Chapter 494: Temptation (2/2)

”Don't worry, that annoying third wheel won't be back for a while.”

Bingxin had left for the station to conduct the autopsy. The thought of just the two of us in a hotel room had my ears flushed and throat dry with desire.

Xiaotao jumped out of bed. ”I'll take a shower. Wait for me.”

A few minutes later came the sound of running water. I turned on the TV, trying to calm my pounding heart. The atmosphere in the hotel was more suggestive than at home. I pondered how to break the ice when Xiaotao returned.

With how busy we both were, the notion of leisure time was wishful thinking. I had to seize every opportunity.

Taking a few deep breaths, I gradually regained composure. At this moment, the sounds from the bathroom came to an abrupt stop. Xiaotao walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, wet hair slightly curled and draped over her slender back. Her skin was still stained with moisture, cheeks red like apples. There was nothing more alluring than a beautiful woman after a shower.

”Good boy, you didn’t chicken out,” chuckled Xiaotao.

”A-am I such a coward?” I stammered in reply.

Xiaotao climbed into the bed and patted the space next to her, ”Come over here!”

After a moment’s hesitation, I did as she asked. With her head on my chest, Xiaotao snuggled in my arms, grabbed the remote control from my hand, and carelessly changed the channel.

”Your heart is beating so quickly,” remarked Xiaotao.

Only then did I notice she was listening to my heartbeat. However, I wasn’t sure what to say. Looking up at me, she asked, ”Why are you always so nervous when you’re with me?”

I was suddenly reminded of a phrase. ”Because from the first time I saw you until now, you have always been a dazzling goddess in my eyes.”

”What a sweet talker!”

She leaned in and stuck her lips to mine. As soon as I met her soft, flexible tongue, my body responded involuntarily. There were two different voices fighting fiercely in my head, and finally I was overcome by desire.

I flipped her over, pinning her down on the bed. Xiaotao blushed with expectation and uneasiness, her mood mirroring my own.

My hands held Xiaotao's shoulders, unmoving for about ten seconds. Although I had previously watched porn, I wasn’t sure where to start.

My brain went blank.

”Idiot!” Xiaotao laughed.

Should we forget it...

The sentence danced around in my throat, but I fought the impulse to speak the words. This time, I had to stick it out till the end.

Plucking up my courage, I reached for her towel. Xiaotao moved her legs uneasily, her smooth calves rubbing against my thigh, but there was no sign of resistance. The unique scent of her body tantalized the senses, making my blood boil, and my courage surged. I slowly peeled off the towel, exposing the soft, snow-like skin underneath.

”Will it hurt?” Xiaotao asked in a low voice.

”If it does, I’ll stop!” At this point, I didn’t even know what I was saying.

”Silly!” giggled Xiaotao.

Blood rushed all over my body, my cheeks boiling hot as impulse dominated me. I couldn't wait to remove my clothes and reveal my slender body. Xiaotao suddenly clutched at my chest and whispered, ”Get the condom.”

”Okay!”

I quickly got out of bed and pulled out a box of condoms, unpacked them, and held the slippery rubber. After living for twenty-four years, I still didn't know how to use it...
