My Forbidden Lover

CHAPTER 18 – Be with you

After Their Reconciliation

Kaoro lay down on Jiang’s lap, his eyes filled with a soft kind of longing.

“Can you stay here for the whole night?” he asked sweetly, his voice carrying a tone of affection.

“No,” Jiang replied shortly.

“Please?” Kaoro begged.

“…I said no,” Jiang repeated firmly.

Kaoro chuckled, then began tickling Jiang until the latter lost balance and fell back onto the bed. Their eyes met – the world seemed to stop for a moment. Slowly, Kaoro leaned forward and pressed a gentle kiss on Jiang’s forehead.

“I love you so much,” he whispered before brushing another kiss against his skin. Jiang closed his eyes, quietly surrendering to the warmth of the moment.

“I miss you… I miss you so much,” Kaoro murmured, nuzzling against Jiang’s neck, his voice trembling with emotion.

“Stop. That’s enough,” Jiang said softly, trying to compose himself.

Jiang sat up, and Kaoro immediately reached out to steady him.

“What’s that look for?” Jiang asked, smiling slightly.

“Nothing,” Kaoro replied, smiling back.

He took Jiang’s hand and kissed it tenderly, letting his lips linger for a moment. Jiang blushed but didn’t pull away – instead, he sighed, caught between laughter and fondness.

“Kaoro…” he warned lightly.

Kaoro only grinned, but before the mood could grow deeper, his phone suddenly rang.

“Zacky is calling,” he muttered with a groan.

“What the hell, man? Why now?” he whispered, picking up the call.

“Don’t tell me… you’re with someone again? Everything good with your Chinese guy?” Zackarya teased from the other end.

“Excuse me? I’m loyal!” Kaoro said proudly.

“Yeah right, loyal my ass,” Zackarya laughed.

“If they hadn’t drugged my drink that night, we’d be married by now — living happily ever after,” Kaoro replied half-jokingly, half-bitterly.

“So how are you two now?” he asked curiously.

“Same as always. We have to pretend. They’re even asking for a grandchild. I told Margo to just get pregnant by her foreign boyfriend,” Zackarya said, laughing.

“Afam, huh,” Kaoro chuckled.

While they were talking, Jiang wrapped his arms around Kaoro from behind, resting his chin on Kaoro’s shoulder.

“Mmm… I’m hungry,” Jiang murmured softly.

“Oh, looks like I’m interrupting something,” Zackarya teased.

“You really are,” Kaoro replied before hanging up.

Turning to Jiang, he asked, “What do you want to eat?”

“Spicy noodles,” Jiang said in a baby-like tone, pouting adorably.

Kaoro chuckled, pinching Jiang’s soft cheek. “You’re too cute.”

He went to the kitchen to cook. As he prepared the noodles, Jiang suddenly hugged him from behind and whispered, “I missed this – moments like this.”

Kaoro turned around and smiled, pulling him into a warm embrace. “I missed this too… and I missed you more than anything.”

Jiang giggled and teased, “By the way, what’s that nonsense you told to dad –about giving him a grandchild?”

“Yes, Moon. I said I’m willing to give him a grand child” Kaoro answered proudly.

“How?” Jiang laughed.

“Well, we were almost about to make our baby earlier… but someone called,” Kaoro teased, making Jiang burst out laughing.

“After spicy noodles… how about a spicy scene?” Kaoro added playfully.

“You’re so shameless!” Jiang smacked him lightly. “As if you could even get me pregnant?”

“I could try,” Kaoro winked.

“And where would it come out from?” Jiang shot back.

Kaoro just laughed harder. Jiang pinched his side. “You’re so ridiculous,” he said between laughs.

“Science works wonders!” Kaoro joked.

“That’s because you keep reading too many yaoi stories,” Jiang teased.

“Reminder –after spicy noodles,” Kaoro whispered mischievously.

“Let your hormones rot,” Jiang retorted, swatting him playfully on the back.

Later, Jiang prepared two porcelain bowls and a pair of chopsticks while Kaoro finished cooking the noodles. They ate quietly together.

While eating, Kaoro nudged Jiang’s foot playfully under the table.

“Kaoro,” Jiang said, frowning.

“What? I’m not doing anything,” Kaoro replied innocently, though a smirk betrayed him.

“One more touch, and I’ll crush your foot,” Jiang warned.

