⤷ the bailey

@♡ choi yeonjun ʳᵒʸᵃˡ ᵍᵘᵃʳᵈ sparks fly and the dewy touch of the guard's fingers hinting, ghosting just a smidgen over the milky white skin belonging to the princess, was enough to render her speechless. oh the effect her lover holds upon her knows no bounds. upon spending all this time with yeonjun, yizhuo knows without a doubt that there can be no other who can love as selflessly, earnestly, and purely as he does. others may look at the male as someone less than her, a mere commoner, he's nothing but a mutt that's supposed to obey her every command, every word that spills from the princess' rosy couplets. the same very one that's parting for the male in eager anticipation. but no - choi yeonjun is more than that, he's a man of honor, of her honor, he's her soulmate.

soulmates will always end up together, no matter how much love was lost, and no matter how much distance there was. they lose each other, to find each other. that is what it means, if someone is meant for you, if they were to leave, they will return and stay forever. at least that's what yizhuo feels for the male as she feels the tender touches bursting out into goosebumps, an array of pretty dentures rise upon her milky skin as her breath hitches. the decadence swelling on her lips from the male's has her body leaning in for more, a startled and pathetic whine falling from her rosy pair as her soft eyes flicker up into his. "you can't just kiss me so sweetly and stop midway my knight, what sort of behavior is that?" she's teasing as her eyes flicker around the area before finding his once more, she inches up and presses a firmer kiss on his lips. the rivulets of passion carding through the air and meeting the man's pillowy cushion pair as her eyes slip shut and all her love, longing, lust, and need for his presence is sealed in that one liplock.

"I love you," she uttered breathlessly as they parted, her lips, the woman could not help but chuckle under her breath - long gone is the icy cold demeanor she saves for when others were around - save for when her lover was in the public viewing and he's by far no knight, but she still calls him as such. the royal guard outshines any other knight in the palace she belongs to and the surrounding ones far and wide. her yeonjun has been the best of the best and it's the only person she puts her full trust and faith in, her life is in his hands and she knows all too well that he values it more than his own. "our last meeting was me being a to you in front of the others, as per always, but I guess you miss that side of me huh?" her voice comes out tentative, soft, deft fingers are gliding over the smooth expanse of his chiseled jaw, admiring, touching as if he's a prized piece of art - he's a god among men in the princess' eyes and no one can tell her differently. not even her stupid parents. her obsidian orbs twinkle under the gleaming sunlight that gives her light, emerald irises gaze into his, as she's drawing power from the earth, her feet bare and touching the grass as her toes curl into the luscious softness just as she noses along his throat and press a soft kiss there. "would you accompany to my chambers, my love? i wish to have a bath and I wish you would be there with me." her voice is firm yet there's that reserved sweetness saved only for him - always for him.

@♡ lee yizhuo ᵖʳᶦⁿᶜᵉˢˢ yeonjun’s demeanor immediately softened as he melted, quite literally, into his lover’s gentle caress. the soft touch reminded him of how much he yearned for this serene moment of just the two of them. the compliment is one that he has heard many times, however it always elicited the same reaction without fail. the tips of yeonjun’s ears colored a blazing red within seconds and he had to bite back the grin that threatened to spread across his lips, not wanting to show that he enjoyed hearing that far more than he should be. “thank you kindly, your highness.” he managed to find his voice after the slight stupor.

when yizhuo tipped his head upward, his fond gaze instantly found hers. he could feel himself getting lost in those luminous pools of obsidian tinged with a hint of emerald. alas, the reverie was short-lived as the command rang clearly in his ears, her demanding tone sent a shiver of excitement down his spine. he rose from his knelt position and inched forward, their knees just barely grazing each other. he brought his hands up to gently cradle the other’s cheeks so he could lift her face upward whilst he leaned down, his brims ghosting above hers. finally finding the courage, he locked their lips in a tender yet fleeting kiss for he was afraid that if he persisted any longer, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from wanting more than just chaste intimacy.

as yeonjun pulled back, one of his palms lingered on her right cheek. he ran his thumb across the soft, supple expanse of her skin as his gaze settled on yizhuo’s visage, mesmerized by her elegant beauty. “i missed you dearly, my princess,” he spoke with a mellow tone while the corners of his lips curled upward into a winsome smile. “although our last meeting was not too long ago,” he added lightheartedly with a brief chuckle.

@♡ choi yeonjun ʳᵒʸᵃˡ ᵍᵘᵃʳᵈ Hearing the scurry of shoes coming closer, little scrubs and rubs of the base of the knight's boots against the richness of green, luscious grass, the scent wafting in the air from Yeonjun's cedarwood and early dew scent makes her brain go fuzzy. Her eyes gloss over just a little as dark orbs fixate on the man's gorgeous features when he's on his knee. Rightfully so. Yeonjun has always looked pretty on his knees for the young princess and it goes without a doubt that she's reeling from this revelation upon gazing down at the male curiously. Her eyes dimming slightly and slowly ghost over in a blanket of warmth, and just like that — the icy facade dissipates. She knew no one was around, she made sure of that to have some time with him. A delicate palm caresses his chiseled jawline, touching, teasing, skimming her fingertips in butterfly touches over the supple, smoothness of his skin.

"You're beautiful like this, Mister Choi." Her voice is airy, and flirtatious as her hand tips his face up so his eyes can meet her gaze rimmed with luscious green just as the aura her earthly embodiment gives off. "Kiss me." She commands lowly, her voice void of any emotion, going back to that ruthless, cold persona, knowing all too well that the older male is a masochist at heart and he quivers in the vicinity of the princess' bossy, y ways.

@♡ lee yizhuo ᵖʳᶦⁿᶜᵉˢˢ the royal guard walked with much haste towards the courtyard after receiving the call that princess yizhuo needed his assistance. yeonjun's heart palpitated every step he took closer to his destination as he always felt giddy when doing these meetings since the two shared a clandestine bond. before entering the bailey, he scoped the area in search of any possibly onlookers and found no one. he silently cheered in his head then composed himself before walking into the grassy area. his eyes instantly locked onto the lithe silhouette that sat on one of the chairs. her graceful figure and alluring aura had always captivated yeonjun without fail. he carefully approached the princess then took a knee while his head tilted down in a bow. "your royal highness, i have arrived." he announced without a quiver in his voice. no matter how close they were, yeonjun always greeted his princess with utmost respect.

@♡ choi yeonjun "Hello, can you please tell my personal guard that I'm in need of his assistance?" Her words are cold and sharp, as yizhuo lounged back against one of the chairs that's situated I'm the castle's courtyard, her head tipping as some sunrays flash down against her delicate features. The princess loved nature by default and this was no different, a hand reaching out for the closest flower to wind the vines around her hand and feel the petal's supple touch on the pads of her fingertips. Heart beating quickly in her chest as she await for her lover, excited to see and spend time with him.
