Spear and Cross

He smoothed the long hair on the big tail, then looked up at Hampton.

The knight was leaning on his chair to drink, seeing him looking over, raised the corner of his mouth and touched his glass with his own.

"what happened?"

Fraxis shook his head and shook his glass. The golden ale swayed a few times in the glass, reflecting some dazzling light under the dim light.

He was only wearing a nightgown, and because of his sitting posture, the front of the shirt did not fit snugly against his chest. Instead, there was an imaginative gap, revealing his beautiful collarbone and a small piece of skin on his chest, which made people unbearable Live to pay attention to the scenery there.But he was a little drunk, and he was thinking about something casually, and he didn't notice Hampton's gaze that lingered on it for too long.

"Honey, why don't you talk?" Hampton deliberately bent down to tease him, but found that his eyes were half closed, and the feather fan-like eyelashes covered most of the open part, as if he was about to fall asleep.

In his opinion, no matter how strong ale is, there is a limit, and he only drank a few glasses. He thought that Fracis would not get drunk so quickly—maybe it was because he was too tired?Hampton propped his hand on the armrest of the soft chair and leaned closer.This distance made him almost able to feel Fraxis' breathing, but the latter still didn't respond. Instead, Lilian, who was curled up in his arms, let out a light snort, and then came out lightly, from Fraxis's breath. Knees hit the ground.

"Good girl." The knight praised it appreciatively, then stretched out his hand, and easily hugged Fraxis who was leaning back in the chair with his eyes closed.

Last time in the lounge of the pastor's house, he semi-forcibly pressed Francis on the bed, and he always felt a little regretful that he couldn't experience this action.But in real practice, he discovered that his Mr. Noble is indeed very different from other priests. These differences are not only reflected in temper and combat effectiveness, but also in weight.Although it is not difficult to hug, if you don't know who you are hugging, even if you tell him that it is the weight of a knight, he will believe it.

Due to long-term exercise, Fraxis' body is much stronger than that of ordinary spellcasters. The thin layer of muscles is smooth and graceful, but it does not appear strong, but a kind of flexibility that arouses people's desire to conquer.

Of course, he didn't show the "powerful" part now when he was asleep-otherwise the bridge of Hampton's nose looking down at him would suffer.

Hampton put Francis on the bed, and then looked him up and down. Seeing that he hadn't responded yet, he finally couldn't help laughing, and leaned over to kiss his lips.

"Since you are so persistent in wanting to play Sleeping Beauty today, even pretending to be drunk to achieve it, then I have no choice but to cooperate."

"..."

He spoke the truth so directly, there was no point in Fraxis pretending any longer—he had been pretending to be asleep before, but he didn't expect Hampton to expose him.

Fraxis slowly opened his eyes, looking extremely helpless, and his voice was a bit hoarse: "Since you want to cooperate, can't you cooperate more, Knight Commander."

"That can't be done," Hampton brushed aside his blond hair that covered his collarbone with his fingers, stroked the delicate skin on the side of his neck slowly and meaningfully, and whispered, "It's better to let me do whatever I want than to be defenseless." Sleeping Beauty... I still prefer Mr. Noble who will secretly compete with me and is unwilling to admit defeat, I think you must understand why, right?"

Francis certainly understood why, and in his opinion, most of Hampton's entanglement with him for so long came from this reason.

"If you can put away your ubiquitous desire to conquer, maybe I will like you more." Fraxis supported himself on his elbows and sat up, letting his neck out of his control for a while, " Knight Commander, did you do this to other bed partners who pretended to be drunk and seduced you before? Just expose their little tricks and destroy the atmosphere created by the other party?"

"Oh, of course not."

Hampton smiled, and turned his gaze to his calf exposed by the action just now, "I have always been a very interesting person, as long as you want, I can make the atmosphere much better than it is now, let us have A good night...but before that, I want to know the reason for your abnormality today."

While speaking, he covered Fraxis' right ankle with his hand, and then held it gently but irresistibly, forming a gesture of confinement, "What happened in the past two days that made the You're such a proud man pretending to be drunk to seduce me? Make love to me now, what do you get? Emotional catharsis, or a good night's sleep?

