Perhaps it was because she had spent so many years on the battlefield, or perhaps it was simply her natural temperament, but Kiri genuinely disliked having anyone standing behind her.
Especially people who posed a threat to her, and anyone carrying firearms or weapons.
And right now Li Ke was exactly that kind of person. Whether in his inventory or the so-called action bar, all sorts of weapons were stored there.
But at this moment, the most critical "weapon" was the one he carried on his own body.
Even through the layers of clothing, Kiri could clearly feel Li Ke's cock slowly awakening and hardening against her. The thick, heavy shaft pressed insistently into the soft curve of her ass, growing firmer with every heartbeat until it was a rigid, hot length nestled firmly between her cheeks. She could feel the outline of the swollen head and the solid thickness of the shaft as it rubbed against her through the thin fabric.
Without quite understanding why, Kiri's already rapid heartbeat quickened even further. A strange, unfamiliar emotion rose inside her chest.
The carefree attitude she had shown earlier vanished. A sudden wave of unease mixed with something deeper and harder to name washed over her.
It was an instinctive blend of anticipation and fear.
Yet Kiri was still Kiri.
"Are you trying to have an accidental discharge?" she asked, her voice slightly husky.
She could feel Li Ke continuing to grind against her from behind, the hard length of his cock slowly dragging up and down the cleft of her ass through their clothes. His heartbeat had grown stronger and more urgent against her back, and that steady pressure made her own courage and curiosity rise in turn.
So she reached back with one hand, slipped her fingers past the waistband of his pants, and wrapped them around his cock.
The moment her bare skin touched him, she froze for a second.
"Oh-ho…?"
The size was far larger than she had imagined. Thick, hot, and already fully rigid, the heavy shaft filled her hand completely. The thought of something this thick trying to push into her small, tight entrance sent a phantom ache through her lower belly.
Still, she didn't pull away. Instead she began to explore him slowly, her fingers gliding along the hot length, feeling the prominent veins and the silky-smooth skin stretched tight over the hardness. When her fingertips reached the swollen head, she discovered it was already wet. A slick film of pre-cum coated the sensitive mushroom tip. She gently rubbed her thumb across the slippery surface, spreading the moisture in slow, deliberate circles.
Her own breathing grew uneven.
She could feel something warm and wet beginning to trickle out from between her own legs. The more Li Ke's body pressed against her and the more her fingers played with him, the more that slippery wetness increased, soaking into her underwear.
Then Li Ke's hand moved.
His fingers slipped lower, parted the soft folds of her pussy, and found the small, sensitive pearl hidden at the top. The moment he touched it — rubbing the swollen little nub with gentle but firm pressure — Kiri's legs nearly gave out. A sharp, electric jolt of pleasure shot straight up her spine. She gasped and instinctively tightened her grip around his cock, squeezing the thick shaft hard.
Behind her, Li Ke's entire body went rigid for a second. A sharp intake of breath sounded right against her ear.
A moment later she felt his nose brush along the side of her neck, followed by the heat of his heavy breathing. Then his teeth gently caught the soft lobe of her ear and bit down, just hard enough to send another shiver racing through her.
"Are you being naughty…" he murmured against her ear, voice low and rough, "or just inexperienced?"
Kiri couldn't help letting out a soft laugh. Then, copying the way the female attendants at the Rest Tavern had done it, she gently twisted her palm around his cock.
The sensation that shot through Li Ke was a little rough, yet not truly harsh — a faint, perfectly measured edge of pain that mixed with the slick heat of her grip. It made him draw in a sharp, deep breath.
The feeling was difficult to put into words, but Li Ke was done waiting.
"Looks like you're being naughty after all."
In the middle of Kiri's startled cry he released her breast, slid his hand up to her neck, and gave a sudden, firm tug. Kiri instinctively performed something like a French military salute, arms rising as her upper clothing was yanked upward and left bunched around her neck. The hairpin on her head kept her long hair from flying free.
Her breasts, suddenly freed, bounced heavily once, twice — like soft white rabbits escaping a cage — before Li Ke's hands claimed them again. He squeezed the firm, warm flesh, thumbs brushing over the already stiff nipples as the heavy mounds filled and overflowed his palms.
