WARNING: Still almost a lemon. But not quite. Not yet.

He wasn't taking advantage of her.

That's already been made clear because every time he pulls away, every time he tries to stop -she pulls him down back to her.

If anybody is taking advantage of someone here, it was her.

"Hak…" She hurriedly pulls him closer to her.

But she wouldn't really be aware of that that, would she?

And even if she was, who could blame her when his firm, gentle touch was this addictive? It's not her fault because she swears, there's no better feeling in the world than his lips… his tongue… and his hot breath –all on her skin.

She shut her eyes tight, trying to get a hold of herself as she takes in the waves of pleasures his touch and kisses were sending over. Her soft moans was filling the already heavy air in his room as his name poured out of her lips

"Princess, if you keep moaning my name like that, I won't be able to stop." He whispered next to her ear.

He could barely think now. He wonders how his mind could be foggy and overly aware of every movement, sound and whimper she made at the same time.

His lips made their way to her jaw, travelling down back from her neck to her collarbones then to her chest. He started to explore her frame with his palm, reaching her sides, sliding down to her hips. When he reached a sensitive spot near her pelvic bone, he was awarded with another electrifying moan of his name .

She raked his scalp with his fingertips in the process, causing him to hiss in pleasure.

His eyes shot open, almost completely losing his sh*t when he realized she's wearing nothing but this dangerously thin, loose night robe. He immediately withdrew his hands and placed them on the space on the bed instead, propping himself up, making a small distance between their bodies.

"Princess, you - -"

But she was having none of that.

She lifts herself. Again, pressing her body against his as she clung to his shoulder and neck for support. She shifted her legs' position to a more comfortable one - on his sides.

"Hak..." her voice was commanding... or was it pleading? Neither of them was sure anymore.

His heart was beating so fast, he's scared he might die. He wanted her. He wanted her so much, it scared him.

"Princess umf- -…" She shuts him up as she brought her lips to his. He felt her breasts pressed up against his chest. He's panicking now. He's going to die. He's definitely going to die. If not by heart attack, his old man Mundok will make sure he dies.

He swears, right now, he wanted nothing more than to take her and make her his.

But not like this.

She, then, unconsciously grinded herself against him.

"Agh, Yona!"

That seemed to wake them both from the drunk haze they were in.

He regained his conscious, rational strength and pulled away from her. Both stared at each other for a few moments, shock evident across their faces.

He flopped down beside her, immediately brought his hand to his face, trying to control the deep blush creeping up his face after the realization hits him. The faint sounds of their panting only made it worse.

He looked over to her and she's just lying there. With eyes wide open and hands still covering her mouth. Her slightly undone robe and disheveled hair were framing her on the bed... on his bed.

God, she's beautiful.

He snaked his arms around her and pulled her to his chest, embracing her.

She was still tensed until he started drawing circles on the small of her back. Both their hearts were still pounding and she's not sure if she hearing her own or his. But it calmed her.

His lips found the skin below her ear, her eyes closed as she started to relax a bit more. She tipped her head to the side, giving him ample access as he slowly started kissing her there.

He stopped near her collar bone but not before sucking the spot lightly and gently biting down.

"Hak!..."

He licked the area he just bit to soothe it. Pulled away to admire his art.

"What did you do that for?!" She placed her hand over the area.

"Punishment" He replied with a straight face

"Punishment for what, exactly?!"Disbelief was plastered on her face.

He tugged at the edges of his robe, covering his chest in a defensive gesture.

"Seducing me." He whispered, looking away.

She was speechless.

.

.

.

"Pervert hime." He added.

a vein snapped.

"Hime-sama!" the maid ran towards her "We're all been looking for you. Why did you leave your room? And General Hak! Your face is red. Is that a hand mark?"

"I uh- -well um.. Hak- -" Her hands automatically tugged at her robes protectively.

"I found her sleep walking outside. She 'accidentally' hit me. Where are the guards posted outside her room?" Hak interrupted before she says something… complicated.

"I believe they're running around the castle looking for the princess… as all of us were."

"Tell them they'll be on disciplinary training starting tomorrow."

"Yes, General Hak."

"Also… I'll be personally guarding the princess at night, from now on."

"Says who?!" Yona protested

"Says the handsome General." He said flatly and turned to the maids. "Please, let me assist Yona-hime to her room."

The maids opened the door to her room immediately letting him lead (drag) the red-haired princess to her room

"No! He can't guard me, he's a pervert!" Yona looked at the maids, begging for help.

He flinched at the accusation. "Oi! That's not - -" His words left him when he saw the maids looking down and blushing. He shut the door behind them

The General is a pervert? Surely he's not. Yona-hime must be joking. They're close after all. They've been bantering endlessly in the past few weeks.

They can still hear them banter from outside her room.

"You can't suddenly accuse me of being a pervert in public! Baka-hime"

"Why the hell not? Baka-hentai?" She went straight for her bed.

