Shanum rubbed his neck, he grabbed it. An energy pulsed in the neck. He was curious to see something that was there.
"You don't have to worry. It's just a pair mark. All married people in my world will have it." Khan turned out to pay attention to Shanum's behavior, although they were previously busy touring the family and the elders and the noble council of the Batbayar Clan.
"Is this sign permanent." Shanum was still holding the side of his neck.
"The sign will disappear if one of his partners has died or they parted ways and chanted a relationship-breaking spell" Khan replied, guiding Shanum to sit on the bench that had been reserved for them.
"So there's such a spell? Why is the information I get different? The bond between us cannot be broken by any casting spell?" tanya Shanum continued the discussion about the bond earlier.
"That spell is just for an ordinary couple, Shasha. Couples who have a soul bond like us are indeed inseparable. I also just found out about it from Eej."
"Yes, only death can separate us" Shanum murmured.
"Even after death one of the abandoned couples will not be able to find another partner. Eej says that he and my father are also soul mates."
"Shortly, if your parents are soul mates, what about your great-grandmother. I heard in a dream, my ancestral grandfather said your great-grandmother was also a one-soul couple with your great-grandfather."
"Yes, Nekhii does have that bond as well with her partner. And the bond was separated when her husband died. That soul necklace chose me when it came to Khan's father." Eej was suddenly near Shanum, he was sitting next to the girl.
"A very beautiful necklace. This must be the soul necklace of the Batbayar Clan. I'm aware of the color it emits." Eej touched the necklace on Shanum's neck.
"Yes, this is a soul necklace belonging to the Batbayar Clan. I'm glad I didn't need to find Nekhii to ask about this soul necklace, because there's an Eej I can ask."
Eej smile. "Yes, I heard you two talking about me. What else do you want Shanum to know?" ask the woman.
"Em, earlier Khan told me that if one of the spouses dies, the abandoned spouse will not be able to find another partner. Why?"
"Because that soul will never be attracted to another. An abandoned soul mate will always feel a sense of emptiness if forced to find another partner. It's certainly not fair to his new partner, and it can lead to conflict."
"Is anyone forced to pair up again, Eej?"
"There is, if the abandoned couple does not have offspring. He must have been told to remarry just to get a child. But usually this applies to men, and women who can still bear children."
"Oh so."
"Oh one more, Eej. I found a weirdo. Why is the soul necklace that appeared to me from the Batbayar Clan, not the soul necklace belonging to the Altan Clan?" ask Shanum again.
Eej smiled back. "Because the soul necklace belonging to the Batbayar Clan has chosen the woman who should have it, that is you. I don't understand how that necklace works either. But I'm sure the necklace from the Altan Clan will appear as well someday." Eej rubbed Shanum's arm.
"After all, you have the blood of an entire clan, Shanum. If the necklace only appears based on blood, it could be that the entire soul necklace within all the clans gathers only to you. Pity the other soul mates, will not get the ration," continued Eej while chuckling amusedly.
"Eej enough, you monopolize my bride." The man pulled Shanum's hand. "And you, Mrs Khan, you must have forgotten your husband on the day of the wedding. Looks like your husband really needs to punish you fairly." Khan growled, then suddenly pulled Shanum in his arms and started carrying him.
Cheers rang out from all over the party. They all teased Khan with a variety of words.
Shanum blushed in embarrassment, he hid his face on the warmth of Khan's chest. "I'm sorry, I think my wife is tired. So we need to go to the room." Khan's remarks certainly received a boisterous reaction from the guests. It was obvious that the man had only reasoned to immediately take them out of the party.
Jesus, Adri. Don't say such embarrassing things.
Shanum said it in their bond. The girl was very embarrassed to listen to those lying words.
Let it go, honey. I can't wait to take you to our room. Because I want to immediately complete the final ritual in the bonds of our souls.
Shanum swallowed with difficulty. She knew what her husband meant just now. The man immediately asked for his right as a husband tonight. Although it is natural for a husband to do so. Shanum was still scared.
Arriving in the room, after a long journey through the castle hallways. Khan dropped Shanum on the edge of the bed carefully. The girl gawked as she looked at the bed filled with sprinkling rose petals. And also colorful candles that decorate the entire room. The mood looked romantic in his eyes.
"You did this, Adri?" tanya Shanum flabbergasted.
"Yes. It was more precisely me who asked them to decorate it like this," the man replied.
"Oh, Adri... I can't speak. It's been quite a shock that I received the wedding of my dreams, even now our bridal room is also very beautifully decorated."
"Seeing your happy face is more than enough for me, Shasha." The man said softly.
"Geez, can I have diabetes for a long time, Adri. Your words are sweet."
Khan smile. "Okay, enough of his appeal. Now that we get to the point, you want to take a shower first, do you just change your clothes without taking a shower?" ask Khan.
"I'm definitely taking a shower." Shanum answered quickly.
"I guessed exactly. Come on now I'll help you take off that wedding dress. It must be hard to do it alone."
"Em, thank you. But there's no need, Adri. I can do it myself" Shanum replied with flushed cheeks holding in shame.
