"This is poison," Maomao calmly stated, holding the white cloth to her lips. She rose from the pillow, bowing swiftly to the consort she served. "Forgive me, my lady, I must go." she added before briskly departing the room.

Lady Gyokuyou paused, her expression shifting from curiosity to concern. She glanced at Jinshi, silently communicating her worry. "Don't worry," Jinshi reassured her with a bow. "I'll attend to her." He hurried out after the apothecary, closing the door gently and scanning the halls for Maomao.

Spotting her turning a corner, he pursued. She moved swiftly, attempting to evade him, but his long legs matched her pace.

"Maomao." Jinshi called out, causing her to pause, cheeks tinged with pink. He approached her curiously, noticing her uneasy demeanor.

"I'm fine," she muttered, covering her face with a sleeve, hoping he'd take the hint. But Jinshi persisted, stepping closer as she stepped away.

It wasn 't till she reached the end of the hall, she began to plead with him to stay back. Concern etched his features as she trembled, trying to restrain something.

"Have you thrown it up?" Jinshi asked, worry evident. She shook her head vigorously, her green locks swaying.

"Lord Jinshi, please stay there," she implored urgently. Her increasing warmth made maintaining composure challenging.

"Maomao..." Jinshi whispered, extending a hand toward her. She shut her eyes, resisting, but eventually disclosed, "It was an aphrodisiac, a potent one. I can't identify its exact composition. So I can't make a counter drug."

Her swift exit and lack of the typical poison-tasting reaction suddenly made sense. Her interest lay in lethal substances, not aphrodisiacs.

With a playful glint in his eyes, Jinshi inched closer, a faint smile playing on his lips as he leaned against the wall, hemming Maomao in. Despite her attempts, escape seemed futile, her legs betraying her with a growing numbness.

'Is that so? ' He questioned, taking a strand of her hair between his fingers. He let it slip through, his purple eyes meeting hers, and for a moment he thought she'd simply hiss at him, push him away, or scold him for toying with her.

However, that wasn 't the case.

Her arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him down with so much force it had hurt. Her mouth smashing against his in a feverish kiss. Leaving the wall, he stuck out his hands by her sides, not wanting to touch her more than he had. There was no way she wouldn 't kill him for this later. Had he just listened, he wouldn 't be kissing her right now.

After what felt like five minutes she parted, her hot pants, ghosting over his now red lips. They felt bruised but he didn't mind, if anything he was worried what she might do next. She was high on aphrodisiacs, her brain was not putting down the boundaries she had always built between them.

'Damn it, it didn't fix it. ' She growled. Pulling him back down she kissed him again, nipping his bottom lip till he allowed her to invade his mouth with her tongue. A soft moan came from her as she explored his mouth, the taste of the chicken soup and the sweetness of the aphrodisiac still on her tongue.

With what little thoughts he had left, he pulled from the kiss, sucking in air because of her long assault. 'Maomao, what are you- '

'I need you to pleasure me. I can't be like this the rest of the day. I know about the frog, but use those fingers of yours and help me out so I can get back to work. ' She hissed, pulling at his top. Jinshi took a moment, her words not fully processing with him just yet.

Then without another word he pressed his hand to the crotch of her skirt, the moan that left her perfectly pink lips, made him ascend to heaven. He'd never thought she'd let him go this far, and he sure as hell wasn't going to miss it.

With skilled fingers he slid his hand up her thigh pushing the fabric up, two fingers brushing over her swollen clit. Another sweet moan escaped her and without needing any more coxing he ran his fingers over her slick entrance.

Of course she was soaked already, holding back from these aphrodisiacs weren't child's play. It was to turn her on, to have her body crave stimulation. Sliding two fingers in he started to pump them, curling them now and again. Her whines became sharp, her hands pulling at the fabric of his robe.

Closing her eyes she rocked her body against his hand, enjoying the feeling of his long digits sliding in and out of her, spreading her, curling and brushing over the spot that drove her closer to the edge of her climax.

Clinging onto him desperately she bucked her hips, moans falling from her as she got closer, and closer. Then shoving her face against his shoulder she cried out in pleasure, cum spilling from between her walls and running down his fingers.

Taking a few breaths she tried to collect herself, the fuzzy feeling from her high keeping her content in his arms. Slowly retracting his fingers he brought them to his mouth, licking the slick from them. With a gentle hum and a cocky smile he finally pulled away from her.

