"Ho," Dai Chengfeng chuckled softly, not only refusing to let go but also taking further advantage.
He slightly adjusted his position, lifting her leg higher, making her entire body's balance depend on him.
Then, his fingers began to slowly glide upwards along the curve of her calf.
His fingertips carried warm water, sometimes pressing with the pad of his finger, other times lightly scraping with his nails.
From her delicate ankle, to her well-proportioned calf, to the exceptionally tender skin behind her knee...
"Ah... no... there... it tickles!"
Liu Erlong could no longer bear it and writhed, trying to avoid the unbearable itchiness.
Her laughter mixed with indignant sobs, intermittently spilling from her lips.
She was extremely ticklish, especially behind her knees and at her waist. Even touching these areas herself usually made her uncomfortable, let alone being deliberately teased and tormented by him.
"Where does it tickle? Here?"
Dai Chengfeng seemed to have found an interesting toy and deliberately used his fingertips to lightly scratch the most sensitive spot behind her knee.
"Hahaha... no... stop! Dai Chengfeng! You... you stop!"
Liu Erlong laughed until tears nearly came out, her body twisting violently, yet she had nowhere to escape as one of her legs was held high in the air by him.
The clear pool water rippled continuously due to her violent movements, wetting the smooth ground around the pool, as well as Dai Chengfeng's hair and cheeks.
Water droplets slid down his chiseled jawline, dripping onto Liu Erlong's chest, which heaved dramatically from her laughing and indignation, bringing a cool touch that did nothing to lower the rising heat within her body.
"Beg me."
Dai Chengfeng stopped his actions, but his hand remained on her thigh, carrying a threatening implication.
He leisurely watched her gasping for breath, her hair disheveled, her whole body flushed with an enticing red, the flames in his eyes burning even more intensely.
Liu Erlong panted heavily, her chest rising and falling. Her misty eyes glared at him, filled with shame and anger...
She didn't want to beg; it was too humiliating!
But after a moment of resistance, under the threat of his fingers about to move again, Liu Erlong finally gave in.
With immense humiliation, she whispered almost inaudibly:
"...No... don't... please... I beg you..."
"Who are you begging?"
Dai Chengfeng wasn't about to let her off easily and insisted she make it clear.
Liu Erlong closed her eyes, her long lashes trembling violently, almost grinding her teeth to dust:
"...Please... please, Dai Chengfeng... let me go..."
This faint voice, filled with endless shame, stirred Dai Chengfeng's heartstrings more than any coquettish words ever could.
Satisfied, he smirked and finally released the grip on her ankle.
Liu Erlong's leg instantly fell back into the water, splashing droplets everywhere.
She collapsed like a ragdoll, weakly leaning against the edge of the pool, without even the strength to lift a finger, left with only rapid breathing and a pounding heart.
However, Dai Chengfeng didn't give her much time to recover.
He extended his long arm and effortlessly scooped up her limp, enticingly flushed body from the water, cradling her and sitting her on his lap.
They instantly became face-to-face, tightly pressed together.
The warm pool water lapped over their chests, the ripples undulating, their skins touching seamlessly.
Liu Erlong could even clearly feel a certain part of his body awakening again...
"!"
She looked up in panic, meeting his deep eyes.
"You... what do you still want to do!"
Dai Chengfeng didn't answer but instead showed his intentions through action.
One hand firmly clamped around her slender yet resilient waist to prevent her escape, while the other hand gripped the back of her head, forcing her to tilt her head up...
Then, he suddenly lowered his head, capturing her startled, slightly parted red lips.
"Mmm...!"
Liu Erlong's protests were completely stifled in her throat.
This kiss was deeper and more domineering than any before, exuding an irresistible sense of plunder.
His tongue plunged deep inside, entwining with hers, sucking in her sweetness as if trying to absorb her very soul.
At first, Liu Erlong still tried to struggle, pushing against his chest with her hands, but her strength was as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of him.
Moreover, after the previous bout of laughter and sensitive stimulation, her body had already betrayed her will, gradually melting and going limp under his skillful and assertive kiss.
Her push turned into a weak grasp, and eventually, her arms loosely wrapped around his neck, awkwardly and passively responding to this bone-deep kiss.
The warmth of the pool water, the heat of his lips and tongue, and the strong masculine scent emanating from him wove an impenetrable web of passion, trapping her tightly with no escape.
Feeling her softening, Dai Chengfeng kissed her even deeper, even more lingeringly.
His hands also began to wander unrestrainedly over her smooth back and resilient waist, igniting new flames. The temperature in the bath seemed higher than before.
After an unknown amount of time, until Liu Erlong felt she was about to suffocate, Dai Chengfeng finally released her lips.
Their foreheads touched, their breaths mingling, both panting heavily.
Liu Erlong's eyes were misty, her lips swollen and moist from the kiss, slightly parted, helplessly gasping for air.
Dai Chengfeng gazed at her disoriented expression, his Adam's apple bobbing, the darkness in his eyes thick and unyielding.
He slightly rose, adjusting her position, making her face away from him, leaning against the smooth edge of the bath.
"No... no more..."
Liu Erlong seemed to foresee what was coming next, instinctively curling forward, shyly trying to escape.
But how could Dai Chengfeng allow it?
He leaned down, his solid, scorching chest tightly pressed against her smooth, cool back, his lips brushing her earlobe, his voice hoarse and full of temptation:
"The earlier cleaning... isn't finished yet."
It was unclear how long it lasted.
When everything finally returned to calm, the water in the bath seemed to have lost its previous warmth, becoming somewhat cool.
The petals floating on the water surface had been thoroughly scattered.
Liu Erlong completely collapsed in Dai Chengfeng's arms, not even having the strength to open her eyes.
This time, she was truly drained of her last ounce of energy, like a delicate doll whose soul had been emptied.
Dai Chengfeng looked at her weary sleeping face nestled in his arms, his expression growing even more languid and satisfied.
This time, he didn't torment her further but efficiently and carefully cleaned her body, his movements even carrying a rare gentleness, as if handling a priceless treasure.
After finishing, he dried the water droplets from their bodies with a large, soft towel, then once again lifted her horizontally and walked back to the bedroom.
In the bedroom, the disheveled bed had already been neatly replaced with clean bedding by the nimble maids, perfumed with a light calming fragrance.
"Sleep."
