[ He startles, and there's a strange hurt in her, not only because she knows she caused it, but because she doesn't actually want him to pull away.

But this is what's best. She knows that, and so she doesn't relent.

Instead, she offers him a small, distant smile as she also rises to her feet. ]


I will tell the madam that you are looking for a companion. She can help you.

[ And she'll lead him back to the main room before separating to do just that and then staying out the back so she doesn't have to talk further to him.

He doesn't see her again during his visit.

But she still sees it, through the silky curtain, as he's paired off with one of her coworkers.

She hates, more than anything, how sick she feels at the sight. ]

[ That night, she doesn't sleep.

The night after isn't much better.

For nights on end, Dan Heng finds herself tossing and turning in her bed, far too awake no matter how bus she has been over the course of her evening. When she does sleep, she's haunted by dreams that feel like memories of roughened hands on her waist, a mouth leaving burning kisses on her skin.

She takes a day off work, claiming she's sick, to try and catch up on the sleep. To no avail.

She's back to work today, makeup concealing the dark circles under her eyes and a professional, dazzling smile hiding the burning frustration—the obsession keeping her awake.

And then.. she sees him, and it's as if the rest of the world grinds to a halt.

She shouldn't, not after last time, but she can't help the way she drifts to him. Her professional smile wobbles just a little, revealing—to her chagrin—her uncertainty in having done so. She fixes it a moment later. ]


You must have had a pleasant experience last time, xiansheng, to do us the honor of visiting us again so soon.

[ His smile is natural. Welcoming. None of the rejection she convinced herself for a moment she would see. (And how could she blame him for it, if that is indeed what she saw?) She takes it for what it is, moving to prop herself on the arm of his chair and turning herself toward him.

Her interest is no doubt clear, despite her having turned him away last time. ]


Have you been given the full tour yet? I would be happy to show you around, if you like.

[ She pauses for a moment. After what occurred between them last, she owes him more than just a sign of her interest. She's quite sure he could sense it then, and yet she turned him away. So... ]

Or, if you prefer, I could show you to my room instead. [ Her practiced smile turns a little rueful. ] I was feeling under the weather during your last visit...

[ With his agreement, Xiangyue slips her arm through his and takes him through the establishment, showing him the private lounges, the game rooms, the bars, everything that could hope to be of interest. Only when they're done does she guide him back through the wing where the courtesans' public rooms are, explaining to him that each of them has rooms for pleasure and rooms for their private use during their downtime.

They come to a halt outside one of the rooms, her hand resting on the doorframe. Silks and thin metal chains cascade down her pale arms as she smiles at him. ]


This one is mine.

[ She's feeling, suddenly, all too vulnerable. Night after night spent with him on her mind—but she wouldn't blame him if he walked away from her now. She knows how thin her reasoning was; as a customer she slighted, she's lucky he accepted it.

She hides it behind a warm smile. ]


Would you still like to tour it, xiansheng? Or should I take you back so you can choose someone more to your liking?

[ She smiles even as his lips sear her knuckles. She dare not say it, but she knows too that he is to her liking, moreso than any client she's ever stood in this place with before. ]

Then, please. Come in.

[ Opening the door, she leads him into a beautiful room. At first glance, it might look like any higher-end hotel room: a large, plush bed sits in its center, decorated with teals and golds. Across from it is a large television screen, under which sits a well-stocked bar. On the far side of the room, a large windowed space leads through to a bathroom. A small, private toilet is tucked away to the side, but the shower and oversized bathtub are able to be seen even from the door.

The rest of the room makes it abundantly clear what it's made for. The opposite side of the room, when they walk in, holds a mirrored wall. In front of it, a deliberately empty space, but for the dark cabinet that sits against the back wall, clear in its intent.

With a wave of her hand, the lights dim, and she closes the door behind them. ]


What do you think?

[ Xiangyue smiles in answer, gliding over to her bed and perching on its edge. She extends a hand, silently inviting him to join her, should he wish.

As she does, she shakes her head and answers his question. ]


I do reasonably enough, though I'm quite sure my position is at least in part due to my tenure more than anything else.

