The Empress Dowager's Pulse Raced for the Palace Physician novel · Chapter 24 of 24
Chapter 24: Steady
There were two lamps in Qinglan's new room in Ningshou Palace, and she had lit neither.
The moon came through the lattice and laid white squares across the bed, the floor, the long body of the woman on the bed.
Murong Yue lay on her back on the pillows with her hair loose around her.
She was naked, and she was smiling, and she had been smiling for an hour.
"Come here," she said.
"No."
"No?"
"You said you'd ask. I'm going to make you ask me for each thing."
Qinglan stood at the foot of the bed in her shirt and nothing else, with her arms folded.
Yue considered this.
"Please come here, Doctor."
"Better."
She climbed onto the bed and over the long legs and settled astride Yue's hips.
Their eyes met in the moonlight.
Qinglan bent down and kissed her, and tasted tea and honey.
It was slow, and soft, and deep, a kiss with no hurry in it.
Yue's hands slid under the hem of her shirt and spread flat on her back, warm.
"Please take this off," Yue said against her mouth.
"Please."
Qinglan sat up and pulled it over her head, and the Dowager's hands came up to her breasts at once, reverent.
They were small and round, brown at the tips, and Yue cupped them as if they were something that might spill.
She rolled the nipples between her fingers.
Qinglan sighed and let her head fall back.
"Please let me taste," said Yue.
"Please."
She pulled herself up on the pillows and took a nipple in her mouth, and sucked gently, circling with her tongue.
Pleasure ran down Qinglan's spine in a slow warm line.
She held Yue's head against her chest, fingers in the black hair, and rocked a little on the Dowager's belly.
She was already wet, and she left a damp track on the pale skin.
Yue moved to the other breast.
"You are so soft here," she murmured. "I did not know women were so soft."
"You're not so hard yourself."
"I am hard in the Hall."
"In the Hall you're a statue. Here you're a puddle."
Yue laughed into her skin.
She slid her hands down, over the ribs, to the waist, to the hips, and cupped the round of Qinglan's ass, and squeezed.
"Please lie down," she said. "Please. I want to feel you along me."
Qinglan stretched out on top of her, belly to belly, thigh between thigh.
The softness of the Dowager's body was extraordinary: the heavy breasts crushed against hers, the wide hips cradling her, the long legs wrapped around hers.
Their skin stuck together with sweat.
She slid one thigh high between Yue's legs and felt the damp heat pressing against it, and Yue pressed back.
Yue lifted her knee and Qinglan sank into the space it made, and their breasts slid together, and their hipbones met.
They moved together slowly.
Neither said anything for a long time.