'You taste lovely~ ' He whispered, finishing his meal. Maomao turned a darker shade of red, her face burning as the aching problem slowly came back.

'Why did he have to say that? ' She thought in spite.

'I 'll take what I can get~ ' He chimed, turning away from her to make his exit. However, she grabbed the back of his robe, bowing her head to hide her burning cheeks. He peeked back over his shoulder, interested in what she might say. 'Maomao~? ' He questioned with a hint of teasing.

'Just ' ' She shook her head, her body trembling. 'Just use the frog. ' She stated. Her hand held onto his top, so hard that her knuckles were turning white.

'Are you sure about that? ' He asked, slowly turning. Once she let him go, he took her hand, holding it as he pulled her to him again. Using his free hand he rubbed small circles on her lower back. 'I 'm not allowed to do such things in my position~ ' He teased, finding it rather fun to kick her when she was down.

'Damn it. ' Shoving at his chest she pushed her face far enough away to look up to him. Tears were now pooling in her eyes, her face a dark red. 'If you won 't, then I 'll find someone who will! '

His lips were back on hers, her body pressed back against the wall as he deepened the kiss. The first time she was in control but now it was his turn. She was at his mercy, her fingers twitching between his as his free hand rubbed her hip.

'Stop me now Maomao. ' He whispered, moving down and pulling open her top. Kissing down her neck he paused, nipping gently at the space he knew would be covered. As much as he wanted her, he didn 't want her to regret this. 'I don 't want to ruin you. '

'Then you 'll just have to take care of me. ' Her voice was soft, a light whisper in the wind. Picking her up he let her wrap her legs around his waist before making his way to an empty room. It was a storeroom but it was good enough for this impromptu moment.

'If I do this, you may never marry. ' He clarified. Still she didn't listen, she just fueled the flames by pushing his robe from his shoulder, moving to bite it. A sharp hiss came from him as she bit harshly, his blood pooling at her fangs.

'I don't care. ' She stated once more. He sat her on a table, pulling open her top, he pushed her down before he took a nipple into his mouth, sucking as she ran her hands through his silky locks. 'You'll just have to marry me. 'She added, head rolling back at the pleasure.

'I will. ' He whispered. Grabbing the under sides of her legs he pulled her up, the fabric of her skirt gathering at her hips, leaving her exposed to him. With a devilish smirk he bent down, taking the little bundle of nerves into his mouth and sucking. Her sweet moans pushed him to continue, his fingers finding her entrance once more, toying with the needy hole.

She tugged more at his hair, his fingers sliding back into her, pumping and spreading as he sucked her clit. Her lovely, warm walls tightened, her breathing shallow as she neared her next climax. This time however, he pulled back just before she could cum. With a sharp whine she sent a glare at the noble man.

'Jinshi. ' She hissed, cat ears forming on her head. With a chuckle he simply undid his robes, letting them fall to the floor along with his pants. Sure enough, he did in fact have his frog, a rather decent one at that.

She knew from the Three Princesses at Verdigris House that size didn't always matter, but she was still intimidated by the thickness. Then again it was the thickness that Meimei loved so much. Jyoka was more into foreplay and got off with clit stimulation, as to where Pairin enjoyed a thick but long cock.

Just thinking of how the three of them took on so many, made her shudder. The warmth from the aphrodisiac was no match for the horrors she had seen there.

'Maomao? ' Jinshi asked, blushing to hell and back as she stared at his dick. Her eyes turned up to him, unaware of the awkward moment she had just put him in. 'Is it not good enough? ' He asked, pressing his pointer fingers together.

'Huh? ' She questioned, her previous actions going over her head. 'I was just thinking that Meimei liked the thick ones. ' She said with no hesitation.

'So it's not!? ' He almost screeched. Maomao took a long moment, playing through the last few minutes in her head.

'No, you're rather a decent size. I've seen small, and I have seen SMALL. ' She told him, pronouncing the second small a bit louder and longer. 'Honestly, I'm just a little intimidated. It's not like I had any desire to do this type of thing. So being in this position ' ' Her voice trailed off.

'I won't hurt you, if I do you may slap me. ' He said with a proud tone.

'Somehow I think you'd get off on that. ' She muttered in response.