[ It's the modest answer, but it comes from the heart. ]

I have served here since I was of age to do so, which makes it... over a decade, now. [ A soft laugh tinkles off her lips. ] Don't tell me I look younger than I am, Yingxing-xiansheng! It's the blessing of my heritage, nothing I have personally done.

[ Her smile is sweet, even as she shakes her head and offers a soft laugh. ]

For one, you are hardly an old man.

[ She points it out as she answers the hand smoothing through her hair with one braced at his chest, splaying over slim but strong muscle. The work he puts into his craft is evident even at a touch. ]

And yes. This is okay, Yingxing. I would not have brought you back here were it not.

[ She leans in, mouth a whisper away from his, luminous eyes alight with a question. ]

So, tell me. What do you desire of me?

[ She feels the sudden leaping of his heart, but doesn't comment on it. Not does she comment on her own body's strangeness, the way she feels something in her break under the taste of his mouth, the swaying urge she feels to simply be close. From somewhere deep inside her is a feeling like she's come home, the knowledge that this is always where she was meant to be.

It's hard, when he breaks from her to shift back on the bed, not to immediately chase him. But she keeps herself together, watching him for a moment before she smiles. ]


Everything? My, isn't that greedy of you, xiansheng...

[ It's almost a purr, and then she moves onto the mattress, crawling over him with a teasing smile. Her lips hover over his. ]

Show me, then, what "everything" looks like.

[ If she had her senses about her, she would stop to think about the fact that something about this is dangerous. His mouth is aflame against hers, and there's something in the way he looks at her right before it seeks to taste hers, that answers a question long held, one she didn't even know she had.

But her senses are stolen by the taste of him.

He pulls her close, and her legs slot between his as she answers his mouth with hers, one hand remaining braced against his chest, feeling more than hearing the rumble of pleasure, as the other slides up into his hair.

Her job is to give him what he seeks, and yet it feels as if she could collapse to him so easily—

Is that what everything means for him? ]

[ She's heard it a hundred times before.

No, maybe even a thousand.

And yet not once has it felt like this, a pang in her heart that answers the call of his voice. While she doesn't say anything in answer, her lips curve in a sweet smile. That's her official answer—unofficial is the way her cheeks warm, the way her stomach feels like there are suddenly hundreds of butterflies beating their wings against the walls.

Her lips part at his request, hips rolling teasingly back where she can feel him hardening. There's an urge, sudden and fierce, to take him in her mouth, but no request has been made of her, and so for now, she merely lowers the hand at his chest, teasing it over the front of his pants instead.

...Then again, he said everything, didn't he? ]


For someone who calls himself an old man, you're impressively ready, [ she murmurs, a teasing chuckle against his lips as she palms, ever so light, over his hardening cock. Then, she breaks their kiss, hovering close with her bright eyes peering into his. ] Will you allow me to taste you, Yingxing-xiansheng?

I never claimed otherwise. I'm only using your words, after all.

[ Her words are a teasing, amused purr against his mouth. Usually, she allows her clients to set the pace a little more than this before she starts acting—tonight, though, she can't quite help it, falling into a natural banter as she makes her own suggestions. A small part of her marvels at it, wonders if she's doing too much.

Another, more stubborn part, argues with her own mind that he said everything.

So, she leaves a slow, lingering kiss against his mouth before pulling away and dragging herself down and over him, pressing her lips in soft touches over his clothes, down over his chest, his stomach...

And at first, she doesn't even remove his pants, instead pressing kisses over his burgeoning hardness through the material, tongue wetting it as she hums lowly. ]

[ A hint of a smile finds her lips when she hears him curse, when his fingers thread through her hair to touch her as she teases him. It's clear though that he knows where he wants this to go, his free hand thumbing his pants open in a way that makes her chuckle sweetly against the heavy fabric. A perfect invitation.

Who is she to say no?

Xiangyue pulls her mouth away from him just enough that she can reach both hands over him, properly undoing the fastenings so she can reach to the waistband to pull them down. She makes sure to catch his underwear with them, so that as she lowers them over his hips, his cock lifts free, flushed and hardened for her. ]


Mm... [ Her eyes flick up to his face briefly, tongue trailing visibly over her lower lip, a teasing flicker in her gaze. ] Someone's a big boy. [ And then she dips her head low, taking him into her mouth with a low, soft groan. ]
