Chapter 7: Becoming One

Ka-Rin managed to free herself from the lustful spell that had ensnared her as she admired X. She was in the washroom heating the water up for a bath. It did not take too long for the kindle to coal.  The fire began to coal as the water began to reach the optimal temperature she desired; she slowly began to prepare for the bath she longed for. She had been on horse back for five days before arriving to the town called Miltus.

It was here that she herd of man; with grey eyes that had slayed Lord Henderson’s son Samuel. She took the long way around to the inn, making sure not to cross paths with X. She feared that if she ran into him in the middle of the night that he would be confrontational. While waiting she had her mother set up the room furthest away for the entrance, one with out windows. Due to the room being the furthest away, it would be secluded and have a bathroom next to it. Since this area is not commonly used, there would not be an infringement on their privacy.

X woke up out of no where. He stood straight up and looked around the room. Was I dreaming? Where is the lady that swore to be my mistress? He slowly rubbed his face and felt something cool rub across his cheek. He looked at his hand, and there he saw the purple jade rings wrapped tightly. He touched it and smiled.

Wait! Ka-Rin said that my parents gave them back once they knew I was in the womb! There is more of my family I am yet to meet! X was very analytical, and followed things logically. He had met her mom already but who else was there? After all it was a two families becoming one. There also had to be other people fro the Han clan. It makes a difference if I were the only descendant versus being the last direct descendant. His mind slowly put everything together. Yes, we shall rest as the true journey is going to start.

After reflecting on the last two days X decided he was over due for a bath. He had not bathed in a couple of days. Damn! Mother-In-law did not mention where it was. As X slowly put on his attire, he headed for the door. I do believe it was a left and a right then all the way down. His mind trailed as he slowly circumnavigated the inn back to Alyisha. She sat there in the same position that she was in when he had first entered the inn. “

Miss Aly… Mother-In-Law, where is the bath?” He did not know how to address her. He stood torn between at the possibilities. However if it was his parents wishes he would simply honor them. Mother-In-Law it is. She smiled sweetly, as if it were sweetest sounds she ever herd. “Go back the way you came, next to your room there is a single door. It is a private bath. No one else is there on that side so you do not have to worry about intruding on anyone privacy.” She winked as she said this. “Thank you Mother-In-Law” X said as he bowed.

As he turned around and took a step forward she called to him. “X, remember what I have told you, when we first met. Do not take that lightly.” Alyisha gave him a very solemn look. “Yes Mother-In-Law I have not forgotten.” As X spoke to her, he had put hand over his heart in a very sincere way. Alyisha’s eyes grew water as she saw the purple jade ring on his finger. “I must make two requests of you X.” She managed to change her expression in a blink of an eye to an evil smirk.

She laughed as she said, “I always fancied the name Soo-Yaun. Promise me if Ka-Rin births a little girl, pass that name onto her.” There was a twinkle in her as she finished saying it. “The world has not been kind to us, especially to Ka-Rin. Please take care of her. She is my only child and I can not bare the thought of her death coming before mine. Her father is no longer around but that was not of his own choice.” Alyisha voice trailed off. There was pause, and in that pause nothing but sorrow could be felt. She slowly continued, “I have nothing left but my beautiful child Ka-Rin. She is of age and no longer needs me. She has been gifted to you, as you to her. Do not take this matter lightly and stay honoring your parents as the have raised you too!”

X could only say what he had felt in his heart. “Mother-In-Law, I will respect your wishes and honor both my parents and you and your late husband. I have never taken any promise in vain nor did I ever agree to one that I could not fulfill. I, X of the Han clan, hereby swear to you, on my honor that I will uphold all your requests!” Alyisha could only rush to hug him tightly. She closed her eyes and sighed in relief hearing those very words.

There was a weight that had been lifted off her shoulders and she could not reframe from gently kissing X on the forehead as she let him go. Alyisha had grinned very mischievously before she pushed him towards the direction of the bath and exclaimed, “Hurry up before you miss it!” X was baffled by how quickly his Mother-In-Law could change her emotions. He smiled to himself as he quickly went towards the direction of his room.

A few moments later he was standing in front of the door to the bathroom. He was excited to take a bath. With no thoughts in mind he happily strode in. The air was steamy, with a hint of fresh smoke. He paid no attention to details as he closed the door quietly. X took a breath and thought that his Mother-In-Law had prepared the bath for him. He began anxiously stripping off his clothes for he knew the water would not stay hot forever.

