Chapter 57 - Lost In The Fire 18+

"Are you okay?" Long Jie asked again.

"Yes," Song Luli breathed with her lips slightly opened. Her heart began to pound against her chest, drumming fiercely.

"Do you want to do some tricks?" Long Jie asked her.

Song Luli's lips curled. "What can we do?" she asked him.

"You swim from one end, and I will swim from the other. We will meet in the middle; you will dive through my arms when I shape it like a circle," Long Jie said.

Song Luli nodded. "All right. It seems simple enough."

They both went to opposite ends of the pool when Song Luli pushed herself from the tiled-walls, giving her a head start. Underneath, they swam in the same direction where Long Jie circled his arms for her to go through. And instead of swimming past, Long Jie caught her, tightening his grip around her.

Song Luli was already not breathing, but when he kissed her, she felt like diving deeper. His eyes blazed like wild flames, locking with her stunned, wide eyes. Her black hair floated around them, as she sunk backward, while he hovered above her with an arm wrapped around her waist, and a hand holding hers.

After a moment, Long Jie swam back above the surface of the water with her. Song Luli gasped deeply, trying to catch up on her breathing. She still felt the heat lingering on her lips. She glanced at Long Jie, panting. Long Jie responded by smiling slyly, and Song Luli gritted her teeth. He tricked her!

Upset, she attacked him, but it was no use since he captured her in his arms, and she was undefeatable against his strength. She seemed like a loose fish to him, trying to escape. "Stop moving," he breathed against her neck.

"If I stop, I'll sink," she responded, dazed.

"Then circle your legs around my waist and hold onto me," he said to her, intimately. Song Luli shivered, not wanting to meet the blaze in his eyes, worried that she would get lost in the fire.

She listened to him, wrapping her legs around him. He gripped her thighs, securing her. Long Jie swam to the edge of the pool, enclosing her. "Do you want to tell me why you were upset?" he asked her.

Song Luli looked away, puffing her cheeks.

He leaned in closer, and she felt his warmth. He slid a hand from her knee to her inner thigh, tracing circles with his fingers just below a part of her body that ached for him. Her face burned, feeling his heated stare.

"Your relentless," she said, not facing him.

Long Jie bent down to kiss her collarbone, so Song Luli gripped his shoulders, tilting her head back, closing her eyes. He took his time, conveying his worries, wanting her open up, but not quite forcing her.

He stopped after some time, pecking her forehead gently. "Let's go," he said. And for a split second, Song Luli caught his expression before he turned away--sad and dejected.

She caught his arm, gripping it tightly; her nails nearly dug into his skin. He paused, turning to face her.

She hung her head low, afraid to admit how she was feeling.

He offered her a small smile. "You don't have to tell me anything," he said.

Song Luli raised her head. Her eyes moved with surprise. "Your Colleague, Miss Mao, she made me feel like I had no part being here with you. I felt like a nuisance."

Long Jie narrowed his eyes. He lifted her chin, gazing at her deeply. "I'm sorry she made you feel that way. It's my fault."

Song Luli shook her head immediately, "It's not. I am foolish for feeling this way."

Long Jie knitted his brows. "Your feelings are yours; don't dismiss them as foolish," he said.

Song Luli pursed her lips, feeling emotional. "I understand that I don't know much about your work, but that doesn't mean I don't want to learn," she continued.

Long Jie unconsciously lifted a hand, brushing her face with his thumb. "Why do you think I brought you here?" he asked her.

Song Luli widened her eyes.

"It's not just because I didn't want to separate from you for a couple of days. I want you to be a part of Long Group," he said.

Song Luli embraced him, leaning her head on his chest, squeezing tight. "I'll work hard," she responded.

"I'm sure you will," he said affectionately. It caught her breath.

She couldn't help but say, "Long Jie?"

"Mhm?"

"I don't understand you," she said.

Long Jie arched a brow. "Why?" he questioned softly. He was genuinely curious. Shouldn't they know each other better by now?

"Why do you treat me so...dotingly," she said, feeling embarrassed by her question.

"Isn't it obvious?" his compelling voice rang.

Song Luli stilled, unsure about his underlying meaning. She slowly faced him, skeptically.

Long Jie pressed his forehead against hers. His glacier blue eyes resonated. "I like you," he admitted.

Song Luli's soft brown eyes widened in shock. What?

