Holy fuck!
The feeling was damn near indescribable—pure bliss mixed with an insatiable hunger for him.
He growled, a low rumble that vibrated against my skin. "Whose pussy does this belong to?"
His fingers plunged deeper, pushing me to the brink of ecstasy.
"You," I gasped out between pants. "Only you."
He stilled his movements. The intensity in his eyes nearly knocked the breath out of me. "That's what I like to hear but I want more than just your words."
"What do you want?"
"I want you to show me."
“How?”
“You want to live in Lotus Blossom, but you’re my official Mountain Mistress. Your place is here in the Palace—”
“Lei, my stuff is already moved in. My sisters have already decorated their rooms in the Palace.”
He parted his mouth in shock. “Really?”
Then, I moved his hands out of my panties so I could think. “I’m telling you to let me catch you up and call Master Wu—”
“Stop saying Master Wu’s name.”
I chuckled. “Why?”
“Because I only want to talk about us.” He stared at me. “You moved your stuff in?”
“Our little belongings. Yes.”
“So. . .it’s official?”
“Very.” I sighed. “In fact, on the first day I did the speech to the East to basically say that you were okay and—”
“You did a speech?”
“Yes.”
“And Chen didn’t have a heart attack?”
“Not at that time.”
“But he did later?”
“Well kind of. . .I did the speech that Chen and I, both agreed on and all was just fine, and then one of the reporters asked about the ring on my finger.”
“You told that them you were my fiancé?”
“Chen interrupted and said no comment. Apparently, Aunt Suzi and him want to do this big extravagant party announcing it—”
“Yet?” He leaned his head to the side.
“You know how I roll.”
His smile widened.
“I was too excited. So immediately, I started flashing the ring all in front of the cameras, telling them that you were my baby and we would get married. It wasn’t the most professional moment of my being Mountain Mistress. My picture and that ring was on every newspaper the next day.”
He chuckled, “And that was when Chen had the heart attack?”
“Panic attack but yes. Fen and Duck took him to the hospital.”
“How is he?”
“He’s out and on a forced vacation at the beach house. Jo gave him a whole packet of weed gummies and to all of our shock, he took them and a stack of books.”
“And your sisters? How are they?”
My nerves flared. “Well. . .Chloe and I got in an argument because when our mail from Glory was transferred to us we discovered that she was accepted by five colleges. Good ones too. She’s so fucking smart.”
“Then, why did you both argue?”
“Now that she’s in the Palace, Chloe doesn’t want to go to college anymore. She wants to. . .chill.”
Lei laughed.
“That’s not funny.”
“My sister, Chloe can chill if she wants to chill, Moni.”
I rolled my eyes.
“She’s wealthy now. She has more choices, and. . .she should stay in East for a while. . .” The line of his jaw twitched. “Let her stay if she wants. It’s her life.”
“I know. I know. It took me another day to calm down but I am now going to mind my business and accept Chloe’s decision. Besides the argument made her cry and Aunt Min threatened to attack me due to Chloe’s crying.”
He laughed again.
“That isn’t funny.”
“I missed a lot.”
“Jo decided to take you up on that comic book store in the East.”
He blinked. “Oh really?”
“Yes. She plans to open it in six months and has been ordering stuff. She wants to take a trip to Japan and meet with special distributors. Banks wants to go with her. He says he needs a vacation.” I sighed. “Jo also met someone in the Palace. One of Master Wu’s assistants.”
“Very interesting.” He placed his hands on my waist. “And TT?”
“She is currently not talking to me.”
He quirked his brows. “Why not?”
“Well. . .she took the placement test for Mulberry.”
“That’s the best private middle school in the East.”
“Yes and TT loved the school when we did the tour. The teachers were super nice. The students were smiling and waving at us. But then. . .the administrators had her come back and do another test the next day.”
The happy expression left his face. “Why?”
“They didn’t tell us. She did it. And then the day after that. . .they had her test again, and it was another new test.” Already, I could sense the violence rising within his frame.
He sneered. “Why the fuck did they keep testing her?”
“Well, calm down.” I moved my hands to his chest. “I was getting angry too but yesterday the administrators sat us down. By us I mean, Jo, TT, and my new nosy aunts.”
Lei snickered.
“Anything to do with TT and those aunts are right there.”
He chuckled.
“Anyway, the administrators explained why they kept retesting her.”
