Chapter 131 Can't Touch This.
Cultivation with herbs, purifying water and marrow cleansing pills was really a cheat because four days later, Scarlet was at level two foundation stage. To celebrate her win that morning, she turned the music on really loud in Esong's space ship and started dancing. It was as early as five in the morning and Esong was sleeping, she on the other hand was not sleepy at all which was why she decided to dance along to 'Can't touch this' because she felt invisible. Scarlet was not a very good dancer, she had two left feet and her body was weirdly uncoordinated. This did not make much sense to her because when she was fighting it was almost as if she was gliding and swaying at times.
Severus who was sleeping on the space ship lately to guide her in cultivation watched her dancing and he covered his eyes with his paws because he was extremely embarrassed. If any of the other soul cultivators saw her celebrating such a small advancement at such a small level his reputation would take a hit because he was her partner. And what kind of stupid dancing was she doing? It made no sense at all.
"Please stop." he pleaded with her.
"No way, I am in the zone." she replied and she started winding her waist.
"The insanity zone?" he asked sarcastically.
"The sweet zone." she replied.
"You do realize that you are still on level two, right?"
"Uh-huh." she responded and she broke into the shuffle.
"I can't watch this anymore." he turned his back on her literally, facing the wall of the space ship and closing his eyes. As soon as these doors opened he would be on his way to the forest to do some hunting. He needed to erase the images of her dancing from his mind.
The song was almost winding up when Esong left the bedroom. He had risen and touched her end of the bed only to realize that she was nowhere to be seen. Curiously, he got up to look for her and his senses caught some movement in the spaceship. If Jovi had not alerted him, then it could only be her. He thought she was working out but what he saw was something entirely. It was a combination of jumping, moving her feet left and right, twisting her waist all the while repeating three words, 'can't touch this.'
The song was playing from the speakers of the space ship, hopefully she had not set it to loud external mode because everyone within two thousand square miles would have heard it.
"Turn the music down Jovi." he instructed the ship AI.
"Turning the music down." Jovi said as he did it.
Scarlet spun around and she saw Esong leaning against the wall, he was dressed in sweat pants only. His very built muscular chest was on full display for admiration. She threw her hands around as if they were boneless as she watched him and she smiled.
"Interesting choice of song." he said to her.
"Yeah, I forgot that I had a storage device hidden in my old water bottle." It was an old Ipod containing around one thousand or more songs. She had it for a while when ipods where still popular and everyone at school had one. But like everything else with gadgets when a new one shows up on the market, the old one is retired. Carrying that bottle of water with a hidden compartment which stored the thin Ipod around her neck in the apocalypse had saved all that music and she carried it to the interstellar too without even knowing. She thought it stayed behind with the rest of the things on her body when she was dying. She was pleasantly surprised when she found it.
"Interesting choice of outfit." he commented with a naughty smile. She was wearing CK black biker shorts and a matching sleeveless crop top.
"Shut up and dance with me." she extended her hand to him, calling him forward with her pinky finger.
Esong did not need to be told twice, he had been starving without her touch for a few days now. Ever since she said that he was in for a long drought, she had not relented at all. Even kisses were forbidden because he was in what she called 'the dog house.' No matter how many times she explained it, he did not understand what a dog house was because he was not a dog.
Wrapping one arm around her waist and holding her hand with the other, they broke into a slow dance, moving slowly despite the fast tempo of playing music.
Esong had danced before, social events, banquets, family events but he never held his partners as close as this. He made sure that he pulled her so close and ensured that their was barely any space between them. Until he got out of the dog house, this was the closest he could come to feeling her body, except for when they were training.
"Who taught you how to dance?" she asked him.
"My grandfather and two teachers, by the time I was ten I was an expert. What about you?" his face held a hint of a smile, as far as he could tell, she could not dance. It was weird because most daughters of noble families could dance expertly by the age of five. He pushed away from her and spun her body around twice before pulling it in close once more. This time, they were looking into each other's eyes, his black ones into her grey ones.
"Are you trying to make fun of me Esong?"
"Why ever would I do that? Your moves may not be elegant but they have a certain charm to them. I for one like them, in fact when you are in the mood feel free to always dance for me." He bent his head down slowly, and his hand moved in circles on her back, touching her bare skin. She would be lying to herself and him if she did not admit that she was loving it.
"You would like that, wouldn't you?" she giggled. He would probably lean back and laugh at her. Unless she could pull off those sexy moves other women effortlessly made in music videos. How they managed to move like snakes she would never understand.
His left hand that was on her lower back moved downward and gripped her ass tightly. "I would love it so much."
She laughed and oved it back up, "Keep it clean Mr. Esong."
"Mmm" he groaned, "I have been on my best behavior Scar, why do you still deny me even this little bit of pleasure." every once in a while instead of calling her Scarlet he called her Scar. She blamed it on the viewing of the movie the lion king, there was no way he called her that romantically.
"Dog house," she reminded him, "But if I win my fight tomorrow night I could be in a celebratory mood." she teased him by licking and biting her bottom lip slowly . "Maybe, we could do some things with our tongues, you could sit me right here on this table, split my legs apart and get on your knees..."
"Go on." he whispered in her ear.
She placed her hand on his chest, feeling it beat slightly faster. "I.." she kissed his chest, right above his heart and rubbed the spot she kissed. "I have to attend the opening of the hospital later today, I made you some chocolate coconut bars and put them in your freezer. Make sure that our son gets to school on time."
He groaned, shook his head and laughed, 'You are so unbelievable."
"I know, right." she winked at him and ended the dance. It was so fun teasing him like this, she loved seeing new sides to him everyday, better and unexpected sides.
"I am going to get you back for this." he promised.
"I will be waiting." she replied. Scarlet stopped was on her way to the bathroom but she stopped walking, turned around and took off her top and threw it at him. She left him gawking at her, holding the grey top in his hands
