Chapter 337 - The scavenger hunt 3 (1/2)

”Shishi, please tell me it's not that. You are just joking with me.”

”Quite.” Wang Shi said, walking towards her. Honey jumped down from the tree and reached to get something from the backpack.

She sprang up. ”Is it on my head? Help.”  She shouldn't have sat under the tree. Wasn't a tree bark a perfect breeding ground for insects? Squealing, she jumped on her feet, leaping straight into Wang Shi's arms. ”Take it down. It will eat me up. Shishi..... shrug it off!” gasping for air, she felt him dusting on her hair, her shoulder. Her hand clasped tightly around his waist. ”Is it gone?”

”Easy.” he turned her and dusted her back. ”I'm looking for it--”

”IT WENT INSIDE MY CLOTHES?” Suyin couldn't stop the shriek that tore from her throat, unbuttoning her clothes, her feet prancing against the ground. ”GET IT OUT! WHERE IS IT? GET THE FUC* OUT! SHISHI--”

His one hand slides against her abdomen, while the other holds the shirt close. ”WHAT ARE YOU--” but he hauls her up, dragging her into the deep forest. She heard water crashing against the rocks, her eyes registered the mini waterfall.

The next moment, he jumped. Loud and splashy.

...

Fear, panic. At least it was that way for Suyin until she realized it was just shallow water, up to the waist. With his arm wrapped around her, he hauled her to the rock, keeping her covered under his c.h.e.s.t.

”Are you all right?” His warm breath tickled against her ear as he whispered.

”L-Lizard.”

”Don't move. Stay still. I'm checking.” he pressed his lips to her ear, hands sliding under her shirt, grazing her b.a.r.e skin. Suyin's breath hitched, muscles tightened.

For God's sake, he was just checking for a lizard. Why was she turning into a heap of liquid? Wasn't the water around enough.

Drenched, the barrier of clothes between them holds no meaning. ”S-Shi--” She wondered if he could see the goosebumps rising on her flesh as clearly as her. Does he know what's happening to her body under his touch? Bet he knows.

Wang Shi doesn't glance at her body but holds her gaze as he slowly trails his fingers up the side of her b.r.e.a.s.t. ”Not here. It probably is out,” he said, withdrawing his hands.

Suyin held his hands at her waist, as if asking him not to withdraw. He frowned, waiting for her next move. She shifted a higher in his arms, sliding his hand down to rest at the side of her h.i.p.s. He firmed his muscles.

”This--You can't.” It's the forbidden area. He remembers what happened last time when he touched her there.

”You can. Check here too.” She bit her lips, hiding the shiver that went down her spine. But the way her back arched, she's certain he noticed.

”It's not here. I'm sure.” His words differ his body language as he lets out a low sound from his throat when her lips brushed at the crook of his neck which he tried to hide behind by a cough.

”But I'm not. Do it. Something is tickling me here.”

”Suyin--”

They heard a commotion coming from the forest. Sound of leaves scrunching under foot.

”Is that Honey? Or other teams following--”

”Shhh---” with one arm holding her by the waist, he leads her to the waterfall. It was like a natural alcove built by the nature, curtained by the waterfall. He first checks the place for any hidden insect and then gently sets her down on his l.a.p. ”Just stay here with me. Don't make any sound.”

Fear advancing and she wiggled, almost in tears, her grasp tightening around his neck.

”Ok ok..... let me see.”

He pitched closer, swaddling her legs on his l.a.p. Her eyelids scrunched as he lets his hands on her upper t.h.i.g.hs, drifting upward to feel around the h.i.p.s. She felt him pausing at her right hip, feeling something with fingers.
