NOTE: It's strange that it took so long for me to write a Jade Empire fic. I have a fierce love for the game that borders on the ridiculous and have made complete runthroughs of it more times than I can count. Nevertheless, here is my contribution to Jade Empire pr0n. Finally.


* * * * *


Minister Sheng groveled in front of the Imperial Throne, which was the right and proper way of doing things.

Strange and malicious rumours had spread through the Imperial City, but Minister Sheng was far too wise to believe any of them. The very idea that Empress Sun Lian the Heavenly Lily disapproved of her humble subjects debasing themselves in front of her was sheer lunacy. The Empress not demanding proper respect was like fish not demanding water. It was unthinkable.

And so it was that Minister Sheng gave his report to the Most Glorious Light of the Heavens in a slightly muffled voice, what with his face being pressed firmly against the floor and all.

However, before he had assumed the proper position, he could not have helped laying eyes on the Empress, May Her Reign Last A Thousand Years. It had been a complete accident, as he was sure his inevitable interrogators would understand, but it had happened anyway. In so doing he had learned, through no fault of his own, that one of the rumours circulating in the Imperial City was undeniably true.

Empress Sun Lian the Heavenly Lily was with child.

Actually, that wasn't the rumour, exactly. After all, the Palace had announced the most joyous news of She Who Outshines The Sun's happy expectancy some months ago. The Palace had also seen fit to inform the unworthy public that the Heavenly Lily's pregnancy was not in any way improper, even though she was unwed and no man shared her bed. The Celestial Bureacracy, feeling that the Sun dynasty had to atone for its sins, had decreed that the Brightest Star Of All would not be allowed to find happiness with any man, but, in recognition of the fact that the line must continue, had also gifted her with a child.

However, for some reason that Minister Sheng simply could not fathom, the lowly rabble had somehow got it into their heads that this perfectly reasonable explanation was not, in fact, true. Foolish gossip suggested that the Empress's delicate state was the result of some fling with a baseborn flyer mechanic or the outcome of some dark sorcery crafted so that she would not be forced to share her power with a husband.

Utter nonsense of course and Minister Sheng would have none of it; a fact which he was more than prepared to firmly declare no matter how tight the thumbscrew.

"Was that all?" the Voice That Could Command Mountains asked.

"Yes, Most Radiant One," Minister Sheng told the floor.

"In that case, you may leave."

Minister Sheng wondered if he should thank his Empress for her gracious dismissal, but decided against it. He did not want to be seen as some insufferable sycophant, after all. He gratefully rose to his feet. As he did so he accidentally lay eyes on the body of the Empress again. Mere seconds later, he saw She Who Moves The Heavens's bodyguard narrow her eyes at him. Minister Sheng shrieked in a most dignified manner and, bowing profusely, moved away from the throne with some haste.

"What a tiring little man," Lian sighed when she at last lost sight of the Minister.

All around her nobody but one had heard her. It was not the kind of thing an Empress said, so she had not said it, so they had not heard it.

"Some things never change, I suppose," Radiant Jen Zi, the only one who had heard her, remarked calmly.

"They should," Lian said. "How else am I going to return respect to my Empire?"

"I'm sure you'll find a way," Jen Zi said.

"I wish I shared your confidence."

Lian let her gaze sweep across her throne room, trying hard not to let distaste show on her face as she saw soldiers, servant girls and eunuchs with permanently downcast eyes.

"Since there are no others who requested an audience with me today, I shall now retire to my chambers," she announced loudly.

Nobody moved.

Sun Lian gave a mental shrug and rose from her throne. It wasn't as easy as it had been. Fortunately, Jen Zi took her hand and helped her to her feet. That was one of the better aspects of her pregnancy, she had to admit. Her lover could hold and support her out in the open without anybody giving it a second thought.

She had not planned to become pregnant so young. In fact, she had not planned to become pregnant at all. Oh, she had known in a way that one day her duty demanded of her that she invite a man into her bed, but she had never really thought of it. Had never really wanted to think of it.

Then one day, after her customary meditation, Radiant Jen Zi had spoken to her in a voice that had not been her own. Even in death the Water Dragon's hold on Jen Zi's heart was tighter than her own would ever be. Talking through her lover's mouth, the Shepherd of the Dead had made Lian an offer. One she couldn't refuse. Even though she had enough power to perform her most basic functions, the Water Dragon needed a physical body to fulfill all her duties. She needed Lian to bring her new body into the world.

