Gay Harem

Extra - Clandestine Rendezvous Pt. 2 (Parsa's POV)

"Alright," I breathed against his lips, our closeness electrifying. "If you wish to reveal my splendid plans, perhaps we should momentarily halt."

"Perhaps?" Li Jie responded with a mischievous glint in his eyes, turning his head to look at me with a playful tilt of his lips. "I won't cease touching you just for a 'perhaps.'"

"You've grown rather audacious," I admitted, pressing my face into his shoulder to hide the warmth spreading across my cheeks. "You used to be so innocent; this hardly seems fair."

"I've been openly embracing you in broad daylight for quite some time," Li Jie teased, his soft smile tugging at my heartstrings. "I believe 'reckless' is the more apt term."

"I'll protect you," I assured him with a boyish grin, my heart swelling with affection. "Even if circumstances take a dire turn, I won't hesitate to defend you."

"You have my permission to do so," Li Jie sighed, his expression momentarily wearied. "I'd pardon you regardless of the circumstances."

"What if I were to... remove your father?" I quipped, aiming to lighten the mood. This was his sole day off for the month, and his choice to spend it with me filled me with a joy that words couldn't express.

But in all honesty, if I possessed the power or opportunity to do so, I would rid the world of the emperor. How could someone unfit to be a parent to their child serve as a parent to a whole nation?

"In that case, I shall ascend to the throne," Li Jie responded without hesitation. I had known he wouldn't flinch at such a suggestion. "You will become my empress, and I'll grant you the Phoenix Palace."

"I would be honored to be your empress," I declared, sealing my words with a kiss, my resolve to remove the emperor strengthening. If it meant Li Jie's happiness and our freedom, I'd take drastic measures. "And what of the Jade Harmony Chambers?"

"The harem can remain empty," Li Jie replied, playfully pushing me away. "I have no need for anyone else as long as I have you."

"Now you're really unsettling me," I admitted, hoisting him into the air. Li Jie barely managed to suppress a surprised yelp, fixing me with a charmingly irritated look. "You've been so open today; I'm beginning to think I'm hallucinating. You're making me want to abandon our plans and spend the entire day like this!"

"Put me down!" Li Jie demanded, his glare laced with amusement.

"I love you," I repeated, feigning deafness to his request. "Jie, I love you more than the stars in the sky and the universe itself."

"You're acting rather peculiar now," Li Jie noted, his cheeks adorned with a delightful blush. "Let's commence our date. Please, put me down."

"Very well," I agreed, savoring his unique scent and bestowing a tender kiss on the nape of his neck as I gently lowered him to the ground. Kissing Li Jie was akin to pressing my lips to the softest silk.

"First things first," I began, "I have a surprise for you within the palace."

"Is it my father's head on a platter?" Li Jie playfully inquired.

"We can only dream," I replied with a grin, shaking my head. "But no. Remember the western spies?"

"The ones we suspected of spying?"

"Yes," I nodded. "Some of their belongings surfaced on the black market, unbeknownst to the palace. As the world's best lover, I procured all items related to the palace to eliminate any potential threats. And guess what I discovered?"

Li Jie didn't reply, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. Before continuing, I planted one more kiss on the crown of his head, like planting a kiss on the finest silk.
