Chapter 246: Sweet Rain After a Long Drought

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Sweet Rain After a Long Drought

With a flick of her fingertips, a supple Beast Tendon Rope appeared in Bai Wanwan’s hand.

Yan Lie’s gaze instantly darkened, and his Adam’s apple bobbed heavily.

"I told you not to move."

Bai Wanwan’s voice was soft and sweet, like a ladle of water hitting a pan of boiling oil, its SIZZLE searing Yan Lie’s very nerves.

His jawline was tense with restraint, his knuckles turning pale, yet he obediently held his wrists out to her.

"Mm," Yan Lie rasped. "Wanwan, I’ll do whatever you say."

Bai Wanwan smiled at him, her movements quick and deft as she tied the knot. Her slender fingers brushed against his searing-hot wrist bone from time to time.

As she tightened the last loop, Bai Wanwan suddenly raised a hand and gave his chest a gentle push.

Yan Lie fell back cooperatively, his solid back muscles sinking into the stone bed.

His gaze remained locked on her face, so hot it felt like it could burn her.

Bai Wanwan’s fingertips hovered over the edge of his beast-pelt clothes. She drew out her words deliberately, "Want me to take this off for you?"

Yan Lie’s breathing hitched, his chest heaving violently.

"Mm."

She hooked the beast-pelt ties and pulled them downward, slow and patient, as if unwrapping a gift.

As the pelt slid away, the chiseled landscape of his chest and abs was revealed inch by inch, gilded with a honey-colored sheen in the moonlight.

When her fingertips brushed against a certain spot, Yan Lie’s entire body tensed, and veins popped out along his neck.

The pads of Bai Wanwan’s fingers roamed over his skin, a touch that was here one moment and gone the next. It was like a feather brushing against his very heart, each light caress sending a tiny tremor through him.

Yan Lie’s panting grew heavier, the ropes binding him cutting deep into his taut wrist muscles.

"Wanwan..."

His voice was impossibly hoarse, the thread of reason in his amber eyes about to snap. "What are you trying to do?"

She suddenly leaned down, her hair tumbling onto his chest. Her fragrant breath ghosted over his Adam’s apple. "What do you think?"

"Wanwan, please untie me," Yan Lie’s tone was pleading, his self-control about to shatter.

"No."

The corners of Bai Wanwan’s lips curved up. Her smile was utterly radiant, as if it had hooks that ensnared the male’s heart and pulled it tight.

Soon, the beast pelt was completely open.

The male’s magnificent physique was completely exposed before her eyes.

Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long, straight legs, all brimming with explosive masculine power.

Bai Wanwan was no longer completely inexperienced.

But she still found herself in a daze, forgetting all about her earlier confidence and her plan to tease him.

"Wanwan... why did you stop?"

’Her soft hands were torturous, but they also brought a pleasure he had never known. He just wanted her to touch him again.’

Bai Wanwan snapped back to reality and covered his mouth with her hand. "Don’t talk right now."

’Her heart was starting to race, too. She’d forgotten what she was supposed to do next.’

The female’s body pressed closer, as if she were throwing herself into his arms.

Her sweet scent was like a ripe fruit, and blood rushed through Yan Lie’s entire body.

"Wanwan, I can’t take it anymore."

Before the words had even faded, Yan Lie violently snapped the ropes, sending shreds of beast tendon flying.

In a dizzying turn of events, Bai Wanwan found herself pinned beneath him.

Yan Lie’s scorching palm pressed against the small of her back, the calloused pads of his fingers caressing that patch of skin.

"You..."

Whatever Bai Wanwan meant to say was swallowed by his fervent lips and tongue, her beast-pelt dress scattering to the floor in their tangle of limbs.

When her snow-white skin was fully revealed, a magnificent sight like a plum blossom blooming for the first time, his pupils constricted and his mind went completely blank.

All that remained was instinct. The male marked his territory, leaving his scent on every last inch.

Bai Wanwan’s eyes were hazy as she guided him...

Like a man in a drought finding a sweet spring, the male’s pupils instantly widened, and a low growl rumbled in his throat.

Moonlight spilled through the window, stretching the two figures inside into long, distorted shadows.

They swayed in the dappled light like a pair of loving swans.

"Wanwan,"

Yan Lie held her tightly, whispering her name endlessly into her ear.

Bai Wanwan felt as if her heart was dissolving, sending ripples out one after another.

The male was lost in the sweetness of the moment, and Bai Wanwan felt as if her very soul were taking flight.

Eventually, she had to redeem a stamina-replenishing pill from her System Space.

Even as the sky began to brighten, the male was still not satisfied. He shot a frustrated glance at the window.

Bai Wanwan was so sleepy her eyelids were drooping. She kicked the male off of her, rolled over, and hugged the blanket.

She was fast asleep in less than a second.

Although Yan Lie still wanted more, his heart ached seeing the female’s exhausted face, and he pushed the thought away. Lying down beside her, he slid a powerful arm under her waist and pulled her into his embrace.

He inhaled the female’s sweet scent, replaying everything that had just happened in his mind. After placing a soft kiss on her ear, Yan Lie closed his eyes in satisfaction.

They slept until almost noon.

Neither Xin Feng nor Zhu Xiu came to disturb them.

Yan Lie woke up first. Seeing that Wanwan was still asleep, he tightened his arm around her slightly.

’Wanwan’s skin was so soft and smooth; he couldn’t get enough of it.’

’He just wanted to stay tangled up in bed with her, to be with her forever.’

Suddenly, there was a noise outside.

Then, Xin Feng’s voice rang out, "Who are you looking for?"

A moment later, he heard a familiar voice.

"My name is Yan Chi. I’m Yan Lie’s older brother. I want to see him."

Hearing his older brother’s voice, Yan Lie worried he would wake Wanwan. He immediately withdrew his arm and slowly sat up.

He grabbed a nearby beast pelt, draped it over himself, and quickly walked out of the stone house.

Xin Feng and Yan Chi, who were standing at the entrance, heard the noise and turned to look.

Xin Feng immediately recognized the look of sated satisfaction on Yan Lie’s face—it was an expression he knew all too well.

"What are you doing here?"

"If you won’t come to me, I have to come to you."

Yan Chi’s gaze was sharp. "Mother and Father Beast are worried sick about you running off. Pack your things. You’re coming back with me."

"I’m not going back with you. Keep your voice down. Let’s talk outside."

Without another word, Yan Lie pushed Yan Chi out of the stone house.

"Brother, I have a mate now."

The words were like a clap of thunder. Even someone as composed as Yan Chi was shocked into silence for three seconds.

He then stared at Yan Lie and spoke again. "What did you say? A mate?"

’In his memory, Yan Lie avoided females like the plague. How could he suddenly have a mate?’

Yan Chi’s eyes darkened. "Did that female force you?"

Yan Lie quickly waved his hands. "Don’t be ridiculous. I’m the one who pestered Wanwan. It took everything I had to get her to agree to let me be her Beast Husband."

Yan Chi clearly didn’t believe him. He had only ever seen Yan Lie avoid females like the plague; he’d never seen him pester one.

"I want to see her."

"No. You should go back for now—"

Before he could finish, Bai Wanwan’s voice came from behind him.
