Epilogue
My Baby, The Mountain Master
Moni
Warmth.
That’s what woke me at first.
This soothing heat spread through my body like sunshine on a cold morning.
Then came the sensation of strong, calloused fingers slipping under my panties.
My breath hitched but my body welcomed the touch, arching instinctively as those fingers dipped lower.
“Oh.” A moan escaped my mouth.
Eyes still sealed with sleep, I focused on fully waking, but then soft, full lips pressed against the smooth curve of my bald head, sending shivers coursing through me.
Damn.
The kisses trailed lower, brushing against my temple, then my cheek, until they finally found my mouth.
That kiss was hot.
Demanding.
And utterly familiar.
Lei.
I moaned again, opening my eyes as his gorgeous face came into view.
He pulled back and his long hair fell around us. Wicked lust blazed through his gaze.
I blinked. “Y-you’re awake.”
“I am.” He licked his lips. “Why do you look so surprised?”
“It’s been five fucking days of you groaning as you tossed and turned.”
“I was gone for that long?”
“Yes.”
“Hmmm.” As if it didn’t matter, he swooped back down and claimed my mouth again, tasting me with an urgency I hadn’t felt in days.
My baby is back!
Joy surged through me so intensely I thought I might cry but there was no time for tears.
Lei wasn’t interested in letting me process my emotions. He deepened the kiss, sliding his tongue against mine as his fingers continued their relentless exploration of my pussy, drawing another moan from my lips.
Oh fuck.
I stopped his hands and panted. “Wait.”
“Why would I wait?”
“Because you’re awake and—”
“I am. And I’m starving.”
“For food?”
“For you.” Shoving my hand to the side, he began to play with my sensitive clit, circling it with maddening precision.
“But. . .Lei. . .”
“You’re so wet.” He purred against my lips, and his thumb expertly seared me with a possessive dominance that sent shivers down my spine.
The sensation was so overwhelming—a perfect blend of pleasure and torment, pushing me to the very edge of ecstasy.
A broken moan left me.
Goddamn it.
The pads of his fingers applied just the right pressure, coaxing wave after wave of erotic lust from me and leaving me gasping for more.
I whimpered, “Lei. . .”
“When did I pass out?”
“In the arena.” I clutched at his muscular shoulders. “I was scared you were going to die.”
“I couldn’t leave you.”
“Oh.” I arched toward him, desperate for everything he was giving me.
His lips trailed down my neck, warm and tantalizing, before capturing the sensitive spot at the base of my throat.
A gasp turned into a moan as his teeth grazed my skin, sending heat spiraling through my body.
“Fuck, Lei.”
He pulled back and looked at me. “Five days?”
“Y-yes.”
“Did I miss a lot?”
“Yes, I can catch you up but first we should call Master Wu so that he can check your vitals and—”
“I don’t want to see Master Wu, I don’t want anyone to know I’m up right now.”
“What? Why not?”
“They’ll surround us and I just want time with you —”
“Lei, the East has been worried.”
“You think I came back for the fucking East?”
I blinked.
“I came back for you .”
I bit my lip.
“Plus right now the East is asleep. . .” He began to move those fingers away from my clit and then dipped one into my pussy.
My legs trembled.
He watched me. “While I was out, did you let anyone touch this pussy?”
“You know I did.” I grinned. “I let tons of men from the East, West, and South run a big train on me.”
“Why not the North?”
“That train was for today.”
“Aww.” He pulled out the finger and pushed two inside me this time. “Write a list of all the men that got to fuck you.”
I shivered.
“Then, I’ll kill them one by one in front of you.” His eyes—dark and intense—held mine. The corners of his mouth twisted into a cruel smirk. "And as they die, that's when you'll realize exactly who you belong to."
"What if I already know?”
“Do you?”
“No one can satisfy me like you do." I kissed him passionately and let my fingers tangle in his hair. “You know that no one else could ever touch this pussy but you.”
“Mmmm.” His lips moved back to my throat again, branding me with the sizzling heat of his mouth as he fucked me with those two fingers.
Holy fuck!
The feeling was damn near indescribable—pure bliss mixed with an insatiable hunger for him.
He growled, a low rumble that vibrated against my skin. "Whose pussy does this belong to?"
His fingers plunged deeper, pushing me to the brink of ecstasy.
"You," I gasped out between pants. "Only you."
He stilled his movements. The intensity in his eyes nearly knocked the breath out of me. "That's what I like to hear but I want more than just your words."
"What do you want?"
"I want you to show me."
“How?”
