Sorry for the wait, really 🥲 but now I can give some inspiring content. I will do it from the Lin Kuei brothers, its a gift uwu.
How the Lin Kuei brothers react to you being insecure of your body after giving birth.
Bi han ❄️
You were in the room, the dim lamp barely illuminating your silhouette.
In front of the mirror, you observed the marks that pregnancy and childbirth had left on your body: the sagging skin, the cellulite, and the stretch marks. Your hands uncertainly ran over your skin, and a lump in your throat prevented you from breathing. Hearing firm footsteps approaching, you hurriedly covered yourself with a blanket and turned your body, turning your back to the door.
The door opened and Bi-Han entered, with that imposing presence he always carried with him. He closed the door behind him and remained silent, analyzing the scene: you cowered, almost as if you were trying to disappear under the fabric.
-Why are you hiding?-Sub-Zero asked, his voice deep and sharp.
You tensed, lowering your gaze.
-I don't want you to see me... not like this.- you admitted with difficulty.
Bi-Han's brow furrowed. He walked toward you with slow, measured steps and stopped just behind your shoulder. He extended his hand and, with a firm movement, tried to remove the cloak you were holding tightly.
-Please leave it.- you whispered, not daring to look at him.
-Look at me.- He commanded, in that tone that rarely brooked a reply.
You raised your eyes with difficulty and met his icy gaze, fixed, intense, impossible to ignore. Bi-Han took the cloak with a brusque gesture and removed it from your grasp, revealing what you were trying so hard to hide.
The silence stretched. You trembled, waiting for some cold comment or an expression of disgust. But on Bi-Han's face, there was no rejection, only a deep gravity that hid something else.
-Your body speaks of your strength.-He finally said, his voice deep and measured.
-You have endured more pain and sacrifice than many warriors could. That is not weakness... it is greatness.- The cryomancer began.
You looked at him, lips parted, surprised by his words.
His index finger gently traced the line of a stretch mark across his side.
-This.- he murmured, his voice laden with an intensity that made you shudder.-Is where your skin expanded to make room for his growth. It is the mark of his first victory: claiming his territory.
His hand slid down to the soft curve of your lower abdomen.
-And this... this is the fortress you built for him, the bastion that kept him safe when the outside world was still a threat. It is softer, yes. because it is a mattress, an armor designed to cushion and protect, each of these lines is a reminder of a day you fought for him, fed him with your own body, sustained him against all odds, they are the marks of the most successful campaign ever waged in this temple .- He said finally.
Bi-Han raised his gloved hand and, with a clumsy but determined gesture, caressed your cheek. His eyes remained fixed on yours, conveying an intensity that replaced any obvious tenderness.
-You will not hide from me again. You are my wife, and you are worthy. Even more so now… that you have brought our son into the world.- He said in his husky but sweet voice.
A sob escaped your lips, and you lowered your gaze, overwhelmed. Bi-Han leaned his face and rested his forehead against yours, holding the back of your neck firmly.
-You are mine.- He murmured harshly, though there was something broken in his tone, more intimate than any kind words. -And I won't let you think otherwise.
You closed your eyes, allowing yourself to be enveloped in the security of his embrace. In that instant, you understood that, although his gestures weren't gentle like those of other men, Bi-Han's strength carried with it absolute devotion. He loved you in his own way: with ice, with intensity, with an iron protection that would never break.
Glancing sideways at the crib, where your son slept peacefully, you felt Bi-Han's words weigh even more: you were not just his wife, you were the mother of his heir. And in the Grandmaster's eyes, that had elevated you even higher in his world, in his heart.
Tomas 💭
The room was dim, lit only by the soft light of an oil lamp. The baby slept in his makeshift crib, breathing calmly, while you sat on the edge of the bed, holding the blanket against his chest.
You had avoided looking at yourself in the mirror since birth. Your hands brushed against his still-soft belly, the marks on your skin, the feeling of not fully recognizing yourself. When you heard Tomas's footsteps approaching, you lowered your eyes, afraid he might see it on his face.
-Are you tired?- He asked softly, with that tenderness he seemed to reserve only for you.
You shook your head gently, but couldn't stop the uncertain murmur that escaped your lips:
-I'm not the same anymore... I don't want you to see me like this- You admitted shamefully.
Tomas frowned, surprised. He knelt before you, taking your hands with a gentleness that contrasted with the firmness of his grip on the battlefield.
-Like this?- He repeated, looking straight into your eyes. -I see you as the woman who gave me the most valuable thing in my life.
She looked away, feeling the tears well up.
-But I'm covered in scars... I'm not beautiful anymore- Tou said, averting your gaze. That confession was the hardest for you to make.
Tomas sighed, leaning down to kiss her hands again and again. Then he brought one of them to his own face, pressing it against his cheek as if he wanted to etch it into his skin.
-Your scars are proof of your strength. Of your love.- His voice cracked slightly, sincere. -Every mark you bear, I honor. Because they mean that you brought our son into the world. There's nothing more beautiful than that.
Carefully, he slid the blanket from your shoulders, and instead of looking with curiosity or judgment, he caressed you with reverence. His lips lingered on the indentations on your belly, in a gesture that was more devotion than desire.
-You are my home- He whispered against your skin. -And you always will be, no matter how you change.
You, trembling, felt your insecurity slowly melt away, replaced by the certainty that for Tomas, your beauty lay not in perfection, but in the love you shared and the family you had formed together.
He held you against his chest, not rushing anything, simply protecting you with his warmth, as if in his arms there was no room for doubt, only for calm.
The following days were a whirlwind of emotions. The tiredness, the sleepless nights, the baby's crying... and, amidst all of that, the persistent feeling that her body was no longer the same. Sometimes, when he wasn't looking, you covered yourself with looser clothes or avoided lighting the oil lamp.
But Tomás seemed to notice, even though she tried to hide it. He never asked you directly he knew exposing yourself would only make you feel more vulnerable. Instead, he expressed it with gestures.
Every morning, when you woke up with your hair disheveled and your eyes puffy, he would look at you with a gentle smile and say; "You look more beautiful than ever."
When you tried to hold the baby even though you were exhausted, he gently intervened:
"Let me do it, you need to rest. Our son is lucky to have such a strong mother."
And every time you lowered your eyes, uncertain, he would wrap his arms around you and lean into your ear: "Don't hide from me. Everything you are belongs to me, and I love it."
At first, those words made you cry. But little by little, they began to heal the invisible wound of his insecurities.