Khan pinched Shanum's chin gently. "I just unbuttoned it. Later you can take off her clothes in the bathroom. Or do you want me to disarm them all here?" Khan smiled smirk.
"Ihh, of course not." Shanum pursed his lips. His face was getting red.
Khan laughed amusedly. "Okay, I'm just kidding." Then the man told Shanum to turn around with a gesture of his hand, making Shanum turn his back on him. Shanum said, and Khan began to unbutton the wedding dress one by one.
Khan knew he shouldn't torture himself by doing all these things. Chinua had offered his personal servant to Shanum. But Khan refused, he just wanted to be alone with his wife, without the presence of others.
"Okay, it's done." Khan gave his announcement. Then he helped lead Shanum into the bathroom.
"I'll use the bathroom in the next room. No need to rush." Khan took a step forward and then kissed Shanum's forehead.
"I hope we can complete the couple bonding ritual tonight." The man smirked as he saw Shanum freeze.
Then in a hurry and looking nervous, Shanum immediately retreated into the bathroom. He immediately closed the door without responding with words. Khan's laughter sounded amused from behind the bathroom door. Shanum exhaled.
Then stepping closer to the glass of the sink, he looked at his face into the mirror and chuckled amusedly. He realized his behavior was ridiculous, he should have been ready to do what Khan asked. A wife must serve her husband.
However, somehow Shanum was very nervous and also embarrassed. Shanum shook his head, he had to hurry up immediately. There's no way he's lingering here. Delaying something that will never be avoided again. He swore and will keep his oath.
After being in the bathroom for about fifteen minutes, Shanum walked out of the place. She draped her wedding dress over the dresser chair. And found Khan already sitting on the side of the bed. The man had taken a shower and changed clothes. The man watched his movements in silence.
"Em, I forgot my dress. So I put on the bathrobe available in the bathroom," Shanum said as he tightened the bathrobe he used with a slightly shaking hand.
Khan approached Shanum, reached out, and placed a finger under the girl's chin, raising her face. As soon as their gazes met, Khan knew he would not release Shanum even though the world exploded around them. He wanted to claim Shanum with an ardent desire that shocked himself.
"Just wear. Bathrobe is clean. And I don't think you need to change clothes anymore. Later also the clothes will be reopened by me," said Khan in a hoarse voice.
Shanum gulped his saliva, he was glued still. After a long moment that made his entire nerves stiffen, Shanum smiled nodding while revealing his timid face.
Khan negated the distance between their bodies, pulling Shanum docked, his thumb stroking the skin as soft as the petals of the flower.
Shanum's expression was a combination of courage and something more fragile, which made Khan feel very protective. "You ready?" his insistence.
The idea left Khan disappointed. Face groans. But he hid it. "If you ask, I cannot force you. I don't want any regrets, so I give it back to you to choose."
Shanum's eyes lit up. This man before her, this husband, gave the whole decision in his hands, although Shanum knew it was very torturing for him. Surprisingly Shanum felt a surge of desire creep in his blood. He became desirous of the man, and it was getting worse now, after hearing his pure sentence.
Shanum grabbed Khan's hand and squeezed it. "Do, Adri! I'm ready." Shanum can't squirm anymore.
The relief made Khan's chest expand. For a moment he was afraid that Shanum would change his mind. Khan launched a hand to the nape of Shanum, under his hair, and pressed his lips against Shanum's lips. Khan's body had already reacted with a desire that he knew could not wait any longer.
After finishing kissing Shanum, Khan distanced himself. "Don't worry, I'll be gentle, trust me."
Shanum smiled, trying to cover up his nervousness from Khan. But the man certainly knows. They were one soul, everything Shanum felt, if the girl did not close her access, Khan could easily read it.
The man guided Shanum to sit on the edge of the bed. Then he let go of Shanum's hand and turned to face him. Shanum's big eyes were wide open. Her lips were still swollen from the kiss.
Khan tried to control himself. Shanum is still plain. He was actually almost afraid to touch Shanum. Not sure if he could hold back. Khan swore without a sound. It's never been this tight. Even in a fight.
"Take off my clothes" Khan ordered gently. Again Shanum felt clumsy. He took a deep breath, then immediately exhaled it. Khan thought Shanum would refuse. But he eventually began to struggle with the buttons of the sleeping clothes that Khan was wearing, slowly taking off one by one. His fingers swept over Khan's hot skin with a caress as light as a feather.
Khan gritted his jaw. When he saw the tip of Shanum's tongue sticking out, and the way the girl bit her lower lip while concentrating, a thread of sweat appeared on Khan's forehead. Then as Shanum's tiny hands began to creep close to the rubber of his pants, the man held his breath.
Now, Khan felt he could not take it anymore. He grabbed the girl's hand, lifted the two and placed a kiss in the middle of each palm, making Shanum gasp loudly. Khan's treatment caused a warm feeling that bubbled in Shanum's blood.
Khan lowered Shanum's hand, then released his grasp. He stood up and took off the top of his nightgown, then let it fall to the floor.