“You want to live in Lotus Blossom, but you’re my official Mountain Mistress. Your place is here in the Palace—”
“Lei, my stuff is already moved in. My sisters have already decorated their rooms in the Palace.”
He parted his mouth in shock. “Really?”
Then, I moved his hands out of my panties so I could think. “I’m telling you to let me catch you up and call Master Wu—”
“Stop saying Master Wu’s name.”
I chuckled. “Why?”
“Because I only want to talk about us .” He stared at me. “You moved your stuff in?”
“Our little belongings. Yes.”
“So. . .it’s official?”
“Very.” I sighed. “In fact, on the first day I did the speech to the East to basically say that you were okay and—”
“You did a speech?”
“Yes.”
“And Chen didn’t have a heart attack?”
“Not at that time.”
“But he did later?”
“Well kind of. . .I did the speech that Chen and I, both agreed on and all was just fine, and then one of the reporters asked about the ring on my finger.”
“You told that them you were my fiancé?”
“Chen interrupted and said no comment. Apparently, Aunt Suzi and him want to do this big extravagant party announcing it—”
“Yet?” He leaned his head to the side.
“You know how I roll.”
His smile widened.
“I was too excited. So immediately, I started flashing the ring all in front of the cameras, telling them that you were my baby and we would get married. It wasn’t the most professional moment of my being Mountain Mistress. My picture and that ring was on every newspaper the next day.”
He chuckled, “And that was when Chen had the heart attack?”
“Panic attack but yes. Fen and Duck took him to the hospital.”
“How is he?”
“He’s out and on a forced vacation at the beach house. Jo gave him a whole packet of weed gummies and to all of our shock, he took them and a stack of books.”
“And your sisters? How are they?”
My nerves flared. “Well. . .Chloe and I got in an argument because when our mail from Glory was transferred to us we discovered that she was accepted by five colleges. Good ones too. She’s so fucking smart.”
“Then, why did you both argue?”
“Now that she’s in the Palace, Chloe doesn’t want to go to college anymore. She wants to. . .chill.”
Lei laughed.
“That’s not funny.”
“ My sister, Chloe can chill if she wants to chill, Moni.”
I rolled my eyes.
“She’s wealthy now. She has more choices, and. . .she should stay in East for a while. . .” The line of his jaw twitched. “Let her stay if she wants. It’s her life.”
“I know. I know. It took me another day to calm down but I am now going to mind my business and accept Chloe’s decision. Besides the argument made her cry and Aunt Min threatened to attack me due to Chloe’s crying.”
He laughed again.
“That isn’t funny.”
“I missed a lot.”
“Jo decided to take you up on that comic book store in the East.”
He blinked. “Oh really?”
“Yes. She plans to open it in six months and has been ordering stuff. She wants to take a trip to Japan and meet with special distributors. Banks wants to go with her. He says he needs a vacation.” I sighed. “Jo also met someone in the Palace. One of Master Wu’s assistants.”
“Very interesting.” He placed his hands on my waist. “And TT?”
“She is currently not talking to me.”
He quirked his brows. “Why not?”
“Well. . .she took the placement test for Mulberry.”
“That’s the best private middle school in the East.”
“Yes and TT loved the school when we did the tour. The teachers were super nice. The students were smiling and waving at us. But then. . .the administrators had her come back and do another test the next day.”
The happy expression left his face. “Why?”
“They didn’t tell us. She did it. And then the day after that. . .they had her test again, and it was another new test.” Already, I could sense the violence rising within his frame.
He sneered. “Why the fuck did they keep testing her?”
“Well, calm down.” I moved my hands to his chest. “I was getting angry too but yesterday the administrators sat us down. By us I mean, Jo, TT, and my new nosy aunts.”
Lei snickered.
“Anything to do with TT and those aunts are right there.”
He chuckled.
“Anyway, the administrators explained why they kept retesting her.”
“And?”
“They think she’s too advanced for middle school. They want her to skip straight to high school.”
His jaw tightened. “She’s too young.”
“I know. She’s supposed to be at the beginning of middle school, but. . .TT’s scores are off the charts. They said she’s performing at a level far beyond her age, and they don’t think keeping her in middle school is fair to her.”
Lei processed the information.
“And you know. . .I realized that at Glory Middle School. . .she was just in the background, quiet and floating. The teacher was too busy with close to forty students to even notice TT’s progress. Meanwhile, Mulberry sees her genius and they want to send scholars and all types of people around to help.” My nerves flared some more. “Anyway. . .Jo thinks we should force her to go to high school and that TT is the next astronaut or some shit. Chloe’s vote is to keep her in middle school so she won’t get bullied in high school.”