He paid no further attention to the clothing still tangled around her neck. While Kiri struggled to pull the fabric over her head, he turned her body to face him. His other hand hooked into the waistband of her white panties and dragged them down in one smooth motion. The soft fabric slid along her long, smooth legs, briefly catching at her ankles and brushing warmth against her toes before he flicked them away completely. The discarded panties flew through the air and landed somewhere out of sight.
The moment Kiri finally managed to pull the clothes off her head, Li Ke wrapped both arms around her and lifted her clean off the ground.
She only had time for a short, surprised gasp before his mouth covered hers. His tongue pushed past her lips without hesitation, sliding deep and moving with open hunger, tasting her, curling around her tongue and drawing soft, muffled sounds from her throat.
Kiri tossed the remaining clothes onto the ground and wrapped her arms around him in return, pulling him down with her into the shallow water.
The two of them rolled together across the wooden-framed shallows. Cool water splashed and surged around their bare bodies, washing away the sweat and heat of the day. Kiri threw her head back and laughed, sending a bright spray of water into the air; when they surfaced again they were both glistening and breathless.
It still wasn't over. They tumbled once more through the water until they returned to the shallows, where Kiri finally gained the upper hand. She straddled his hips, pinning him beneath her, and claimed victory in their playful struggle.
"Hah… hah… You're this impatient, you bastard? Already this obsessed with your big sister's charm?"
She leaned down over him, resting her weight on his chest. One finger playfully lifted his chin as she looked at the face she rather liked, smiling.
She paid no attention at all to the hands that had already settled on her bare ass. As Li Ke's fingers sank into the soft, full flesh and began to knead and squeeze the firm cheeks, spreading them slightly with each slow press of his palms, Kiri only laughed harder, the sound bright and unrestrained.
Li Ke lay back in the shallows, the cool water just reaching the edges of his ears. He smiled, pinched Kiri's soft cheek between his fingers, then brought his other hand down in a firm, sharp smack against one of her bare ass cheeks. The full, firm flesh jiggled under the impact, the sound wet and crisp in the quiet shallows. He left a faint red mark blooming across the smooth skin before letting his hand rest there, giving the warm cheek another slow, possessive squeeze.
He settled fully onto the wooden boards beneath the water and looked up at her.
"You laugh just like a little hen… when you're actually more like a slippery little eel."
"How am I like an eel?" Kiri asked, frowning in playful confusion. She reached down and gave one of his nipples a sudden, mischievous pinch between her fingers. The sharp, unexpected sensation made Li Ke's breath hitch; a strange, tingling heat spread across his chest.
He lifted his upper body so he could see her face more clearly. At the same time his free hand slid along the outside of her thigh, fingers spreading over the full, tight muscle. He stroked upward slowly, feeling the smooth, firm flesh that had been shaped by years of battle, squeezing the warm, resilient skin and letting his palm glide over the powerful curve of her leg.
"I meant that you look just as delicious as an eel," he said with a grin, then leaned in and kissed her mouth — soft at first, then deeper, tasting the faint sweetness of her lips and the lingering coolness of the water on her skin.
When he pulled back just enough to speak, his voice was lower, more honest.
"I've never eaten one, but I've always wanted to. And it's the same with you, Kiri. From the very first moment I saw you, I already knew I had to get my hands on you. I wanted to put the thing that can make you pregnant deep inside your body… and make this carefree, big-sister type of yours cry. Don't doubt it — that was exactly what I thought the second I laid eyes on you."
Everything he said was true.
Whether it was the desire to take her or the darker urge to fuck her until she broke into tears, both were genuine.
Kiri, of course, had no idea of the deeper currents behind his words. She only knew that Li Ke was shamelessly lustful, that he loved staring at her legs and chest. She had never imagined that the very first time he saw her, his thoughts had already gone that far.
"Fine then!"
She laughed and gave his chest a light punch, then pushed him firmly back down into the shallows. Water splashed up around them in bright arcs as she straddled his hips once more, pinning him beneath her wet, naked body.
"Looks like this big sister needs to interrogate you properly!"
