Chapter 6: Paper Walls

The paper wall glowed on the other side.

Qinghe could see the shadow of a lamp, and the shadow of a man pacing in front of it.

Back and forth, pacing the narrow space.

"He's awake," Jinye said under his breath.

"I know."

"We could go to the Abyss tonight. I'd carry you there in a breath."

"No."

She turned from the wall and looked up at him in the dim room.

The fever was strong tonight, the last night of it, a hot weight under her ribs and between her thighs.

She did not want to leave.

She wanted him to know that the man pacing next door could hear every single thing she let him hear.

"Take your robe off," she said.

His eyes went to the wall.

"Qinghe."

"Quietly."

He untied his gold-collared robe and let it fall.

She walked a slow circle around him, trailing her fingertips across his shoulders, and felt the muscles jump under them.

"Hands on the wall," she said.

"Which wall?"

"That one."

It was the thin paper wall between this room and the Prince's.

He put both palms flat against the paper, high up, with his head bowed.

The frame creaked.

On the other side, the pacing stopped.

Jinye went rigid.

"Don't move," Qinghe whispered. "Don't make a sound. If you make a sound, I stop."

He drew a shaky breath through his nose.

She stepped up behind him and pressed her whole body along his back, her robe still on, her cheek against his shoulder blade.

She slid her hands around his waist and down.

He was already hard.

She wrapped one hand around his cock and squeezed, and felt him shudder from his scalp to his heels.

Next door the pacing began again, slower.

"Good," she whispered against his skin. "You can be quiet for me."

She stroked him slowly, base to tip, her thumb sliding over the wet head.

She felt the groan stuck in his chest and the shudder when he swallowed it.

His forehead dropped against the paper.

"Please," he mouthed, without a sound.

"Please what?"

He shook his head, helpless.

She laughed softly into his back.

"You want to be inside me."

He nodded hard.

"Then ask me properly. With your mouth shut."

He could not.

So he turned his head and looked at her over his shoulder, amber eyes black with want.

He moved his lips around the shape of the word.

Please.

Her whole body clenched.

"Turn around," she said. "Lean on the wall. I'm going to take you like this."

"Qinghe," he breathed, soundless.

"Do it."

She hiked her robe to her waist.

She pushed him back against the wall, facing her, and wrapped one leg around his hip.

She was soaked.

She could feel it running down the inside of her thigh as she reached down, took his cock.

Guided the head to her entrance.

Then she sank onto him in one slow stroke.

They both gasped, and the sound was too loud.

On the other side of the paper, a step scraped.

They froze.

Qinghe clapped her hand over her own mouth, her eyes wide and wicked over her fingers.

The footsteps came toward the wall and stopped.

A shadow fell across the paper, tall, crowned, a hand's width from Jinye's shoulder.
