“How’s this spot, Zhezhi?” Rover asked.
Rover and Zhezhi took a trip to Shade Ridge on the recommendation of Zhezhi’s artistic peers. Hours prior, Zhezhi came to him, asking if he had enough time to help her with an important art project. He was far from an expert in simple painting, so he tried to explain how little help he might be, but she insisted, saying that she needed to feel comfortable as she took in her surroundings.
“Y-Yes, it’s perfect,” Zhezhi said, taking out her notepad and scanning the distance between them and Jinzhou, noting the landscapes of the mountains beyond. “Thank you so much, Rover. I’ll be too focused on this for a few hours, s-so I hope you don’t mind.”
“Not at all. Just don’t overdo it, okay?”
Rover found it difficult to refuse Zhezhi any further when she begged him to come along on this trip, especially when she looked at him with her pink eyes constantly shaking from the sheer anxiety she must feel towards the outcome of their conversation. He sighed and accepted, allowing her to lead him to Shade Ridge.
Zhezhi jotted down all the details she needed to draw her picture and became hyper-focused on her sketch. Rover didn’t interrupt her at all but saw the fire suddenly burst into her eyes, a stark contrast to how she was when they previously spoke. He sat down next to the small pond to stare at the water, soon noticing the reflection of Zhezhi within. She mumbled to herself while absentmindedly brushing her pencil across her chin before having a eureka moment and scribbling down on the notebook. Rover smiled at how she showed her enthusiasm and wondered how long it would last and how long it would be until he saw it again.
By the end of the day, Rover started having more thoughts of him and Zhezhi. They both walked hand in hand, fingers enlaced like they were in the festival — or rather how it should be in retrospect. The thought of them sneaking kisses in the corners where no one paid attention invoked want within him. He would reach out his hand instinctively and imagine him petting her as she tried to maintain her calm as they kissed.
In his mind, he painted the picture, but it had not yet come to life.
**
The following day, Rover accompanied Zhezhi to the Fireflies Sea for a project to look at the vast landscape to obtain additional inspiration. However, they didn’t anticipate running into a group of dangerous Exiles. The sudden ambush had Zhezhi into a panic; however, Rover bravely fought off their attackers with little expended effort. Each precise swing of his sword that cut down his opponents acted like brush strokes to Zhezhi’s eyes, captivating her to his every move. There, the attraction continued to grow as she could not keep her eyes off him.
Rover successfully routed the attacking Exiles while ensuring no more would replace them. Once he secured the area, everyone finally relaxed and chose a spot to set up camp and relax. The two then embarked from the camp to find a more suitable place for Zhezhi to begin her work, but in Rover’s mind, it was so that they could find the perfect spot to be alone. To that end, Rover took Zhezhi to the abandoned Nostalgia Isle with only a handful of Tacet Discords to take down. They soon sat together at the ruined stage once Rover finished off the monsters.
“R-Rover, um…” Zhezhi fiddled with her fingers as she stared up at the abandoned musical stage complimented by the night sky decorated in shining stars. She struggled to utter a word or formulate a sentence because of her frail heart and spirit.
Rover extended a hand to her and gave a comforting smile. “Take your time, Zhezhi,” he whispered, “I…I want to be honest with you too, but I won’t speak it if you’re not ready.”
“B-But still…” She stammered in her words, her eyes failing to make contact as she stared at the ground. On the verge of losing it and freaking out, she tightly closed her eyes in an attempt to hold it all in.
However, Rover held onto her hand, a finger finding the bottom of her chin to pull her face up to meet his. Zhezhi’s red face spoke it all to him and her darting eyes now widened in shock as her big glasses teetered on the edge of falling off her face. He chuckled and balanced the glasses on her face before cupping her cheek.
“One step at a time. Are you okay if we approach it that way?”
Zhezhi gasped, her heart thumping in her chest as her body shook. Though shaking, her instincts took over and her hands reached up to hold onto his black jacket. “Y-Y-Yes! I-I’d love to, Rover!” She shouted. “I-I…I l-”
“Shh,” Rover put a finger to her mouth to stop her. “Some things are better explained without words. Am I wrong?”
