Free Web NovelChapter 45: Chapter 43: Greedy for More
Mo Xiao was holding her too tightly, and Su Mo unconsciously gave him a push.
But her meager strength was completely insignificant to him.
Still, Mo Xiao immediately sensed her intention and loosened his grip slightly.
Su Mo let out a sigh of relief. Then, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his firm waist, adjusting herself into a more comfortable position.
He didn’t know what she was dreaming about, but Mo Xiao heard a drunken giggle from his chest.
Then, his chest tickled...
She was biting him.
Su Mo only felt that the thing in her mouth was a bit hard and difficult to chew, so she bit down with a little more force.
Mo Xiao froze, his arms holding her almost tightening uncontrollably.
The temperature of his palms suddenly shot up.
The person in his arms then nuzzled against him unconsciously.
Mo Xiao felt the repressed emotions inside him instantly sprout and grow wildly.
’This is torture. Even her slightest, unconscious touch is enough to make me lose control now.’
He hadn’t forgotten that Yue Ying and Fei Yan were still behind him; for now, he could only force himself to remain calm.
An attendant led them to the quarters Long Yan had arranged. Everything inside was well-prepared.
The three men’s rooms were adjacent to Su Mo’s.
Mo Xiao placed her on the bed and asked for a cup of warm water.
Then he turned to Yue Ying and Fei Yan behind him and said, "I’ll stay and take care of her tonight."
Yue Ying paused the hand that was waving his fan. "Why don’t the three of us take care of her together?"
’The wife is this drunk. Who knows if that stinking snake will get any funny ideas?’
’Such an adorable wife... who wouldn’t want to take care of her? Why should he get to have her all to himself?’
Fei Yan stared intently at the person on the bed, not speaking for a moment.
His silence was a clear sign of his disagreement.
Mo Xiao knitted his brows. "There’s no point in the three of us always fighting like this. From now on, we’ll take turns. Tonight, we start with me."
"Then why doesn’t it start with me?" Yue Ying retorted, unconvinced.
Fei Yan didn’t say anything. He had already taken care of her for a night last time, so in principle, he had no reason to argue.
Mo Xiao looked at Yue Ying and raised an eyebrow. "What, you want to take this outside and have a fight?!"
"Fine by me! Who’s afraid of who?"
Fei Yan said in a low voice, "Stop it. This is the Dragon Clan Tribe, not a place for you to fool around!"
"Mo Xiao tonight, Yue Ying next time."
Yue Ying shot Fei Yan a glare and said through gritted teeth, "Fine! You’d better remember what you said!"
With that, he huffed and stormed out, fanning himself as he went.
Fei Yan glanced at the person on the bed, then also turned and left.
’Of course, it’s impossible not to feel jealous, but there are benefits to establishing some rules early on.’
A short while later, an attendant brought a cup of warm water and things for Su Mo to wash up.
Mo Xiao lifted the person on the bed and brought the cup to her lips.
Su Mo took a few sips, then shook her head to indicate she didn’t want any more.
He put down the cup, wrung out a towel, and began to wash her.
When he was washing her feet, Su Mo was a bit uncooperative.
She lifted her leg and kicked Mo Xiao in the face. The warm, soft touch made him freeze abruptly.
His eyes darkened. He reached out and grabbed her ankle; the delicate texture made the temperature of his palm rise uncontrollably.
The next second, Su Mo felt her ankle being squeezed uncomfortably. She lifted her other foot and kicked out viciously.
Fortunately, Mo Xiao was quick and caught it with his other hand.
Su Mo struggled, refusing to cooperate.
"Don’t fuss."
The man soothed her in a low, husky voice.
Then he quickly finished washing her feet and settled her back on the bed.
Mo Xiao sat on the low couch by the bed, gazing at the person on it, looking a little dazed.
Su Mo turned over, and the ties of her inner robe loosened, revealing a lustrous, fair shoulder and a faint hint of the scenery beneath.
