Chapter 15 - I Am The Only One Who Can Protect You

Inwardly, Ethan was quite embarrassed that she was going to check out his body and decided to flex his muscles on purpose.

'Can't miss a good opportunity…' He thought and hoped that years of exercise would finally pay off.

He also didn't know if he should enjoy the feeling of her soft buttocks pressing down on his nether region, but he knew things would get dangerous fast if his little brother woke up from its slumber and might do something stupid.

Ethan wasn't surprised by her actions since, from time to time, she would do things like this if he didn't listen to her. In the rare chance he got late to her classes, she would tie him to a wooden post in her home as punishment for skipping her class and made him watch her practice her moves with the reason that she was making up for the class he missed while punishing him at the same time.

This was why Nolan hurriedly came to warn Ethan to quickly get to his home before his sister punished him for getting late, and there were many other such incidents. But despite her eccentric behavior, he didn't feel intimidated but instead felt even more interested in getting closer with a woman like her.

She was different from the pretentious girls at college who ignored him the moment he got in trouble, unlike Sui, who still cared about him in a different way. He knew she was asking this because she was worried about him, though her ways of asking were quite strange.

Sui grabbed the ends of his shirt as she slowly rolled it upwards, revealing his rock-hard abs that made her freeze her gaze for a moment as if she was admiring a divine sculpture.

She removed one of her hands from his shirt as she used the other to roll up his shirt till his neck, revealing the rest of his masculine upper body with exercise-honed muscles. His fair red skin seemed to be stretched tight by exercise, and her free hand began to brush over and slightly press on his abs as if she was inspecting his bare body.

'Fuck…why are her hands so soft…' Ethan felt his heart rate rising as her fingernails scratched against his six-pack abs and didn't expect her to touch his body like that. And looking at her expressionless face, he wondered how she was doing all this without any signs of embarrassment. After all, he was a grown-up man, and she was a grown-up woman. And a woman stroking a man's body in the middle of the night was surely not something normal people do, especially if they were only friends.

This made him ask, "What are you trying to do?"

As if she already expected him to ask such a question, she immediately answered, "I have to check if there is swelling on your body, no matter how small it is. Your body won't be able to hide them from me."

This answer made Ethan swallow his saliva as he wondered how much longer he would have to endure this pleasurable torture.

As she pressed them, she could feel how strong and hard his abs were, making her breath quicken in slow increments while her cold blue eyes seemed to slip into another world.

She was now using both her palms to slowly caress his toned manly body while slightly applying pressure as if to check his body for any bruises, though for Ethan, it was driving his thoughts crazy.

Her soft hands slowly moved upwards and pressed over his firm pecs and even knowingly or unknowingly brushed her fingernails over his nipples, making his muscles tense up, especially his lower member that seemed to stir awake!

'Why are her hands turning me on like this…' Ethan was increasingly getting worried since he was trying his best to calm down his little brother, that was getting more and more excited as her tender labia was sitting right atop his unruly little brother.

'She isn't wearing any panties? Or am I imagining things??' Ethan was surprised to feel such softness slightly pressing onto his secret weapon and wondered if a girl like her would really go all commando like that.

However, he was too worried about his little brother to notice the faint pink hue slowly spreading across Sui's delicate cheeks.

Still, Ethan dug his nails into the bed as he tried to lower down his little dragon before, preventing it from fully rising up.

"Okay, that should be enough! You already saw how I have no bruises or swelling on my body," Ethan hurriedly said as he grabbed her wrists and stopped her from touching his body any longer.

Sui's lips pressed together firmly when he suddenly stopped her. Still, as she regained some clarity of mind, she did see that he had no bruises or swelling on his body.

This made her feel puzzled since she was sure Nolan wouldn't spout nonsense to her regarding things like this. Still, now that she didn't have any reasons to question him, she got off his body with her lips pressed together.

Ethan saw how her expression seemed a bit down, making him think that it was because she was unable to bust him and inwardly let out a sigh of relief, especially since his little brother was almost at the breaking point and was this close to entering the forbidden land.

He then slowly sat up on the bed as he asked, "Why did you suddenly ask me that? Did someone tell you something?" He was really feeling suspicious about Nolan at this point.

Sui continued to stare at him as she said, "It doesn't matter."

She then slowly crawled towards him and rested her arm on the headboard, her face dangerously close to his, making Ethan's breath quicken as she continued in a feathery tone, "But what matters is that if somebody hurts you, you should tell me. I am the only one who can keep you safe and protect you. You know that, right?"

Her feline blue eyes seemed to be sucking in his soul as she continued to stare at him while he could feel her cold breath brushing against his face. And as if in a daze, he answered, "Yes…I know."

Sui took a deep breath as she said, "Good. I am the only one you can trust. Whenever you have something troubling you, you have to tell me. I will take care of it for you."

Ethan felt moved that Sui was willing to do that much for him, though he wanted to know why. Was she doing it for him as a friend or…

"But if you lie to me, then I won't forgive you easily. Okay?" Sui said, her tone still sweet and low, though Ethan felt as if something seemed off about the way she said it but couldn't put his finger on it.

Still, this made him remember something and say, "Wait…That's not fair. If I am to tell you about my troubles, then you have to tell me yours too!"