Zhezhi, being an artist, knew what he meant and nodded. Soon his finger left her lips, and she breathed a deep yet nervous sigh that shook like a vehicle on a bumpy road. Regardless, Zhezhi found it in her to at least look into Rover’s gold eyes and muster an accepting smile. She opened her mouth and allowed him to pull her body to his. In a matter of seconds, the two had locked lips together and held each other close for a strong kiss. Each smack of their lips lasted longer than the last as they kept their mouths on each other for a full minute.
Zhezhi’s heart throbbed in her chest as her legs shifted from left to right. Rover’s soft hands caressed her neck and continued south, unbuttoning her dress and moving her white top to expose her breasts.
“A-Aaah!”
Zhezhi’s moans of pleasure excited Rover as he softly suckled the supple mounds of flesh. With a pleasant squeeze, he relished in the sweet moan that escaped her lips before giving her right nipple a gentle tug with his lips. Zhezhi massaged his bulge through Rover’s jeans, in response, earning a surprised groan from him that rippled through her moist breasts.
“Ahhh, R-Rover… it f-feels… so good…” She whimpered.
Rover smiled through his sucking before removing his mouth from her breasts. His eyes moved down towards her white silk pants before leaning in to whisper in her ear.
“I want to do more, Zhezhi. Can I?”
Zhezhi’s eyes moved down towards her pants then back to Rover’s smirk, then back down and up and down and up until she gasped. Her blushing face only signaled to him that he was in for a fun night. With a single movement of his hands, he pulled at her pants, urgently wanting to move on to the next step. Complying with his unspoken wish but lacking the fortitude to speak her mind with confidence, Zhezhi lifted herself to allow him to bring them down to her ankles.
“G-Goodness…th-this feels so…!”
Zhezhi hadn’t the right mind or pure soul to speak as she covered her eyes to shield herself from the embarrassment. All that meant nothing to Rover as he grabbed her wrists and pulled them over her head, his gold eyes piercing her pink.
“Don’t be afraid, Zhezhi. I’m right here.”
His words comforted her in ways she couldn’t properly explain. She didn’t have the time to as he slid the crotch of her panties aside without hesitation and rubbed her clitoris with his index finger.
“Ahhh! R-Rover, p-pl-”
She writhed and moaned louder as he continued to please her. His finger ran circles around her entrance, teasing her delicate, sensitive body as his other hand softly caressed her hair and his lips explored her exposed neck.
“Say it, Zhezhi,” Rover said, already sensing that she was on the verge of climax. “You can do it.”
Zhezhi bit her lip, her natural shy instinct getting the better of her; however, her untapped desire to orgasm by Rover’s strong fingers tempted her so much that all her fears suddenly vanished.
“Yes, Rover! Please, there so I c-can cum!” Zhezhi begged with a loud breathy moan.
Just as Zhezhi asked, Rover cupped her crotch with his hand and massaged her lips with his hand as his finger continued to stroke her clitoris. The time finally arrived and Zhezhi’s hot cum squirted out all over Rover’s hand. As part of her jittered out of her entrance, Rover captured her lips in another deep kiss, his fingers resting at her entrance covered in her white cum.
“There…” Rover whispered to her, lifting his drenched hand to show her the fruits of her labor.
“O-Oh!” Zhezhi whimpered, her shyness soon returning to her eyes as she turned away from him, “I-I’m so s-s-sorry, Rover. I don’t…”
“Shh…” Rover cupped her cheek to force her to look at his eyes and smile. “You did great, taking the first step. This is exactly what I wanted, so thank you, Zhezhi.”
“R-Rover…” Hearing those words brought a comforting smile to her face.
Rover helped Zhezhi up to her feet, although she wobbled a little, struggling to contend with the fact that her leftover cum will drench her pants.
Rover, meanwhile, dealt with conflicting thoughts as he watched her put her clothes on. The more he looked at her delicate, beautiful body, the more he wanted to cum inside of her, but even he admitted how delicate of a soul Zhezhi was. One wrong move — one wrong place or state of mind — and Rover risks losing her. Regardless, he was excited, satisfied even, watching Zhezhi climax but couldn’t understand why he was so afraid.
