Further Adventures of Shang Pao & Da Wei 5 by Tauna ====== Shang Pao came around to throbbing in his back. He was stiff and sore. It took a moment for the memory to flood back. "Da Wei!" he was almost frantic. He tried to raise his shoulders but couldn't. Da Wei's hand reached out and grabbed his. "I'm here...I'm here." his lips brushed Shang Pao's knuckles, "Remember...You're in my house. We're in Macao. Its been two days. The men are fine. They've gone home. I let Li take care of everything." Shang Pao breathed a sigh of relief. "Two days?" "Yes. You were worse than I had first thought, but you're strong as an ox. You had me worried though. I've missed you." Da Wei's fingers trailed over him absently. "What have you done to occupy yourself?" Da We smiled at him. Shang Pao knew that smile and worried. Da Wei had been thinking. "Oh just a few things..." He carefully checked Shang Pao's back. It looked as though the splinters were all gone. He kissed the back of Shang Pao's neck. "But you're not well enough for me to go into detail... yet" He licked his lips and patted Shang Pao's bottom. "Go back to sleep." Shang Pao smiled and obeyed. ====== Shang Pao propped himself up on his elbow. He had been up for several hours and was feeling better. His back itched. He did like the silk sheets. They felt nice, but he had spent entirely too much time in them over the last two weeks. His ordeal with Cheng was worse than at first it seemed. He had been beaten before, but the violence of Cheng's attack was far different than the detached, methodical punishments of the Emperor's officials. It seemed almost personal to him, as if Cheng were punishing him for something. And punishing him not simply because he had refused his advances, but something more. Da Wei knew, but he had the feeling he wasn't going to get an explaination without a fight. His eyes roamed around and he spotted Da Wei fussing with the servants. He grinned to himself. Da Wei certainly liked being in charge. "I'm starving." he said rather loudly. Da Wei turned to him and raised an eyebrow. He snapped his finger and a servant appeared at his side. He sent her off at a run. Da Wei sashayed over to the bed and ran his hand up Shang Pao's leg. "Feeling better are we?" "Much. Help me up will you?" Da Wei's eyes narrowed slightly and he smiled. "Gladly." One hand gripped Shang Pao's hip, the other shot forward. Shang Pao intercepted his wrist and flipped him into the bed. Da Wei knelt down next to him. "I'd say you were feeling better." He leaned forward and kissed him. ====== The girl brought in a large tray of food. Da Wei had her set it on a table next to the bed and sent her away. A large bowl of rice vanished almost immediately. Da Wei smacked his hand and took the chopsticks away. "We eat like civilized people here." Shang Pao stuck his lip out and looked as pitiful as possible. Da Wei sat behind Shang Pao, who fidgeted in his lap. Da Wei propped him up on his chest. He steadied Shang Pao, who was still a bit wobbly. When he was comfortably settled in his arms, Da Wei picked up a bowl of soup, fished the spoon out and blew on the hot liquid. He held the spoon in front of Shang Pao's lips. He reached for the spoon, but the swift raising of Da Wei's eyebrow stopped him. He grinned a bit, then obediently opened his mouth. He quickly slurped the whole thing. He then sat with his mouth open waiting for the next piece. Da Wei chose a delicate chicken dish. He put several choice pieces on another dish of rice and popped one into Shang Pao's mouth. He chewed with gusto. "One for you, one for me..." Da Wei had some himself. When that was gone, they started on another. After the third dish, their eyes didn't move from one another. Da Wei just reached for things on the table. His nimble fingers found a fresh orange. He shredded the skin from it as if tearing through fabric. The smell drifted up and made Shang Pao's mouth water. "Oh look, I've dropped a piece..." A section landed on Shang Pao's chest with a small plop. He began to giggle. Da Wei slurped the orange section up. His tongue tickled. He held the section in his lips and passed it to Shang Pao, who bit into it, sending juice over their lips and down both their chins. Shang Pao's tongue snaked over Da Wei's chin, cleaning off the juice. "Good orange." Shang Pao smacked his lips. Da Wei shoved another section into his mouth. Shang Pao grabbed the intruding fingertip with his lips. He let it go slowly. He rolled the section around in his mouth. When he crunched into it, he let the juice well over his lips. Da Wei grinned, dimples popping. He leaned forward and licked up all the juice. Their lips brushed. He took another section in his teeth and crushed it over Shang Pao's chest. The drops tickled as they landed on his bare skin. He giggled again. Da Wei's tongue followed the rivulets. "It tastes good on you. I'll bet this is even better though... " Da Wei drizzled malt sugar over Shang Pao's lips and chin. He slurped up the thick syrup. Their lips slipped over each other. Da Wei sucked in Shang Pao's lower lip. Shang Pao started breathing more heavily. He grabbed Da Wei's arm and pulled him around until they faced one another. He looked deeply into Da Wei's eyes. He saw relief and happiness. He smiled brilliantly, all teeth and exuberance. His fingers plucked at Da Wei's