Work Text:

One day, while scrolling through the endless social media feed, Lu Guang came across a post with intriguing photoshoot. In the pictures half-naked girls were immobilized with a bright red rope. It looked vulgar but not licentious. Just slightly erotic. Beauty, grace, highlights... a real piece of art.

Lu Guang was so engrossed in the scenes that he completely ignored Cheng Xiaoshi’s glare.

"Lu Guang, are you listening to me?”

The man instantly turned off the phone and looked up when he heard lover’s voice.

“What were you looking at with your mouth open?"  Cheng Xiaoshi peered at the other's screen. "Let me see!"

“Nothing,” Lu Guang smiled slyly, lifting the young man's face by the chin.

"Lu Guang!!!”

Cheng Xiaoshi sulked, but despite all the threats, Lu Guang didn't tell his secret. The accident was forgotten, and the day went on as usual. However, those photos were engraved in Lu Guang's mind. They left such an indelible impression that he wanted to see them again. Unable to let go charming images, he found the post and saved all the pictures.

They etched into his memory forever. Nevertheless, each time he entered the gallery, he never missed a moment to admire them. Over time, his creative vision noticed flaws: the pictures were too dark, the composition is lame, the poses are too restrained (which is surprisingly odd looking for such theme). All imperfections marred the idea. The only thing that was undeniably impeccable was the bondage.

Suffering from insomnia Lu Guang once again looked at the familiar pictures. The intricate pattern was mesmerizing with its complexity. He wanted to understand it and recreate to perfection. The young man fixed on that goal. There was a charming model, but the skill...

The lone phone screen light shone incessantly in the darkness of the night. Lu Guang, inspired by the creative impulse, greedily absorbed knowledge to the sound of snores beside.

***

The courier knocked urgently on the studio door. Despite the loud rumble, no one answered.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"  Cheng Xiaoshi huffed as he walked out of the dark room. “Is there no one else beside me who can open the door?!”

He retorted out loud, trying to get his roommate's attention. In the end, the front door was opened, and the parcel was successfully handed over. Cheng Xiaoshi examined the box, shook it, and then checked the recipient's details.

"Lu Guang, your junk arrived.”

He notified while shaking the package. There were hurried footsteps on the stairs. After going down to the first floor, Lu Guang ran up to his partner and snatched the item away.

"What’s that?"

"You said it yourself," the man said, walking away. “A junk.”

"Eh? Lu Guang!”  Cheng Xiaoshi called out. "Excuse me?"

Lu Guang clicked his tongue, turned around, and walked right up to his beloved, pulling him down by the collar.

“I’m grateful for taking my parcel so generously,” the young man left a loud smooch on the cheek. "Now get back to work and don’t disturb me."

Cheng Xiaoshi returned to the dark room with a satisfied grin when Lu Guang disappeared behind the bedroom door.

***

After the work was finished and dinner was ready Cheng Xiaoshi, as a loved housewife, decided to visit his boyfriend. He pushed the bedroom door. No matter how seductively he stood in the doorway, there was no eyes on him. The young man walked up behind Lu Guang and gave him a hug.

“Are you done with the excel tables?

“I've done them long time ago."

“Then why didn’t you come down?"

“I'm discussing a new case with Qiao Ling”

Lu Guang replied dryly as he typed on his laptop. Cheng Xiaoshi scanned the room for new items.

“What did you get?"

"Nothing interesting.”

“So uninteresting that you hid it, huh?"

A hand ruffled white hair, but there was no response. Lu Guang kept looking busy, but Cheng Xiaoshi saw right through him.

“Guang-Guang, you’re always so careful,” he purrs in his lover's ear. “But you've failed this time. Did the parcel arrive too early?

The young man’s fingers stopped. Cheng Xiaoshi clenched his arms threateningly.

"Tell me what you spent our hard-earned money on."

"I'll tell later," Lu Guang hissed calmly as his partner choked him.

Intriguing. Okay, you’re free now," the man loosened his grip. “When will you tell me then?"

“Cheng Xiaoshi.”