“Rover?”
Zhezhi’s voice brought him back to reality. He looked at her curious, innocent eyes. “Done already?”
“Y-Yes.” She straightened out her glasses before turning away from his gaze. “W-we should head back b-before T-Tacet Discords find our camp.”
“Sure.”
Rover’s worried frown remained on him, but he tried to hide it from her whenever she looked. There was something about Zhezhi, something he just couldn’t get enough of. He had actually gotten to know her during the festival, and in doing so, wanted nothing more than to make her happy. However, his deep-seated worry remains — one that made him question if he was more trouble than he was worth. He had spent a long time avoiding this very feeling, but the sheer magnitude of it grew over time, causing him to panic mentally.
When they returned to camp, they were both tight-lipped, not wanting to reveal anything to each other.
They only stayed behind at the campfire. One of them had to tend to the fire for the first few hours, but knowing how much the dark scared Zhezhi, Rover volunteered to stay with her. Deep down, he knew that was only an excuse to stay with her longer and not want to sleep.
It didn’t take long for Rover to succumb to his wants again. He couldn’t help but touch her and soon found himself lost in her kiss. She got wet almost immediately, turning him on as his knees weakened with each moan she breathed out. But he didn’t want her to stop stroking him because it filled him with so much pleasure and desire.
“Mmm!” Zhezhi moaned into Rover’s lips.
She had fallen for Rover — she just knew it. His kisses alone made her reel. He put his knee between her legs and continued to kiss her as she rocked back and forth on it. In no time, she had climaxed again. He smiled at her shock and kissed her gently again on the lips.
“I can’t wait to taste that on my lips, Zhezhi,” he said, his smile turning into a grin.
“Wh-Why wait, Rover?” Zhezhi asked with an innocent smile as she slipped her finger inside her crotch, then slid them inside his mouth and followed it with a passionate kiss.
When her cum landed on his tastebuds, Rover’s eyes widened at how surprisingly good she tasted, causing him to crave more. “If I asked you to go anywhere with me, would you?”
“A-Anywhere,” she whispered in his ear.
“Okay…” Rover broke away from her and cupped her cheeks in his palms. “Then, would you like for me to take you somewhere nice once we get back?”
“Y-You’d do that f-for me?!” Her shock caused her glasses to become crooked, but she readjusted them again.
He smiled and kissed her again. “Anything for you, Zhezhi,” he whispered, unable to get enough of the fleeting feeling of kissing Zhezhi’s lips.
**
Rover visited Zhezhi the next day just as he said he would. He took her to his room in the Grand Library where Zhezhi instantly started scribbling down on her art pad. Rover didn’t blame her enthusiasm, given how lovely the scene was from the bottle of wine resting in an ice bucket to the seventh-floor balcony room. There were even tapestries on the wall and a giant canopy bed.
The bed seemed to call Rover to it, asking him to bring Zhezhi along. As much as seeing her draw the art she so loved, he wrapped his arm around her waist to stop her scribbles, earning a giggle from her.
“R-Rover!” Zhezhi said with a smile as her face turned red, “S-Should we enjoy the scene a little more?”
“You’re right,” Rover replied, sharing her same smile before he pulled her towards him, allowing her notepad to hit the ground with a thud, “but I rarely had guests come by and chat with me so… I’m sorry for being a little overzealous. On the bright side, the Grand Library is always quiet at night.” He leaned in and whispered, “Always.”
“R-Rover…” Zhezhi was on the verge of losing herself in his sexy, low voice. Her hands moved on their own as if her mind guided them like a paintbrush that stroked against his extended member under his pants.
Rover smirked and pulled her against her. “Zhezhi…”
Rover’s excitement throbbed in Zhezhi’s hands as she undressed him. She savored every minute of it, slowly pulling his shirt off and touching his bare chest with her fingertips. Then she let her hands wander down his back to his waistband and slid them inside his pants, grabbing his ass tightly. She brought her hands around his sides and, for the first time, felt his rock-hard cock in her hands. As Rover released loud and excited grunts, Zhezhi completely disrobed him and explored every crevice of his beautiful body with her fingertips as if studying a fine piece of silk between her fingertips.
