:: Clandestine Meetings ::
Chapter 5

Yibo settled onto the quilted blanket he placed on the ground of the fort as he read over his assignment. His back pressed against the centre pole that supported the fort. He was having a difficult time thinking about anything lately but Xio Zhan. Even if Lucy's murder still loomed over him like a shadow in a dark alley, Yibo's attention was not on proving his innocence as much as proving to Zhan that this new relationship was worth the risk. Yibo didn't even care that they were a secret. Actually, he kind of liked the risk in having to hide his and Zhan's new found liaison. It was even entertaining hiding it from Yanli.

Yibo shook his head with a roll of his eyes. Yanli really thought she knew him. She thought that she could peer into his soul and pull out Yibo's true personality. Poor naïve little girl. Like with everyone else, Yibo only allowed Yanli to see what he wanted her to see. The only person that caught him off guard was Xio Zhan. The more clandestine meetings they had, the more Zhan was seeing glimpses of Yibo that he hid from others. Yibo didn't like that. However, he seemed to be too at ease with Zhan.

Do sociopaths feel love? Yibo wondered if that is what was happening with him when it came to Zhan. There was no doubt that his attraction for Zhan was growing more intense with each second that passed. The fact was that Yibo did love. Perhaps even a love so intense due to the selfish nature behind the love. Yibo knew this because he wanted to drink in every aspect of Zhan and devour him. He didn't care that Zhan's life would be more difficult with him. He wanted Zhan selfishly and he planned on having him anyhow.

"Hey." Zhan's nervous voice came out just above a whisper. He stuck his head in the opening of the fort."I got your text."

Yibo placed his textbook beside him and patted the space between his open legs. "Hey. I was wondering if you were coming."

Zhan felt hesitant to sit between Yibo's awaiting thighs. However, Yibo's pull on him pushed away the uneasiness. Zhan soon found himself with Yibo's muscular thighs pressed up against the sides of his own legs. Zhan leaned his back against Yibo's chest relishing in the feeling of his arms around him. Yibo rubbed his hands up and down Zhan's arms as he placed his chin on Zhan's shoulder.

"Aren't you afraid Yanli will catch us?" Zhan closed his eyes as he leaned deeper into Yibo's embrace.

"She's out of town with her parents and Kyl."

Zhan could feel Yibo pushing his hair from his neck. Yibo's hot breath teased his neck seductively before his teeth teased at Zhan's skin. Zhan's hands went to Yibo's thighs as his fingers dug into his jean clad skin. Instinctively, Zhan arched his neck sideways allowing Yibo's mouth more access to the skin of his neck. Zhan closed his eyes tightly as Yibo continued his expert assault on his neck and earlobe.

Yibo's hand edged up the front of Zhan's sweater catching him momentarily off guard. Zhan allowed it. When Yibo's hands slid back down to his stomach, Zhan felt a wave of disappointment wash over him. However, Yibo's hand soon found its way under his sweater to touch the taut skin on his stomach. Soon his hand travelled back up Zhan's body. This time under his sweater and against his soft supple skin. Zhan pushed his back harder into Yibo's hard chest as he arched his chest towards Yibo's hand. Zhan secretly was displeased with himself for wearing too many layers of clothing to bar the cold. Also the fact that he cannot give the satisfaction of a woman's breast, made him somewhat gloomy. In spite of all those layers, the thin material of his inner vest allowed him to feel Yibo's hand without him touching his skin.

Zhan's eyes shot open when Yibo quickly took his hands away and brought them to his hips. In one swift motion, Yibo had turned Zhan around to face him. Zhan's panting breath blew the wisps of hair on Yibo's face back and forth. Zhan's mouth opened slightly with the fierce breathing that was coming from deep within his lungs. Yibo bit his bottom lip suggestively. He clamped his hands under the crook at Zhan's knees before pulling him closer to his body. Somehow, Yibo had managed to have Zhan's body straddling him.

Both their breaths mingled as silence filled their childhood fort. Zhan watched mesmerised by the way Yibo's hair flanked his face accentuating his perfect masculine features. BEAUTIFUL.

Yibo's dark brooding eyes explored Zhan's brown ones. Zhan could have sworn that Yibo's dark eyes turned a blacker colour as he stared at him. Zhan noticed his pupils dilating as he stared at his brown irises. He wondered if his eyes displayed the same obvious lust that Yibo's eyes did.

Yibo slowly took his hand to Zhan's chin. He allowed his thumb to capture Zhan's bottom lip and pull it down.

Zhan could feel the air hit the inside of his lip as Yibo held his thumb pressed against it.

Yibo's eyes fixated on Zhan's mouth before travelling down to his neck. The hand, not touching Zhan's face, reached for the nape of his neck. He pulled Zhan towards him, allowing their breaths to mingle more. Only centimetres were between their lips when his lustful whisper echoed in the silence.

"I missed you."

With those words, Yibo sealed their mouths together. Zhan's body instinctively arched on Yibo's lap causing Yibo to moan out in pleasure. One of Zhan's hands entangled in his dark locks as the other hand touched Yibo's chest. Zhan's fingers enlaced in his shirt desperately clinging on to him. Yibo was becoming more than Zhan's desire at this point. Yibo was becoming his need.

Zhan was the one to pull from the kiss and attack Yibo's neck this time. He nibbled and nipped at Yibo's neck trying to allow him the same pleasure he had shown Zhan. His groaning alerted Zhan that Zhan was doing a good job of that. His hips rocked upwards into Zhan's. Zhan bit down on his neck in shock of the feeling of his desire pressed against Zhan's very core.

Zhan wanted him. That was never doubted. But Zhan's doubts were all about the normal doubts of an innocent boy allowing another not so innocent boy to take that innocence. "I..." Zhan panted in Yibo's ear. "Want..." Zhan could feel their bodies rocking together as their hips twisted into each other. "You...but..."

Yibo stopped Zhan's protest with his mouth on Zhan's. He bit Zhan's bottom lip before taking his tongue along the roof of his mouth. Zhan whimpered at the new way Yibo was exploring his mouth with his tongue as well as exploring Zhan's body with his gentle touches.

Zhan had never felt so extremely mixed with the primal need and the raw emotions that teased his heart and body. Yibo only broke the kiss momentarily to gauge Zhan's reaction.

"Yibo..."

The way his name came out in a sultry tone from Zhan's lips caused Yibo to growl inside Zhan's mouth when he assaulted his lips again. Yibo flipped Zhan over so that his body was on top of Zhan's. Zhan's legs still were straddled around his hips.

"Please...Yibo..." Zhan once again whispered throatily as Yibo's hands ran down between his thighs. "I'm scared."

Yibo stopped his hands from their destination when he heard his words. He leaned up on his elbows to stare into Zhan's big eyes. "Of me?"

Zhan nodded his head no as his panting breath caused his chest to rise and fall. "No." Another laboured whisper. "Of us..of this."

"Why?" Yibo exhaled deeply causing his hair to bob into his face. His arms shook beside Zhan due to the desire that had built in his body. "I know you want me as much as I do you."

Zhan nodded in agreement as his eyes travelled away from Yibo's eyes. Zhan lowered his eyes to explore Yibo's chest. Somehow between their heated movements, Yibo's shirt had been pushed up to reveal his muscular abs. Zhan's hand shook as he touched him. Yibo's skin ignited his fingers as Zhan played on his abs.

"I do." Zhan admitted still averting his eyes from his. "I'm not sure..."

"It's okay." Yibo smirked. "I can wait. I've waited for six years to have you. I can wait a little longer."