“And my Aunts?”
“They say they back whatever TT wants but Aunt Min has opened up a new space in the Palace to be TT’s special library.” I leaned my little head to the side. “What do you think?”
“Well. . .I understand what Chloe is saying but TT is now the Mountain Master’s little sister.” The line of his jaw twitched again. “No one is bullying her anywhere. She’ll have guards and I would personally come down there to deal with anyone messing with her.”
I blinked.
“What do you think, Moni?”
“TT is a genius and I’m out of my element with all of this.”
“What does TT think?”
“She’s terrified. She keeps saying everyone in high school is developed and they’ll look at her like she’s some sort of monster. She doesn’t want to do homeschool either, so that’s not an option. And even more. . .she’s super uncomfortable with all the attention. She asked to do the tests over claiming that the scores will be low next time.”
A long heavy silence came.
“But. . .in the end, Lei. . .I don’t want TT to hide who she is and try and blend in with so called normal people if God blessed her to be great.” I swallowed. “But I already made Chloe cry this week over my trying to push her in life. . .so I didn’t push the matter further with TT. Instead. . .I called Dima.”
Lei narrowed his eyes. “Dima?”
“Yes. He’s been helping me out—”
“Helping—”
“Mentoring—”
“Him and no other man is to be around you—”
“I was never alone with Dima. Duck, and Hu were near.”
Lei finally closed his mouth.
“You’ve been out for five days, Lei. The East still needed leadership. And Dima. . .he’s been there to help me navigate things while you’ve been recovering.”
“Help you navigate things?” His tone darkened, the dangerous undercurrent was unmistakable.
I molded my breasts against him. “He’s guided me on decisions I had to make. I’ll update you on everything, but trust me, no one could ever take your place.”
His lips curved into a faint smirk but the possessiveness in his eyes didn’t fade. “I love Dima, but I don’t like the idea of him being too comfortable with you.”
“He knows that which is why he’s been respectful and helpful. Plus, Rose is dope and usually is with us when he is helping.”
“Hmmm.”
“Anyway. . .I told Dima everything. He was super excited about TT’s results, so. . .then I asked Dima to help.”
“What exactly is Dima supposed to do?”
“Rose and he are coming to dinner tonight to talk to her, which is great since you’re back.”
He rolled his eyes. “Yay.”
“TT needs someone who isn’t Jo or me telling her it’s going to be okay, so you should talk to her too.”
“I will.” He studied me, and his expression was unreadable. “Dinner will be good. I needed to talk to Dima anyway.”
“About?”
“That’s a long conversation, but we’ll discuss it.”
“Good.”
“Anymore updates on my sisters?”
I smiled. “No, but your aunts put Song and his monks in the dungeon. They’re waiting for you to decide how long Song and them will serve time for helping your father. There’s also things in the East like—”
“The East can wait.” Fast, he returned his hands to my panties, diving his fingers in and playing with my pussy. “This is more important.”
It felt so good that I couldn’t stop him.
“Damn it, Lei.”
His touch was relentless, demanding and intoxicating all at once. The world outside our little cocoon ceased to exist; there was only Lei and the fiery passion that threatened to consume us both.
The way he controlled my body was nothing short of masterful. Every stroke of his fingers brought me closer and closer to the precipice.
His free hand slid under my gown and up my body, cupping my breast.
Then, he brushed his thumb over my hardened nipple.
Hell yes.
The dual sensations sent me over the edge.
“You’re so beautiful, Moni.” He squeezed my nipple. “Rule number one as my Mountain Mistress.”
I quirked my brows.
“Never wear panties in bed.” He stopped playing with my pussy and began yanking them away.
“Okay. I will respect that rule in the future.” I moved my body to help him with getting them off. “But, Lei, you’re back. How do you really feel? Headaches or anything? Are you dizzy or—”
“I’m in pain.”
Oh no.
Concern flared in my chest.
I rose. “Okay. Let’s stop this real quick and I’ll call Master Wu to see what he can do—”
Before I could finish, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back down onto the bed.
My panties were now discarded on the side of the bed.
“Lei?”
“Moni.” His voice was playful but edged with that dangerous hunger I loved.
I frowned. “You said you were in pain—”
“My cock is in pain. I need to be inside of you.”
“Goddamn it, Lei. I’m asking about your heart and body, not your fucking cock—”
“That’s the only thing that is important right now—”
“I thought you were going to die in the arena. Do not play with me.”