As he got closer to the bathtub he gasped. There before him stood his mistress! She was in the process of getting out, as she had not yet dried herself. X was almost lost his footing as he instinctively took a step forward. His jaw dropped, and was not far from the floor. As for what he had seen earlier was nothing in comparison to the picture before him.

Her jet black hair was long as it seemed to yearn to caress the small of her back. Her smooth porcelain skin was free of imperfections. It was as if a god made her in their image. He could see how well she had maintained herself as she was entirely toned. There seemed to be a bit of envy between the water droplets that raced down her. All the droplets seemed to have stopped and feel her hips with hopes of being able to continue their lineage. Then suddenly continued slide down to the floor; as if being rejected caused gravity to increase. Splash! The water droplets hit the ground but managed to stay in close range of her beauty. She was what some men dreamed of and what made others die for!

She felt a look that she had not felt in a long time. However the more she paid attention to it, the more unique it became. It had the chemistry of human climax, with a base of admiration, a touch of lust, and two handfuls of love. She had only gotten a glimpse of this feeling earlier and truth be told, she loved it. Slowly she turned around, for she knew who had been in awe; only his gaze could call upon this feeling deep within her.

She smiled promiscuously and whispered, “Master Han, come while the water is hot.” X was in a trance, as he stepped forward and only nodded. Ka-Rin gazed upon him as if he was her prey. She could not help but to give a gentle stir to water, making sure he could see her in her entirety. X swallowed his saliva as he was in grasp of her, she took his hand and brushed it past her bosom as led him into the water.

X followed her hand and was finally in the tub. She walked behind him and whispered alluringly in his ear, “Dose Master Han wished to be washed?” X could only left out a deep breath and nod. He did not know why he could not respond! It was as if she was a puppet master and he was the puppet. She slowly took the tie from his hair and let it down. His hair was so thick that it did not float in the water but sank. She began to rinse his hair. She gently ran her porcelain fingers though it and massaged his head. Slowly she washed it. X’s hair was extremely thick she could not help but to pull it in a seductive way. As she finished rinsing it she gave a final tug and X let out a soft moan.

It was so soft that the sound of the water dripping from his head almost muffled it. He immediately felt all the blood rush to his head. He did not have to see his reflection to know that he was beyond blushing. She lathered a rag and began washing him. He was in his entirety, this time there was nothing between them. What was in her imagination paled in compared to what was before her now.

She took a deep breath as she bit her lip, she could not help but trace his glistening body with the washcloth. She used to most feminine touch she could muster as she covered every inch his body. After she was done washing him, she pushed up against him and whispered teasingly, “My husband I need to wash the rest of you”. Ka-Rin felt as if her heart was going to explode as the sentence escaped from her mouth.

He obediently listened and stood up. He had not had time to recover from the embarrassment so his cheeks still showed signs of him blushing. X did his best not to look at her for he did not to show that he was still recovering. Ka-Rin did not miss this opportunity to tease him. “My, my. What is wrong Master Han? Do I not satisfy your taste?” Her voice was beyond captivating.

Finally X mustered what was left of his pride and said, “Mistress Han, you have surpassed the limits of beauty that are allowed to be described with words. I only fear that I will not be able to praise you, and will fall short. My wish is to only keep a smile on your face and nothing less. For I want to embrace you deeply, to express my love for you. I’m aware that if I were entwine myself around you in this moment, there would not be no turning back. So I kept mindful of my gaze but I am awaiting for you in a mutual way. ”

He made sure not to break eye contact because he knew she was teasing him. Immediately after hearing these words her knee’s slightly gave. Extreme silence was in abundance. Only the drumming of the two hearts were herd. She could no longer take it. Ka-Rin took two towels and used one for herself and gave the other to X. She took him by the hand and led him to their room.

Once in the room she motioned X to get on the bed. She quietly locked the door. As she approached him, she dropped her towel and blushed. She quietly said, “I am still pure.” She continued inching her way to him. She whispered, “Never have I been weak against the pleasures of the flesh nor have I known them. I only wish that we are able to become one, as husband and wife were meant to be. Please my dear husband let us embrace and get to know each other.”
