The Black Saint is My StalkerCh128 - Let me spoil you today

Edited by dreamandwonder

When Graham woke, it was already midday. 9TPc0L

His head pounded and his body hurt. With divine power flowing through his veins, small wounds should heal in no time, but it did not save him from the aching soreness that throbbed after his muscles had been abused. And oh, he had most certainly abused them.

The evidence of violence was abundant, the room wrecked with furniture displaced and dents present in the wall. What had been a pristine and high-class lake house had received quite a bit of damage from one extremely wild night.

There was much to be done.

But Graham had no intentions of rushing his chores. They would get done in due time. Additionally, the lake house was the least of his worries. HCoE64

The weight against his arm made the limb go numb, but he dared not move to disturb the person curled up against him.

Han Li was snuggled up to his chest, his head using Graham’s arms as a pillow. In rest, Graham found him to be even more beautiful, with fanning lashes that swept over his creamy cheeks. The bruising on his neck had already faded. His injuries healed even faster than Graham’s.

His hair had grown, loose strands fell over his face and Graham reached over to tuck them behind his ear.

Those long lashes fluttered. With a groggy groan, Han Li slowly peeled his eyes open. There were still hints of reddish glow within his dark pupils and Graham thought they akin to some rare, mystical gems; like black opals with ruby hints.

“Sorry. Did I wake you?” Graham’s voice was barely above a whisper.

Han Li grumbled tiredly, only nudging his way closer and rubbing his face against Graham’s chest like a pleased cat. “Sleep however long you like, my heart.” Graham pressed a kiss to his brow. A small rumbling noise came from Han Li and Graham thought he was truly rather cat-like.

With a small chuckle, Graham shifted their bodies a little, giving his numb arm a little reprieve. He threw his other arm over Han Li’s waist, drawing him close. Their legs tangled, warmth shared.

Absent thoughts flitted through his mind as he drew light lines across Han Li’s back. He shouldn’t idle for too long. It was already the hour for lunch and Graham wasn’t even sure if the kitchen was still in a usable state.

However, Graham found it exceptionally difficult to rise. Han Li wasn’t always so receptive to being held, often slipping out of Graham’s hold before the crack of dawn and claiming some absurdity about half-demons not needing much sleep. j4wgX7

So Graham gave himself a few extra minutes of sweet bliss. One minute longer. One second longer. Until he couldn’t justify the pit forming in his stomach anymore. If he was hungry then Han Li must be too.

Drawing in a breath, Graham snaked his arm away from Han Li’s head and replaced it with a soft pillow. He tried to shuffle out of bed without notice, but Han Li grumbled loudly, grabbing onto his arm when he tried to pull away. His brows furrowed cutely, lips pursed in a deep frown despite his eyes still remaining decidedly closed.

“…!” Graham was stunned for a moment, unused to Han Li being the one clinging to him. How adorable. Han Li was rarely so affectionate. The Saint of Eternity wet his lips. He leaned in and kissed Han Li’s forehead. “You’re being so cute today, how could I ever hope to get anything done at this rate?”

“…” Han Li did not respond, acting as though asleep. But he still maintained a vice grip around Graham’s wrist, refusing to let go. u3e9LH

“I won’t leave you,” Graham hummed. “The entire day shall be ours and ours alone. But, my heart, I need you to let me go so I can cook us some food. Will you not let me go?”

A grumbling unintelligible complaint rumbled out of Han Li’s chest. But he did let go of Graham’s wrist before pulling the bedsheets over his head and curling up into a tight ball.

The Saint of Eternity couldn’t help but laugh at these cute antics. “I promise I won’t be long. Do not forget, there is water at the bedside and some snacks if you’re feeling unwell. But try not to eat too much, I will make proper food.”

Graham received another weird grumble as a reply. UDPdSh

“Alright. I will be right back.” Graham kissed the silly little bundle of bedsheets. He could see Han Li’s left foot poking out from underneath and the devilish side of him longed to tickle it. But Graham only pulled the sheets to tuck in the exposed part of his body. “Sleep a bit longer.”