One afternoon, as Tomas rocked the baby by the window, you watched him silently. The steadfast warrior, the disciplined former Lin Kuei, seemed like a completely different man when he held his son. He had infinite patience, his large hands were incredibly tender as he arranged the blanket, his voice became an almost musical whisper as he rocked him.
You approached the space, wrapped your arms around Tomas's back, and rested your forehead between his shoulder blades.
-Thank you...- you murmured, your voice thick with emotion. -Thank you for not letting me doubt myself, for loving me even when I couldn't.
Tomás turned his face just enough to touch her cheek with his.
-Loving you is the easiest thing I've ever done.- He replied calmly.
You felt like those words were an oath.
Looking at your husband and son together, you understood that you didn't need to go back to "the same as before." Your body, your scars, your tiredness... all of that now had a purpose. Tomas reminded you of that daily, with every gesture, with every glance filled with a love that knew no conditions or demands.
And in that moment, as you squeezed your hand over his, you knew you wanted to thank him always, not just with words, but with every day of the life you would build together.
Kuai Liang🔥
You stood in front of the mirror, wearing a light robe that revealed the fresh marks of her pregnancy. You gently ran your hand over her now-empty belly, along with the scars that remained and the sagging skin she had now. The joy of having a healthy baby was immense, but that night, insecurity weighed on her shoulders.
When you heard footsteps behind you, you quickly tried to cover yourself, but Kuai Liang was already there, silent, watching her with that attentive gaze that always disarmed her.
-You don't have to look at me like that...- you murmured, lowering your gaze. -I know my body isn't the same anymore. Maybe... maybe you don't like it like it used to.
For a moment, there was silence. You thought he wouldn't know how to respond, but then Kuai Liang approached, with that implacable calm that characterized him, and took your hands, removing them from his body.
-Your body.- He said slowly, his tone grave but laden with restrained emotion, -Is the body of the woman I love. It's the body that gave birth to our child; it's the most sacred thing to me.
You looked at him, your eyes glassy. Scorpion didn't usually speak that way, but now he did so with an intensity that left no doubt.
-Never again think you're less than you were- He continued, brushing his fingertips over the scars on her belly. -These marks are proof of your strength, of your dedication. They remind me why I fell in love with you: for your courage, for your kindness... for everything you are.
He leaned his forehead against yours, closing his eyes for a moment.
-You are more beautiful now than you ever were- He whispered -because now you bear within you the imprint of the most sacred thing in our lives: our child.
You burst into tears, but not from sadness. You hugged him tightly, letting Kuai Liang's warmth and firmness erase your doubts.
And he, though serious as ever, held you with reverent care, as if nothing else existed in the world but you and the fruit of your union.
The next day, you were calm at the temple. You tried to fix yourself up in front of the mirror, but your movements were clumsy: the difficult birth had left your body tired, and every time you tried to raise your arms to comb your hair, you felt a nagging pain in your abdomen.
Kuai Liang appeared silently, as always. He watched for a moment, unannounced, until he noticed the look of frustration on your face.
-Let me help you.-e said, in that firm, calm voice that brooked no argument, though it didn't sound authoritarian.
You opened your mouth to refuse, but before you could, he had already taken the brush with a gentleness unexpected in a warrior like him. He stood behind you and began to comb your hair slowly, patiently, careful with each movement so as not to hurt her.
-You shouldn't be pushing yourself so hard yet.- He murmured, and for the first time in a long time, his tone sounded almost tender.
You looked at him from the reflection in the mirror, your eyes full of emotion.
-I don't want you to see me as weak,-You admitted, embarrassed.
The pyromancer paused for a moment in the movement of the brush and held your gaze through the mirror.
-You are not weak.-He said seriously.
-You survived something many wouldn't have endured, and you gave birth to our child... there is greater strength than that- He said calmly.
After finishing combing her hair, he took some ointment Harumi had given him to help heal the scars. Carefully, he knelt in front of you and began applying it to your stomach, his hands firm but gentle.
You lowered your gaze, feeling embarrassed at first, but he stopped you with a gesture.
-Don't hide these marks from me. They're part of you, and part of what we share- He said reverently.
His face remained serious, but his actions spoke louder than words. Each caress was a reminder that for Kuai Liang, you hadn't lost your beauty, but had gained something else: respect, admiration, and an eternal place in his heart.
When he finished, he leaned down and kissed her belly with a solemn, almost reverent gesture.
-You'll never feel alone in this again.- He promised her softly. -Not you, nor our child.
You couldn't hold back your tears. And he, though not a man of effusive gestures, wrapped his arms around you and held you with the firmness of a warrior, but the gentleness of a man in love.

Part One: Lin Kuei Guard Dog
You could still remember when you were a child alongside Bi-Han, always jumping to his defence and always obeying every single command that he gave; he was bossy and stubborn and self-centred even then, but you would never hear a thing about it.
Things had not changed much since then, even if you now shared his bed and woke up to find his cold fingertips on your shoulder; he would deny it every time, so you pushed it from your mind. Still obedient and loyal as ever, still his own guard dog; he would take you to his meetings, his dealings with other clans, and you were always standing behind him, waiting for the command.
He rarely had to take the muzzle off, you still obeyed every single command without question; he would say jump, you would jump.
He would introduce you as his fiance to those he knew would not use such a thing against him, and they would not believe it; they would not believe that the man they looked at when they glanced your way was the one Bi-Han had settled for.
They always assumed that he would have had a political marriage, but they saw how he treated you; how he was a little more lenient and tolerant towards your presence; he never barked at you to get out of the room, always told you to stay for confidential talks.
He didn’t even allow Cyrax and Sektor that privilege, and they were tied for second most loyal Lin Kuei.
You did spend a lot of time lost in thought, though, remembering all the years that you had been at his side; back when you were a pup and you were still as loyal to him then as you were now.
None of the other children training on Lin Kuei grounds liked him, he was always too gruff and too stubborn and, at times, a bit of a bully; you stayed at his side. If he got caught causing fights, you would always show that your bite was worse than your back, always holding the fort up when it came to his defence.
He had always been the king of the castle, and you had always been the loyal guard dog at his feet; you had always been his best friend, usually his only friend. You lived for his praises, as cold and short as they were; you adored the way he told you that you did a good job, that you were a fine warrior for him.
You had been so young and innocent back then, you did not know better, and you still did not know better; the older you got, the more loyal you became.
