Chapter 14: You Want to Do It Again?

The sweet yet deadly voice took a moment for its meaning to register. Heeek—Eun-gyo pulled his body back and covered his ear with one hand.

His heart pounded loudly.

He couldn’t tell if it was from fear or because of the Crown Prince, who was smiling so leisurely right in front of him.

“C-could you not do that?”

“Do what?”

“The threats about killing me at every turn.”

“Threats…

If it sounded that way, you’re mistaken.

There was never a time I wasn’t serious.”

Ah, yes.

Of course.

Suppressing the urge to be heavily sarcastic, he turned his head away.

Just then, Court Lady Han announced that the refreshments were ready.

Separate trays were placed before Eun-gyo and the Crown Prince.

“What is your surname?” the Crown Prince asked, lifting the teacup Court Lady Han had poured.

“It’s ‘Ha.’

Ha Eun-gyo.”

“Your age?”

The question he’d asked came right back at him.

“Twenty-seven.”

He answered, and not only the Crown Prince but even Court Lady Han turned to look at him in surprise.

Wondering why, he blinked, and the Crown Prince let out a hollow breath.

“You’re older than you look.”

Eun-gyo himself had thought similarly when he heard the Crown Prince’s age, so he let out a small chuckle.

“How dare you behave so rudely before His Highness…”

Court Lady Han started to scold Eun-gyo, but the Crown Prince raised his hand to stop her.

“Leave him be.

While he’s with me, it’s fine.”

“Your Highness…”

Court Lady Han swallowed a sigh, as if to say that was exactly when he should observe proper decorum.

“Enough.

Prepare the bath.”

Dismissing Court Lady Han as if there was nothing more to say, the Crown Prince turned away.

Hungry, Eun-gyo focused solely on eating, paying no mind to whether the Crown Prince was looking at him or not.

“So this is what silence feels like.”

The Crown Prince murmured something unintelligible.

Eun-gyo lifted only his eyes to glance at the Crown Prince’s face.

He seemed expressionless, but a faint smile lingered at the corner of his mouth.

He himself didn’t touch any of the food except for the tea, only watching Eun-gyo eat.

“I’m not exactly the quiet type.”

The Crown Prince was the first person to use the word ‘quiet’ while with him.

Eun-gyo wasn’t particularly soft-spoken; he was the type who had to say what he wanted to say.

Though he was holding back quite a bit in front of the Crown Prince for fear of another sword being drawn, compared to others, he was probably talkative enough to exasperate him.

“I never said you were quiet.”

Ah, yes.

So why deny it immediately after saying it just moments ago?

He pouted and picked up a piece of rice cake with his chopsticks, and the Crown Prince added a remark.

He must have thought to instruct Court Lady Han to teach him imperial etiquette.

***

When the bath was announced ready, the Crown Prince rose from his seat.

Taking Eun-gyo, he led the way out of the bedchamber.

Eun-gyo thought he’d be bathing alone, but perhaps the Crown Prince had business in the same direction—he didn’t think much of it.

After walking a long corridor lined with doors on both sides, they arrived at a place whose door alone was different from the others.

All the doors they’d passed were made of wooden lattice with paper, but this one was a solid wooden door.

When the attendants opened it, there was a small space inside, with another door opposite.

“The rest of you, wait out here.”

At the Crown Prince’s command, not only the eunuchs and court ladies but also the other attendants looked flustered.

“We will manage ourselves.

There’s no need for concern.”

Dressing and undressing the Crown Prince were also the attendants’ duties.

So being told not to do so naturally left them bewildered.

“I don’t wish for this child’s body to be seen by others.

So only we two will remain.”

Eh?

At those words, Eun-gyo’s eyes went wide as he stared at the Crown Prince.

Just the two?

You mean you’re bathing too?

Before he could ask, his mouth opening and closing, Court Lady Han, who had grasped the Crown Prince’s intent, answered in understanding and dismissed everyone.

“What are you doing, not undressing?

Wasn’t it you who said you wanted to bathe?”

From the way he spoke, it really did sound like he intended to bathe together.

“Is Your Highness staying here too?”

It would be better if you left if you’re not bathing.

Staring so blatantly, he somehow felt embarrassed to undress.

“You acted so lewdly all night, and now you’re telling me you can’t undress in front of me?”

The Crown Prince added with a smirk.

What was the point in answering?

As the Crown Prince said, they’d seen everything and done everything yesterday.

He took off his clothes and folded them roughly, placing them on a shelf to the side.

Standing completely naked, he looked at the Crown Prince.

He was about to ask what to do next when he noticed the Crown Prince’s gaze fixed on his center.

Even if they were both men, it was a bit embarrassing, so he lowered his hand to cover himself—and the Crown Prince subtly frowned.

“Seeing it again, you really are a man.”

He even clicked his tongue, as if finding it hard to believe.

If you don’t like it, don’t look—why frown after staring first?

“As long as I keep it covered by clothes, I won’t get caught, so don’t worry.”

Unable to hold back his irritation, he retorted.

The Crown Prince let out a scoffing laugh and averted his gaze.

“But where do we wash?

I don’t see any water.”

At Eun-gyo’s question, the Crown Prince pointed with his eyes to the door opposite the one they’d entered.

Eun-gyo approached and opened it—and couldn’t help but let out an awed gasp at the sight before him.

It was a dense bamboo forest on all sides.

