North x Northwest

Chapter 44

In the small amount of time that had passed, Lil sighed more than she would ever do in her remaining life. Lil who had been agonising for quite a while, finally took another sip. Her twitching mouth slowly descended upon Ed.

Reaching Reaching Reached.

Their soft lips touched. With a firm determination that there will be no more failures, Lil let the water flow little by little. As if her past struggles were a lie, it all went smoothly.

After finishing every sip, Lil raised her face, rubbed her lips like crazy and caught her breath again.

Since I already started this, lets hurry up and get it over with.

Having made this generous decision, Lil diligently carried another sip of water. Right after, she positioned her mouth on top of his, not seeing his tongue licking his lips.

Huh!..

Surprised by the soft touch, Lil fell on her butt, spilling the remaining water.

Her startled gaze fell onto his face. Meanwhile his green eyes, which looked at her blankly, blinked a couple of times.

I swear This crazy Hes acting like he just woke up, but I bet he was conscious for a while.

You you!

Eds dried lips formed a smile.

I thought you owed me one.

***

Half an hour ago.

Ed waited until he could no longer hear her footsteps and tossed and turned in excitement.

His body, which had been stretched since he surrendered, slowly relaxed.

Who would have thought it would be more burdensome when her body came close to mine without hesitation, poorly wrapped in that blanket, than when she rushed at me like an unbridled beast Her breasts were still drenched, and every time she moved a little, it felt like my reason was being blown away. Its weird, I still remember that I didnt see her as a woman when we bumped into each other in the past, so what trigger awakened this damn conscience now

Ed thought back in time.

Was it the sight of her nakedness that affected me? When I unintentionally looked at her, her shirt soaked in seawater was almost transparent Even now Im reminded of how she breathed heavily back then

Ed felt a little angry and shuddered.

Yes, shes a woman, but does she really need to show me that? What the hell? Those breasts that were indescribably and provocatively stuck together Damn it. Because of that I was holding myself back and missed my chance to counterattack.

As he recalled the time when the soft sensation of her touch pressed against his shoulder, dizzying energy rushed through his lower abdomen again. Ed stomped his foot with a force great enough to smash the floor.

Normally, his self-control was sublimating to a level beyond that of a human being. Ed always admired his noble reason, reason which his low impulses could clearly not overcome now.

Suddenly, he remembered it wasnt his first time seeing a woman naked.

Then, why Im I going crazy? I cant deny shes definitely different

With that in mind, Ed concluded that his incomprehensible sensitivity to Lil had to be attributed to some point before that. Another question popped up.

From where?

The answer came quickly.

From the bottom of the sea From the moment our lips came together deep down there In a foreign world where there is no sign of human beings, where I was heated up with unexpected warmthBut if I ask myself if its my first kiss, its not even that. Although I defined myself as someone without much physical desire, it was not that I had never met a woman. I lived for nearly 30 years and had many women who covered their lips with mine. Only Liloa I cant understand why shes swaying me so much Is that the thing that makes her look so enchanting? Is it because its her?

Ed, who opened his eyes wide, slowly acknowledged it.

Yes, the kiss that nearly took my soul away, was the sweetest flavour I tasted in a long time. Its been a while, actually, its been a few years

He became annoyed as he couldnt figure out why it was so different.

Its not like Liloa is putting sweets in her mouth, is it?

Ed turned over and kicked the floor again. In any case, a subject that undermines objectivity was dangerous, more so when he couldnt justify it.

If we became more physically involved, I might get seriously greedy.

So, Ed created a thick line of defence with his remaining reason.

Liloa is a woman with a lover. My self-respect is above my chances of committing infidelity. And my pride is stronger than anyone elses.

While repeating it like a muttering spell, he heard footsteps approaching. Ed closed his eyes pretending to be dead, thinking he would desperately join the search for Lils necklace as he didnt want to see her as a woman anymore.

His consciousness quickly subsided due to exhaustion

Eventually, he woke up from a rest that felt like the sweetest sleep he had had in a while and his body started to recover from the dehydration. He came back to his senses when she touched his lips for the fourth or fifth time. Ed considered waking up right away, but lying still and getting more hydrated felt so comfortable and good, that it seemed like he was in paradise.

Also, Liloa will rush to beat me up as soon as I wake up, so its better to relax a little more to recover my energy.

Ed took the water Lil gave him eagerly and drank it. After a few more rounds, Lil learned a clever way to keep their lips from touching. It was also fortunate for him as he didnt want any unnecessary contact with Lil either.

It seemed like they repeated this a dozen times. Ed, who was fully revived, at one point inadvertently slipped out his tongue and wiped the remaining moisture from his lips. At the same time, he felt her lips pressed against his tongue. It was then that he realised that his tongue was out where it shouldnt be. Ed opened his eyes, cursing himself in his mind while Lils eyes, startled, were about to pop out. Ed rolled his eyes, not knowing how to fix this situation so he wouldnt be split with an axe.

A meticulous thought crossed his mind.

She should pay for all the times she almost killed me with the axe.

So he said, brightly.

I thought you owed me one.

Lil fumed.

All this time you were awake?!

Eds first instinct was to locate the axe. He was surprised to find it next to his head. With only the upper blade lodging into the floor, the lower part hovered threateningly over his right shoulder. Lil rushed in fiercely and was about to push down the handle as if it were some sort of small cutting tool.

What a crazy woman. My arm will fall off as it is.

Ca Captain..?

Havent you had enough?

Ed swallowed the rest of his words and rolled his body a few times. Lil pursued and attacked him, without even bothering to draw the axe. The winner of the two, who were tossing and turning with loud noises, was Lil. It was because she showed zero hesitation with her punches and kicks in the middle of their tangled fight. Eventually, Lil wrapped one of her arms around his neck, choking him. And no matter how chaotic he struggled, the strength of her arm tightly wrapped did not loosen for a second.

Ed squeaked unjustly.

There is no way I can get out Liloas leg, the size of my forearm, feels like it would break if kicked wrongly. Her stomach is so flat and slender that it seems smaller than my clenched fist, her wrists are too thin and her forearms are already shaking by merely grabbing them. Her little face has her eyes, nose and mouth I have nowhere to hit

It was a complete defeat. He did expect he couldnt handle it as easily as he did with Cesar, but fighting Lil was absolutely impossible. He would have been able to keep their distance if it was a sword fight, but he could never forcefully throw her off using his bare hands.

Oh Oh God help me

It felt like his head was about to burst with hot blood. Unable to withstand the tightening force, Ed got up, hugging Lil that was in front of him. He slammed Lils back against the first wall they encountered, but his hard-headed opponent did not utter a single groan. His mind was a mess, trying to find a way to get his neck out somehow. With a little luck, he managed to bend his head, ending up facing the nape of Lils neck. Whether he liked it or not, his lips were already rubbing against Lils bare skin, leaving Ed with no choice but to bite it.

Not knowing whether it was a scream or a moan, but something resembling a sob was heard. It was a very subtle sound to hear, but neither of them paid attention to it. Ed, who felt his airway opening a little, aimed higher and bit her again. In the meantime, it seemed that he had sucked or licked it without his knowledge, but that didnt matter. When Lil, unable to swallow her moan, finally freed him, Ed shoved her into a corner and covered her mouth.

Shhhh