You were still his only confidant, you were still his best friend, and now you were going to marry him and you weren’t sure how you thought about it, if you were honest; you didn’t want him to worry when you were out on business, dealing with whatever he sent you to, you didn’t want him to panic if you ever got an injury or came home with a new bruise.
You didn’t want to marry him, if it meant that he would be stressed; so, one fine sunny afternoon whilst everyone else was training, you snuck into his office, and decided that you would attempt to talk to him about it.
“Grandmaster?” You cleared your throat, and he glared at you for half of a second before his gaze softened ever so slightly.
“Bi-Han,” he corrected with a soft growl. “What do you want?”
You dared to approach, holding your hands behind your back as you coughed out a little bit and shook your head. He seemed to notice your nervousness, furrowing his brows as he looked at how your gaze shifted to the various details in his office, including the framed photograph of two of you when he had brought you with him to Egypt.
You were stood beside him, hands clasped behind your back as he stood beside you stone faced. The top of the sky was a dull pinkish colour, fading into lilac as the dark greyish purple pyramids stood proudly behind you; he had awkwardly put his arms around you after it had been taken, pulling you close as he growled out that he did not want you to leave him.
Maybe that was where it had all begun.
Slowly, Bi-Han got up, circling around you as he hummed and nodded in approval; you were looking around nervously, until he paused next to you, and cleared his throat.
“You look well today,” he hissed. “And before you keep thinking about it, yes, I do think this is a good idea. You are my most competent, loyal, obedient warrior. I am not going to worry about you.”
He watched the nervousness fall from your shoulders, and was hit with an odd feeling; you had done that before, back when you were children and he had been caught pushing Kuai Liang down the stairs, and you had, as always, ran to his defence.
Barking at his father about how Kuai Liang had been picking on poor Bi-Han; you were nervous then, when you knew that you were lying but your loyalty had pushed you to do it, and he remembered putting his hand on your shoulder to thank you, just in time to see it drop from your shoulders again. He remembered that time, along with the others.
He could still remember that time back in the autumn when you had refused to leave his side to the point where you slept on the floor by the side of his bed; he had been nursing a particularly nasty broken leg, and had no choice but to stay in bed whilst you protected him, staying by his side and only moving away to get him whatever he asked.
He could still remember how he had snapped at you and shouted at you for being so fucking clingy, and you had said nothing in return, just stayed right there; even at his worst, when he had taken his shit out on you, you still stayed. You still stayed loyal, still stayed right at his side; he was certain that that was the first time he had ever felt guilt for anything. It didn’t last long, but it did happen.
More often than not these days, you were together all day long anyway, and that was mostly your fault rather than his; you always insisted on keeping an eye on him, on being close and protecting him. It was never a shock when he went into a room and didn’t hear the door slam behind him just to see you creeping in; it was never a shock when he looked up from doing something to see you nearby.
You were always close, always nearby, and he liked that; he had always liked that you followed him around like a stray, and that you lapped at his attention like one, too. Unwavering loyalty that should have gotten on his nerves but never did; he did think about giving you a name, like how his brother Tomas was called Smoke, but Shadow was a little cliche and he chastised Cyrax and Sektor for agreeing to give you such a title.
Slowly, Bi-Han made his way to the door, and you followed closely, your brows furrowing and your fingers shaking when he took his hand in yours; it was tight, almost bruising, and your breath hitched in the back of your throat as you looked at what should have been a small sign of affection.
He grumbled, locking the door and raising his brows slightly, brown eyes filled with that glint that you would always remember; it was the same one that he had when he had first asked to court you, and the same one that he had had when you agreed.
You relaxed, and his grip grew a little looser, but you didn’t miss a step as you followed him to the window and watched him draw the blinds. For most, holding hands was a small and simple little affectionate thing, for Bi-Han to hold your hand, you weren’t exactly sure what it had meant.
He coaxed you to sit on his desk, letting the afternoon light creep in through the cracks in the blinds, staring into his eyes as you put your hands on his shoulders; his hands went to your thighs, keeping you there before he sighed, closing his eyes as you pressed your forehead to his.
Every bit of tension dropped from you as you put one hand at the back of his neck, bending over as you grumbled under your breath; his breathing slowed, cold and controlled breaths hitting your skin as you swallowed hard. You had known Bi-Han for years, you could not remember a time without him; you weren’t sure why he was making you more nervous by the day.
You didn’t want to initiate anything, you couldn’t bring yourself to initiate anything, as you thought that if you did, he would suddenly call everything off, and he would abandon you; you figured that if you stepped out of your position as his guard dog even a little bit, he would call you an embarrassment and cast you out.
“Something is wrong,” he growled out eventually, pulling back and staring up at you as he tilted his head and squinted slightly, trying to see if he could tell just by focusing on the details of your face and your eyes. “Tell me.”
“I don’t really understand what I did to gain this kind of affection from you,” you admitted. “You said I would soon enough, but the wedding’s coming up and I-”
Slowly, he smiled, and cleared his throat. “There’s a bottle of that rum you like in the second drawer. Take it, drink it, and I’ll explain.”
You did as he said, grabbing the bottle and opening it; it was chilled to the exact way you liked it, and you looked at him nervously as he stood back, and watched you.
“Do you remember the time, when you refused to leave my side after I’d broken my leg?”
You nodded, still sure that that autumn had left you with a permanent crick in your neck from where you had slept on the floor every single night; you could still remember how he had gotten you to run out and get food and get drinks and get anything else he wanted, and you had done it at the drop of a hat without daring to question it.
You remembered that autumn well, and you never wanted to forget it; the way that he had been a little more generous with his praises, the way that he slept with his hand dangled down so his fingertips were brushing against your shoulder. You never wanted to forget that.
“Do you remember our trip to Egypt to meet our allies?” He asked, and again, you nodded. “You have shown incredible loyalty, you are competent, you are capable, and you are obedient. You always have been… you have always been my favourite guard dog. Since we were children, you have always been at my side. I do not wish for that to stop.”
You smiled a little, taking a swig of the rum and hoping that the liquid courage would at least give you a little bit of relief from how nervous you were suddenly feeling; it felt like a break-up, if you were honest, and you hated the thought of that.
“You have always been my closest ally,” Bi-Han carried on, “and Egypt made me realise that… I don’t need anyone, you know that. But I do want you around, permanently.”
You cleared your throat. Fuck it. “Do you love me?”
He nodded once. You had your answer, and breathed out a sigh of relief.