“Okay, okay. Wrap up and let's have dinner.”

Cheng Xiaoshi let go of Lu Guang and was already heading for the exit, but then turned around suddenly.

"Is this a gift?"

"Cheng Xiaoshi!”

***

Cheng Xiaoshi thought a lot about what Lu Guang had bought. There were no special dates in the nearest future, and spontaneous gifts weren't his partner’s style. Was it something intimate? Then it’s even more mysterious. The contents of the box were too heavy for lingerie and too light for a toy. About the parcel Lu Guang always replied shortly.

“I'm not ready yet."

But one day, that day finally arrived...

***

It seemed like an ordinary weekend. A morning that was no different from any other. All the usualness vanished as Lu Guang calmly asked:

“Do you know what shibari is?"

Cheng Xiaoshi turned to his boyfriend who was washing up after breakfast as always.

"Like with rope and stuff? Yeah, I know.”

“How do you feel about that?"

Catching the tone of the conversation the man cheered up. He was silent for a couple of minutes, as if thinking about something, and then answered, playfully twirling a black curl around his finger.

“Positive. Extremely positive.”

“Good.”

Lu Guang placed the clean dishes while his lover sat waiting. The cherished offer was never made, but all the puzzles came together.

“You bought the rope first and then asked for my opinion?"

“I knew you wouldn't mind.”

"You know me well," Cheng Xiaoshi grinned. “Does that mean you're finally 'ready'?"

Lu Guang rinsed out the last glass, turned off the water, and began to dry his hands. “At least, we should try.”

They headed for the second floor. Cheng Xiaoshi was excited, however, his partner's eyes didn't show the same amount of enthusiasm. It took a lot of effort for Lu Guang to prepare and instead of being elated, he felt anxious. They went into the bedroom and the door slammed shut. Cheng Xiaoshi didn't hesitate to pull up his shirt. Lu Guang walked past him, patting him on the shoulder.

"Keep it.”

“Why?”

"That’s only a training," the young man replied, rummaging through his personal belongings. “We have zero experience, so let's not get ahead of ourselves.”

“Or you're just afraid that my body will distract you."

Lu Guang gave him a reproachful glare.

"Sit."

Cheng Xiaoshi crossed his arms but obeyed. The boys sat down on the bed, with a pair of scissors and a few pieces of rope spread out between them. Lu Guang took a deep breath, cupping his palms together. He was about to start his opening speech when he was interrupted.

"I thought the shibari ropes were different," Cheng Xiaoshi said touching the props.

The young man fiddled with the rope for a long time before Lu Guang took his hands and spoke.

"Cheng Xiaoshi, as you understand..." the voice was full of tenderness "Shibari is a very traumatic practice that requires complete trust and safety...”

“Can we skip that and get straight to the point?"

The man was already burning with impatience, so he didn't need briefing. Lu Guang let out a resigned sigh and kissed his partner's hands. Despite Cheng Xiaoshi's obvious haste, he still decided to explain the basics.

“If you feel uncomfortable, let me know right away, and I'll cut the ropes."

“I can bare it.”

“No. I’ve only practiced on inanimate objects, so any feedback is important to me.”

“What objects did you tie up?"

“Well, when you weren't around, I used pillows.”

"Wait, wait, wait," Cheng Xiaoshi waved his hands, "are you telling me that while I strained myself, you were tying up our poor innocent pillows? 

“I needed to learn how to tie knots, you know."

“Do you think I'm a bad practice material?!” the man grabbed a pillow behind him and held it. “You chose this over me? Am I worse?!”

“Oh, my God,” Lu Guang rolled his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "You idiot, it was for your own good," he tossed the object away. “I specifically decided to learn the basics so I wouldn't have to bother you trying to tie one simple thing."

"Yes, but you-"

"Now. I'm asking you to be my practice material now. It doesn't matter what I used before. I love you, and I do everything for you.”

"Fine," Xiaoshi smiled maliciously. “Where do you want to start?"