So now she was pregnant with a goddess. Or perhaps a girl who going to become the goddess. Something like that in any case. Lian wasn't a theologian, but so long as she wasn't incubating a dragon's egg she didn't really care.

Lian gratefully sat down on her bed as Jen Zi quietly closed the door. This was the only room in the entire palace guaranteed to be free from servants and courtiers. Even the various chapels and shrines strewn throughout the palace could not be counted on to provide some quiet and solitude since there would always be some priest or some noble who had bribed a priest. It was a better state of affairs than when her father had held the palace, but it was tiring. Fortunately, here, in her rather extravagant bedchambers, she could be alone. With her companion, of course.

"How are you feeling?" Jen Zi asked.

"I'm fine," Lian replied.

"Not tired or anything?" Jen Zi asked as she sat down next to her.

"No. Like I said, I'm fine."

"Can I get you anything? Something to drink, something to eat?"

"No. And even if I did, I have servants for that sort of thing."

"Sorry," said Jen Zi. "I guess I can't help but worry."

Lian put a reassuring hand on Jen Zi's. "I appreciate that. But I want you to keep in mind that you're not my mother."

Jen Zi looked at Lian's large belly and smiled. "I'll remember that."

Lian saw her lover's warm smile and felt some naughty thoughts enter her mind. That was another strangely enjoyable thing about her current state. Ever since she'd become pregnant she'd been... more aware of her body. And far more aware of all the things she liked Jen Zi doing to it.

"You know, there is something you could do for me."

Jen Zi looked up to her. Her face was a picture of innocence, but there was hint in her dark eyes of... something else. "Of course. Name it."

Lian slipped her dress off her shoulders, exposing her chest and her large, swollen breasts. "It's getting to be that time again," she said. "Would you mind?"

Jen Zi reached out and cupped one of her breasts. She squeezed gently, forcing a small trickle of milk from the nipple. "Of course."

Lian smiled as Jen Zi leaned in towards her. She'd begun lactating about last week, though she hadn't known it at the time. What she had known was that her breasts were really starting to hurt. Much to her embarrassment, Jen Zi had figured out the problem before she had. Still, the solution she had offered had done much to wipe that embarrassment away. Very much.

Lian shivered with delight when she felt her lover's lips close around her nipple. Her breasts had always been sensitive and now even more so. As her milk began to flow into Jen Zi's mouth she felt pleasure beginning to fill her body even as lust descended across her mind. Jen Zi didn't just drink from her, although that was more than enough, but her tongue played and frolicked across her flesh for no other reason than to stimulate her.

Closing her eyes, Lian moaned quietly as she pressed Jen Zi closer to her chest. She wanted Jen Zi to drink from her for as long as possible. To fill her entire body with her lifegiving milk. She almost regretted asking Jen Zi to tend to her breasts now. They hadn't been nearly full enough to become uncomfortable. But after too long a day where she had been so nearby and yet so far away, Lian had needed to feel Jen Zi close to her. And she never felt closer than when she suckled her. Which was why she only almost regretted asking.

The flow lessened and stopped. Lian opened her eyes and looked down to see Jen Zi take her lips away from her flesh. She shivered when the young fighter's tongue poked out of her mouth to lap up the few drops trickling from her nipple. Jen Zi looked up at her and smiled impishly. Without ever taking her eyes off Lian's face she moved across her chest where her mouth opened to tend to her other breasts.

Lian moaned when her milk began to flow once more. With every mouthful Jen Zi swallowed her arousal grew tenfold until her entire body might as well have been on fire. Still Jen Zi drank with infuriating calm and patience, apparently oblivious to the moans of her Empress becoming louder and louder. Without really thinking about what she was doing, Lian put her hand on her curving stomach, then seemed to hesitate between moving it up and down for a moment before deciding to move it across her exposed skin and caress her free breast. Between emptying one breast into Jen Zi and playing with the other, the need for more became almost unbearable. True, she loved giving Jen Zi her milk in a number of ways, but her lust burned hotly and she knew she couldn't climax from just being drunk from. The tip her already great pleasure into a lustful release she would have to direct her lover's attentions elsewhere, but she didn't want to simply because being milked by her companion felt so very good.

