Feng Lianzhu closed the door behind her.

The lamp was still burning, its flame steady despite the cold that seeped through the walls. She didn’t sit. She stood just inside the room, her emerald eyes fixed on him with an expression that wasn’t quite defiance and wasn’t quite surrender.

"You wanted to talk," Xu said.

"Yes..I..I was ready to talk."

"Then talk."

She exhaled slowly, like someone preparing to step into cold water. "My father used to tell me that a woman’s value in a clan was measured by her marriage. Not her cultivation. Not her intelligence. Her marriage. The right husband could elevate a family. The wrong one could destroy it." She looked away, toward the shuttered window. "When the Feng clan began to fall, he stopped seeing me as a daughter. He started seeing me as a bargaining chip."

"That’s why he kept you out of the Pavilion’s business."

"Partly." Her voice hardened. "The other part was that he knew I’d tell him what a fool he was for trusting them. He didn’t want to hear it. He didn’t want to hear anything that contradicted the fantasy he’d built for himself." She turned back to face him. "The Feng clan was already dead long before your army arrived. The Pavilion just helped us dig the grave faster."

Xu leaned back in his chair. "And the Intermediary?"

"I told you. I watched him from the balcony. He came with promises. My father ate from his hand like a starving dog." The bitterness in her voice was sharp enough to taste. "I thought about killing him. The Intermediary, not my father. I thought about it every night for a month. But I was a good daughter. Obedient. Silent." She laughed, a dry, broken sound. "I did nothing. And my family paid for my cowardice."

"You weren’t a coward." Xu stood. "You were trapped."

"That’s the second time you’ve said that."

"It’s the second time it’s been true."

She watched him cross the room. When he stopped in front of her, close enough that he could see the pulse beating in the hollow of her throat, she didn’t retreat.

"You know what I see?" he asked quietly.

"Tell me."

"A woman who’s spent her whole life being told she wasn’t enough. Not strong enough. Not obedient enough. Not valuable enough. And tonight, when men came to drag her back into that cage, she picked up a knife and fought." He reached out, his fingers brushing the torn edge of her robe where the scratch showed above her collarbone. "That’s not a coward. That’s someone who finally decided to stop being carried."

Her breath caught. Her lips parted, but no words came.

"Come here."

She didn’t move. "I’m already here."

"Closer."

For a long moment, she stood still. Then, slowly, like a wild thing deciding whether to trust a hand, she stepped forward. Xu closed the distance. His hand found her lower back, fingers pressing against the curve of her spine through the thin fabric of the gray robe. He pulled her against him, her body flush with his. His other hand rose to the back of her neck, fingers threading into the tangled mass of burgundy hair.

She shivered.

[Ding!]

The panel flickered to life beside him.

’76. She’s ready.’

"Say it," he murmured, his lips close to her ear. "You know what I want to hear."

Her breath came faster. "I don’t..."

"Say it, Feng Lianzhu."

She swallowed. Her emerald eyes met his, bright with something between fear and hunger. Then her voice came, low and rough.

"I’m yours."

He captured her mouth before the last syllable faded.

The kiss was not gentle. It was a claiming. His fingers tightened at her nape, tilting her head back as his lips moved against hers. She gasped into his mouth, and he took advantage, sliding his tongue past her parted lips. She tasted of the green tea Qing’er had brought earlier, and beneath that, something darker. Something like smoke and iron and the last embers of a dying fire.

She made a small sound against his mouth, half moan, half protest. Her hands came up, not to push him away, but to grip the front of his robes. She held on like he was the only solid thing in a world that had crumbled around her.

He bit her lower lip.

"Ngh..."

The sound escaped her, raw and involuntary. Xu pulled back just enough to look at her. Her lips were red and swollen, her pupils blown wide, her chest heaving against his.

"You’re shaking," he said.

"I’ve never..." She couldn’t finish.

"I know." His left hand slid from her back to her hip, then lower, tracing the curve of her thigh through the gray robe. The fabric was thin, worn from years of use, and beneath it her skin was warm despite the cold. "I won’t hurt you. Not unless you want me to."

"I don’t know what I want."

"Then let me show you."

His hand found the hem of her robe, pushing it upward. His fingers brushed the bare skin of her inner thigh, and she flinched, a full-body tremor that made her grip his robes tighter. He didn’t stop. His hand moved higher, past the curve of her hip, until his fingers met the edge of her underclothes. The fabric was damp.