Lu Guang looked at the body in front of him thoughtfully, and then ran hand over the forearms, stretching them out.

"Hold them.”

Cheng Xiaoshi followed the instructions while his lover opened the binding scheme on his phone. Curious eyes stared at the screen.

“Isn't it too easy for you?"

“I'm still learning.”

"Maybe, but I believe in your potential.”

The young man looked at his partner and smiled.

"We will see how it goes.”

The rope gradually covered his hands, and Cheng Xiaoshi watched its every move. Lu Guang stopped abruptly before tying the first knot.

"Is it tight?"

“No.”

The young man frowned. He pulled at one of the ropes with his index finger, and there was a reddening mark underneath. Lu Guang immediately loosened the bondage.

“Quit it. I can see it’s overstretched.”

"Oh, come on, it’s not that much.”

"Not that much," he mutters, "if I clamp off your arteries for too long, you might lose limbs."

“I know you won't hurt me.”

“To not hurt you I need to know exactly how you feel!"

His partner's light-hearted tone caused Lu Guang to raise his voice sharply. Despite the anger from the lover, Cheng Xiaoshi remained calm. He leaned a little closer, resting his forehead on the other's shoulder.

“Don't be mad at me, Guang-Guang. I won't do it again.”

Lu Guang sighed and began his carefully prepared speech.

“Shibari must be performed delicately, mistakes can lead to injuries. The whole practice is based on the trust, and if there is none, then no one will get pleasure. To succeed it is very important to hear each other. We'll continue if you promise to let me know what you're feeling so I can adjust. Do you understand?"

Cheng Xiaoshi nodded his head diligently with a big smile. He raised his wrists up.

"Now I deserve to be tied up?"

There was no understanding in the boy's eyes, but he was still willing to be a test subject. Despite the absurdity Lu Guang couldn't help but smile.

“Now you deserve to be strangled.”

“I don't care if it's you.”

“Moron.”

Cheng Xiaoshi held out his hands, prompting action. The rope is re-wrapped around his arms.

"Too weak," he remarked, testing the bondage. “Don't worry, you can make it a little tighter, it won't kill me."

Satisfied with his partner's initiative, Lu Guang boldly tightens the knot. The bondage was tight, but it didn't dig into the skin.

"How do you feel?"

“Great.”

"Then let's move on.”

Gradually, the row of ropes rose to the elbows. Reliable knots did not allow to pull hands, which caused thrill. Lu Guang crawled up behind his boyfriend and hugged him. Palms ran over the chest, feeling the rapid heartbeat inside.

“Are you nervous?"

"Just a little.”

"Should I stop?"

"No," voice trembled treacherously, "I know I'm not in danger, it’s just my body can’t believe it.”

“Alright.”

Hot lips kissed shoulders, and goose bumps ran down the spine. Fingertips traced the ropes. It didn't look as neat as Lu Guang would like, but it was a great result for the first time. Although he used simple scheme, it still looked like a clever tangle of knots. Encouraged young man took the second piece of rope.

"Can I try on your legs?"

His model nodded silently, and Lu Guang gently laid him on the back. He settled between the man’s legs, bending one of them at the knee. As Lu Guang diligently studied the manual, his partner was burning with embarrassment. Even though they were both dressed, it didn't help Cheng Xiaoshi. His hands were already tied, and he felt even more vulnerable in such position, but this despair gave him a sick pleasure in its own way.

The young man carefully watched as Lu Guang tied the knots on him. There was no doubt about his lover's beauty, but at such a special moment, his focused face seemed even more attractive than usual. A serious look, frowning brows... Cheng Xiaoshi bit his lower lip impatiently. The situation was made worse by the fact that the other's knee involuntarily rubbed against his groin, provoking the man even more. If it wasn't for his body being completely dominated by Lu Guang, he would have immediately pounced on him.

"I'm horny," Cheng Xiaoshi blurted out.

The statement was so unexpected that Lu Guang paused for a second, looking at his partner with bewilderment.

“What? You said to let you know what I’m feeling.”