And with that, he left.

Han Li, still groggy, was slowly coming to. Mortification rousing as realization dawned with how stupidly he clung onto Graham’s wrist. His heart somersaulted in his chest, rapping wildly while his mind swam with all sorts of weird emotions.

Over the years, they have slept with each other countless times. Han Li’s only solace for not having Graham’s heart, for these frequent entanglements, was the fact that he could still control the distance between them to a degree. SNV2bX

So long as he didn’t remain clinging to Graham’s side, so long as he was the first to rise in the morning, so long as he didn’t allow Graham to dote on him too much, he could protect his heart.

But today was a little different.

One of the terms that Han Li had to agree to for Graham’s participation in last night’s fantasy was that he would allow Graham to take care of him the following day.

“…” Was he seriously that desperate for deranged sex that Han Li didn’t even think the consequences through? bDdjFz

How was he going to handle a full day of Graham playing husband? This was stupid. And definitely not one of the best decisions that Han Li made in his life. Four years later and Han Li was still on a roll with one bad decision after another.

He sighed, feeling tired and defeated. Han Li pulled the covers closer and took in a deep breath. Graham’s scent enveloped him like a protective cocoon. He already missed having Graham’s arms around him, but the gnaw of forlorn longing was something he had grown used to.

He planned to get up, get dressed, and play it off like everything was fine and normal. He would then remind Graham that he was no ordinary human and did not need any coddling. But Han Li was oddly fatigued and the pleasant soreness in his body only made him relax further. Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep once more.

When he woke, there was something cool being slathered over his skin. A tingling sensation spread over a particularly sore spot on his thigh and he instinctively leaned into the touch. zqI5H0

With a tired groan, he forced his eyes to open. Graham sat over him with a calm expression. The curtains had been pulled apart, allowing sunlight to spill inside the room.

Han Li barely noticed how their mess from the prior night had already disappeared. A fresh, herbal oil replaced the waft of sex. The furniture had all been returned to their rightful places and even the sheets he surrounded himself with were different, clean new ones. How the heck did Graham manage that?

He was about to ask, but all coherent thoughts fled his mind when his eyes met Graham’s.

The Saint of Eternity was wearing a loose shirt, though it was still a bit tight around his chest. He wore sweatpants to match and looked sinfully domestic. Sunlight outlined his high nose bridge and dark half-lidded eyes. Han Li always thought it unfair how long and thick Graham’s lashes were. Those dark eyes beheld unspoken emotion and a softness that was much too difficult for Han Li to truly comprehend. He couldn’t even look away even if he wanted to. LPBJhf

“I hope you slept well, Han Li. How are you feeling?” Graham’s voice was like music to the ears, smooth as butter.

Privately, Han Li cursed this Saint of Eternity, despising how even after the years, he still hadn’t lost his charm. Was Han Li just cursed to be ensnared by him?

He massaged the healing balm into Han Li’s skin, gloveless fingers massaging into his bruises, causing him to shiver. Occasionally, he felt the cold graze of  Graham’s ring against his skin. Flinching, he pulled back.

“You don’t have to. I don’t even think that shit works on me,” Han Li said, trying to keep his voice even. XhCNpR

“Maybe not,” Graham conceded. “But you did agree to let me spoil you today. Won’t you let me? It’s your birthday after all. Happy birthday, Han Li.”

When Graham smiled, truly, honestly, sincerely smiled, it painted a sight that stole Han Li’s breath away.

Suddenly, he was a stupid, flustered nineteen-year-old all over again. Blushing furiously, he looked aside. Han Li only had the will to utter a small, “T-thanks…”

Without much resistance, he allowed Graham to spread the healing balm over the rest of his injuries. The gentle but firm touches left him feeling boneless and a lingering thrum of warmth traveled down all the way to his heart. i4QtV3

Over the years, Han Li found that time mended many things.

But there were some things that not even time seemed to mend.

Because his infatuation with one Saint of Eternity would not subside, in fact, it had only grown stronger.