“I’m fine. I’m alive and I’m not going anywhere.” Lei rose and hovered over me. “If you bring Master Wu up again, I’m going to spank that fat ass of yours with my cock. The last thing I want to see is him right now. ”
I smirked, arching a brow at him. “What do you want to see, Lei?”
“Your eyes rolling back. Your breasts bouncing as I fuck you hard.”
My laugh was a little breathless this time, but I couldn’t stop myself.
He scowled. “You think I’m a joke?”
“Of course not.”
With a fluid motion, his hands slid down to his waistband and with practiced ease, he shoved down his pajama pants, revealing the toned muscles of his thighs.
A deep exhale escaped my lips as I saw his cock already fully erect and pointing directly at me.
Next, he turned his attention to me, slowly pulling off my gown with careful fingers that caused shivers to run down my spine.
The cool air hit my skin, inciting goosebumps to rise.
His gaze burned into mine. “Let’s see.”
“Let’s see what?”
“Hmmm.” Lei gripped my thighs and began lifting my legs up moving them back and forth experimentally, as if he were trying to solve a puzzle.
I chuckled. “Lei, what the hell are you doing?”
His tone was completely serious. “I’m figuring out what position I want to fuck you in.”
Before I could respond, he moved with swift, decisive precision, lifting my legs high. His grip was firm yet careful, folding my thighs back until my knees brushed against my shoulders and my ankles hovered above my head.
What the. . ?
The stretch was intense, leaving me exposed and vulnerable in the most erotic way.
“Okay!” I was now half-laughing, half-gasping as the air between us thickened with desire. “You need to calm down!”
He didn’t.
Not even a little.
His dark, heated gaze roamed over my naked body, settling on the place where I was utterly open to him. The angle made me feel completely his—every curve of my pussy, every inch on display.
I was now an offering he was ready to devour.
“Hmmm. I like this. This position is like. . .special missionary, right?” His gaze locked on my glistening pussy.
In this position, I couldn’t hide anything from him. My body was fully stretched for him, vulnerable yet ready, and his intense focus on my most intimate place made me tremble.
I caught the flick of his tongue over his lips as if he were already savoring the taste of me. “Lei, this is not missionary.”
His grin turned wicked. “Then what is this?”
The words tumbled out before I could think better of it. “This is called Child Support.”
He froze, and for a heartbeat, the air was silent. Then his laughter erupted, filling the room with deep, genuine warmth, so rich it made my chest ache with love and my core tighten with lust.
But even as he laughed, his body didn’t waver.
“Mmmm.” That mischievous grin stayed fixed on his face as he pressed the thick, velvety head of his cock against my entrance.
The sensation of him there—hot, hard, and so impossibly close—sent a wave of desire crashing through me.
“Child Support, huh?” His voice dipped, teasing yet firm.
Well. . .I should. . .
I swallowed hard, my body already trembling in anticipation. “Speaking of. . .that. . .”
He froze. “What?”
“Well. . .” I hesitated. “I had to give my urine to Master Wu for some stupid-ass potion he wanted to give you.”
“I hate that potion.”
“Well. . .he couldn’t use my urine, Lei.”
“Why not?”
“I’m pregnant.”
His eyes widened and his mouth fell open in astonishment.
Oh God. Maybe. . .I should have waited.
Yet, to my surprise, he pushed his cock deep inside me, stealing my breath. My back arched as my pussy clenched around him, the fullness overwhelming and perfect all at once.
With his thrusting into me, he was able to press his chest against the back of my thighs and my breasts.
All I could think about was how complete he made me feel, how his cock stretched and filled me in a way that left no room for anything else. My body shivered, caught between pleasure and nerves as I searched his face for his thoughts.
Slowly, he placed his face two inches from mine. “You’re pregnant?”
“Y-yes. Only. . .Master Wu and I know. . .”
He didn’t move, didn’t speak, just stared at me with an intensity that burned straight through my soul.
My bottom lip quivered. “Say something.”
“So. . .now you really can’t escape me.”
“Oh God.” A grin tugged at my lips. “Well. . .that’s one way to look at it, Lei.”
His lips twitched into a small smile, but the heat in his eyes didn’t fade. “We should get married sooner .”
“I’m not rushing the wedding.”
“Yes. You are.” He pulled his cock back inch by inch, until it was almost out.
I shuddered. “No. I am not. Your aunts and I are planning a massive extravagant event.”
“But, I’m the Mountain Master.” He thrust his cock back into me.
Pleasure crashed through my body.
“Oh God!”
“Mmmm.” He remained right there with his cock filling me. “But I guess it doesn’t matter if we rush having the wedding or not.”
I was fucking panting.
