Operation Honey Trap vs The Emperor of the Apocalypse-Chapter 174: The Prizewinning Icebreaker [R18]

[WARNING: ADULT CONTENT]

Niko wrapped Indy in a hug and whispered rapidly into her ear, "there are soldiers approaching from the south. Just play along with me and we’ll be fine. Don’t be anxious. I’ve got you."

He lifted her veil and started to kiss her passionately and loudly. He grunted his pleasure and allowed their lips to make lewd noises that were utterly inappropriate for a public setting, making her flush red with embarrassment.

She tried to twist her head aside and break free from his lips, but he growled fiercely under his breath, "don’t muck around Indy, this is serious! Keep it together!"

Indy squirmed under his passionate kiss, still half-heartedly trying to resist it. But eventually, the calming familiarity of his taste, and the exuberance she could feel from him at the chance to kiss her, worked its magic, and she gave up battling him, falling back into the simple joy of kissing the man, even if it was just for show.

The marching footsteps got closer, and Niko reached his hand underneath Indy’s jilbab and squeezed her ass, drawing a squeal of shocked surprise from her.

He broke away from the kiss momentarily and looked over his shoulder at the two soldiers.

"Evening officers. Just enjoying a moment with my wife, if you get my drift," he winked at them.

Niko turned back to kissing Indy, squeezing and fondling her breasts as only he knew how, until she gasped and moaned.

He heard the two soldiers laugh and continue on their way.

"Might want to take it home, sir," one called back over his shoulder, "sounds like your wife might need some servicing on the old work bench".

His friend roared with laughter.

"I wish my missus made noises like that. Instead she just says, ’how much longer you gonna be Fred? I’ve got the washing to hang out’," he mimicked his wife’s nasal whining, and the men pealed with raucous laughter again.

Niko continued to kiss Indy, reaching his hand inside her jilbab and playing naughtily with one of her soft peaks until the men’s footsteps could no longer be heard.

He knew full well what he was doing to her, and by the time the soldiers were out of earshot, Indy was a responsive mess, leaning into his touch, and returning his kiss in kind.

Niko took full advantage of the opportunity, kissing the woman long and hard, and getting his fill of her beautiful body again, which he had missed so much.

He made sure to keep her from thinking too hard, squeezing and tickling her sensitive nipples, dropping his kisses down her neck, gripping her peachy ass and squeezing it, while letting his fingers drift dangerously close to her honeypot.

Indy let herself float away with the pleasure of those brief minutes. It was such a relief in a way, to have a reason to stop trying to avoid him.

The soldiers were the excuse that provided them both with a temporary reprieve from their standoff, though she was well aware she was letting things go on far longer than they truly needed to.

Finally, she reluctantly broke away from him, panting, wet, her lips swollen, her veil dropped to the street, her buttons open and flashes of her naked flesh on display. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Stop, Niko," she breathed.

He put one hand against the wall alongside her, dropping his head and struggling to collect himself while he breathed heavily.

He knelt and picked up her veil for her, trying to avert his eyes while she straightened her clothes, or he knew he would pick right back up where he left off.

She rubbed her brow with frustration, not even able to look him in the eyes after that little performance. How could she? Talk about mixed messages, girl!

Maybe Opal was right when she accused her of giving him hope. In fact, not ’maybe’, the horrible girl was right...

Niko ducked his head down in front of her face, forcing her to look him in the eye.

"Was that necessary, Nicholas?" she sighed, meeting his amused gaze.

"Absolutely it was. Anything less and we might have been arrested or ID-checked. And I didn’t see any evidence you objected. On the contrary, your body is much more honest about how you feel about me than your words are."

She exhaled a deep breath of defeat. "Niko, just because I respond to your... ministrations, doesn’t mean all is forgiven."

"It’s a good start though, isn’t it?" his eyes were bright with a happiness she hadn’t seen in him since that fateful morning, and she had to admit the expression suited him so much better than melancholy.

He was a man who was meant to be upbeat and carefree.

This partner swap idea of his had turned out to be a real winner! Niko thought with elation.

He took her hand again, drawing her back onto the pavement to continue their journey together, eager to restart their previous conversation after that prizewinning icebreaker!

Delphi and Alton were the first couple to arrive at the safehouse.

They unlocked the door with the code Bill had provided them and quickly stepped inside off the street. Given there were four more couples to arrive, they didn’t want to attract attention by having five men and five women gathered in an alleyway.

The terrace house was hundreds of years old. Delphi admired the beautiful old sandstone walls, wide timber floorboards and high ceilings as she went about lighting lamps.

This grand old lady of a house would have some stories to tell if she could talk! She hoped they wouldn’t be adding to them and that their stay here would be quiet and uneventful. Although, with their plans for their time in the capital, that was very unlikely...

Alton emerged from a bedroom on the third level attic floor, looking down the quaint stairs at Delphi.

"There are five bedrooms, and not a bunkroom in sight! I’ve bagsed us the largest one with a queen-sized bed; and it’s all on its own up this flight of stairs behind a thick door..."

The man looked very pleased with himself as his suggestive statement hung in the air between them.

"Shouldn’t we continue sleeping as we have been?" asked Delphi. "Men and women separately? Didn’t you say mixed companies are a mistake?"

"I changed my mind," the intent in his gaze was unmistakeable.
