Chapter 37: Checkmate (*)

"Xu Yue…" Liu Ye called after Xu Yue just as they returned back to her office but she didn't respond, stopping with her back facing him. "Talk to me." 

He reached out to her wrist to turn her around only to be suddenly attacked as she counter grabbed his arm and wrapped herself around his head. Her deep kiss was full of anger and frustration. 

"Did you really think you could leave me after you finally accepted me?" Xu Yue questioned while pulling away ever so slightly and returned back to their passionate kiss. 

She was irrepressible and so intense that it was finally Liu Ye's turn to get overwhelmed. Her tongue mashed against him roughly, as if trying to flatten and destroy his mouth. 

"Xu Yue…" Liu Ye repeated but his speech was broken again by her impenetrable desire melting into his mouth. Even when he tried to pull away from the pin against the door, Xu Yue jumped and wrapped her legs around his waist, giving her total control over his body. 

In no way could he get rid of her without hurting her so Liu Ye walked blindly behind her desk and dropped them to the floor. He could only give her what she wanted until she calmed down. 

Mhmm!

Xu Yue moaned with their lips locked together and her arms roaming wildly. One hand brushed through his hair while the other trailed down his plain black shirt in hopes to take it off. Xu Yue acted as if she wouldn't stop unless she ate him right there on the spot.

Even though they had a long break, it wasn't their first rodeo. The funny coincidence was the exact spot on the floor which was their most common spot to unleash their desires. Liu Ye knew he would find it hard to resist again if he let Xu Yue lead to such a situation. 

"Ah… Yes… Take what's yours…" Xu Yue whispered in pleasure when Liu Ye slid down and sank his lips into her neck. His palm was already gripping her thigh before spilling under her loose summer dress.

It was her habit of changing from her tight black dresses into open skirts when she reached home. No one knew though it was to give Liu Ye easier access to her body if they met secretly in her office. 

"We still need to talk..." Liu Ye reminded as he lurked back to taste her lips. "I made this decision thinking about us. If I return, your father won't let me go anymore. He will make sure—"

"Shhh…" Xu Yue shushed him with a kiss. "Did you forget what I told you? The order in the whole world will change within a week. You won't need to worry about anything when that happens. We will leave and free ourselves from my father. It will be only me, you, and Zhenzhen." 

"We don't have a week," Liu Ye replied in doubt. "They bounty hunters will come after us by tomorrow." 

"We do and we will survive, together. All we need is a week and our problem will be over," Xu Yue promised while pulling him closer for another kiss. "Trust me. I wouldn't do anything that could endanger yours or Zhenzhen's life." 

She scratched the back of his head and hugged him tightly. "You are safe with me. You don't need to run away." 

"Your words are reassuring but the reality is often unpredictable," Liu Ye replied with a sigh and pulled away, staring into her eyes full of uncertainty. He could only choose one path and later take care of its consequences. 

He was already scanning all the pros and cons for the tenth time when Xu Yue delivered a killing blow, crushing his thoughts completely. 

"Leave if you want but the moment you step out of this house, I'm going to follow you. If you think you can get rid of me then you are deeply mistaken." 

Xu Yue was the only person in this house he knew well enough to entrust her with Zhenzhen's safety. If she left, he couldn't leave Zhenzhen which would ruin the whole point. 

Checkmate. 

"You know I always do whatever I think is right and I already decided what I want," Xu Yue continued while caressing Liu Ye's face. "I want you." 

"I will stay then," Liu Ye decided right away. "But I want to know everything. I want to know what change you are talking about. If you don't tell me, I will not touch you for a whole week until I find out myself." 

Xu Yue squinted her eyes. "Are you really blackmailing me with your body?" 

"Yes," Liu Ye nodded shamelessly. "You want me while I want peace of mind. The trade is fair."

"Fine," Xu Yue agreed, but under her terms. "I will talk while you continue." 

Hmm?

He gazed at her confused but she didn't explain and only pointed down alongside her body. 

"You are down bad," Liu Ye commented, causing her to smile. 

"Thank you for the compliment." 

He leaned down to bite on her lip as punishment and slipped down, taking off her shoulder straps with him. Her summer dress slowly lowered as it followed his trail of kisses before finally revealing her ample breasts. Xu Yue barely used bras as her own chest was perky enough to fit perfectly into all the tight dresses she had.

"They are just as you left them…" Xu Yue muttered while brushing through his hair. "No one has touched them after you."

"Talk," Liu Ye ordered while grasping her breast and twisting her nipple for stalling. 

He was bluffing since he couldn't help but admit he missed that sensation. Just like Xu Yue, he didn't date nor did he meet with any other women after he left. As a 20 years old male, he was already restraining his desires from going out of control. 

"Mhmm… You see, I still can't tell you all the details but I can share more…" Xu Yue began as soft moans escaped from her mouth. "I was chosen by certain people to join their project… I won't tell you the criteria but know that I'm one of their main candidates…" 

When Liu Ye's tongue stretched around her nipples and he started sucking greedily, Xu Yue's body began to tremble. Her chest was extremely sensitive, causing her to surrender to him with just a simple touch. If she didn't bite on her lips, her moans would definitely alarm Zhenzhen who was still studying next door. 

"Ah… You are like a baby…" Xu Yue commented softly, clearly loving it as she kept pressing on his head. She enjoyed herself too much whenever he went down on her. 

"What does this have to do with the change?" Liu Ye questioned, snapping her back to reality. 

"I can't tell you…" Xu Yue replied with a sigh. "Wait till tomorrow and you will understa— Hey, don't stop." 

"If you tell me, I will go lower," Liu Ye tempted as he leaned down and pulled up her dress which revealed her sexy underwear. 

"Hmm…" Xu Yue hesitated, biting her lip again. "I don't know how to explain it but even if I want to tell you, I can't. The people that I told you about are a mysterious bunch. They placed a lock on my mind preventing me from sharing anything crucial for a whole week after Avatar Online's launch." 

"A lock?" Liu Ye squinted his eyes. He already expected that Avatar Online was somewhat connected with Xu Yue's secrets but this was something different. 

"Uhmm… Let's say it's like hypnosis. It blocks me from spilling the secrets," Xu Yue explained further. "I could already feel it work when I thought of telling you everything." 

Xu Yue sat down weakly and caressed his cheek with a smile. "All you have to do is play the game with me and you will figure it out on your own. If you feel like that's not enough, you don't need to spoil me. I barely told you anything." 

"You can't even blink for yes or no when I ask you a question?" Liu Ye asked curiously. "Will the game somehow influence real life?" 

Xu Yue tried to nod only to shiver all over. "I can't. It paralyzes me all over. Don't ask me anymore…" 

"It's okay. I'm satisfied that you told me this much already," Liu Ye assured and rewarded her with a kiss. She thought that was it when Liu Ye surprised her by diving down.

Ah!

Her moan this time broke the limits and she quickly covered her mouth, trying to hold back from making any noises. Xu Yue still grasped him by the hair and pressed his face under her skirt to bring her the forbidden pleasures. 

Liu Ye's ears were locked as Xu Yue's thighs squeezed him tightly but after a moment, she suddenly released him as if in panic. 

"Big Bro? Why are you laying on the floor?"