“Okay, fine,” Kaoro raised his hands in surrender, smiling.

Jiang rolled his eyes. “You’re impossible.”

“I love you,” Kaoro said sweetly.

Jiang tried to hide his smile.

Three days later...

Kaoro successfully closed a major deal with Jiang’s company – and also won back the heart of Moonlit Resorts’ founder.

He decided to return to Japan, bringing Jiang with him. When they arrived, Kaoro’s parents welcomed them warmly.

“Moon, this is my Mama… and my Mommy,” Kaoro introduced proudly.

“Y-you have two moms?” Jiang asked in surprise.

“Yep! I was raised by two amazing women,” Kaoro said proudly. “This is Mama A, and this is Mama B.”

“It’s an honor to meet you both,” Jiang said politely, bowing respectfully.

“How cute,” Jiang whispered to Kaoro.

“Not as cute as you,” Kaoro whispered back flirtatiously.

“This is for you, Jiang,” Mama A said, handing him a homemade dumpling.

“Also this one,” Mama B added, giving him another.

“What about mine?” Kaoro asked, pouting.

“You’re a big boy now – serve yourself,” Mama B laughed.

Then Kaoro, grinning mischievously, asked, “Mama A, Mama B… do you want a grandchild soon?”

Both women choked on their food in shock. They looked at each other, confused and laughing, knowing full well their son preferred men.

Jiang pinched Kaoro’s side and whispered, “You’re so random!”

The two mothers burst out laughing.

“Whatever makes you happy, son. We’ll support you,” Mama A said through her laughter.

“I’m serious,” Kaoro insisted.

“Of course you are,” Mama A chuckled, shaking her head.

After dinner, the couple went to a different room – Kaoro didn’t want Jiang to be reminded of painful memories from before.

“This isn’t your old room,” Jiang noticed.

“It’s in another house. I brought you here to my parents’ place so you wouldn’t remember… everything,” Kaoro said softly.

From the balcony on the third floor, Jiang admired the view – the distant lights twinkled across the city, the sound of cars below mixing with the fresh scent of flowers Kaoro had planted there. The wind was cool and comforting, brushing gently against his skin.

“Kaoro, do you think it’s going to rain?” Jiang asked quietly.

“They say if there are stars, it won’t,” Kaoro answered, smiling as he looked at him.

“It’s beautiful here, isn’t it?”

“Not as beautiful as you,” Kaoro replied, stroking Jiang’s hair.

Jiang smiled shyly and took both of Kaoro’s hands, placing them around his waist, then rested his arms on Kaoro’s shoulders.

“Let’s dance… like before,” Jiang whispered.

“But there’s no music,” Kaoro said.

“Then you sing,” Jiang replied with a smile, leaning against his chest.

🎶🎵🎶

Sa ilalim ng kalawakan pangalan mong isisigaw

Sa ilalim ng buwan ay titigan at hawakan aking kamay

Isasayaw ka ng dahan-dahan hanggang di mo mamalayang

Ako na pala ang yong’ kailangan at gusto mong pamahalaan

Sinta naalala mo pa noong unang araw na magtagpo ang mga mata

Mga tala sa langit ay bumaba tila’y liwanag mo’y nagbabadya ng bagyo sa pusong kawala

O sinta sana naaalala mo pa yung mga unang sayaw nating dalawa

Kasi sa bawat pag pikit ng aking mga mata hanggang sa huli indak ng mga paa

Alam kong habang buhay iibigan kita

Sa ilalim ng kalawakan pangalan mong isisigaw

Sa ilalim ng buwan ay titigan at hawakan aking kamay

Isasayaw ka ng dahan-dahan hanggang di mo mamalayang

Ako na pala ang yong’ kailangan at gusto mong pakasalan.

🎶🎵🎶

As Kaoro sang softly, Jiang rested peacefully in his arms, swaying gently with him under the moonlight. The stars shimmered, the wind whispered through the flowers, and the two of them moved together, heart to heart, soul to soul.

When the song reached its last verse, Kaoro slowly knelt down before Jiang.

“Wu Cheng Jiang,” he said, his voice trembling. “I know I wasn’t perfect when we were apart. I was weak, I made mistakes. But I promise –I’ll do everything to regain the trust you once gave me. My Moon, I’ll be a good and faithful husband, and someday, a good father to our future child.”

