Passion Raga Novel - Chapter 87 - End

The deeply embedded penis, lubricated by the released fluid, could now move in and out more smoothly. Ling Xinlu, seemingly lost in his lust, regained a bit of reason, and his violent movements softened slightly. But clearly, he didn’t care about his earlier promise of “just once,” shamelessly remaining inside him without pulling out.

Ling Xinlu continued to slowly rotate his hips, grinding back and forth inside Yuri, while supporting Yuri’s trembling, unsupported back against the pool wall.

Yuri relaxed, looking up at Ling Xinlu who was intently observing him. Sparkling water droplets rolled down his smooth, jade-like body, illuminated by the full moonlight. His deep black eyes burned with fire, shining brightly, looking straight at him. Yuri gazed at this beautiful yet dangerous creature, blurting out the thought he had just had in his mind:

“You look like a mermaid.”

Ling Xinlu raised an eyebrow, then chuckled softly. His eyes narrowed charmingly.

“That’s right. Because I can’t live without water.”

He whispered, then leaned forward again. The penis that had already filled him now pressed tighter, making Yuri hold his breath. That rough sensation began to transmit heat again, meticulously thrusting in waves.

“Continue… then… go ashore… do it…”

Hearing Yuri stammer those words, Ling Xinlu just squeezed his chest lightly and kissed it. He was clearly showing that he wanted to do it down here, and Yuri knew it was useless to say anything now.

Unlike Yuri, who didn’t like doing anything other than swimming in the pool, Ling Xinlu preferred to tease him more than swim. Especially on days like today when the water was changed.

“You know… how much I like doing this underwater.”

Ling Xinlu whispered to Yuri in a gentle, coaxing voice, but it contained an uncompromising firmness:

“I want to swim in this water. Swim in the water that has mingled with me, so that when I see someone who loves water sometimes even more than me, I won’t have to be jealous of the water itself.”

“So… a few more times, okay?” His voice, mixed with ragged breaths, brushed past Yuri’s ear. The rhythm increased as he pushed deeper inside him.

Yuri looked at Ling Xinlu with a resigned gaze, about to say something, then fell silent. If he asked, “Why do you think such strange things?”, this man would surely smile brightly and reply, “Do you really want to know what ‘strange’ is?” before lunging at him.

The sound of water continued to echo in his ears.

Splashing sounds mingled with bursting bubbles, interspersed with wet, unpleasant noises. They quickly turned into a suffocating sensation, clinging to his entire body. From head to toe, he felt submerged in water. That thick stickiness became a suffocating pleasure that enveloped everything.

In his swaying vision, Yuri saw Ling Xinlu, who had been staring at him unblinkingly for who knew how long. They bit, sucked, and swallowed each other whole.

“Beautiful.”

Ling Xinlu’s whisper seemed to float somewhere in space. Unable to penetrate Yuri’s intoxicated mind, it vanished instantly. He clung tightly to the hot body, the only clear sensation at this moment.

“So beautiful… I want to let the whole world know you’re mine.” The passionate voice licked over Yuri’s body.

The voice, filled with heat, seemed to lick Gable’s skin.

He couldn’t understand what this beautiful merman was saying. With the sound of water filling his ears, Gable could only curl his body. But no matter how many times he curled up, he couldn’t stop the heat pouring into his body. No, in fact, he didn’t want to stop it; he wanted more, more… He wanted to make this person his own.

“I want to love you. I want to tell the whole world you’re mine. I want to show everyone how much you love me. So no one dares to covet you anymore. I want to engrave in your heart that you are mine. I made you like this… But I don’t want anyone to see you. How can something so beautiful be admired by others? Only I know.”

The greedy aquatic beast muttered as if grinding his teeth, then swallowed Gable whole.

Just like that, Gable was completely taken by him.

After slowly swimming about twenty laps around the pool, the chaotic thoughts also dissipated, and his mood became much more relaxed.

All the heavy, uncomfortable emotions lingering in his mind seemed to have dissolved into the water. Gable lifted his head from the water as usual and slowly swam forward.

When his eyes met Ling Xinlu, who was leaning lazily on a poolside chair, he chuckled and sat up.

“Feeling better now, aren’t you?”

“Yeah. Xinlu, do you want to come down?”

“No. I already swam a few laps earlier. You know I don’t like swimming. Besides, there’s no reason to go into the pool anymore today.”

“…..”

The remark was a bit annoying. The strange feeling in the water made Gable slightly uncomfortable. But just as he was about to frown, Ling Xinlu, who always had a devilish ability to read others’ moods, leaned forward, smiling softly with the adorable expression he liked most.

“Don’t want to come up? I want to kiss Gable again.”

“Then you come down here.”

“If I come down there, it won’t just stop at a kiss. I’m fine, but can Gable handle it?”

“……”

It might just be a joke now, but if he hesitated for a few more seconds, it would become the truth.