“Do you remember the time you came to my chambers crying?” He asked, and you hummed in agreement as you took another swig from the bottle of rum. “You told me that you had had trouble with one of our classmates when he had called you a name. I dealt with it, and I said that I would never let you cry again.”
You scoffed out a quiet laugh, trying to hide it as you swallowed hard and let out a shaky breath. “You nearly took his spine out, Grandmas-”
“Bi-Han,” he corrected with a growl. “When will you realise, you are not one of them anymore?”
You shrugged, shaking your head as you cleared your throat and looked down. “My apologies.”
“Good boy,” he saw the way your attention snapped to him again, the way you clenched your jaw a little bit and slid back on the desk ever so slightly. He saw the excitement in your eyes, and took note of it. “Do you remember when we first met?”
You nodded. “Your father took me to meet you before the others. He said we’d be good together. We’d make a good team.”
“The only thing the old fool was right about,” he hissed out, slotting himself between your legs and sighing as he took hold of the bottom of the bottle and let his ice cool it so it would stay just right. “I will always remember that day.”
When you thought about it, there was one time in particular that you could never shake from your mind; it was long ago, and you doubted that he would remember it.
But it was always there, at the back of your mind whenever you looked at him; it was one memory that you always kept to yourself, just so you could think back on it and smile whenever you did.
You bit the inside of your bottom lip as you thought about it again for a moment, looking at his brown eyes and how focused on you they were; you did not want to touch despite your body telling you to, you did not want to make a move in case he rejected it and told you that the marriage was little more than politics. You focused on holding the bottle, your fingertips gracing his for a moment and making you shake your head.
Egypt had been the real turning point, when you finally realised that you never wanted to be without him, that you would never want to be around another man the way that you did with him; you could never be so protective of anyone else, you could never be so loyal to anyone else.
Everything that you were, it belonged to Bi-Han, and only to Bi-Han. What had happened back then, on that hot summer night, that had been the time that you and Bi-Han had fallen in love for good, when something inside of you both clicked so tightly that it could never be pulled apart, it was stuck. It would always be stuck.
It was impossible not to remember it, it was impossible not to think about it, and you both knew that a little too well; you did not need asking, he knew that you remembered it. He did not doubt his guard dog, his childhood best friend; he might have doubted anyone else, he definitely did not think anyone else was as intelligent as him, but he was more lenient with you.
You weren’t as smart, but you were smarter than most, and you had certainly earned his lack of doubt and his lack of skepticism. You were special to him, and he had made it clear for so long but you had been completely oblivious for much longer. He all but had to spell it out for you and then get you to repeat it back to him.
“Do you remember when my brothers and I were away?” He asked with a growl to his voice, and you nodded slowly. “I detested that you could not come with us. You should have been there, not Tomas… he was not as competent as you, not as strong. He was not as capable as you are. You… you are the only other person besides myself that I trust.”
You took two more swigs from the bottle, and feeling that it was about to hit you with more weight than a boulder, you screwed the lid back on, and put it aside for later; the liquid courage was beginning to flow through your veins, making you a little braver as you put your hand on his shoulder and let the other rest at the back of his neck, pulling him closer between your legs as you grumbled quietly.
“But we used to talk on the phone,” you pointed out quietly, daring to trail your hand from his shoulder to his belt as you hummed under your breath. “It’s a shame we didn’t put all that talking to good use.”
Bi-Han paused, pleasantly surprised by your bravery and your courage as he leaned into you, grabbing your thigh tightly as he softly bit at your neck. “And what should we have done to put it to good use?”
You shuddered as he sucked on the skin, cold breath meeting hot flesh as you tugged on his belt and groaned softly. “You could have sent me pictures, let me know what I was missing… gotten me all going for you…”
“We were on the phone at night ‘til dawn,” Bi-Han growled out with a gruff, smug, chuckle. “I don’t think you would have lasted that long, pup.”
You groaned softly, hips jerking as you let out a shuddering breath; he was quick, snapping his belt out and letting you take his cock in your hand, grumbling at how you slid from the desk and peppered short kisses up and down the shaft, lapping up his precum as you started to run your fist up and down it, making him groan and seethe as he bit down on his bottom lip and harshly let out a curt, cold praise.
He sucked in a harsh breath when you took him into your mouth, looking up at him and taking him all the way back, your nose brushing against the thick black curls at the base as he slammed his hand on the desk to steady himself; short ragged breaths leaving his mouth as he growled out for you to keep going, his mouth suddenly dry as you let him fuck your mouth, letting him rut and snap his hips against you enough to make you whimper, the noises sending little vibrations right through him.
Enough to make his eyes roll a little as he tried to keep hold of his resolve, tried to keep control of himself.
“I love you, so I’ll never let you go,” he breathed out, not even realising or caring what he had said.
It didn’t matter, you probably didn’t hear it with how hard he was fucking your throat coupled with the slurping and gulping sounds that you were making. Humping the air as you used both hands to help your mouth.
Fuck, it was his favourite sight all of a sudden; you were so eager to please him, so eager to win his affection, so eager for him. You were so good for him, obeying every command, chasing the praise and chasing the way he humped your mouth and used it like a toy.
It didn’t feel the same way as when you were both around twenty and had decided to experiment with each other one spring; it wasn’t clumsy and awkward, it wasn’t exactly great and he only lasted a minute, but fuck, if it didn’t feel so good now.
You were taking his cock better than he ever thought possible, soft little hums and groans mixing with the slurping and sucking sounds as you tilted your head to the side ever so slightly, giving him better access to almost every bit of your throat, so warm and wet and welcoming that he couldn’t help the way his head tilted back, exposing his throat as he snapped his hips into you, feeling you drool all over him as he grunted and groaned lowly. The sounds animalistic and gruffer than the way he usually spoke.
You pulled away, grinning up at him as the drool connected your tongue to his cock like the best lead in the world, his brown eyes slightly widened, his breath getting harder and harsher as he watched you swirl your tongue around his tip; you peppered it with kisses, licked every single bit of it before slowly taking his cock all the way to the back of your throat again.
Bobbing your head up and down as you allowed your tongue to fall flat against the underside each time, licking a long stripe up it as drool slipped from your lips and splashed down to the floor. Every gruff and low moan of his sounding like birds singing the morning after a particularly bad storm.
Fuck, Bi-Han would never forget the sight of you like that; on your knees and so greedily, hungrily, taking his cock whilst refusing to touch yourself despite how tented your trousers were.