“Ceremony this week or a year later, you’re mine, Moni. Now and forever.” He returned to fucking me. “Now, you’ll be the mother of my child.”
With that, he was fucking me. The rhythm was slow at first but increased in intensity as we both lost ourselves in the raw pleasure.
His lips were everywhere—my neck, my shoulders, my breasts—marking me as his own over and over again.
“Lei, oh Lei!” I groaned.
His pace quickened, his thrusts deep and relentless, as though he were determined to make me feel every ounce of his love and need for me.
I whimpered beneath him, my body arching to meet his thrust.
The heat between us was a fiery intensity that radiated from every point of contact—his broad hands gripping my thighs, his muscular chest brushing against my hardened nipples, the intoxicating friction of him driving into me with absolute, unyielding possession.
Hot pleasure built within me, a crescendo of sensations spiraling higher and higher.
It was a force of nature.
An unstoppable torrent.
He groaned. “Moni.”
The sound of my name on his tongue unraveled.
I couldn’t speak, couldn’t form words, only moans and gasps as the pressure inside me grew unbearable, a pulsating energy twisting with each second.
My fingers clutched at his strong back, nails digging into the muscles that flexed and moved with his rhythm.
The creaking of the bed, the sound of our mingled breaths and moans, the slap of our bodies meeting—it all blended into a symphony of passion, raw and unfiltered.
He groaned, the sound vibrating against my skin, making me shiver.
“You’re mine.” he growled. “Only mine.”
“Yes.” I panted. “Always only yours.”
His lips captured mine again, swallowing my further cries.
There was no East, no Palace, no room, no bed, no walls—just us, tangled together, moving as one.
The pressure inside me reached its peak, an electric current sparking through every nerve ending. My body tensed, every muscle quivering as the edge loomed closer and closer.
“Lei!” My orgasm shattered every cell in my body in sensual bliss.
My back arched, my head thrown back, my body trembling uncontrollably as pleasure consumed me.
He didn’t stop, his rhythm steady, his hands firm as he held me in place, anchoring me to him even as I felt like I might pass out from the intensity.
“Fuck, Moni,” he groaned. His thrusts grew erratic as his own release chased mine.
“Oh my God.” He trembled and his cock spilled into me, filling my pussy with exquisite warmth. “Oh fucckkk. . .”
All I could do was catch my breath.
He stayed there, his cock deep inside me, his face buried in the crook of my neck, his breath hot against my skin as his body shuddered once more.
Time stretched.
The two of us remained tangled together.
The world outside was forgotten.
The space smelled of sex and love.
When he finally lifted his head and looked at me, there was this deranged expression on his face.
I widened my eyes. “What?”
“I think that position made me even more pussy whipped.”
“Enough with that, Lei.” I laughed.
“I’m not leaving your pussy.”
“I will need to walk, Lei.”
“No. You need to stay like this for the rest of your life.”
“I can’t have the baby that way so get up.”
“Fuck. You’re right.” He blinked and rolled off me, freeing my legs from that awkward position. “You’re pregnant.”
“Yes.”
He lay right next to me. “We’re going to be parents?”
“Are we ready?”
“Fuck no.”
“That’s what I was thinking.”
“Maybe, we can give the baby to Aunt Min and Aunt Suzi, and then runaway.”
“You joke but they’re already plotting how they’re going to kidnap our child.”
I chuckled.
“Moni.” He smiled, a rare, genuine Mountain Master smile that made my heart clench. “You’re going to be an amazing mother.”
My eyes watered. “I’m so glad you’ll be the father. I know you’ll protect him or her. You’ll do your best to love our kid.”
“I will.”
My heart warmed.
“Moni. . .”
“Yes.”
“I love you. . .more than anything.”
“I love you too.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re my everything .” I cleared my throat. “And. . .”
He quirked his brows.
“We should call Master Wu now.”
He groaned in annoyance. “Goddamn it. I told you not to mention that man’s name—”
“I’m pregnant, baby. I need you healthy and in perfect shape because I’m about to be a hot mess during all of these freaking trimesters. I can already feel all these different hormones bouncing around in me.”
“Fine.” He frowned. “Let’s call him.”
I winked. “Thank you, my stubborn Mountain Master.”
I went over to the other side of the bed and picked up my phone.
And the whole time. . .all I could think was that together, our bond was unbreakable and our possibilities were endless.
It didn’t matter what obstacles we faced.
What shadows threatened to consume us.
Or even how impossible the odds seemed.
When we were united. . .
the world was conquerable.
Nothing could ever stand in our way.
Our love was a force of nature.
Infinite.
Boundless.
So goddamned ruthless.