As he spoke, Jiang’s tears fell softly, just as the wind began to rise and the rain started to pour.

“My Moon… I am Kaoro Takashi Nikihimura – the man who doesn’t believe in courting, but who will never stop asking you this question.”

He smiled through his tears.

“My Moon… will you marry me?”

Jiang wiped his tears and said teasingly, “Can you stand up first?”

“That’s so corny,” Jiang laughed before pulling Kaoro into a hug.

“Love,” Jiang whispered.

“Mmm?” Kaoro replied, kissing his forehead.

“Let’s get married,” Jiang said softly.

“Yes, please,” Kaoro answered, tears spilling as he slid the ring gently onto Jiang’s finger.

“I love you, My Moon,” Kaoro whispered, in Japanese, Tagalog, and Chinese.

“I love you too,” Jiang replied in Chinese.

The Next Morning

7:30 a.m.

Jiang woke up alone. He reached beside him for Kaoro, but only found the warmth left on the sheets. The scent of Kaoro’s cologne lingered in the air.

“Good morning, love,” Jiang murmured sleepily– then quickly sat up, worried it might all have been a dream.

He hurried downstairs, hand gliding down the railing.

“Good morning, Jiang,” greeted Mama A and Mama B warmly.

“Good morning,” Jiang replied politely.

“Good morning, Moon,” came a familiar voice from behind him.

Jiang turned — Kaoro stood there, smiling, before placing a soft kiss on his forehead. Then he walked to the kitchen to prepare a cup of warm coffee for his beloved.

And for a moment, everything felt perfect again –

as if love itself had come home.

After breakfast, Jiang decided to go back up to Kaoro's room and enjoy the beautiful view from the balcony of kaoro's room while welcoming the cool and fresh air that was blowing on his face. And when he looked down at his feet, he noticed that some of the plants were a bit wilted, so he took the watering can to fill it with water and water the wilted plants.

"You should tell your boss that you need to be watered," he said with a chuckle, talking to the plant.

Oh my, you too... Next time you make noise, tell your boss you need water so you can bloom," he said to a type of herbal plant.

"Hello, beautiful sunflower, it's your turn," he said with a smile as he watered the flower.

At that moment, Kaoru quietly and happily watched Jiang from the veranda.

"Cute," he whispered, because of his sleepy polo shirt and matching pajama pants with a moon and star design.

While Jiang was busy watering the plants, Kaoru approached and hugged the young man.

Are you finished? "Hmm?" it asked in a low voice and tone. Simultaneously, he pressed his middle back against Jiang's.

Jiang felt Kaoro's middle part very strongly, so he immediately put down the watering can, turned to face Kaoro, stared intently, and bit his lip.

Kaoro smiled, then lifted Jiang and placed her on the bed before lying on top of Jiang and showering her neck with kisses.

"Mm"—a sound coming from Jiang as he scratched Kaoru's back. Since Kaoru had a broad back and a large tattoo of a red dragon design, Jiang's scratches weren't visible on his back.

Kaoro kissed Jiang, and their tongues moved up and down, creating a sound with each touch of their lips, igniting the heat they both released. From the lips down to the neck, Kaoro marked the right side of the neck near the shoulder.

"Can you bite me more~?" Jiang said as Kaoro ran his tongue over Jiang's skin.

Down to his chest, and as if it were ice cream, he licked Jiang's n****e and sucked it at the same time. "Ohhhh," Jiang groaned.

Jiang got up and completely took off his clothes, while Kaoru pulled down his jogging pants, and Jiang pulled the drawstring from Kaoru's jogging pants. Jiang stripped everything off until nothing was left, then threw it on the floor. Kaoro held her two thighs and positioned them properly, then Kaoro took off his pants, revealing a very large and long eggplant standing upright and ready to enter.

Jiang was blushing and pale at what he saw, because he hadn't seen it the first time they met since he was drunk at the time.

"Can you lower your head?" Kaoro asked.

"Yeah, sure," Jiang replied, licking Kaoro's long, veiny eggplant. While sucking on its dildo. "Ohhhhhhh," Kaoro moaned as Jiang pushed Kaoro's eggplant in and out of his mouth.

"You're amazing," Kaoro said, panting.