'Either way, ' Leaning over her he gave her a sweet and gentle kiss. 'I'll take full responsibility for you. ' Maomao opened her mouth to respond with something witty, but all that left her was a moan as he pushed himself into her.

His hands held her hips as she stretched back against the table, covering her mouth with a hand to smother the moans. As much as he wanted to cum then and there, he held back, enjoying the view before him.

She laid out on the table, top open, pink nipples perky from the stimulation she's had. His dick fit snugly inside of her, hips locked together, his hands running over her hips and down her thighs that were pressing against his sides. It would have driven any man mad.

'Move. ' She whined behind her sleeve, biting the fabric as she fought through the pain she felt. With a nod he slowly pulled himself out, taking note of the blood from deflowering her.

Another whine pulled him back to the situation at hand, his hips bucking forward and burying his cock deep inside her once more. Her other hand joined her mouth, quieting her moans as he began to thrust.

At first they were slow and deliberately aimed to hit spots inside her. But once he hit the spot that drove her insane, he picked up his speed. Maomao's legs tightened around him, her voice muffled by the fabric of her sleeves as he rammed in again and again.

She tightened around him, her back arching as she neared her second climax, this time silently begging he wouldn't stop. Then biting into the fabric she came around him, a sharp whine escaping her throat as she twitched around his still moving cock.

Then everything felt warm, her eyes rolled back as he pressed into her, cumming from the tightening and loosening of her walls around him. He couldn't help but moan softly himself, his climax coming in hot pumps of cum, filling her up.

'Better? ' He asked, slowly coming down from his high. Maomao on the other hand wasn't done, she pulled him against her with her legs, forcing him to press deeper Into her. 'Guess not. '

With that he pulled her legs from around himself, putting them over his shoulders as he began to thrust again. The smaller girl moaned in pleasure, the wet sounds of sex filling the room. Taking his hand he set it on her lower abdomen, pressing down as he thrust. Her eyes opened, her body arching as she chased the pleasure.

Drool was running down her chin, the fabric in her mouth soaked from the saliva. Carefully he pulled her hands from her mouth, his lips meeting hers as his fingers laced with hers, pinning her hands down to the table. He kept his speed, her body rocking back against his as she moaned into his mouth.

He swallowed every one, enjoying the way she made him feel. Jinshi had never really thought of doing such acts before, but when it came to Maomao it was all he wanted. He only ever wanted her happy, and right now she was over the moon.

Her walls tightened, her chest burning from lack of air. It was becoming too much, her mind becoming fuzzy from her impending third climax. Then with one last loud moan she came around him, coxing him into his second climax of the day.

Breaking the kiss the two of them took in air, hearts racing as their lungs expanded with oxygen. He stayed in her, limp but unwilling to leave her warmth just yet. They both came down from the high, the two of them locking eyes for the first time since this whole thing had started.

'Better. ' She whispered, still taking in needed air. A smile came to Jinshi as he gave her forehead a gentle kiss.

'Good, I didn't think I could go three rounds in a row. ' He sighed, his forehead pressing to hers. She gave a quiet chuckle, looking up to him with a sly smirk.

'You're responsible~ ' She chimed, a cat-like grin present. With a sigh he pulled away, the moment ruined by the reminder he would be responsible for everything.

'Yes, I know. ' He remarked, unamused at her reminder. A giggle came from her but he quickly stopped it as he pulled out, leaving her empty. Their cum spilling from her and dripping onto the floor below.

'What a mess. ' Maomao stated, sitting up to address the mess they had made. Jinshi was the first to redress, using a cloth to clean himself before fetching a pail of water. Once he returned he helped her clean up, a burning question popping into his head.

'So, if you're with child, ' He began, looking up to her.

'I'm an apothecary, I know how to get rid of it. ' She said matter-of-factly.

'If that's what you wish, then so be it. ' Finishing up he helped her redress, perfectly content with the situation.

'However, if it fails, you'll be getting a nasty letter from an angry consort~ ' She smirked, fully intending to throw him under the carriage if she needed to. With a sigh he bowed his head, giving into her.

'You have no shame. ' He muttered.

'Neither do you, we're in a storehouse. ' She pointed out. After a short pause he laughed, coxing a small giggle from her as well.

'I suppose I don't~ '