The man rolled his eyes and continued, ignoring Xiaoshi's words. When Lu Guang finished one leg, he moved on to the next. While waiting, Cheng Xiaoshi had already been disappointed in shibari several times. He was so bored that he had already lost all the passion but seeing how his beloved pored over every bend of the rope, honing his skills, he waited. Even though the preparation was long and painful, Cheng Xiaoshi was with his boyfriend.

When Lu Guang finished, he slowly ran his palm over bounded areas, feeling the perfect contrast between the tough rope texture and tender flesh. The smooth touch made Cheng Xiaoshi's head spin again.

“Is it comfortable?"  Lu Guang whispered.

Cheng Xiaoshi couldn't move, and his limbs were tied. Although his survival instinct kicked and made his body tremble, he felt safe.

“Oddly enough, I'm as calm as I've ever been.”

“You're compliant this way," Lu Guang leaned the cheek against his partner's thigh. “I would never ever untie you."

"Oh, really?"  Cheng Xiaoshi gave an evil grin. “Do you like it?"

“I still need to work on the technique, but overall I am satisfied.

“I'm not talking about shibari, I'm talking about myself in it.”

"You're always handsome," Lu Guang leaned over to kiss his lover on the lips. “Did you enjoy?"

The sudden question threw Cheng Xiaoshi off balance.

"Wait, that’s it?"

“What?”

“Isn't shibari some kind of a sex thing?"

"Shibari isn't about sex. It's an art,” the man sat down again between the man's legs, stroking the ropes on his thighs. “Perhaps this process has intimate hint, yet first of all shibari is about trust.”

Lu Guang described the essence of the practice in a heartfelt way, however, Cheng Xiaoshi was not impressed. It’s completely opposite.

“It's not what I expected.”

“What did you expect?"

"Sex, at least. Rough, perverted sex at most.”

Lu Guang fell silent in confusion. Cheng Xiaoshi started to playfully whine, blowing his lips.

“This body expected to be petted first, then torn to shreds and wrung dry!"

"I'm sorry," the young man said bitterly, untying his partner's hands. "It's my fault, I didn't discuss it at the beginning.”

“No, no, no!” Xiaoshi protested. “It's my fault too for not asking, and I shut you up when you tried to tell me about it!"

Without answering any excuses Lu Guang continued to remove the ropes. He sincerely regretted that he had disappointed his loved one in such a despicable way. And it was incredibly painful for Cheng Xiaoshi to see the longing in his lover's eyes.

"Guang-Guang," he whimpered. “I'm not mad. We are new to these things, that’s fine.”

When Cheng Xiaoshi was able to move freely again, Lu Guang threw all the ropes aside and lay down on the man's chest, and he welcomed him into his arms. Long fingers dug into snow-white hair, massaging the crow of the head.

“Are you upset?"

The young man grunted something in reply.

"Come on, I didn't mean it.”

"I'm an idiot.”

“Aw, Guang-Guang,” Cheng Xiaoshi squeezed his lover's cheeks and kissed his face. “I really enjoyed this. It’s true! It was awkward, but I'm glad even without the happy ending.”

Running away from the cute aggression, Lu Guang slid off Xiaoshi's chest onto the mattress and huddled against the wall. Cheng Xiaoshi lightly scratched his back, drawing attention to himself, and in the end, it worked. After a while, the man turned to face him.

“Did you really like it?"

“Sure. I'd love to be your test subject for your sinful fantasies from now on.”

"I'm glad.” Lu Guang smiled warmly.

Sensing the change in his partner's mood, Cheng Xiaoshi immediately snuggled closer to him. Lu Guang began to stretch his wrists.

“I was thinking of trying something else, but your body has already been through enough.”

“Why not? Do whatever you want, I can handle it.”

"As much as I'd like to, I can't keep you tied up forever," hot lips leave kisses on the reddened marks. “Over time, the ropes will burn against the skin. Besides, a shackled position will be bad for your body.”

“You're so caring. Can we do it again tomorrow?”

Lu Guang held the other's hands close to him as he kept rubbing the skin.

