Chapter 323: Chapter 285: Welcoming Him into Her Boundary
Gu Ning was steadily lifted higher by the alpha wolf, and the scent filling her nostrils was no longer the warm, humid fragrance of floral body wash.
But her breath still came in tight gasps. The moment the alpha wolf’s lips and tongue touched her abdomen, she instinctively sucked it in.
The slight evasion was of little consequence.
Still, the breath sweeping across her abdomen paused for an instant. Then, she was set down, returning to the Beastman’s warm... no, scorching-hot embrace.
His body heat was astonishing. Gu Ning sat sideways, her shoulder pressed against Alex’s chest, feeling his anything-but-steady heartbeat.
At this point, the few remaining buttons on her pajamas hardly mattered.
Her pajama top had slipped down to her waist at some point, she didn’t even know when.
Alex didn’t move again, as if wanting to give her a moment to recover—or perhaps to give himself one.
Neither of them spoke. There were only two hearts, drawing ever closer, beating in time with one another, thrumming in their ears until the human and the wolf could no longer distinguish one from the other.
In the harmonious silence, Gu Ning’s tense muscles gradually relaxed. She braced a palm against Alex’s chest.
Her hand met a raised, uneven scar. She paused, then gently prodded it and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"
Her wrist was caught. Alex guided her hand, pressing her palm flat against the scar. "The wound has already healed. Don’t worry."
Light spilled out from under his palm, and Gu Ning’s terminal vibrated several times.
Someone was trying to contact her.
When Gu Ning looked up, a contact icon bearing the Golden Lion Badge popped up, its light dancing across her face.
Andrew was calling her.
Gu Ning squinted at the light, her hazy eyes instantly sharpening. Just as she moved to answer, Alex shifted his palm to completely cover her terminal. "This time is for me, all right?"
Between the current atmosphere and the alpha wolf’s tone, the little human found it impossible to refuse.
The terminal kept vibrating against her wrist and the alpha wolf’s palm. After a few seconds of hesitation, Gu Ning said, "The Admiral probably... has something important to discuss."
She could ignore calls from other people, but she didn’t dare leave this impossibly busy man hanging.
Alex raised a slight eyebrow and let go.
Gu Ning accepted Andrew’s call. "Admiral..."
The instant she spoke, Alex laid her flat on the bed.
Just as Gu Ning thought Alex was going to give her time for her call with Andrew, her pajama top and bottoms made a swift exit.
"..."
A hand gripped her hips.
Before she could react, she was pulled downward—
—and met a damp, furry head.
Gu Ning’s eyes flew wide. That fragile, secret place, never before touched by any living thing but herself, was now enveloped by Alex’s breath.
Her body went rigid in an instant.
Given how long Alex had lingered there earlier, she had already given up on the idea that this was just about covering up a scent.
After accepting Alex as her mate, she had prepared herself to welcome him across her boundaries at any moment.
But right now—
"I just got off work," Andrew’s voice said from the terminal, shattering the silence.
’What terrible timing.’
Gu Ning bit her lip, instinctively raising a foot to shove at the alpha wolf buried between her legs.
Her foot landed on his shoulder, but he didn’t budge. Instead, he caught her ankle, pulling her even closer.
Before the little human could protest, her softest place and the alpha wolf’s softest part had already made their acquaintance.
She couldn’t have "let go" even if she wanted to.
Alex followed her every flinch, slowly and earnestly searching for a way to please her.
"Ngh..." Gu Ning let out a short moan, then immediately bit her lip, not daring to make another sound.
"Did I wake you?"
Hearing the little female’s half-annoyed, half-plaintive sound, Andrew paused before asking in a gentler voice.
Gu Ning wanted to cry. She didn’t dare make a single sound right now, not even to tell Alex to stop.
She squeezed her knees together, took a deep breath, and forced a single syllable from her throat. "...No."
Hearing her slightly hoarse voice, Andrew asked, "Are you not feeling well?"
The moment he finished speaking, the wolf’s head between her legs gave a firm nudge upward.
Gu Ning clenched her jaw.
’Heavenly Bodhisattva.’
’You impossibly busy lion, can’t you just get to the point?’
"I’m fine." Gu Ning coughed loudly to cover the moan that was about to escape, sending a pitiful signal to the tirelessly exploring Beastman.
Alex’s movements stilled. He licked the corner of his mouth, swallowing the sweet taste, and pulled away for the moment.
In the brief respite, Gu Ning spoke to Andrew with a speed and clarity she had never managed before. "Admiral, did you need something? My... my sig... the signal is bad. It would be better if you just sent a message."
After she spoke, the other end of the terminal went silent for a few seconds. Then came two soft taps on a desk, followed by the sound of a chair scraping across the floor.
Seeing that he seemed in no hurry, Gu Ning was about to hang up and feign a dropped call when Andrew continued, "What are you so busy with?"
"..."
As if in direct defiance of the lion on the other end of the call, the alpha wolf’s big head buried itself once more, resuming his cultivation.
Gu Ning was in no state to make small talk with Andrew.
Her legs were shaking uncontrollably.
The instant before a moan could escape her lips, she ended the call.
The time that followed felt long... but in reality, it was brief.
She had naively planned to message Andrew back after the call. However, the moment she hung up, she found it impossible to focus on anything besides what Alex was doing.
"It’s so late," Alex said, finding a moment to speak. "He shouldn’t be disturbing you."
His only answer was the little human’s trembling whimper.
...
...
Gu Ning’s reactions left the alpha wolf feeling somewhat satisfied with his exploration. In this state, every wisp of her scent was a gift to him.
After her knees finally gave out, Alex swallowed her scent—sweeter than even her ’bleeding period’—for the umpteenth time, before finally scooping the sweat-drenched little female back into his arms.
"Did I do a good job?" Alex asked, peppering her cheeks with kisses. "Did you like it?"
Gu Ning’s consciousness, which had flown up to the ceiling, slowly trickled back into her body. She licked her dry lips and said hoarsely, "I want some water."
Alex grabbed the thermos from the bedside table, unscrewed the cap, and held it to her lips.
Gu Ning took a few sips while he held it for her, then lay limply in the crook of his arm.
After she caught her breath, she heard Alex ask from above her, "Tired? Can we continue?"
Continue? Con—
Gu Ning wanted to say no. She could feel her calves still twitching. But she quickly realized that this, apparently, was only the beginning.
After all, Alex had been the one pleasing her this entire time.
She squeezed her eyes shut, wishing she could just pass out.
Alex’s large hand came to rest on her abdomen. He kneaded it gently before moving lower—
"It’s too small," he said with a sigh.
