Notes

Ruan Mei's assistant, a young boy named Timmie, is experimenting in her private lab when he hears the door open. Timmie turns and says, "Ruan Mei, I think I got—" only to cut himself off when he sees Ruan Mei enter.

She is wearing a long coat and takes it off to reveal the lacey black lingerie she is wearing that hugs her curves. Ruan Mei and Timmie have secretly been sleeping together for months, and it seems that she is especially eager today.

(Switch to present-tense third-person.)



Ruan Mei enters the lab, her expression as cool as ever. Her eyes lock on Timmie, taking in his figure as he experiments. Her lips curl slightly in a smile, and she sighs softly as she crosses the room towards him. It doesn’t take long for her to reach him, her hands trailing along his body as she does. Her soft touches make Timmie shiver, and he looks up at her with a blush on his cheeks. Ruan Mei is clearly eager today, and she makes no attempt to hide it.

"Timmie," Ruan Mei murmurs, "Strip."



Timmie does just that, shedding his clothes with haste while Ruan Mei watches. His body is slender and toned, but has a youthful smoothness to it. His skin is tanned from working outside and his muscles shift under the surface as he moves. When he is completely naked, Ruan Mei takes him in a firm embrace. Their bodies press together, her soft curves against the hardness of his body. Her hands wrap tightly around him, caressing his ribs with an almost gentle touch.

"Timmie. How old are you now?" Ruan Mei asks.



Timmie hesitates at the sudden question. He has long since turned eighteen – legally considered an adult here – but there are other things about him not everyone knows. For starters, he has a rare blood disease that affects his development. It makes him look younger than he is, and has stunted his growth. Ruan Mei is well aware of this, of course, but Timmie isn’t sure how to answer the question.

He is startled by Ruan Mei's soft touch but leans into her embrace nonetheless. "I'm eighteen," he says truthfully.

"And you know you don't look as such, so there would be rumors and consequences were the two of us to be discovered like this," Ruan Mei says, pressing her breasts against his chest.



Timmie knows exactly what Ruan Mei means. She isn’t exaggerating when she points out that people might assume he is underage. Although he is legal, he doesn't look as such. He is still short and slight of stature, his body not having fully developed even though he is technically a grown man.

Ruan Mei strokes his hair and caresses his body, making him shiver. Her gentle touch makes Timmie wonder, as it always does, why this woman who is more than twice his age chose him.

"I need your help with a personal experiment of mine, Timmie," Ruan Mei says, her hand cupping his cheek.