After Jiang Yong finished with Kaoro, Kaoro held his hands and raised them, tying a black cloth around them. Kaoro placed its two feet on his shoulders, bringing its claws close to the middle part of Jiang's body and slowly inserting them so Jiang wouldn't feel pain.

"Ohh, be gentle," Jiang murmured, biting his lip.

Ahhh, you're not him," Jiang sighed in relief.

"Okay, baby, I'll be gentle," Kaoro replied.

And then scrape the eggplant.

Ohhh~ holy f**k! "accompanied by a wink," Jiang said after going all out.

"Ahhh ahhh ahhhh," Jiang moaned as Kaoro thrust his eggplant in and out of Jiang's cave.

With each pounding stroke and the sweat dripping down Kaoro's back, liquid was released from his body.

"Can we change the style?" Kaoro said.

"Lay down, then lift your hips"—as he held Jiang's waist and quickly thrust his p***s in and out.

Ahhh ahhh ahhhh~ ~

After that, Jiang was on top of Kaoro, and she raised and lowered herself at that moment.

"Ahhh ahhh," Kaoro moaned, and at the same time, Kaoro sucked on Jiang's n****e.

"Be good," Jiang said as he stroked Kaoro's sweaty head. With every rise and fall of Jiang's body, it seemed that only moans echoed throughout the room.

Jiang stood up, and Kaoro lifted it, pounding it while standing.

They were pressed against the large glass wall in Kaoru's room while Jiang licked his ear, and they were also pounding. They almost went through every position in the room because of the different positions.

***

"The last place is… the shower together," Kaoro said softly, before kissing Jiang as they slowly stepped backward into the bathroom.

Under the running water, their hands explored one another tenderly, the warmth between them rising endlessly until both of them reached the height of passion. Afterward, they showered together peacefully and soon fell asleep, exhausted but content.

4:30 PM.

Kaoro gently woke Jiang with a kiss on the forehead.

“Wake up, it’s already afternoon,” he whispered sweetly.

“My back hurts… it really hurts,” Jiang murmured.

“You fooled me, you said you’d be gentle. But…” Jiang added with a pout.

“I can’t get up, my body feels so sore… like I’m having a fever,” he said again.

“Then… what do you want to eat, hmm?” Kaoro asked.

“… Soup,” Jiang answered briefly.

“Okay.”

Kaoro went downstairs to prepare food for Jiang, who could hardly move because of the soreness all over his body, feeling as if he had caught a fever.

While lying in bed, Jiang thought of checking his phone—and saw 50 missed calls from his father.

“Damn! I’m dead,” he groaned, sitting up and leaning against the pillow, wincing in pain from his aching back.

He called his father.

“Hello, Papa.”

“It’s good you finally called! How are you? Are you still alive? Are you two okay now? Am I going to be a grandfather soon?” his father asked, rapid-fire.

Jiang rolled his eyes and said, “Papa, easy! We’re okay. And… I’ll be going back to China next week.”

“No,” his father replied firmly.

“Take a year off from all the business there. I’ll handle everything here,” his father added.

“Then what about Moonlit Resorts?” Jiang asked worriedly.

“Don’t worry, son,” his father reassured him.

“Okay, okay—whatever you say. Still, I’ll go back to China to visit you, and to check on our business,” Jiang said.

“Alright, fine, son.”

Just then, Kaoro entered.

“Your soup is here, master,” he said playfully.

Jiang was quiet for a moment, staring blankly.

“Why? … Are you okay?” Kaoro asked with concern.

“Uhmm, I was just thinking… how are Juen and Zack doing?” Jiang asked softly, worry in his voice.

Kaoro held Jiang’s hands to comfort him.

“The time will come when fate will be kind to them too,” Kaoro said gently.

“Just like us. If destiny aligned for us, then for them—there will be the right time, place, and moment. For now, think about us. Don’t stress yourself too much, hmm?” he said, stroking Jiang’s hair tenderly.

“Love,” Jiang whispered.

“Mm?” Kaoro responded.

“Thank you—for waiting so long, for not giving up, for your patience, for always putting me first and learning how to handle me. You are always the light in my darkest days—the light from the moon. I love you, My Moon.”

“I love you too, My little Moon,” Kaoro replied.

As they leaned closer, the stars above seemed to shine brighter—like the sparkle in their eyes. Hand in hand, they stood there, lost in the magic of the night, their love timeless and boundless as the starry sky and the whispering Moon above them.