"You'll probably have bruises tomorrow. It's going to hurt.”

“So what? We had fun.”

The men laughed, then fell silent. They lied together in each other’s arms and savored the moment. The two hearts beat in unison. They still had a full day off and nothing else to do. A whole day just for the two of them.

"When I first started talking about shibari, you didn't hesitate for a second," Lu Guang suddenly began, breaking the silence. “Why?”

“I simply love you. Is it not enough?”

“I know, but still why?"

"You always guide me, and I know that you wish me well, so I’m not afraid to give in," Cheng Xiaoshi replied with a satisfied grin, and then added affectionately, "After all, I trust you."

“Thank you,” Lu Guang hugged his lover tightly. “It means a lot to me.”

“And why are you interested in this stuff?"

“Let's just say...” the man thought before giving a clear answer. “I have big plans.”

***

Gradually, Lu Guang honed his binding skill. Thanks to the flexibility of his partner, he was able to try out schemes of all complexity levels and pretentiousness, studying the nuances of such a subtle art. In the end, the man reached perfection. No matter what idea Lu Guang had, he was always satisfied with the work.

Cheng Xiaoshi was shocked with his partner's new passion, but he was open to experiments. Over time, he even became imbued with Lu Guang's philosophy and shared the idea that shibari is a high art that is built on harmony between the participants. Unexpected fetishes brought them even closer together – each binding became quiet secret of two madly in love people. Submission and bondage were always accompanied by care and affection.

However, later, when all sorts of techniques were already learned, Lu Guang began to conduct shibari sessions not to try something new, but to teach a lesson to annoying pain in his ass...

***

Bright sun rays illuminated the living room, and Lu Guang was sitting comfortably in a chair with a fresh cup of coffee in his hands. He took a sip, still scrolling through his phone.

"Guang-Guang..." whimpered Cheng Xiaoshi. “I promise I won't do that again."

“You said that last time.”

"Lu Guang!!!”

Cheng Xiaoshi was lying face down on the sofa next to him. Hands tied tightly behind his back, and a rope was outstretched from the knot at the wrist to ankles. From the outside, the pose did not look very comfortable, nevertheless, comfortable conditions were created specifically for the prisoner: he lay on pillows, and the bondage securely fixed his body so muscles could not strain.

"Come on, it didn't affect the present!"

Cheng Xiaoshi cried as Lu Guang continued to drink his coffee casually.

“How would you know?"

“I just ate one cookie, not killed anyone?"  the young man shouted.

"You were supposed to eat two," Lu Guang said calmly, despite his partner's tantrum, "and you ate the whole plate."

"No one died, so what's the difference!?”

Cheng Xiaoshi gave up and buried his face in the pillow. After five minutes of silence, Lu Guang took pity on him, reached out and ruffled his hair.

“The butterfly effect is unpredictable, even such a small thing can be fatal.”

“My ribs hurt."

Taking advantage of his lover's weakness, Cheng Xiaoshi began to complain. And it worked, as always. Lu Guang put everything aside to untie his captive.

“Don't rob our clients next time.”

As soon as Cheng Xiaoshi was released from the shackles, he immediately sat down on his boyfriend's lap. This was his favorite part: after being tied up, Lu Guang was always especially gentle. He kissed his body and massaged sore skin.

“You know, I liked one idea for a photo shoot.”

The man picked up his phone and opened familiar photos from the gallery. Cheng Xiaoshi flipped through all the images.

“I think I saw them once in my feed.”

“Do you like it?"

"Not bad.”

“I thought… We could repeat them."

His partner immediately picked up the idea with an ingratiating smirk.

“Is this the mysterious plan that made you start learning all this shibari thing?"

"Maybe.”

Cheng Xiaoshi seized Lu Guang's head and began to aggressively ruffle his hair.

"Sneaky Guang-Guang was up to something again and didn't want to tell his beloved man anything until the very end! You should be ashamed of yourself!”

The young man just laughed, snuggling closer to his lover.

"Okay, I agree, I behaved badly.”

