Xiaolin didn't reply to her master's remark and remained in his embrace, gasping for breath. She couldn't meet his gaze, not after that.
This was completely new to her and completely embarrassing, even when they were alone. Even when she was squeezing close to his chest.
"Linlin?"
"Um," Xiaolin replied meekly.
"If you don't want to do it, should I continue?" Gale whispered into her ears again.
Xiaolin clutched closer to his embrace, to hear his heartbeat and her own. Her heart was definitely beating faster as she kept herself stuck to his chest for a time.
When she finally had the nerve to meet his gaze again, she found herself sitting on his lap as he caressed her back softly, not even a little impatient to carry on with his discipling.
Gale was easily two metres tall, and robust in size, while Xiaolin was petite with a slender build, she was easily sitting wholly in his lap.
