Chapter 10 - Bet

The next morning, Ru Shi finally left Mu Chang's room to visit hers for a shower and change. Since entering his room yesterday afternoon, neither had ventured out, spending the entire time together talking, laughing and m.a.k.i.n.g. .l.o.v.e.

She shook her head as she thought about the life she might have had with Feng Lu. She actually found herself grateful he had cheated on her before the wedding.

If he had not, she would never have realized how much more was possible. After she showered, she called Shen Ruyi, while she was dressing. She wanted to tell her everything that had happened over the past day.

"What's up?" Xiao Shen said as soon as she answered her Skype call. Ru Shi stared at the camera without saying anything for a moment. Where did she begin?

"What did you do?" Shen Ruyi finally asked her, grinning. She knew her friend. She could already tell there was something on her mind. "Okay, so I did it," she said as she laughed.

"Did what?" "With a stranger." "That happened? Details, girl!" she demanded. Ru Shi started telling her about everything from the time that she met Mu Chang right up until that morning.

Shen Ruyi stared at her friend in surprise. From a girl who wouldn't even sleep with her fiance whom she had known since childhood until marriage, she had moved to jump into an affair with a complete stranger! "I feel like this is all just some dream that I will wake from soon."

"Oh, my was he good?" Ru Shi was starting to blush. Shen Ruyi was agonizing over waiting for details. Ru Shi nodded.

"Like nothing I ever thought that I would experience," she confessed. "Whoa! YES! Bravo girlfriend! You needed to have some fun. Now enjoy your vacation and your s.e.xy mystery man, and take a damn picture of him!" Ru Shi started laughing.

She was definitely enjoying him. "I will," she promised. "So what is happening now?" "Well, I came in to have a shower and change."

"We're going horse riding!" "Well, that sounds like fun!" "I know, I cannot wait." Ru Shi loved horseback riding it was one of the things she loved doing with her dad.

"Wait! Did you use protection?" Shen Ruyi asked her.

"I'm on pills remember, you forced me to be on one when Grandpa Wang proposed I marry Feng Lu." Ru Shi was really grateful that she did!

" Yeah, I know but do you know if he has any diseases? " Ru Shi rolled her eyes at her friend. If Mu Chang has a disease then she wants to know what a healthy man looks like.

"Is there anything else?" Ru Shi asked her totally ignoring her question.

"You're getting bold! I like it! Let me know how your day goes. I will be anxiously awaiting an update." Shen Ruyi winked at her as Ru Shi laughed and shooked her head.

"Ok, I will, love." Ru Shi waved as she ended her call.

*****

The moment Ru Shi exited she saw Mu Chang waiting for her.

"I thought you would never come out." Mu Chang said as he kissed her lightly.

"You can't rush a lady."

"Where is the lady?" Mu Chang asked her while searching around.

She playfully pushed him as they laughed and exited the elevator.

"Do you even know how to ride?" Mu Chang asked doubtfully. "As a matter of fact, I do," she replied with her hands on her h.i.p.s. Mu Chang's piercing eyes could have question marks in the center of them he looked so unconvinced.

"Okay then," he said sardonically. "Do not say it like that," Ru shi pouted. "Like what?" "Your tone is so sarcastic." "No, it is not." Mu Chang had a smirk on his face. "You will see in a minute," Ru Shi said and smirked back at him. The guides brought their horses.

Their guide joined them as they readied to go. "Are you both ready?" he asked them. "Yeah, let's go!" Ru Shi replied enthusiastically. 

As they exited the stable area, heading out to the trails, Ru Shi who was unable to hold back any longer, turned to Mu Chang. "Hey!" she shouted at him. "What?" he asked. "Do you see my skills?" she asked him. He raised his eyebrows. "What skills?" he replied.

"You do not believe that I have skills? I will race you to the top of that hill," she told him pointing to arise. "And you will lose." "I will not!" "You will." "Let's see then. On the count of three."

"Wait, what's the catch?" Mu Chang asked what a grin on his face, he knew there was no way that she would win.

"What do you want?"

"Hmmm" Mu Chang acted like he was thinking when he already knew what he wants. Of course, he wants her.

"If I win, you would make me do whatever I want with you tonight," he said in a dangerous voice.

Ru Shi was so happy to race that she didn't pay attention to the warning in his voice.

"Ok, and if you lose I would own you for tonight."

"Ok, Kitten". He chuckled at her behavior.

Ru Shi was acting giddy, "One, two, three!" At three, both Ru Shi and Mu Chang sped off leaving the guide behind.

Ru Shi leaned forward, staring ahead, focused on the win. Normally, she could beat Shen Ruyi however, it was a different story with Mu Chang. He was on a much larger horse, easily passing her, and looking so relaxed as he sped past.

"No!" Ru Shi screamed. She knew he was going to gloat and tease her. And oh boy she was in a lot of trouble tonight. "That was an easy win," he said with a smirk on his face. "I almost won."

"You did not." "It was really close, Mu Chang, and you know it." "No, it really was not," he said, determined to get in the final word. Ru Shi opened, then closed her mouth, unsure what to say.

He had passed her with ease and she had wanted to show him she was good at something. Mu Chang surprised her by laughing. He saw she was good at riding, it had surprised him but it was still fun to tease her about it.

"What is so funny?" she asked him. She was shocked that he was laughing. "Nothing," he replied as he continued to chuckle. "What is so funny?" "It's just that, I think that was the first time you were speechless," he finally told her as he dismounted.

"Hey!" she complained as he reached to help her dismount. The horses were enjoying the grass as they stopped to nibble, while they admired the view.

"This place is nice," Ru Shi said as the breeze ruffled her hair. "It is," he replied, as she leaned against his c.h.e.s.t and he wrapped his arms around her. 

Hugging her, he could not help but notice how small she seemed in his arms. Kissing the top of her head, he was pleased she still smelled of roses. It really suited her. Ru Shi felt so relaxed in his arms. Strong and warm, he held her tightly against him.

Now she was starting to question her first impressions. Shen Ruyi had always warned her that she fell in love too quickly and while she realized that they had only known each other for a few days, she thoroughly enjoyed his company.

"So where did you learn to ride?" he asked. "My dad, he taught me." Ru Shi replied. "He must have been a great man." Ru Shi was the only daughter of her parents so they really pampered her.

She wonders what would have happened if they didn't die. "Yes, he was," she smiled sadly. When Mu Chang saw her sad face he changed the topic. "Hope you're ready for tonight, Kitten?"

He reminded her of their bet, oh the things he wanted to do to her. "Aaah?" Ru Shi now remembered their bet.

"What're you going to do?" She asked nervously. "Oh, Kitten do you really want to know? I'm going to let you c.u.m so hard that you will forget your name." Ru Shi blushed, turned to face him and pushed him away playfully.

"How can you say something like that," she asked. "But you love it when I talk dirty to you Kitten." He replied, smirking at her. "I don't! And wipe that smirk on your face." "I am not smirking. This is my normal face." Even though he denied it, he was still smirking. "Mu Chang!"

Ru Shi called out and pushed him. "Now, you are teasing me; it's not funny," she said. "It is a little bit funny," he teased.

After a while, they both mounted their horses and rode back to the stables under the watchful direction of their guide.

Ru Shi thanked the guide as her stomach grumbled. It was already past midday, as her stomach was so good at reminding them. "Let's get some lunch!" she suggested.