“I should learn shibari too so I can punish you whenever I want. I think you'll look really cute with your hands tied.”

"Oh, no," Cheng Xiaoshi was displeased with Lu Guang's answer and tickled him until he cracked. "Fine, I'll think about it!”

"Good boy.”

“So are you going to be my model?"

"Hmm," the man mused, looking away, "I think I'll find a day to be an inspiring muse specially for an asshole like you."

“Thanks.”

***

The work was painstaking and long. Lu Guang was determined to use different schemes to have diversity in photos. The man specially chose a clear day so that there was live lighting during the shooting, bought bright red ropes in advance and selected the best poses. In the end, the day that Lu Guang had been waiting for so anxiously started.

He tightened the last knot.

“Make sure it’s comfortable, this part will remain unchanged.”

Cheng Xiaoshi reached out in different directions and felt the bondage. The intricate scarlet pattern covered his bare thighs, waist, and highlighted chest.

"Ah, if only I had massive boobs, it would look even more spectacular."

“You look fine the way you are."

Lu Guang brushed the black hair out of lover’s face and gave him a peck on the cheek as he looked at himself in the bedroom mirror.

"My goodness, Guang-Guang, I look like the most dissolute sinner in the world. Is this how you've been wanting to see me all this time?"

"It's beautiful," the man murmured, running his fingertips over his model's rib cage.

“I get it. Still, admit that you are a pervert.”

"Which one of us is the pervert here?"  Lu Guang chuckled. "Isn’t this coming from the man who agreed to be tied up, wagging his tail happily? You're an even more obsessed idiot than I am.”

“Yes, but I'm an idiot that obsessed with you and I respect everything you do, so how could I not agree to your dirty antics?"

"They're not dirty," the young man nudged his partner. “This is an ancient art that-“

"I know, I know, you don't have to start," Cheng Xiaoshi interrupted. "You are no fun, Lu Guang. Absolutely no fun.”

After that, the men went down to the living room for the final preparation. Lu Guang arranged the background for the photo and tied up Cheng Xiaoshi in the same place. His model was on his knees, hands locked behind, elbow raised up. Lu Guang looked at the camera. The scene looked exactly as he had imagined: perfect knots, smooth lines, and a glamorous model in the sun. The young man was delighted.

After taking a few shots from different angles, Lu Guang changed the model's position and posture a few more times. Filming dragged on, and the sun began to set below the horizon. The man reviewed the results. The photos were perfect, but something was missing. Something very important...

Lu Guang looked around, the living room was filled with scarlet color. Burning sunset gave the final idea to complete the grand photo shoot.

“Aren't you tired yet?"

“Perhaps.”

“I want to take one last photo."

Cheng Xiaoshi agreed. Lu Guang pulled out the coffee table in front of the sofa and laid the man on the carpet as he wouldn't put his lover's bare back against the cold tile. Legs spread apart, arms and legs tied. Sitting on the man, Lu Guang pointed the camera down.

“Is something wrong? Should I turn my head or smile? Xiaoshi asked when he didn't hear the camera shutter.

The frame was missing a couple of things. Lu Guang put down the camera and pulled the man into a passionate kiss. Mess and sloppy. Then he pulled back, sliding wet lips to the neck. Cheng Xiaoshi tilts his head back in submission. The body is covered with fresh bites, the hands gently stroked the sides, causing a reaction.

Lu Guang looked back at his “canvas”: the exasperated boy was breathing heavily, a wet gloss on his lips, red hickeys becoming a bright color accent on his fair skin. The model was ready. The young man took the camera. Cheng Xiaoshi turned away in shame, but Lu Guang immediately took him by the chin, forcing to look at the camera.

Click. Another one, and another, and another...

After taking several shots at a time, he immediately scanned the result and compared with the images in daylight. Although the main features of the original photo shoot were preserved – half-naked model, warm lighting, the bondage – Lu Guang’s spontaneous intent looked much better.