Rover, in turn, began undressing her, exposing her delicate body to his lips to kiss. Each kiss grew more seductive and wet, eventually transitioning into sucking and licking on her neck to draw out the loveliest moan ever to escape her mouth. His soft hands cupped her succulent breasts. He traced his fingers downwards across her slim back to her ass. A firm squeeze was all he needed for her to moan in ecstasy. Rover smiled at how much love he gave her and how much she enjoyed every second. He gently placed her on the bed and crept on top of her.
Placing a hand on her quaking lips, Rover whispered, “I’m going to start nice and slow, Zhezhi. Are you ready?”
Zhezhi could only muster up a light whimper and a nod of her head as she closed her eyes.
Knowing how frightening the experience could be for her, Rover took a deep breath and slowly slid his cock inside her moist, warm pussy.
Zhezhi’s eyes snapped open. She almost shrieked at the new, surprising feeling of Rover slipping inside of her before the man in question covered her mouth, shushing her tenderly as he moved his hips forward slowly and steadily. As more of his length penetrated her, Zhezhi’s mind went black, and her moans turned more seductive — a concept she never knew until her body and mind started acting on instinct.
With a slow thrust, Rover released a bit of his cum into her as an appetizer, making sure not to overwhelm her right from the start. He then kissed and caressed her as he allowed her time to settle and relax before slowly pulling out to hear her breathe out a sigh.
“Are you okay, Zhezhi?” He asked, tenderly tracing his fingers along her slender arms.
“Y-Yes… I-I…” Zhezhi held back the urge to turn her eyes away from his, breathing out another sigh before whispering, “C-Can we do it again, R-Rover? Please…?”
Rover gasped at first, Zhezhi’s request shocking him into silence. Soon a smile crept onto his face.
“Of course, Zhezhi, but I’d like to get a little closer to you.”
With a motion of his hands, he flipped Zhezhi onto her stomach on the edge of the bed. As she let out a surprised gasp, he pulled her hips to his face and opened his mouth to lash out his tongue into her. Zhezhi jolted to the feel of Rover’s wet tongue eating her out. She bit her lips, her eyes rolling upwards as her mind short-circuited and her body shook like a rattle at every suck that came from his mouth. In an instant, her cum washed over his mouth and nose. Her body lumped onto the bed as her breathing turned jagged and hot.
Rover licked his lips and nose, making sure not a single drop of Zhezhi went to waste. Feeling his cock solidify again, he reached for her shoulder to pull her up; however, she grabbed his wrist and looked back at him with a smile.
“P-Please, allow me, R-Rover,” Zhezhi whispered. Though she stammered, her tone carried a little more confidence than when she usually spoke.
Rover couldn’t process right away as Zhezhi turned around and softly pushed him onto the pillows, quickly positioning herself on top of his cock while he leaned back and stared at her glowing features. When she slid her entrance onto his cock, his eyes rolled in his head. Rover slid his head down on the pillow, taking in how exhilarating having Zhezhi ride him was. They rocked in unison, their grunts and moans in sync with each other. It started slow and gentle, but it soon became clear that Zhezhi had gotten comfortable, allowing Rover to quicken the pace with her, causing their pants and huffs to grow louder.
“R-Rover! C-Cum… AH!” Was all Zhezhi managed to say before she couldn’t take it anymore, her body erratically shaking as her orgasm descended. Her pussy tightened around Rover’s dick and her mind blanked out for a moment, utter bliss overcoming her.
Not soon after she removed herself from his wet cock, Zhezhi went down and licked the cum left and gently sucked him. Rover pulled his foreskin back and let her slide her tongue around the head of his penis.
“N-Ngh!” Rover shook with each suck she gave to him. “Z-Zhezhi!”
He tried to warn her of the rising tide, but his erection was too fast and powerfully washed over Zhezhi’s mouth. Zhezhi popped her mouth out, trying to suck the salty cum into her mouth but coughing at the same time.
“Zhezhi!” Rover shouted, trying to pat her bare back, “Sorry. I didn’t warn you in time.”