Just completely focused on him, needing to feel him fill your throat just so you could swallow it and lick him clean; he was getting closer by the second, and he didn’t want it to stop. So he pulled away, looking down at you and how you whimpered, and he growled softly; you didn’t make a single move, staying right there with your tongue hanging out of your mouth, waiting eagerly for the next command, and it made him suck in a harsh breath.
He knew he couldn’t be trusted with such a sight; knew that it would go on and on in the back of his mind every day for the rest of his life. Knew that he would never find someone who could occupy his mind the way that you could.
He bit down on his bottom lip for a moment, just looking at you before he clicked his fingers and pointed to the spot between his legs; you were there immediately, kneeling down and looking at him expectantly, eagerly. It was enough to have made any other man weak, and it was almost enough to make Bi-Han weak; his breath hitching in his throat as he looked at how fucking hard you were.
“Puppy want a treat?” He asked gruffly, and you nodded eagerly.
“Please, Bi-Han,” you whimpered, flashing the puppy dog eyes in hopes that it would make him a little more lenient with you.
He smiled. “Hump my leg until you cum, like a good boy.”
You nodded eagerly, kneeling against his leg and clinging to it as you began to hump it, feeling the fabric of your trousers rub against your aching cock as you whimpered; your brows knitted as you felt him move his leg just enough to add to it and spur you on.
It felt so good, all the friction and the pressure making you moan softly, quietly, the sound broken and coming out as a cry as you sped up your movements, humping his leg so eagerly that you were losing breath faster than you could catch it, not wanting to stop as you listened to the way he groaned and grumbled at you. Spurred on by the way he whispered that you were good, that you were doing good and being good for him, spurred on by the rare praise.
You were so desperate for him, your cock aching and twitching with every stroke against his leg; you were all but squirming where you were so fucking needy, moving to kiss and suck on his cock as you whimpered and clung to him with such sweet little noises that Bi-Han was almost tempted to be nice to you, almost tempted to give you what you really wanted.
You were determined, he had to give you that, enough that he had to hold you by the throat as he hummed and swiped the drool from your lip with the pad of his thumb. His big bad guard dog suddenly just a needy little pup that had but one thing on his mind.
“How bad do you want me to fuck you?”
You grinned, teeth bared as much as your eyes went wide with excitement. “Please, please, please. Please, please-”
“So needy,” he tutted, shaking his head and pulling you up so he could kiss you, able to taste his precum on your tongue as he slid his cold hands under your shirt, lifting it up and over your head. “Should get you a collar.”
You bucked your hips against him as you nodded. “Please.”
It clicked in the back of his mind, the little joke that Cyrax and Sektor had made whilst you were in Egypt with him, it was still in the drawer; a black and blue leather collar with spikes on it and the word “Shadow” embroidered in his colours with the Lin Kuei symbol next to it, which he knew was too cliche.
They had done it in an effort to make him laugh when he caught wind of how people were calling you his guard dog; he had intended to throw it away, he should have really, but now?
Now, he had a use for it.
“Stay,” he growled, licking your exposed tongue before he went to the other side of the desk and quickly found the collar. “Take everything else off.”
You did as he said, eagerly stripping down to nothing and waiting for him with baited breath until he clipped the collar around your neck and scoffed.
“Do you like it?”
“Bi-Han…” you breathed out. “Shadow?”
“It’s cliche, I know,” he agreed. “I think I prefer “mine” better.”
You hummed in agreement, taking his cock in your hand as you kissed him hard and let him lick your tongue before he took control, holding the collar tightly and using it to direct you to the desk; you bent over it, exposing and presenting your ass to him only to moan loudly when he slipped two fingers into it, feeling you clench tightly around him as you bucked your hips.
He spat onto the digits as he thrust them in and out of you, getting you prepared as quickly as possible as you jerked and rolled your hips with every piston of his fingers, every pound into your ass that hit your prostate and made your cock ache a little more to finally be able to cum; you hung your head, desperately clinging onto what little control of yourself that you had left, and when you felt him tease you with his tip, you couldn’t help the loud and lewd rumble of his name that left the back of your throat and echoed and ricocheted throughout his office.
Locking the door and closing the blinds had been a good idea.
“You ready, pup?” He asked with a gruff, cold, groan that made you shiver and shake as you nodded eagerly, needing and wanting his cock more than anything else.
Enough that you were dumb and drunk off of just the thought of him using you like his own personal fuck toy, the thought of him filling you with his cum making your eyes roll as you thought about how fucking good it would feel, and how you knew that no one else would ever know what it felt like; how you were all his and, although he wouldn’t admit it, he loved you enough that he was yours in return.
He could have died, and he would have found his way back to you if you didn’t follow him first; you probably would have followed him first.
Bi-Han didn’t waste time, bottoming out and rutting into you quickly as he grabbed the collar to keep you steady with one hand, clinging to your hip with the other and making sure that he conjured just enough ice to make it burn and leave a long lasting mark; you were his, no one else’s, and only his and he had meant that.
The thought of you being with another man made him sick, as he knew that you were made for one another; you couldn’t belong to anyone else, you were too competent and smart and too much of a decent warrior. You were too protective and too loyal to a fault, no one else would be able to handle a man like you.
You would always be his, and when he started to fuck you loud enough for the noises to drown everything else out, you knew it; no one else would be able to treat you the way that he could, no one else would be able to make you feel the way that he did.
No other man’s cock could make you so hard just from thinking about it, no other man’s cock could bully your prostate just to make you squirm and beg to be bred so quickly. No one would ever be on Bi-Han’s level, and you knew it; you were his, and you would always be his. If he ever died, you would be seconds after him; protective even after death.
No matter what he did, no matter if he deserved to have you at his side or not, you would always be there for him, you would always be that constant presence in his life, and you both knew it; getting married was just the next logical step, even if maybe it should not have waited so long.
Even if it was probably ideal to have gotten married earlier and done away with the awkwardness sooner. But you did have something special, you both knew that you did; you had something special that others rarely ever had. You had something that would last for all of eternity, and across any timeline; you would always be together, no matter what.
Bi-Han wasn’t himself if he didn’t have his guard dog.
But fuck, you felt so good as you whimpered and begged him to fuck you until he bred you and made sure that you kept his cum stuffed inside your ass; you needed it to fucking bad, needed his cock and his freezing touches and everything that came with them.