clothes. He slapped at Shang Pao's hand. Shang Pao smiled evilly and smeared a good handful of the syrup all over Da Wei's silk. "Oh look, you have sugar all over you..." he said in the most innocent manner possible. "Well then, I'll just have to go bathe then..." "Ahhh I'll help you!" He wrestled Da Wei to the bed, prying him out of the sugar coated garments. It didn't take long before he was in the same state as Shang Pao. "This'll be beter than bathing..." Starting just below Da Wei's navel, he began to slurp up the syrup. He traveled up over Da Wei's stomach and ribs. While Shang Pao's teeth scraped his nipple clean, Da Wei grabbed his hand and sucked the residue from his fingers. Shang Pao would not be distracted. He liked the taste of the sugar on Da Wei's skin. His tongue ran back down Da Wei's abdomen and tickled his navel. His lips slid over Da Wei's hip and down his thigh. He sucked the sugar from the chewy inner portion, then worked his way a little further up. Sparkles danced up his arm from Da Wei's tongue on his palm. He let out a sigh and rested his cheek on Da Wei's hip, enjoying the feel of the sticky sugar and Da Wei's mouth. His eyes popped open when something hit him on the nose. He smiled then ran his tongue over the tip. He heard a gasp and Da Wei let go of his fingers. He slid his hands under Da Wei for a better grip, but he started out a little rough. "Aiya! no teeth!" a hand came down sharply on Shang Pao's behind. When he shifted to get out of the way, he felt Da Wei slide under him. Then he felt familiar lips wrap themselves around him. Da Wei teased mercilessly. Shang Pao had learned a few tricks of his own and teased back. He had caught on fast. Da Wei succumbed to his quick tongue. Finally he couldn't hold out anymore. He let go of Shang Pao and let his head fall back, gasping for breath. Shang Pao coughed and spit as Da Wei took a chunk out of his thigh. "OW!" Da Wei chuckled and went back to teasing Shang Pao, who retaliated by running his lips over a freshly sensitive spot. Da Wei's hand came down sharply on Shang Pao's behind, again... Da Wei stopped teasing and went to work in earnest. He firmly gripped Shang Pao's hips and rolled him onto his back, without breaking his motion. Shang Pao groaned. Da Wei liked it when he made noise. He made him make even more. ====== Shang Pao stretched on the verandah. He wasn't as stiff in the joints as he thought he would be. His shoulders moved fluidly and there was no more pain in his back. He moved through his warm up quickly. He smiled to himself. Da Wei was certainly keeping him limber... But he started thinking over what had been happening. He didn't think Da Wei really wanted to sail with him, Lei was angry that there was a Da Wei at all and then there was the whole question of Da Wei's past. He wanted to know who the man was that had tortured him, but he found himself afraid to actually ask. The more he thought about things, the more confused he became. He realized that he didn't want to leave Da Wei at all, even if that meant giving up pirating. But he had a home of his own and other obligations. The more confused he got, the harder he worked. ====== Da Wei stretched leisurely. He heard Shang Pao outside. He rolled onto his stomach and looked out at him. He looked as good as new. Da Wei just lay there and enjoyed the sights for a bit. ====== When Shang Pao wiped the sweat from his eyes, he saw Da Wei flutter onto the verandah in his gauze shirt. It was miles to big for him, but he looked good in it anyway. Shang Pao began to stand but Da Wei put a hand on his shoulder and prevented him. "No, No, Stay right where you are." Da Wei walked behind and ran his hands over Shang Pao's back. "That looks much better." Da Wei drew his fingers across the nearly healed scars. He started to massage Shang Pao's neck. he marveled at the muscles under his fingertips. Shang Pao sat back on his heels and exhaled, letting his shoulders droop. Da Wei slid his hands down Shang Pao's arms, pulling them back a bit. His hands then slid over Shang Pao's muscular chest. He relaxed under Da Wei's hands. Da Wei saw his opportunity and took it. He quickly untied the ribband from his wrist and lightly wrapped it around Shang Pao's eyes. He jumped. Da Wei held him firmly. He pulled a feather from his other sleeve and drew it down Shang Pao's back. He shivered. Da Wei liked how his muscles rippled in the feather's trail. He drew the tip of the feather up Shang Pao's spine and across his jaw. Shang Pao shivered all over and gasped. "How does that feel?" Da Wei whispered, his lips did not quite touch Shang Pao's ear. Da Wei grinned to himself. He ran the feather over the whole of Shang Pao's body. It almost didn't touch. By the time he was done, Shang Pao's skin was flushed and quivering. His head lolled back and he was breathing shallowly. His lips parted and a long sigh escaped from them. They looked so inviting that Da Wei had to taste them. Shang Pao's skin was humming, he practically jumped out of it at the touch of Da Wei's lips. "Ahhh, I see you like that. Maybe we'll do it again." Da Wei pulled the ribband and let it drag across Shang Pao's already sensitive flesh. He caught it and watched Da Wei sashay back into the bedroom. "You should get ready, it's time for breakfast." Shang Pao stared with his mouth hanging open. =======
