They were alone.
The hot springs were perfect for mid-autumn, the steam perfect for alleviating aches and pains as well as supple relaxation.
The sun was setting, sinking past the mountains, the sky orange and red. This time of day was perfect, just before nightfall.
It was for just the two of them, keeping anyone and everyone that weren't them out. There was no such need for any mixed company, not just yet anyway.
Xie Lian quickly disrobed, his skin exposed, and he stepped into the waters, breathing out a sigh of relief and content. He closed his eyes, settling in, everything lifting off him, if only for now.
The sound of clothes rustling, dropped to the side, and waters sloshing didn't bother him. He smiled, knowing that Hua Cheng soon joined him.
Xie Lian felt his love's lips upon his neck, and he let out a gasp of pleasure. His eyes snapped open; he turned his head, his heart skipping a beat, he blinked, and he let out a laugh.
Hua Cheng chuckled, as he continued his ministrations, his hands upon Xie Lian's shoulder, peppering his neck with soft kisses. Xie Lian stifled a moan, but he couldn't help but melt into Hua Cheng's touches, pressing himself close to his love.
Xie Lian turned around, his face flushed, and he pressed his lips onto Hua Cheng's, threading their hands together. Hua Cheng wrapped his arms around Xie Lian, such an embrace yielding closeness and skin against skin.
Oh how they wished they could stay in the warmth of these waters for much longer. Where Hua Cheng sat, Xie Lian got on top of him, pressing close, their hands entwined. Their kiss continued, Hua Cheng let out a grunt of pleasure as he pulled Xie Lian onto his lap, skin hot and wet. They both moved, breathing raggedly, in hushed tones and whispers.
They were far from the chaos wrought upon them, far from the gods, far from the enchanted lights of the city, and from everyone else. It was just the two of them, with arousals grinding together, and pleasure cresting, cresting, cresting, and then, oh so consuming.
Xie Lian held on tight, the pleasure ebbing, and Hua Cheng murmured sweet words close to him, coming down from complete bliss.
Their shared pleasure, just theirs, and it was theirs alone.
Xie Lian buried his face in Hua Cheng's neck, nuzzling, sweat and water slick, with Hua Cheng stroking his wet hair upon his back.
This moment was theirs, they were together, as the last petal fell into the waters.