Images that copied the source looked fake. An empty beautiful shell. However, in the last shots, it was felt that the main person is not a random girl, but Cheng Xiaoshi. The man Lu Guang loves and adores with all his heart.

The disheveled appearance, the teeth marks, the overwhelming need in the eyes – all these were details that showed the photographer's true feelings for his muse. That's what he needed so much.

“We’ve done?"

Cheng Xiaoshi spoke up, still tied up under Lu Guang. He began to worry when ambiguous expression on his lover's face appeared.

"Lu Guang, I don't like the look you have.”

The young man couldn't look away. The much-desired result that he had been dreaming of was finally achieved, and it exceeded all expectations. It was his personal masterpiece. A lovely face in a combination of ropes that make out the curves of a favorite body. Due to Cheng Xiaoshi's presence in the photos, they no longer exuded a pure aesthetic. There was debauchery, the most irrepressible lust ever existed. Lu Guang's face twisted into a predatory smile.

"Guang-Guang?"  Cheng Xiaoshi called out once again.

Lu Guang puts the camera down and pulls his partner into another long hungry kiss.

"I want you," Lu Guang whispered between short breaths, "God, you have no idea how much I want you."

After savouring the lips he slipped down to the chest. Cheng Xiaoshi laughed, sighing with each bite.

“So what happened to 'shibari is an art'?"

“You are my piece of art.”

His hands roamed erratically over Xiaoshi’s body, clinging to the ropes. Lu Guang desperately wanted to mark the whole body and claim it. He abruptly pulled away and got to his feet.

"Wait here," the man stumbled into the bedroom, leaving Cheng Xiaoshi tied up behind.

“To where do you think I'll go?!"

He fidgeted, trying to break the bonds. Fortunately, the partner quickly returned, bringing a bottle of lube with him.

"Condoms?"

"It's all right, the carpet should have been washed long ago.”

Lu Guang sat back down between the man's spread legs and immediately tried to pull off the underwear. However, the ropes that had aroused him so much became an obstacle. Without hesitation, he grabbed scissors from the table and cut through the bondage. Cheng Xiaoshi was taken aback by his partner's rush.

“Are the photos turned out that good?" he asked.

"They're flawless. Impeccable. Perfect, just like you.”

His fingers tugged on the elastic band of the pants, and Cheng Xiaoshi instantly lost one and only piece of clothing he had . Startled, he tried to cross legs to hide his erection, but Lu Guang stopped him from doing so. Cheng Xiaoshi was helpless. His lover glared at him hungrily, like a predator that would swallow him alive at any second.

“Am I really going to have my long-awaited rough, perverted sex?"  Cheng Xiaoshi chuckled.

Lu Guang silently took off his shirt and clung to his partner's body again. He fumbled across everywhere, leaving scratches. Because of the frequent touching, the bondage loosened up. Skin areas between the ropes were covered with bruises that descended lower and lower. Cheng Xiaoshi trembled, ragged gasps escaping from his lips.

After taking a good look at his partner's entire body, Lu Guang took the lube and squeezed some out of the bottle. He lightly smeared the liquid around the entrance before inserting his finger. The young man shivered at the cold and squeezed his eyes shut. Lu Guang stretched the tender flesh with unhurried movements. The number of fingers increased.

The interminable foreplay made Cheng Xiaoshi lose his temper, and he kept twitching his hips, wanting to speed up. The movements became sharper, but it wasn't what he wanted. The man opened his eyes and saw the lover who was closely watching every expression on his face. Cheng Xiaoshi's cheeks were flushed, and he couldn't take it anymore.

"Stop staring.”

“I'm waiting for you to beg me."

“What? You need it more than anyone.”

In response to audacity Lu Guang stopped abruptly, causing Cheng Xiaoshi to let out a frustrated sob.

“I'd mind my words if I were you."

"Freak.”

The man was cornered. He swallowed back the accumulated saliva and looked at his tormentor with a pitiful look.

"Guang-Guang, please stop bullying me. I want you so badly, look what you've done to me.”