Zhezhi allowed her throat to settle, wiping away the remaining cum from her mouth before smiling. “I-I’m sorry, R-Rover. I-I couldn’t resist. I…”
Rover smiled and kissed her forehead. “It’s alright. We can both share in the blame tonight. Maybe we should-”
“Wait!” She shouted, holding onto his shoulder, her cheeks blushing bright red. “O-One more time, R-Rover. Please…?”
He widened his eyes at her request. “Are you sure? I-If we keep going, you’ll…”
“I-I’ll be fine. You f-felt so good and…”
Rover smiled and nodded. “Alright, but this time…” He leaned forward, pushing her onto the other side of the bed while tightly gripping her hips. “…we’re going all out.”
Rover didn’t allow Zhezhi another second of pause as he slammed his cock inside her, drawing out her pleasureful cries and watching her tightly grip whatever fabric her fingers could touch. He pounded her with the fastest pace he could muster, feeling his balls roughly slapping against her cheeks.
“AH! Rover!” Zhezhi cried out, feeling his long, hard cock penetrating the deepest parts of her walls, unable to take any more as her body boiled like lava. She threw her head back, no longer carrying for how embarrassing the display of Rover fucking her was. “I feel… so good!”
Rover felt the same, wanting only Zhezhi and no one else. “Me too, Zhezhi!” He moaned, speeding up his thrusting, jack-hammering her pussy to bring as much delight to her night as humanly possible. Eventually, he couldn’t hold it on any longer, feeling his own orgasm approaching. He thrust faster, wanting to feel as much of her as he could. Zhezhi sensed it, blindly pushing her own hips to match Rover’s thrusts, loving the feeling of his dick pushing deep inside her and the adrenaline of nearing climax.
They cried out each other’s names in unison as they both came at the same time. Rover’s thrusting slowed, becoming uneven and jerky as he shot his seed inside Zhezhi. Each shot made her moan dazedly while filling her up. Once everything settled, Rover slowly pulled out, his sensitive cock tingling as he dripped with sweat. Zhezhi, however, collapsed from exhaustion. Her body rested beside him on the bed, her peaceful sighs bringing amity into the bedroom. It didn’t take long for Rover to close his eyes to rest after the weary night.
**
Rover woke up a few hours later to Zhezhi’s body in his embrace like spoons in a drawer. He glanced at the disheveled covers and the remaining stains from last night. Smiling at the realization that last night wasn’t a dream he kissed the back of Zhezhi’s neck and caressed her bare body silhouetted by the thin crevice of light shining in between the barely opened curtains.
Eventually, Rover broke away to get some fresh air and clear his mind. He slipped his pants back on, grabbed his Pangu Terminal, and then gently slid open the sliding glass door leading to the balcony. Moving the balcony chair to sit where the wind was, he felt his worries blow away from the open door and then sat down, reliving the last few hours and days with Zhezhi. Rover didn’t know if he ever shared an experience with another woman in the past — the thought worried him immensely. However, if he did have sex with a woman in the past, the feelings from it must have never lasted, the sands of time weakening the connection until nothing remained.
Zhezhi was different, Rover thought. She was shy, reserved, and far kinder than he could ever be, but her intelligence and maturity were well above anything he expected since he first met her. Still, he needed time to himself with the fresh Jinzhou air clearing his mind. He wanted to stay in bed with Zhezhi in his arms, but he quickly learned how low her energy was. Rover usually didn’t care if his kindness would offend people, but something about Zhezhi was different. It mattered to him that she would be anxious if she woke up with her body in his arms.
Rover’s biggest concern, however, was what Zhezhi had chosen to do just a few hours ago. He was prepared to stop so as not to overdo it with her body, but she had completely shocked him by allowing him to cum inside her for the third time. Rover pondered for a while, starting to wonder if she wanted to stay with him forever. That was his hope, but he questioned his own qualifications.
Rover knew he would never be the perfect husband. He knew Zhezhi was desperately in love with him, but the possibility of her being on the rebound frightened him. Zhezhi couldn’t really be in love with me, he told himself. He secretly hoped that wasn’t true — feeling himself deep inside her was too euphoric for it to amount to nothing.
Everything about Zhezhi was wonderful. Her long, brown hair, olive skin, and large pink eyes were the most beautiful features he had ever seen in a woman.
