Zheng Li continued to lead Mai down a hard mud road towards there new home."There it is right there" Zheng Li shouted out as he pointed a small manor house to Mai.
Mai looked at the horizon and noticed a small block in the distance unsure if that was what Zheng Li was pointing to. Mai figured that there was about a 30 minute trek to the house from there current speed.
Mai watched as Zheng Li face lit up as he looked at the small piece of land that was there own.
They arrived at the border of the property and Mai could help but gasp out in surprise. The house itself was smaller than she had expected but gave off a warm feel. There was a small garden that took up residence against the west side of the house. Whereas the east had small statues strong about, as if they currently did not have a place of there own.
Mai tried to record every detail to memory as this would hopefully be her home for the next long bit of her life. She was so grateful to get away from everything in the city that she could help but weep a little.
"Lets surprise him" Zheng Li let out jokingly as he covered her face till you couldn"t recognize a single detail about who laid beneath it.
Mai was surprised yet again by Zheng Li"s change in temperament. "Was this still the same man that slightly hated me a few days ago. Maybe the stress of being in that manor made him into a d.i.c.k?" Mai thought to herself.
As they almost reached the threshold of there new home a small pig let out a oink as it ran towards Mai. "Mulan" Mai cried out in surprised "is that you?"
Mulan rubbed itself all over Mai as if she was asking what took so long. Mai let out a small laugh as she picked up Mulan and gave her a few twirls around. "I missed you" she whispered into the pigs ears.
As much as Mai wanted to play with Mulan she knew that her body could barely hold out another moment before she would start to jump on Zheng Li for help. Mai was almost used to the burning sensation as things touched her skin now but not the deep throbbing need that ran between her legs.
"Zheng Li.. what took you so long?" A familiar gruffly voice sounded not to far away.
"Coming, young master" Zheng Li called out in response.
Zheng Li pushed on Mai"s back to beckon her to continue in the house in his place. "He"s right inside the door. Ill give you guys all night to reconnect" Zheng Li said with a light chuckle.
Mai was practically pushed inside the door with very little warning. She would have liked the opportunity to clean herself up first.
"Zheng Li, did trouble happen in the small town?" Han Bing asked in concern but didn"t look up from what he was doing.
Han Bing was staring intently at the canvas in front of him. Each movement of his hand brought the figure on the paper to life. Mai watch in amazement as the figure started to resemble her in remarkable detail.
Mai looked around and saw all the crumpled papers around Han Bing, each one held a similar figure in different positions or background. Some had a fantasy setting while others looked like memories from there time together.
Han Bing finally glanced up at the silent figure that was behind him wondering what was keeping Zheng Li so silent. Han Bing dropped his pencil as he saw a small cloaked figure behind him. Cursing under his breath Han Bing asked "who are you?" There was a mountain of hatred behind his gaze. If one could kill with their gaze Mai was certain that she would have been obliterated at the point.
"Han … Bing" Mai let out a small whisper. She wasnt particularly afraid of him as she knew him much better than that. However, with the heightened aphrodisiac in her bloodstream she didn"t have any choice. She could barely fight off its effects with men that she did not want to touch her never mind one that she desperately wanted to.
Han Bing face changed in a mult.i.tude of emotions before resting on confusion. He got up slowly, looking around the room expecting some sort of trap. He gently tugged the cloaks hood off of her face and stared at her in shock.
"Mai?" Han Bing asked so quietly that it was barely audible. Han Bing seemed afraid that if he did anything unexpected the woman in front of him would disappear forever again.
Mai let out a smile as she finally saw the Han Bing that she remember. She wrapped both her arms around his body while leaning in close for a kiss.
___
Han Bing shuddered under the torment of emotions that he was feeling. Mai wasn"t a figment of his imagination that he had made up because he missed her. She was right in front of him in the flesh, he could touch any part of her. Her lips on his was the greatest feeling that he could remember having in the past 2 weeks.
Han Bing had multiple questions about how she possible found her way here, and what had happened. The words caught in his throat as he remembered the last time that he had spoken to her. How aggressive and uncaring it sounded, later he cringed at his own anger over his own shortcomings and protectiveness that had drove him to cast her out that day. Yet, there she stood in front of him softly calling out his name as if none of that mattered. Han Bing realized that he was getting a second chance with her, one that he never thought he would deserve, never mind get.
Mai moaned without restraint as he rubbed his hands up and down her body.
"Mai, my dear, let"s get you in a bath" Han Bing said after he realized that she had traveled far to reach this destination by foot.
"If you promise to wash every part of me" Mai whispered into his ear, face red with desire.