"I think I'd rather know that than enjoy the psychological pleasure of having an orgasm and being conquered, Fracis."

This seemed to be the first time Hampton Brandon had taken his first name seriously.Fraxis suddenly thought that although the content of the conversation was like this, the tone of the other party was not so aggressive, it could even be called gentle, just like a dialogue between lovers.

Why are you doing this?So what do you get?he couldn't help thinking.

Wouldn't it be nice to ask no questions and be more sensible?What's the point of asking the bottom line like this without interest?

He closed his eyes with some headaches, thinking that it was a wrong decision for him to provoke Hampton: "...you will know later, maybe, but I don't want to say it now, okay?"

"Well, I was wrong." Hampton raised his eyebrows and let go of his ankle, "No matter what reason you don't tell me, this is your freedom, I have no right to interfere ,but……"

He deliberately lengthened the ending and paused for a long time.Hearing something wrong in his tone, Francis opened his eyes and looked at him.

"I have to say that I am still a little sad that I have not been able to gain your trust for such a long time." The knight reached out and pinched his chin, and half-forced him to kiss him. An out-and-out nobleman, it's really hard to be someone you trust, maybe it's not much easier than letting you admit defeat and beg for mercy, am I right?"

It was only then that Fraxis realized that Hampton had misinterpreted his meaning. He wanted to explain clearly to the other party, but found that he couldn't even make up a reason that could convince him in a short time.Although he wasn't drunk, those glasses of Highland ale also made his mind a little confused--

"Listen, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just..."

Is it just that I find this embarrassing?Confiding troubles and asking for help to others, this kind of weak person will do something that will shatter your ridiculous pride?These words were like a joke to him in the past, he never thought he would have such a mentality, but what made Fraxis feel even more frightening was that not only was he in such a state now, but also No matter which one of them, he found himself unable to speak.

Aware of his hesitation, Hampton smiled helplessly, then let go of his hands and stood up.

"Maybe what you need is to calm down." He said, "Flassis, you are really abnormal today. You are very different from the usual you. Since you don't want to tell me the reason, then I hope you Nothing can be done other than to get back to normal."

"..."

Francis lowered his eyes and did not speak.

He didn't know how to answer, because the real reason even felt ridiculous to himself.

Seeing that he didn't intend to reply, Hampton tidied up his clothes that were messed up in the action just now, and re-fastened the cuff buttons that he had untied before drinking. His attitude suddenly appeared distant and polite: "The wine is great, Thank you for your hospitality tonight."

He leaned over and pressed a kiss on the corner of Fraxis' lips, then touched Lilian's head who had come to the bedside at some point, and straightened up to leave.

"Wait." Francis called to him.

Hampton stopped and turned around.

"...If I can solve the problem after the ceremony, and you are still willing to listen, I will tell you." For some reason, Fraxis felt that his tone was inexplicably wrong, and he was a little at a loss when he realized this. But he insisted on finishing the sentence, "I don't distrust you."

The knight didn't react to his repeatedly emphasized words, but was silent for a while, and then said: "Then let's talk after the ceremony, good night."

He didn't stay any longer, and after saying good night, he closed the door and left.The room without one person immediately became quiet. Lilian, who was ignored, looked around, jumped onto the bed lightly, and licked Fraxis' hand flatteringly.For the time being, Fraxis didn't care about the problem of its hair loss, let it rub into his arms, scratched its chin, and felt that he was really abnormal.

It's like a child who was bullied by an adult, full of helplessness, didn't know what to do, but stubbornly tried to be brave, and wanted to prove that he was very strong.

Not only that, Hampton's loss of his "distrust" also made him inexplicably at a loss, and for a moment just now, he really had an impulse to put aside his ridiculous insistence, Tell each other everything.

If he really did that, maybe he would be much more relaxed now.

Fraxis had never found himself so conflicted.

Lilian snorted and flicked his arm lightly with her tail, as if dissatisfied with his distraction.Only now did Fraxis realize that he had been sitting on the bed in a daze for a while, and he couldn't help laughing at himself, and lay down on the bed again after turning off the lights.

Nothing was resolved, but his worries increased. It seemed that he would not be able to sleep again tonight.he thought helplessly.