Shanum's eyes were fixed intensely on Khan's chest. The girl's cheeks were red. Khan could see Shanum clenching one hand, as if he was holding back from touching it.
Then Khan pulled her up, opened Shanum's fist, and placed her in the middle of his own chest. "You can touch my body as you please, my wife," Khan whispered.
Shanum's touch was cold, but it caused a burning sensation that was hotter than even the most seductive touch. The girl looked up, looked at him, and Khan removed his own hand from Shanum's hand.
With hesitation, Shanum began his exploration. Tracing the muscles under Khan's skin. The man sizzled slowly.
"Did I hurt you?" ask the girl.
Khan shook his head and was gobsmacked by the uneventful anxious strokes on Shanum's face. "No. I feel exactly the opposite."
The hue on Shanum's face was clear. The girl's hand now moved downwards, sweeping Khan's stomach which looked like torn bread.
Shanum will torture him, Khan thought. The man held his breath. Then Shanum's tiny hands seemed to tremble and hesitate as he reached the waist of the man's trousers. Shanum looked up, looked at the man and shook his head. "I can't afford it. Sorry..."
Khan shook his head and cupped Shanum's jaw, raising his face. "There's nothing to forgive, dear."
Khan let Shanum go and said, "I want to see you. Open the bathrobe."
Shanum bit his lip, then moved his hand to untie the bathrobe and removed it slowly from his body.
Khan's fascinated. He had never seen a woman as evocative and sensual as his wife. Seeing Khan's astonished look at him, Shanum grew even more embarrassed. Shanum reflexively crossed to cover his body.
Gently, Khan lowered Shanum's hand.
"You are beautiful" said the man.
"Nobody has ever seen me like this. So I feel a sense of anger," Shanum said agitatedly.
"Even if anyone has seen it, believe me, that person must die!"
Shanum gawked, then rolled his eyes. "What if she's a woman?"
"That means the woman should swear to me never to remember what she has seen" Khan said in a stern voice.
"Huh, you possessive man."
An amused smile was seen on Shanum's lips. "But I would probably do the same thing, too, if another woman had seen my husband's body."
Hearing Shanum's words, the wild side within Khan skyrocketed. The man snarled, then let Shanum down on the bed. Shanum swallowed his saliva, his throat felt choked, feeling shocked.
"Lay down, honey." This time Khan's treatment was softer. The man tried to curb his wild side.
Not yet Khan. Your wife will run away if treated wildly in the first moment.
Slowly Shanum laid down his body. His gaze was locked on Khan. The man quickly took off the rest of his clothes, then went to lie down next to Shanum, his body tilted to face the girl.
Shanum did not dare to move, very aware of how nervous he was at the moment. Moreover, she realized that her husband had also taken off all his clothes.
Khan touched Shanum's stomach, stretched his fingers there and could almost cover the entirety of the girl's stomach in a stretch of his fingers. Shanum's abdominal muscles twitched under the pressure of his palms.
"I will make this beautiful for you, Shasha. Just trust me. Okay?"
Shanum nodded. Khan got up from his lying position. Now he rests on both hands on the bed. Khan lowered his head and went back to kissing the girl, long and deep. He raises Shanum's body as close as possible without making the girl accept his body weight.
Shanum was so soft and delicate, but the girl trembled under his touch, like a tense bow.
"Not to be afraid, my dear. I'm not gonna hurt you." Khan whispered softly in Shanum's ear.
Finally Shanum released all the fear in him and replaced it with trust. She believed in her husband's promise, believing that he would not be hurt. Shanum surrendered herself with sweet innocence to her husband.
They naturally coalesced seamlessly. Khan guides Shanum, and the girl follows all of Khan's directions. When that unification had occurred perfectly, a light moved around them. The light came from Shanum's necklace.
As the light appeared, Khan and Shanum felt a warmth bursting into their souls. And as the sense of it pervaded him, strands of ancient mantras reverberated from Khan's lips. Then it continued following from Shanum's lips.
Үүрд нэгдсэн. Бие болон сүнс нь хоорондоо холбоотой байдаг. Хэн ч шийдэж чадахгүй.
Shanum interpreted the words in his mother tongue and repeated them in his mind.
Forever united. The body and soul are bound to each other. No one can decide.
Khan's arms still clenched tightly onto Shanum's body as they moved rhythmically. And that light has been covering them ever since the spell was spoken.
Then the remnants of Khan's self-control were quickly lost by the way Shanum's body responded. The girl's feet tightly wrapped around her. And Khan didn't realize anything else, except the rapid beating of his heart.
The energy in that perfect union brought Khan deep into the air. And at one point, the two of them simultaneously growled. The light exploded and spread throughout the room, like a fireworks display exploding through the air.
Time seemed to stop, to witness the peak beauty of the unification of their souls. And when Khan walked the earth, he only realized that the event he had just experienced was extraordinary, delicious and intense.
Khan rolled to the side and saw Shanum's eyes closed. The girl no longer held tightly to Khan's arm, the girl's body looking limp. A cold sensation was felt in Khan, easing his passion, when he saw the tears dripping in the corner of his wife's eyes.
"Darling... Are you okay? Did I hurt you?"