"Listen you're- -"

"You can't guard me in the night and then train in the morning." She was looking away, trying to hide a blush as fumbled the sheets of her bed.

Has she thought of this before? Of having me guard her at night instead?

A smug grin made its way to his lips.

"Don't feel too good about yourself, baka." She mumbled as she slid herself between the sheets and started to assume sleeping position, back turned against him, still hiding her blush. "It's just... even beasts like you need to rest. Just go back to your room."

He sat down on the side of her bed. She shifted to look and scold him.

"Hey, I said emff- -" Before she knew it, his hand slid on the side of her face, and his lips was on hers.

It was gentle and sweet. She felt like melting in the moment. The kiss didn't last long though. He pulled away and planted another soft kiss on the bridge of her nose.

"Thank you." He whispered.

"F-for what?" what. For letting him kiss me? Touch me? For giving him the entertainment?

"for thinking of me" He smiled honestly and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and kissed her on the forehead once more before standing up.

"Goodnight, Hime."

He walked out of her room, leaving her speechless and feeling funny. Damned butterflies making torpedoes in her tummy.

EXTRA:

"You look… tired, princess." Shin Ah monotonously commented. While Ao pukyuu-ed worriedly.

"What?! Are you alright, Princess Yona?" Kija sprung out of nowhere. "Aren't you getting enough sleep? Is it the bed? Is it not too comfortable for you? Or is it nightmares? Would you like me to hold your hand while you sleep?"

"Stop harassing her, White Snake. No one wants to hold your beastly hand" Hak pulled the silver haired lad away from his princess.

"Little miss, you should try to get 8 hours of sleep. It does wonders for your complexion." Zeno took her arm, inspecting her skin.

"You look beautiful as ever, princess. However, do look a little tired, Yona dear. Is something troubling you? Come, tell me about it. Let me comfort you" Jae ha took her other hand and kissed the back of it.

"OKAY that's enough, moss head." Hak attempted to thwack the green dragon on the head but failed as Jae Ha already saw it coming and dodged. "Yona dear, what's that on your neck?"

Yona blushed furiously when she realized her neck has been slightly exposed. She immediately covered it with her fingers.

Hak flinched for a second, Jae ha didn't miss that.

"w-what, this? Hah-haha.. ha…" She laughed nervously, trying to think of an excuse. "I uh... think an insect bit me last night"

Hak felt an invisible arrow hit him from his back.

He wouldn't have mind it if she told them the truth. Maybe shocked but he wouldn't be particularly mad about it. He might be even a little bit proud. It's like finally making a statement that she's his. He honestly wouldn't mind it as well if she hid the truth. He also liked the idea of having this naughty secret between them.

…but an insect is kind of a bit too much.

"What kind of insect was it, Princess?!" Kija panicked "Maybe that's why you couldn't sleep! In my hometown, there's this type of insect that makes people unable to sleep for a week!"

"I'm sure it's not something like that, Kija. It could be just a… cockroach" She tried to calm him down.

Another invisible arrow struck him. His knees felt weak, he had to cling to a tree for support.

The Great Thunder Beast has been called a lot of things. Cockroach is not one of those things.

"My dear. That must have been a gigantic, stupid, disgusting, hideous-looking cockroach"

Thunder crackled as 5 lightning bolts hit Hak in succession like a 5-strike combo from Zeus.

"You know, Yona, my love, there's another term for 'cockroach bite'. It's called a hickey." Jae Ha said in an as-a-matter-of-fact manner.

"A hic- what?" She tried to repeat, confused.

"A hicke- -uck!" Yun whacked his head, stepping into action as he understood the situation Yona's in.

"She doesn't need to learn about stupid things like that, you good for nothing gigolo! Come with me Yona, we'll find some ointment for that" He shot a death glare at Hak which was deemed futile since the thunder beast is already absorbed into his own world, committing suicide.

Jae Ha makes a sudden 100% recovery. "I'll come with you"

"Me too!" Kija and Zeno exclaimed in unison

"I don't think that's really necessary" Yona, tried to control the situation. She looked over to Hak only to find him lifelessly banging his head onto a tree.

"Shush dear. You're a princess. You must take care of your skin. Besides, who knows what kind of infection that ugly cockroach might have given you?" Jae Ha continued,"…and Hakie dearie~, please stop what you're doing. You'll break the tree."

Yona continued to try and change their minds as they walked away leaving Hak lifeless, slumping against a tree.

He felt a hand suddenly touch his back.

It was Shin Ah.

"You don't… look like a cockroach to me,… big brother Hak"

"err… thanks."

A/N: Hello once again, strangers!

I am back from the grave. O_O

Sorry it took me a while to upload this. It underwent a lot of major revisions as I was trying to keep them in character. (And, like I said from last time, I'm not used to writing/posting…indecent stuff. Teeheehee)

I do appreciate feedback (I'd really love to learn which areas I could improve on… And I'm not gonna lie, knowing that the readers liked my ideas encourages me a lot and makes me want to write more.)

Soooo, let me know what you think! :D