Gable immediately swam towards the pool ladder. Partly because he was afraid Ling Xinlu would actually jump in, and partly because he felt he had swum enough; if he continued, he might actually get tired.

Gable got out of the pool and sat on an empty chair. Ling Xinlu immediately wrapped him in a large towel and handed him a glass of water.

A faint salty taste of brine spread on his tongue, making Gable chuckle.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing… It just tastes like seawater. It’s delicious.”

“You think seawater is delicious?” Ling Xinlu frowned as if he had heard something strange.

Gable drank the rest of the water, took the empty glass from his hand, and then gently placed a kiss on his lips. Ling Xinlu pulled the empty chair closer and sat next to him, both looking in the same direction.

In the sky, a bright full moon hung, casting down pure white light. A starless night sky, a quiet garden with a gentle breeze. And amidst that scene, a body of water sparkling with moonlight.

A perfect night to love a mermaid.

The damp sensation still lingered in his body, Gable gently exhaled.

“I just thought of something.”

Ling Xinlu suddenly spoke.

“What if Gable is actually a merman? You love water so much, and mermen don’t age.”

His serious tone made Gable laugh helplessly.

“I’m not a merman.”

“How are you so sure?”

“Hmm… That’s right. Can’t be entirely sure.”

Gable had never won against Ling Xinlu in these strange arguments, so this time he decided to give up early, lazily leaning back in the chair and enjoying the cool breeze.

“What if you really are a merman? Would I hate you?”

“I hate you?”

Ling Xinlu chuckled, waving his hand as if it were a question not worth answering. After a moment of contemplation, he shook his head.

“No. Merfolk live too long, that would be troublesome.”

“Then Gabe can’t become a merman.”

Ling Xinlu concluded as if it were an obvious truth, as if one could become a merman just by wishing it. Yuri silently watched him for a long time before speaking.

“So I’m not allowed to live long?”

“No. You’re not allowed to live longer than me. Are you planning to leave me alone in a world without you? No way. What if someone covets you?”

“……”

Yuri glared at Ling Xinlu, who was brazenly saying such selfish things as if they were obvious. But it seemed this wasn’t a joke. Ling Xinlu stared at him, saying seriously:

“You’re not allowed to live longer than me, nor are you allowed to die before me. We will die on the same day.”

“……”

Wanting to die on the same day as someone else, was that a Chinese tradition? Yuri unconsciously thought idly, then whispered:

“By then, we’ll be old men. Who would target old men anymore?”

But this time, what he received was a mocking snort.

“You think you’ll be an old man by then? Look at you, over thirty and still like this, who knows if you’ll be as perfectly preserved at eighty or ninety? People age with time, but you just stay beautiful like this, it’s unsettling.”

Ling Xinlu said with an extremely displeased expression, then emphasized with a decisive tone:

“I’m not kidding. I really want to die with you.”

The sincerity in his voice was so clear that anyone could feel it. Yuri stared at him stunned for a moment, then chuckled softly.

“Well, it’s true I look a bit younger than my age… But not as much as you think. It’s just your eyes are clouded. And you yourself are very beautiful too. You’re always so beautiful, it’s not just me who’s to blame.”

Yuri said calmly.

Suddenly—

Ling Xinlu froze.

His body was motionless as if he had turned to stone. His face also showed no movement, only a blush slowly spreading, dyeing his entire skin. Yuri had no special intention when saying that, but Ling Xinlu’s reaction made him blink slightly in confusion.

He didn’t expect someone who was always calm, unperturbed no matter what he heard, could be so happy because of a sentence like that. Just because it was something he said.

Ling Xinlu gritted his teeth, muttering something that sounded like a curse or a sigh. But before those murmurs could finish, he suddenly lunged, pinning Yuri down.

The two slid lightly on the grass, but strangely the chair didn’t tip over. Ling Xinlu pressed close to Yuri, holding his face, then kissed him.

A kiss so passionate it swallowed his breath whole. Yuri, who initially struggled, gradually accepted reality, wrapping his arms around his neck.

“……Do you want to go back into the water?”

Ling Xinlu whispered, panting between kisses. Yuri hesitated, looking at him for a moment, then relaxed his shoulders.

“…Stay here.” He whispered, pressing his lips to his chin.

Ling Xinlu smiled.

“Anywhere is fine with me. Wherever I am, I’ll still be immersed in my own water.”

He whispered that, then gently embraced him with all the tenderness he could give.

The creature of water had now transformed into a nocturnal beast, silently standing under the bright full moon. Although his face was obscured by shadow, those dark eyes still shone so brightly that one couldn’t look away.

Eyes that only saw Yuri. Eyes that Yuri had always gazed into.

A wild creature, untameable, erratic, and sometimes infuriatingly unreasonable, yet so adorable that he couldn’t let go.

Yuri wrapped his arms tightly around him.

A strong scent of water permeated the air.

He didn’t know if the scent came from him or from Yuri. But at that moment, none of it mattered anymore.

No matter whose it was, that scent was enveloping both of them.