“What am I going to do?” He thought to himself, knowing his time with her couldn’t last. Rover’s next stop was Rinascita at the end of the week, but there was no room in his life for a relationship right now. Despite that, he just couldn’t imagine life without Zhezhi either.
Rover took one last look at his Pangu Terminal, hoping to distract himself from his internal thoughts, but he put it away knowing his efforts were futile. He knew what he had to do, but worried more for what Zhezhi would say. Regardless, he stood up, determined to just get it over with, and walked back into the dimly lit room. His eyes had to adjust to the low light again and he blinked a couple of times as he walked towards the bed.
His eyes widened when he looked at nothing but an empty bed.
“Zhezhi?”
Rover searched for her in the room until he heard the shower running. Briefly sighing, he decided to join her. He removed his pants and walked into the bathroom. She hummed in the shower and his heart sank even further. Just the sound of her voice was enough to make his heart skip a beat. He slid the shower door open and smiled at her beautiful face in the shower.
“Hi there, Zhezhi.”
That was all Rover could say as he slid into the shower with her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her tight to his chest.
“Good m-morning, Rover,” Zhezhi whispered, leaning into his embrace.
Her slippery body lathered in soap felt incredibly arousing pressed against his. He closed his eyes and gave into her once again. This time, the unbridled passion had him exploring her even more deeply with his lips.
“Ah…” Zhezhi moaned softly, looking at him out of the corner of her eye, “H-Here, R-Rover?”
“Mm… yes, Zhezhi,” he whispered, kissing every part of her body and losing himself inside her again, “Here…”
Rover chuckled, rocking his hips back and forth as he fucked her again, this time more gently and slowly. Soft slaps echoed throughout the bathroom as his hips hit her ass with Zhezhi’s moans following, echoing off the walls. He wasn’t deep enough to fill her pussy completely, but enough that it sent pleasurable shocks across her body as he fucked her in the shower.
But then panic took over Rover’s mind, forcing him to pull out just before he came.
Zhezhi turned around, one look in his eyes telling her everything. She smiled through her pants and pulled him closer.
“It’s okay, Rover,” she said clearly.
“It’s not okay,” Rover replied, pulling a towel from the towel rack and walking out of the bathroom dripping wet.
Feeling dejected, Zhezhi started wondering if she had done something wrong. Her anxiety started creeping into her mind at the idea of Rover not wanting her anymore. Not wanting that nightmare to become reality, she pulled a towel around her and stormed out of the bathroom to face him.
“U-Um, Rover,” she started to say, “A-Are you… h-having regrets?”
“Regrets?” Rover tried to act surprised, but deep down he knew why she asked.
“A-About… y-you know…”
Noticing Zhezhi on the verge of tears, Rover interrupted her. “No, no, Zhezhi. It’s not like that.”
“R-Really?” Zhezhi’s eyes turned to the ground.
“Believe me. I want nothing more than to make love to you without inhibition,” Rover played with his hair to distract himself from the growing regret, “but what happened earlier can’t happen again. You understand, don’t you?” However, the look in her eyes told him she didn’t. He realized he had hurt her. “All I want is to make you happy, Zhezhi,” he continued, turning his face from her tearing eyes, “but… I’ll be going to Rinascita at the end of the week and…”
Then it dawned on Zhezhi. She walked over to him, took his face in her hands — letting her towel drop at his feet — and brought his lips to her mouth to softly kiss him.
“There’s no need to be afraid, Rover,” Zhezhi whispered in his ear, “No matter where you go, you won’t lose me. Not ever because I love you too.”
Rover’s eyes widened, shocked at how she managed to find the courage to speak her true feelings. He smiled and wrapped his arms around her, dropping his towel too. He kissed her passionately, full of love he knew he could only feel towards her.
“If you’ll have me, Zhezhi, I promise to spend the rest of my life making you happy.”
“Don’t promise. Show me,” she replied as she pulled him on top of her on the bed and guided him inside her once more.
Rover throbbed inside her slowly and continued to look at her beautiful features as he fell deeper and deeper into her with each thrust.
She said it! Then she screamed it!