A grim, satisfied smirk spread across his partner's face. Cheng Xiaoshi's stomach churned. Lu Guang unzipped his fly, pulled down pants and underwear, then poured some lube on his cock, rubbing it all over the length. As soon as he entered Xiaoshi, the last shred of sanity immediately crumbled to dust. Lu Guang felt a hot, enveloping gut and completely lost control.

Cheng Xiaoshi gasped as his partner immediately began to move. He felt a bit of discomfortable, but not much to stop the madness from happening. Lu Guang was never rude, even when irritated. However, such a drastic change in behavior was pleasantly surprising. The sharp jolts knocked the air out of the lungs. The rope chafed against the skin. Pain mixed with pleasure.

“You were right, I am a pervert. The craziest pervert alive, " Lu Guang muttered breathlessly.

He wrapped his arms around the other’s broad shoulders, his pace quickening. The deeper the cock penetrated, the more Cheng Xiaoshi could feel his insides shaking. At that moment, he really wanted to touch his lover in return, to hold him... he sincerely regretted that his hands were bonded. A hand buried itself in the black hair, tugging at the ponytail. The man instinctively lifted his head. The teeth bit into his shoulder.

Hearing the moans turn to sobs, Lu Guang regained his senses and slowed down. Cheng Xiaoshi's eyes were dripping with tears, and he looked exhausted.

"Did I hurt you?"  the young man panicked and started to wipe the reddened cheeks. "I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me.”

The lover shook his head.

“No, please don't stop. I like it.”

Lu Guang obeyed, kissed him on the forehead, and continued. Trust became more chaotic. Cheng Xiaoshi's body tensed in anticipation of release as his cock rubbed against his partner's stomach. The young man squirmed, biting his lip.

“I can't take it anymore..."

Lu Guang buried his face in the crook of Xiaoshi's neck, starting to move in quick jerks. The closeness was maddening.

"Lu Guang... Lu Guang-!

The pleading voice of his lover threw the man off balance again. He grabbed Cheng Xiaoshi's knees and pressed them against his torso, making him groan even louder. The penis began to press harder on the prostate, bringing the orgasm closer. A couple more thrusts and men reached the peak at the same time, breathing a sigh of relief.

Lu Guang collapsed limply on Cheng Xiaoshi's chest. Heavy breaths in the air. The room had long since fallen into twilight. Lu Guang wanted to go straight to bed and pass out until morning. But imagining Qiao Ling walking in the studio next day and finding a huge sweat stain on the carpet together with other consequences of their mischief, he motivated himself to get up.

He glanced at his boyfriend, his bleary eyes stared back. The familiar features looked even more beautiful in the moonlight. Lu Guang smiled and gently ran his hand through Xiaoshi's hair, looking at him with loving eyes.

“Untie me…” Cheng Xiaoshi whispered.

Lu Guang hurried to grab scissors. As soon as the ropes came off the scratched wrists, the man jumped up, wrapping his arms around partner's waist. Fingertips traced the curves of his back. Despite the stickiness, Lu Guang hugged him back.

The prolonged “photo shoot" left bright bruises on Cheng Xiaoshi's body, which had to be carefully hidden. However, three layers of makeup didn't convince Qiao Ling that they spent weekend in boredom, so they decided to hide the man from the clients entirely.

Lu Guang was standing behind the counter. After serving another client, he said a friendly goodbye. Hearing the bell ring, Cheng Xiaoshi walked out of the dark room.

"Here you go! Your freshly made pictures.”

The man happily stated as he handed over the envelope. Lu Guang picked it up and looked inside, finding a dozen photos.

“Did you print them all?"  he asked, flipping through them.

“Of course. They are all good. With a model like me, there are no bad photos.”

Cheng Xiaoshi returned to the hiding place. He was about to start working when he noticed a picture on the table that he had forgotten to attach. The young man took it to hand it over and suddenly discovered Lu Guang still standing there, staring at one photo before him with a blue glow in the eyes.

"Lu Guang!” Cheng Xiaoshi ran to him shouting. “Stop looking at the past me when you have the present one!!!”