In the center, a large rectangular tub had been dug into the ground and framed with wood.

Judging by the sound of wind, it was clearly outdoors, but surrounded by bamboo, it didn’t feel like the outside at all.

Only the sky was open above; looking up, he could clearly see clouds drifting across the blue sky.

“You seem to like it.”

The Crown Prince came to stand beside him.

“Can I get in?”

Excited by the unexpected scenery, he asked the Crown Prince with a brightened face, and he nodded.

Stepping closer, he dipped his foot in the water and was surprised again.

The water was warm.

He wondered how they’d filled such a large tub with warm water, and noticed a wooden pipe on one side from which water was trickling.

Awesome!

Could it really be natural hot spring water?

He walked across the tub to the source of the water.

Touching it, it was genuinely hot water coming out.

The opposite side of the pipe was embedded in the ground.

A hot spring in a place like this…

He never expected to enjoy such luxury.

Splash.

At the sound of water, he turned to see the Crown Prince removing his dragon robe and stepping into the bath naked.

“You’re bathing too?”

The tub was so large that one more person wouldn’t be a problem.

Still, since he was the Crown Prince, he’d expected complaints about disrespect for sharing the same water.

The Crown Prince didn’t answer, coming right up to Eun-gyo.

His gaze naturally followed upward along his face.

“You don’t hold back anymore.”

At the low voice, he realized his mistake and tried to lower his head, but the Crown Prince was quicker—grabbing his chin and lifting it, pressing their lips together.

A soft tongue pushed in, seeking Eun-gyo’s and entwining with it.

Slick sounds escaped between lips that couldn’t fully seal.

Because of the surrounding silence, even the sounds of tongues and lips meeting and parting echoed loudly.

Hah…

As the kiss ended, strong enough to make his mouth tingle, a hot, heavy breath escaped.

“Truly a lewd body.”

The Crown Prince slipped his hand between Eun-gyo’s thighs in the water.

At some point, heat had gathered in his center, standing awkwardly erect.

Just brushing past his genitals made the water ripple, creating more stimulation.

Uhn—he bit his lip to swallow a moan.

“After all that last night, still wasn’t enough?”

A low voice rumbled in his ear.

The Crown Prince licked his earlobe as he asked.

Eun-gyo shook his head, saying no, but his body was slowly heating up, making his answer meaningless.

It wasn’t his fault.

It was because this Crown Prince was overly handsome, had a great body, and even kissed dirtily.

Moreover, due to his long celibacy, the pleasure the Crown Prince had given him last night was seared too intensely into his body.

Just the brush of his hand against his skin made his body recall the dizzying sensations of the night before.

Wrapping one arm around Eun-gyo’s waist, the Crown Prince pulled him close, making their centers rub against each other.

Uhn…

A moan escaped him at the lewd sensation.

The corner of the Crown Prince’s mouth curved up faintly.

His hand slipped between Eun-gyo’s round buttocks and pressed firmly against the wrinkled entrance.

Having been stretched so much the night before, and lubricated by the water, the finger slid inside easily.

“Uht!”

His waist wavered at the sensation of his inner walls being stroked.

Leaning against the Crown Prince’s shoulder, he gasped for breath.

“Eun-gyo.”

The quiet call made his skin prickle with goosebumps.

He looked up to see his own face reflected in those jet-black eyes.

“You want to… do it again?”

His voice betrayed too much tension.

Even so, the pressing against his back kept making him twitch.

“What other reason would I have to keep you by my side?”

Hah.

A long breath escaped at the infuriating words.

He didn’t feel particularly opposed.

Not only was he not in a position to refuse, but he didn’t dislike it either.

Was this what they called good compatibility in bed?

Honestly, it felt good.

He wondered if it was just because it’d been so long since he’d had s*x, but as far back as his memory went, yesterday was the first time he’d ever felt so much he lost consciousness.

Let’s think of it positively and not overcomplicate it.

If he thought of it as enjoying himself with a handsome, virile guy you couldn’t easily find anywhere else, in a fine palace—it was a deal with no losses.

Besides, once he returned to his world, he’d never see him again, so there’d be no strings attached.

He didn’t have a lover whose fidelity he needed to keep anyway.

So let’s think of it as a dream.

Though a rather intense one.

The Crown Prince lifted one of Eun-gyo’s legs and wrapped it around his own waist.

With easier hand movement, the pace of entering and withdrawing soon quickened.

As his fingers increased from one to two, it felt like water was being pushed in along with them through the forced-open entrance.

“Uhn… that feels weird…”

He clung to the Crown Prince’s neck, panting.

Then, when a finger touched a spot inside, a shrill cry escaped.

The Crown Prince paused briefly, then relentlessly pressed and rubbed only that spot.

“Ah, ah, sto-stop, I’m, huuht!”

A sensation of heat rushing downward surged, and a cloudy fluid clouded the water.

“Ah…”

At the sight of his traces spreading through the water, he grimaced, and the Crown Prince turned him around, grabbed his waist, and pulled him close.

Having swelled at some point, his hard member tapped against his buttocks.

“Don’t worry about meaningless things.”

Swoosh—what pushed between his buttocks began to spread his entrance.

“Now it’s just beginning.”

The low, growling voice in his ear made his mind go numb.

Ah, that thick glans forcing its way into the narrow hole—Eun-gyo opened his mouth and moaned at the tight sensation.