Her heart began to thump out of her ears. Her breathing deepened as she gazed at Long Jie's enticing lips. She heard him panting as she heard herself.

She wanted to fight it.

But it would hurt her more if she denied her feelings. She liked Long Jie; there was no point in denying it. But to be in love, she wasn't sure yet. But some part of her was willing to try to get there.

It may be foolish of her to plunder into the depths of romance again, but if it's with Long Jie, she may want to be that jester.

Song Luli circled his neck as she climbed his body to kiss him on the lips.

The splash of water could be heard as Long Jie gripped Song Luli, trying to keep her close as their mouths collided. She was desperate for him. Long Jie had her up against the walls of the pool, kissing her carefully and frenzied at the same time.

Long Jie's hands teased her thighs under the water. Song Luli clenched them, gasping against his cruel lips. He didn't give her a chance to speak as he kept returning to her mouth and only breaking it to take short breaths.

"Not here, someone can walk in," she said.

But Long Jie didn't listen. He glided his fingers upward. "Not here," she said again. Long Jie had to stifle his desire, stepping away from her.

Song Luli followed Long Jie out of the pool. They wrapped themselves with towels, trying to sneak out of the pool, down the hall. Long Jie returned the key before they bolted down the hall, heading to their room.

Inside, Long Jie dragged Song Luli in the shower with him, washing each other's hair and bodies.

Afterward, Long Jie dressed her up in a dry robe, as he wore one too, unclothed underneath.

On the bed, Long Jie returned to kissing her by laying on top of her, entangling their legs together. She broke the kiss to gaze up at him with watery eyes. She hadn't told him yet.

"I like you, too," she told him wholeheartedly.

Long Jie smiled, bending down to her neck, worshipping her body with the sweetness he offered.

Long Jie ran his hands from her ankles to her inner thighs. She let out a sound that made her feel as if she was too loud. "Long Jie, we should stop for tonight. We have neighbours," Song Luli told him.

Long Jie didn't listen, continuing to taste her neck. She retaliated by turning over, away from him. Long Jie embraced her from behind. "We can do this position," he teased.

Song Luli's ears reddened. How could he be so brazen?

"No sex," she said, painfully though she wanted it too.

Long Jie pressed closer against her body from behind. She felt something harden near. He rested his chin over her shoulder, speaking in her ear, "But I really want to fuck you."

Song Luli gasped, shivering uncontrollably. Just those words compelled her to ache at her core. She gritted her teeth. She wanted him in her. Fuck!

Song Luli turned her head slightly. "We can't tonight. If you fuck me, I won't be able to suppress my voice, and there are others," she said.

Long Jie's eyes blazed with desire, at the promise of what they'll do.

"Fine," he said, gliding his hand beneath her robe. He found her pooling core. He felt her heat, as he generously slid his fingers inside her.

Song Luli responded by trembling with pleasure, stifling a sound. Long Jie continued to penetrate her with his fingers; one, two, then went in a third. Song Luli buried her face in the pillow so that she wouldn't let out a sound.

Afraid she wasn't breathing, Long Jie lifted her face. He covered her mouth with his hand as he continued to thrust and rub her clit. Song Luli's legs shook as she closed the gap between her legs, as he kept going. She grabbed onto the hand over her mouth, and nothing could be heard from outside the room, hopefully.

She squirmed quietly, and when he hit the right spot, Song Luli removed his hand to gasp from the climax that leaked out of her. Long Jie lifted his fingers, tasting them. His eyes locked on hers as he did it.

After catching up on her breath, Song Luli flipped over, straddling him. She hastily pulled the string of his robe. The parts of his body that always captured her was his tattoos. But the hard muscles of his abdomen and his cock would catch her eye generously.

Song Luli bent down. She kissed his navel, going down, and she began at the base of his cock. She licked up and down, taking some of it in her hand. She stroked the head of his length with small and quick twists. She felt Long Jie hard, full, and reacting. She licked his testicles gentle before she took him in fully.

Her cheeks filled up, sucking him off generously. She didn't maintain a pattern; instead, she would lick, suck, and stroke him randomly, surprising him so that he didn't anticipate her moves. And because of that, it did not take long for Long Jie to cum over her hands, splattering over her fingers.

Song Luli licked some of his cum from her hand before they rose out of bed to wash up once more, before hitting the bed, finally.
