terra’s ears. "Go back to sleep, okay?"
The guide’s eyes were still bleary with drowsiness as he reached out to hold onto Lu Yizhou’s sleeve tightly. Confusion apparent in his features. He looked like a soft, sleepy kitten. How adorable. Lu Yizhou’s heart melted as he leaned down to press a kiss on his forehead. "Go back to sleep. I have something important to do." Terra tilted his head in question and Lu Yizhou chuckled, shaking his head. "No, you can’t go with me."
Terra glared and turned his head away with a harrumph, his hold on Lu Yizhou tightening. Lu Yizhou loved him so much. He ignored 666’s flustered countdown of how he had to hurry or else he wouldn’t make it in time. Well, he just had to make sure that everything went smoothly. "It’s dangerous, you will get hurt."
Terra looked even more offended at that. Who do you think I am? His eyes seemed to protest. Yes, Lu Yizhou knew that Terra had been living in the wild for years and he knew that Terra was stronger than any average sentinels. Still, just the mere idea of Terra getting hurt — even more because of him — was enough to make Lu Yizhou see red.
He pinched Terra’s chin and before the guide could react, leaned down to capture his lips in a languid kiss. Despite his sulky behavior, Terra went lax almost immediately and his lips parted to welcome Lu Yizhou in. His scent was stronger here, hotter with a hint of musk and spice that made Lu Yizhou want to keep kissing him forever. It took all of his willpower to remain behind the innocent line when all Lu Yizhou wanted was to teach him of all the pleasure and ecstasy there was in the world. No, he wouldn’t, not until Terra was ready to take the next step.
He let out a chuckle when he broke the kiss only for Terra to chase after him, eager. "No." He murmured against the corner of his lips. "Wait until I return and then we will kiss again. How about it?"