A whine very nearly escaped Lian's lips, but even if it had escaped it would have been quickly smothered by Jen Zi's. Radiant Jen Zi kissed her deeply, hotly, and Lian could taste her own milk on her lips and tongue. From the desperate way she kissed her, Lian could tell that her lover was almost aroused as she was, though that was no great surprise. Lian put a hand on Jen Zi's still clothed chest, then moved it down her lithe body until it found the hardness between her legs.

That had been something of a surprise all those months ago. Perhaps it had been necessary, perhaps it had been the Water Dragon's idea of a joke. Regardless of the reason, the Water Dragon had changed her last Spirit Monk to be the conduit for her impregnantion. The surprise hadn't lasted very long and now entire days went by where she didn't really think about the fact that Jen Zi wasn't like other girls. If she did think of it, she only thought about how lucky she was to have such an exceptional woman in her bed and how she regretted not being able to offer her the same unique experience in return.

Lian began stroking Jen Zi's member through the light blue fabric of her panties. She gasped quietly with a familiar lust and her kiss became sketchy and irregular as her body moved on its own pleasure.

"I need you."

Lian didn't know if the whispered phrase had passed her own lips or Jen Zi's. In either case, it didn't matter.

Jen Zi managed to push herself away from her and, with some difficulty managed to remove the rest of Lian's clothes. Lian moved further onto the bed, feeling a bit disappointed that there was absolutely no way she could make herself look sexy. But, if the look of naked lust in her eyes was anything to judge by, Jen Zi didn't care. The sight of her pregnant body aroused her no matter how it moved. It felt good to be so appreciated.

Jen Zi stood up and took her clothes off, practically ripping them away. Lian let her eyes wandered up and down her gorgeous body. She had supple muscles in all the right places, breasts that were still firm, a stomach that was still flat, a hard cock and a glistening pussy. Lian could feel jealous because she no longer had a body like that, but didn't. After all, in many ways, she still did have a body like that.

Lian watched Jen Zi kneel on the bed and move between her legs. She had expected her to enter without delay, but instead her head all but disappeared underneath the swell of her stomach. Moments later, Lian shrieked when she felt Jen Zi's lips press against her folds. Perhaps she had decided that, after drinking from her breasts, the day would not be complete without drinking from her pussy as well. Lian couldn't say for sure and had no intention at all to ask Jen Zi for her motivations right now. Instead her shrieks turned to moans as her lover's nimble tongue slid into her. Pleasure flared through her body again, but this was not the intimate pleasure Jen Zi had given when she had been attending her breasts. This was a raw, animal kind of pleasure and Lian's body responded in kind, shivering and bucking, her moans nearly becoming growls.

So big was her pleasure, so intense was her lust, that Lian didn't even notice when Jen Zi withdrew her tongue and her stiff member entered her. Only when she had been penetrated entirely and her body rocked with the rhythm of Jen Zi's fucking did she look out from behind the veil of lust and saw her face. Jen Zi's eyes were dark, her smiling lips stained with her juices, but her expression was not of one lost in her own pleasure, but of one who saw another's pleasure and enjoyed it greatly. It was probably the complete opposite of the expression on Lian's face.

Lian bit down on her lower lip to stop from screaming. Every time Jen Zi thrust into her pleasure shook her body and every time she was surprised that this thrust wasn't the one to send her over the edge. She was filled so deeply she was amazed she didn't burst with lust. Jen Zi kept fucking her, quickly yet never quite roughly. Lian stopped biting her lip, but didn't scream. She didn't even moan. Pleasure choked her chest and she could gasp as her lover filled her with more and more.

For a single moment, Empress Sun Lian stopped breathing. For a single moment, her whole body was still.

Then, coming from somewhere deep inside of her, a groan escaped from her throat. A shiver ran through her pregnant body as she finally came and all that built-up pleasure washed over her and out of her. Jen Zi's rhythmic thrusts stopped as her pussy clamped down on her shaft. For minutes, hours, centuries Lian came, experiencing one wave of liberating pleasure after another until she was finally spent.

Lian felt Jen Zi pull out of her and soon saw her face in front of her own as she lay down next to her. Lian tiredly raised a hand and stroked her lover's cheek.

"Sorry," she breathed.

Jen Zi smiled beautifully. "For what?"

"That you didn't..."

Jen Zi took her hand and kissed it. "That's not why I did it."

"I know, but... I'll make it up to you later."

Jen Zi kissed her forehead. "If the Empress of the Jade Empire insists, who am I to refuse?"

Lian smiled. "My Radiant Jen Zi," she said.