You needed him so fucking bad, you needed everything that he was willing to give you as you pushed back against him and loudly moaned his name, letting it stain and paint the air vividly. You were certain that you wouldn’t last so long, certain that the moment you felt him cum you would be doing the exact same; it was all too good and too natural as he rutted into you and claimed you all for himself, for good.
You were completely his, and you would never want to be anything different, you would never want to go back to being just his best friend, just his only friend; you were his in every way that he wanted you, every part of you belonged entirely to him.
He was pounding into you, watching with a breathless smile as you took his cock so eagerly; keenly stretching for him as you moaned and grabbed the opposite edge of the desk, fingers clicking loudly as your head hit it and you closed your eyes.
Too much pleasure, but too greedy and too needy to want to stop as you pathetically whimpered his name, feeling the collar suddenly go slack before he grabbed your hips with both hands so he could get the right angle.
Bullying you and pushing you further and further until you were screaming for him to go harder, deeper, faster. To fuck you and breed you like you meant nothing to him.
He would have loved to have heard those sweet little noises, those pathetic whimpers, over the phone when he was away; he would have loved to have heard those noises and made you get to the point of climax before hanging up just to make you wait for him.
Now he could, and he smiled at the thought of having that control over you; knowing that you would follow every order and every command without question, with the most eager loyalty, so keen to please and to be good for him. He definitely made the right choice when it came to who he was going to marry, and he fucking knew it the moment that you stopped moving when he told you to, letting him fuck you for his own sake, letting him use you.
If it wasn’t for the need boiling in his stomach, Bi-Han would have happily kept fucking you and bringing you to the edge just to make you stop and keep you waiting until dawn, and then pushed it more, until two or three in the morning the next day; just to keep you needy and all riled up for him.
His grip grew a little tighter, enough frost sticking to your sweat soaked skin that it burned and seared his fingerprints into you. You begged to cum, tongue hanging out of your mouth as you sobbed and begged him to cum; Bi-Han shook his head, and smacked your ass hard enough to make you yelp.
“Not until I tell you.”
The authority in his voice, the lowness of it and how he hissed at you, it made your eyes roll back as you felt his cock bully you a little harder; you didn’t want him to stop, wanted him to fuck you until his thrusts left bruises and marks that would last for days.
The sound of your whimpers mixing into a melody with the sound of skin against skin and his grunts and growls as he leaned over, biting into your shoulder as he rutted into you hard enough to make you squirm and beg for him to cum in you; your hand found his hair when you reached back, tugging it to keep him close, to keep him humping into you and bullying you.
You thought about all the times when you could have and should have been fucked like that; when you were at a park together and you were sitting between his legs whilst he was sat on a rock. No one was around, his hands were on your shoulders as he looked around before handing you something to drink. He should have bent you over that rock and fucked you until you were sobbing and begging him to keep going despite being so sensitive that you couldn’t take it even though you wanted, needed, to.
When you had gone to the beach during a heatwave and he had looked at you with something you didn’t understand in his eyes the moment you took your shirt off; he had acted so odd that day, and now you knew. You really wished he had put down a block of that ice he could make with his calloused, thick, fingers and fucked you on it with the sun blazing down on you both; he should have made you suck his dick in an effort to cool down, should have made you gag and drool until you were crying.
Then, of course, there was Spain; he had been given every chance in Spain. He had walked in on you naked, he had caught you being flirted with by a ninja from one of the allies you were visiting for a meeting.
He should have made it clear then and there that you were his; he should have made it clear and fucked you in front of everybody and… fuck, the idea of being fucked in public was not helping to keep your resolve as you whimpered and tried to fuck yourself on his cock. Making him groan and bite down a little harder as he hissed out a long, cold, breath.
“Don’t think about Egypt or Spain,” he growled. “Just think about holding on until I’m finished with you.”
But he was so fucking close, he had to admit; the way you whimpered and how you clenched around him was too much to ignore and he could feel his resolve beginning to melt as his control over himself began to thaw.
His movements were sharp and calculated with one thrust, then dull and sloppy the next, and he could feel his body protesting against carrying on. His thighs kept shaking, his heart kept hammering, and he kept having to expose his teeth and seethe in order to try and keep up; he didn’t want it to end, and you were begging him to keep going, but he couldn’t help it. Suddenly tensing with a moan of your name as his balls tightened and he finally started to cum inside you.
It was a chain reaction as your toes curled, your thighs shaking wildly as your grip on the desk became hard enough that you almost worried about splinters in your fingers; your eyes rolled into the back of your head as you moaned loudly until it became a guttural, groaning growl that soon tapered off into a muffled sob.
It felt so fucking good, cumming with him and feeling him fuck his cum into you, determined to breed you and keep his cum stuffed inside you; your jaw clenched as you humped the desk, brows knitted and drooling heavily. You were sweating and panting, mouth dry and sticky.
But Bi-Han didn’t stop until he had finally gotten enough, and pulled out. He gently ran a cold hand from the back of your neck to your ass, admiring how it looked with his cum leaking from the gaping hole.
A nod of approval, and he swiped a hand through his hair to make sure it was still tidy despite the strenuous activities.
“You should make the move first more often,” he growled out with a sly laugh. “And keep that collar on.”
You nodded, daring to smile at him as you slowly pushed yourself up; he roughly grabbed your arm, and kissed you quickly as you hummed against him. “You mean that?”
Bi-Han nodded once, and you immediately had your answer as you grinned.
“Get dressed, unlock the door, open the blinds, and when I sit down, I expect you on my lap.”
You nodded in eager obedience, but couldn’t resist another quick little kiss to his lips.

[🔞Spicy/Explicit after the cut 🔞]
You squirmed under him and slipped yourself open around his cock, demanding yet pleading out loud by whining the words “give it.”
He let himself into you, cock sinking in deep in your warm pussy.
Kuai Liang would have done this silently.
Bi-Han on the other hand had no fear of discovery, no reason to keep quiet, and no need to hide from the grandmaster. He huffed and panted as if the very breath that rattled in his throat might be his last. He clenched his jaw and hummed into a stifled groan as your cunt locked around his cock. Your own body weight added pressure under your naval where the arm of the chair rolled back and forth beneath you. Bi-Han felt his cock squashed within you whenever the plush arm kneaded your underbelly like a rolling pin with every thrust.
Kuai would have fucked in a circular motion; rolling into your g-spot and lifting off in a repeated cycle. Bi Han's thrusts shot straight up and down, never fully leaving the spot, bulldozing the spot back and forth.
