"Big brother James?" Audrey called again, her cheeks now flushed with a visible blush. At 18 years old, she was exceptionally attractive and well aware of the effect she had on others.
She recognized the look of desire and longing in James' eyes, a gaze she was accustomed to receiving from boys and men alike. However, it surprised her to see this expression directed at her from James, who had always been serious about his dreams and training.
There were times when Audrey doubted her beauty because it didn't seem to affect her handsome big brother. But now that she had his attention, Audrey couldn't help but smile with joy.
She had taken over an hour to look her best, and she was pleased that her efforts had paid off.
"I... I apologize, Audrey. I may have been blind before, only now realizing that you are the most beautiful girl in the sect. It was foolish of me to dismiss you when you visited in the past. Will you forgive me, Audrey?" James asked, choosing his words carefully but still feeling they were somewhat cliche. Yet, he believed that anything he said would sound appealing because of his own attractiveness to the opposite sex.
And indeed, he was right. Audrey blossomed like a ripe fruit ready for picking.
"There's nothing to forgive, big brother James. I understand," Audrey smiled like a fairy, her heart fluttering now that her feelings were finally acknowledged. She desired nothing more than this man.
"This is your first visit here, and I have so much to show you, big brother James. Come," Audrey invited, and the two spent the entire day together, filled with laughter and sweet words. James returned home with a broad smile on his face.
"It's in the bag!" He shouted with exhilaration, drawing curious gazes from the sect disciples. He paid them no mind.
He knew he couldn't visit Audrey every day, as it would be impractical in a sect dedicated to training. He reasoned that a weekly visit was reasonable for their dates, and that became their routine for six months—until something happened that changed their relationship.
"I want you to live with me here, James," Audrey said one afternoon, her heart longing to see her lover every day.
"Wouldn't that interfere with your cultivation? I know I'm not talented enough to go far in this life, but you're different, Audrey. You're a genius, a prodigy! I wouldn't want to be the one to hold you back from reaching your full potential," James replied, masking his inner excitement. Living under the same roof every day would provide countless opportunities to deepen and level up their relationship.
"It would have the opposite effect instead. I'd be so motivated to improve if that happened, and I'd double my efforts, I promise!" Audrey said, revealing her fiery passion when in love. It was clear that Audrey was someone who would give everything, even her life, to the one she loved.
"I'm truly a lucky man," James couldn't help but think to himself. Ultimately, how could he refuse such a wonderful offer at his feet?
That very night, the two lovebirds slept under the same roof. Yet, there were still many unexpected surprises in store.
"Are you sure you're okay with this, Audrey? I can sleep in the other room if you prefer. It's no trouble for me at all. I'm not in a rush," James offered, employing some reverse psychology on Audrey, almost smiling at the effectiveness of this secret technique.
"Nope. I want to sleep with you, James. You smell so good," Audrey replied innocently, having cultivated diligently until midnight and now eager to rest.
"Okay then."
"Close your eyes first."
"Done."
.
..
…
"Go ahead and open your eyes now," Audrey's voice barely carried through the quiet room. She was clad in her sleepwear under the oversized blanket, feeling more shy than ever.
"Now it's your turn to close your eyes," James mimicked Audrey's approach.
"Hmm... they're closed now," Audrey complied with the game's rules, even covering her head under the blanket. James completed his nightly routine, then joined Audrey under the covers.
"You didn't turn off the light. I can't sleep with lights on," Audrey pointed out.
"Understood, my princess," James responded, rising again to extinguish all the paper lanterns in the room. He returned to bed, enveloping Audrey in absolute darkness.
Audrey hugged James under the blanket and closed her eyes happily. But it didn't take her long to notice something quite obvious.
"You're naked!" she practically screamed into James's ears.
"I forgot to mention, I sleep like this. I can always go to another room if you're not comfortable," James offered.
"It's not your fault. Besides, we never really talked about how we sleep. It'd be weird if we did," Audrey giggled.
"Doesn't matter. You can stay, James. I love you for who, what, and how you are," she added sweetly.
"I love you too, Audrey," James replied, and the two resumed their embrace.
Silence settled between them, and moments later, Audrey noticed something else.
"What's that, James?" she asked, feeling something big, long, and hard beneath the blanket. Innocent and unaware of the birds and the bees, Audrey arrived in the sect at 15 years old , where her education focused solely on cultivation.
She hadn't had the time or opportunity to explore anything beyond that.
"It's a natural reaction when I'm near you," James replied simply. He grew even more excited when he felt the huge twin treasures of Audrey at one of his shoulders. It was so big and super soft. He could imagine himself drowning at their innate bouncy features.
Still, he almost choked to death when he felt the searching hands of Audrey who explored his little brother from head to balls.
"Does it hurt?" Audrey asked.
"…" James wanted so badly to be good and be honest but still, he was merely a man, frail and easily tempted to the dark side.
"Yes it does!" He blurted the words out and could not wait to know how this night would end for the two of them.