He pushed it aside.

She made a sound that was almost a sob as his fingers found her pussy. She was wet, the slick heat of her coating his fingers before he even touched her pussy. He traced along her entrance, slow, deliberate, watching her face. Her eyes squeezed shut. Her lips parted. Her hips bucked involuntarily toward his hand.

"So wet," he murmured. "I barely touched you."

"Don’t... don’t stop..."

"Wasn’t planning to."

His thumb found her clit, circling the swollen pearl with slow pressure. She cried out, a sharp, broken sound that echoed in the room. Her legs trembled. Her head fell back, exposing the column of her throat, and Xu took the invitation. His mouth closed over the side of her neck, teeth grazing her skin. She shuddered.

"Ahhn..."

His thumb kept working her clit while his middle finger pressed against her entrance. She was so wet now that he slid in easily, burying his finger to the knuckle. Her body clenched around him, hot and tight and barely explored.

"Nghnn... Tianlong..."

"You’ve never done this before."

"No... I told you... I’ve never..."

"Good." He pushed deeper, curling his finger inside her. "Then this is all mine."

She moaned, a raw, guttural sound. Her nails dug into his shoulders through the fabric of his robes. Her hips moved against his hand, seeking more friction, more pressure. He gave it to her, pumping his finger slowly, then adding a second.

"Ahh... wait... I can’t...Tianlong!"

He ignored her protest. His fingers stretched her pussy, sliding deeper, filling her in a way she’d never been filled before. Her pussy gripped him like a fist, hot, slick and tight. His right hand stayed at her nape, holding her in place while he worked her from the inside.

"Relax," he said against her ear. "I’m going to loosen this tight pussy of yours before I put my big cock inside you."

She made a sound that might have been a whimper. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes glassy, her chest heaving. Her pussy was making wet sounds now, obscene and beautiful in the quiet study.

Squelch...

Squelch...

He fucked her with his fingers, curling them just right, finding the spot that made her see stars. Her cries grew louder, more desperate.

"Ahhn... Tianlong... I can’t... I’m going to..."

"Then cum." His lips brushed her ear. "Milk my fingers with your pussy. Show me."

She shattered.

"Ahhn!...Tianlong!"

Her body convulsed, her pussy clamping around his fingers. A gush of hot fluid soaked his hand, his wrist, the front of his robes. She was squirting, her body surrendering completely to the pleasure he gave her. Her legs buckled. He caught her with his right arm around her waist, holding her upright while she rode out the waves.

The squirting lasted longer than he expected. Her pussy kept squeezing, kept releasing, as if her body had been waiting years for permission to let go. Xu kept his fingers inside her, feeling every contraction, every pulse, every slick rush of her release.

When it finally stopped, she went limp against him. Her breath came in ragged gasps. Her face was buried against his chest, her fingers still tangled in his robes.

He withdrew his fingers slowly, watching as her pussy clenched around the emptiness. They glistened with her juices. He brought them to her lips.

"Taste yourself."

Her eyes were unfocused, her expression dazed. But she opened her mouth, and he slid his slick fingers inside. She sucked them clean, her tongue curling around him, her emerald eyes never leaving his face.

Slurp...

"Good girl."

She pulled back, swallowing. Her cheeks were flushed dark red, her lips swollen and glistening.

"That was..." She couldn’t finish.

"That was just the beginning." Xu released his hold on her nape and stepped back. "But we’re not done yet. Not tonight."

She stared at him, her chest still heaving, her robe tangled around her hips. "What do you mean?"

"Take off your clothes."

She blinked. "What?"

"All of them." His voice was calm, commanding. "Now. I want to see every inch of what belongs to me."

She hesitated, her hands trembling as they reached for the tie of her robe. But she didn’t argue. Slowly, inch by inch, she began to undress.

The lamp flickered, casting shadows across her skin. The first button came loose, then the second, then the third. She let the gray robe slide from her shoulders, and the fabric pooled at her feet.

She stood before him in nothing but the dim light, her pale skin glowing, her burgundy hair spilling over her shoulders. Her breasts were full and round, her waist narrow, her hips flaring. Between her thighs, her pussy was still slick with her release, the evidence of what he’d done to her shining in the lamplight.

Xu took a step back. Then another. He didn’t look away.

"Now," he said. "Come here."