You wanted him deeper. Remembering a move you'd do with Kuai Liang that would have brought him deeper into you in a sensual, probing way, you scooted your feet flat on the floor. Your muscle memory had you on your tiptoes, pushing your ass back to feel yourself around that thicker bit at the base of his cock, the thicker parts that Kuai Liang would have used to peel you apart from inside. But Bi-Han was built different; Thrusting back into him drove him deeper in you than you had imagined, and at a sharper angle. You howled into the arm of the chair at the sensation as his cockhead chiseled into your sensitive spot. You tried to course correct your body, to give you that gentler, sensual, full sensation that you initially sought, but it was too late. You still couldn't feel the thickest part, and Bi-Han held you in place, asking if the ice got to you. He wouldn't let you move. His hand snaked over your hip to explore your wet, dangling clit, and ensure it was free from the grip of the icy cockring. Upon discovering that you had not howled because you were stuck to the ice, but rather because of how good it made you feel when his cockhead scraped hard against that spot, he wanted to keep you howling in pleasure for as long as he could. He jabbed himself against the spot in short hammering thrusts.
It felt heavy, and hot inside you. For him, it felt like your cunt kneaded around his cock with the pressure of the arm of the chair, kneading back and forth under your naval as he rocked you back and forth against the arm of the chair. You knew Kuai could go deeper; Bi Han was likely no different, except that he had warned against it and was holding you exactly where he wanted you. But you wanted to feel the thicker part of the base of his cock pry and peel your lips apart around it until his cockhead touched the very bottom.
You picked your feet up off the floor to kick them out behind his ankles, only to hook the tops of your feet around his calves to push your bodies together when you locked your shaking knees. You arched back and kicked his calves toward you to pull and take him deeper, but broke as you felt the icy ring connect against your outer folds. The sudden touch of ice to your clit sent a shocking chill straight up your torso and into your tits. You begged him not to stop.
“You think I would dare stop, now that I found this little spot? Is this your favorite little spot? You look pretty when I fuck this one little spot.”
“Oh god,” was all you could say, screaming out as if you'd fallen from a great height.
You and Kuai never raised your voices above a whisper while you two snuck out, let alone talked like that, or huffed like that, or groaned or hummed or muttered how tight and good and hot you felt on him. When Bi Han breathes against your spine, you feel more than hear every sigh rattle in his throat.
You liked screaming out into the arm of the chair while your hard nipples dragged against the soaked, plush chair upholstery. You liked not having to be quiet any more.
You grew bold, reached behind your head to grab his hair and pull him up to breathe against your neck. He took the hint and mouthed at the pulse point of your soft neck.
The icy ring started to stick to your skin. Every thrust was ripping the sticky ring of ice from your chapped pussy lips like velcro. It grew uncomfortable, like repeatedly ripping a bandaid off, but with waves of pleasure killing your pain, you refused to acknowledge it until your clit hung against it and began to pull away with the motion of his balls.
There were tears in your eyes as you swatted the upholstery with the flat of your hand and tapped out, unwilling to go on while your little clit was trapped.
“Hm. We got stuck, yes? I warned you what could happen if you took it too deep,” he crooned.
“It's hurting it, ah, it stings when you pull back,” you tried to explain.
He knew. He could feel it. He held still, cock throbbing deep inside you as you shivered around it, pressing his balls against you to relieve your clit from the pull of the ice. While it no longer stung from the band-aid rip sensation, the icy feel started to send a pins and needles sensation into you. He reached for the tea tray.
“Hold still,” he growled.
One commanding word in his deep gravelly voice was enough to make you hiccup and freeze. You heard him pour the steaming hot water onto a tea towel, and felt him reach his hand between you with the scalding cloth. It stung and burned only for a little bit, and then you felt your skin free itself from the ice.
He wasted no time in flipping you onto your back in the chair. As you looked up at him, you noticed his neck and chest blushed a deep red; evidence of how fuckdrunk and overstimulated he had grown. He spread your legs around him and inspected the stiffened pink semi-circle of chapped, chilled pubic flesh. Frost clung to the glistening wet pubic hair around his cock, and likewise a ring of frost had formed across your mound just along either side of your twitchy, chilled clit. He pressed the hot towel against it, and rivulets of scalding water poured down your body as you gurgled incoherently.
The heat reminded you of Kuai as your eyes rolled and you bucked up into the pressure of his palm against the hot drenched towel. He slipped his heavy cock back into you, holding it at the base so you couldn't take him too deep. You gawked at the sight between your legs. Steam rolled up and danced along the grandmaster’s undulating obliques. The rhythmic crushing of his lower abs sent the steam from the hot towel outward in puffs as he thrust into you. His chest grew pinker with each thrust and you had a sudden urge to reach out for him. As you grabbed his chest with both hands, the sensation of hot water trickling down your crevice coupled with the sight and feel of him pounding into it moved you to cum screaming on his cock.
You kneaded his chest muscles in your hands and it caused him to choke and sputter. He started to turn his face away, but you caught it and brought yourself back into view.
“Don't fight it, I want to see you cum now, wanna see your face when you cum,” you said.
“Fuck,” he spat through gritted teeth, “okay.”
He took his fist from between your legs and let himself sink all the way into you. The hot cloth smushed between you against his frozen base, slowly melting him as the cloth itself cooled. With that hand he took a handful of you breast and sucked the flavor from your nipple. He seemed to enjoy the taste; your hard nipple was still clammy from dragging through the wetness of the damp spot you left on the plush seat cushion. You pushed him back by the shoulders, pushing him upright so you could watch his face as you ordered him to cum soon.
His thumb found your clit through the thick towel fabric and rubbed through it. The sandpaper texture wasn't as pleasant after cumming so hard, and he could tell by the wince on your face. But it was the wince in your cunt that excited him. With the ice melted, he tossed the wet towel to the side with a splat, reached between your legs, where he started tapping your clit, hard and fast. You squirmed away only to discover you were stuck helpless between the arms of the chair. You couldn't run from it. The loud wet pitter-patter of rapid slaps sounded raunchy and obscene, and a timid part of you kept freaking out that someone would hear it, and catch you, and snitch on you, and force you to face the grandmaster. But the grandmaster’s cock was in you, dragging against your sensitive flesh and devastating the back of your pussy as he bottomed out inside you. It felt intense, so wonderful that it was terrible, and your desperate choking howls expressed as much. His rapid tapping was forcing you to clench and quiver and throb and squeeze around his overworked cock. With the ice ring melted, nothing could stop him from cumming.