Su Mo was certainly not a voluptuous Female; in fact, compared to the other Females in the tribe, she seemed a bit frail.
But she was definitely not lacking where it counted...
Mo Xiao’s Adam’s apple bobbed subconsciously. He could vaguely feel the name from the mate bond sealed on his shoulder begin to throb uncontrollably.
The feelings he had tried so hard to suppress surged within him.
He closed his eyes for a moment. In the end, he had overestimated his self-control.
He simply couldn’t resist her pull on him.
Mo Xiao shot up from the stool, wanting to go outside to cool down for a moment.
As he turned, he heard Su Mo mumble, "Stinking snake, so annoying... Ruining my fun! Sell him off to the frontier..."
Mo Xiao’s hands, hanging at his sides, clenched slightly.
He turned back again to look at the person on the bed.
Su Mo was lying near the edge of the bed, continuing to mumble, "Annul the engagement... I want to annul the engagement!!!"
Mo Xiao bent down, lowering his head to look at her.
He reached out to gently stroke her slender neck and asked bitterly, "Can’t you just keep liking me, like before?"
Su Mo only felt something on her neck that was uncomfortably hot.
She groggily opened her eyes, then frowned and called out, "Mo Xiao?"
Mo Xiao’s hand, which was on her neck, slowly moved down to her waist.
He suppressed the churning emotions in his heart and asked, "You recognize me?"
He leaned in close to her face and said, word by word.
"Please like me, okay? Just like you did before, please keep liking me, okay?"
Su Mo squinted and smiled, saying drunkenly, "Li-like... Ooh... Long Yan? I like to watch his..."
The hand on her waist abruptly tightened.
’Damn it, even when she’s drunk, she can’t stop thinking about that dragon?!’
’How could she say another man’s name to his face?!’
In that instant, jealousy shattered his reason.
Mo Xiao lowered his head and captured the mouth that had angered him with a kiss.
He had only meant to shut her up.
But the moment their breaths intertwined, his reason completely broke down.
His body’s instincts greedily demanded more.
Su Mo found it hard to breathe. Her unconscious struggles to get away only made Mo Xiao lose control completely.
With one arm trapping her slender waist and the other hand cradling her struggling head, he pressed her completely into the pillow.
Breaths became ragged, and the sound of heartbeats was deafening.
Entangled by him, Su Mo’s breathing was labored. She frowned, bending her knees to try and kick away the person pressing down on her, but he had her completely pinned.
The desire deep within him surged forth with unstoppable force, like a beast that had been hiding for a long time suddenly tearing off its disguise.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through the corner of his lip. She had bitten him.
The sudden, sharp pain brought his shattered reason back for a moment, and his grip on her loosened slightly.
Su Mo groggily opened her eyes and glanced at him, then shakily raised a hand to point at him.
She started to speak, faltering, "You... you..."
Then she rolled over, closed her eyes, and went back to sleep.
A dark tide churned in Mo Xiao’s eyes. He stared at her profile for a long time, unable to snap out of it.
He closed his eyes and took several deep breaths to calm himself before getting off the bed and stumbling outside.
’I’ve never pretended to be a good person, but if I touched her now, knowing her personality, she wouldn’t acknowledge it after she woke up.’
’It would only push her further away.’ freewebnσvel.cѳm
’What on earth do I have to do to make her accept me willingly?!’
After Mo Xiao went outside, he went straight to a pool and submerged himself in it.
The previous scene replayed endlessly in his mind. The bond-seal on his shoulder bloomed a bewitching red.
It was as bright red as blood, alluring and dazzling.
The temperature of the water in the pool gradually began to rise...
When Su Mo woke up the next day, she wasn’t sure what hour it was, only that the sun was high in the sky.
She could faintly hear voices talking outside.
A BEEP sounded in her mind, followed by Little Nine’s anxious voice.
"Host, this is bad, something’s happened!"
The sleepiness was scared right out of Su Mo. She shot up in bed.
Little Nine said frantically, "Quick, get up and come outside with me!"
