Keeping that warning inside him, he leaned forward and gave Li Shen a light kiss.
Li Shen had tilted his chin up, not resisting at all, almost welcoming him.
It had only been a few nights since the last time they did it, but the kiss felt the same as always, like the beginning of their usual intimacy.
"N… hey, Somnus… can we… lower the lights a little more?"
Somnus nodded at the familiar request.
With a simple spell, he dimmed all the lights in the room at once.
Only then did Li Shen finally relax his shoulders and he returned a kiss that was just like the one Somnus had given him earlier.
And so, Somnus slowly uncovered Li Shen's slender, familiar body again that night.
He pushed aside the night robe, which revealing Li Shen's faintly flushed skin.
One nipple he pinched lightly with his fingers and the other he rolled with his tongue before gently pressing his teeth against it.