Warnings: angst, major ridiculous levels of angst. Bi-Han being emotionally stunted. She/her pronouns, no use of y/n
A/N: for the wonderful @importantprincesscat! who requested: "If you don't mind, and I mean if cause I live for the slight angst, would you mind writing something for Bihan or Tomas where the reader seems to have feelings for someone else maybe she seems closer to Kuai or acts like she likes him." I saw the word angst and went for it. I don't often get to write it but I always love it when I can. AO3 link here.
Bi-Han hated seeing her.
Her face was as beautiful as the sunrise. Artists would have to spend years trying to paint the perfect slant of her nose, the fullness of her lips, and it would never do her justice. When she laughed, it rang in his ears for hours. Then she would turn that stunning smile on him and it felt like his chest was caving in. He craved seeing any glimpse of her. Even hearing her soft whisper of a voice made his heart flutter. She was something not of this world. Something so warm and light. She was like a drug he never realized he had grown addicted to.
But it was not Bi-Han who had caught her eye. All that kind warmth and tinkling laughter was for Kuai Liang. He was the only one she seemingly deemed worthy enough for the full force of her smile. Every time he saw her smile, it felt like a mistake. Her face would fall, morphing into something polite and cold. She didn’t speak to him in the way she did Kuai Liang, like she had been friends with him for years. She spoke to Bi-Han like a diplomat instead of the farmer she was. So he let Kuai Liang take stock of the food she provided. Bi-Han was Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei, he didn’t need to speak to a lowly farmer like her. But he had found himself in a self fulfilling prophecy. The more he avoided her, the more he drew away, the more she distanced herself from him. He knew didn’t have the right to be angry with her or be resentful of Kuai Liang.
It was late when she finally arrived with this week's round of vegetables, nearing dusk. She was exhausted after her long day. The village below has requested more than she had expected and held her up. Thankfully that meant she was going home with an empty cart which would leave her tired horse happy. She gave small waves and hellos as Lin Kuei members swarmed her. They all immediately started unloading the cart, stacking the boxes neatly on the cobblestone ground. Her nose was buried in her receipt as she ticked off what she delivered. “Where’s Kuai Liang? I have to give this to him.” A few ninjas nudged each other and laughed, rumors of her and the yellow ninja being in love had been floating around for months, before one informed her that he and his adopted brother were away on a mission. “Oh,” she mumbled. Bi-Han watched her face fall from the doorway of the Grandmaster’s office. She spared him one glance. It was enough to make his skin burn. Then she took a few tentative steps forward. Bi-Hand turned his back on her and moved deeper into the office.
His well trained ears picked up the soft creak of her feet on the floorboards outside. Then her smell hit him, like ripe fruits and dirt. He wanted to encase himself in that smell, to find all the areas it varies, to find if her skin tasted like the fruits she provided. Instead, his spine like a steel rod, he looked at paperwork. He didn’t acknowledge her until she cleared her throat in front of him. Even then it was a raised eyebrow over papers in front of him. “My apologies I’m later than normal,” there was that well mannered voice Bi-Han hated. “The market was especially busy today. Here is the invoice,” she laid the paperwork on his desk.
“Thank you,” Bi-Han said. His voice was a bit huskier than normal. A silence fell and she didn’t leave his office.
“I’m sorry to bother you Grandmaster, but can you please sign it? I need it for records. Kuai Liang usually has a stamp.” Hearing his brother’s name from her perfect mouth made his eye twitch. She said it was such warmth that was at complete odds with her overly controlled tone.
“Apologies,” Bi-Han said, finding his seal and leaving its black imprint on the bottom corner. “Here,” he wanted to say her name, but it would make him feel vulnerable. That was the whole point of this closed off charade wasn’t it? Bi-Han didn’t want to feel the sting of rejection so he let the bitter taste of loneliness replace it. He let the anger at his brother for charming her replace his actual feelings.
Bi-Han was in love with her. But he refused to allow himself to feel it.
She took the paper from him, her delicate fingers brushing his hand. Her hand jerked at the feeling of his cool digits. He went back to his papers. His hand burned where her touch had lingered.
She didn’t leave.
The clock on Bi-Han’s desk ticked loudly in the silence.
“Have I ever done something to upset you?” He was taken aback by her quiet voice. He stalled in his reading. There was a decision before the Grandmaster. He could either rebuff her, fully sever this string between them. Or he could open himself just a bit, thaw the ice around him just enough for her to peak inside. These two options settled like stones in his stomach.
Bi-Han’s silence was cold. She squirmed under it. “Nevermind,” she whispered. “Have a good night Grandmaster. Please enjoy the food.” She was leaving. Bi-Han was running out of time. He did the one thing he could think of to stall her, he said her name. Her hand paused in it’s raise to open the door. She turned her head but her back remained stubbornly toward him.
“What does he have that I don’t?” Bi-Han felt foolish the moment the words left him. It was too raw. It exposed his insecurities for her to see. Finally she faced him and all his careful control almost left him. He wanted to drop to his knees, to beg her to look at him like she does Kuai Liang, to lose this neutral expression.
“He treats me like a person Grandmaster.” That well mannered tone had cracked. He knew she was angry.
“Don’t call me that, call me Bi-Han.” Just this once, please.
“No. I am giving you the separation you so desperately need.” Bi-Han stood and took careful steps toward her. Her posture was straight, chin raised in defiance. There was fire in her eyes that he would have detested in any subordinate. But from her, he welcomed the hostility. Anything was better than her polite mask. He kept an arms length between their bodies. Now he could see the splatter of freckles across her face, the laugh lines around her perfect mouth. The corner of her nostrils were a faint pink from the cold weather.
“What if I don’t want that space anymore?” His voice was low, pleading.
“You don’t get to ask that of me after ignoring me for months,” she hissed. Bi-Han swallowed.
“I know. You have every right to be angry with me. But please, hate me at a closer distance.” She narrowed her eyes and Bi-Han’s heart turned to ice. Then she looked down and let out a sigh. He wanted to reach out and touch her but he couldn’t bring himself to. Time seemed to slow as he waited for her to do, to say anything. Her gaze settled on him again. It was that tender expression he so desperately craved. His breath caught in his throat.
“I will see you next time I deliver. Have a good night Bi-Han.” With that, she turned and closed the door on a love struck Grandmaster.
