Welcome to the Innocent World-Chapter 187: A Companion for Exploration

The soft morning rays filtered through the hotel room’s curtains, painting golden lines across the walls. The warmth of the sunlight hit my skin, but it was nothing compared to the warmth I felt beside me. Afa was curled into me, her naked body perfectly molded against mine, her breathing deep and even. She looked so peaceful, her dark lashes casting shadows against her smooth cheeks. Her lips, slightly parted, invited my attention, even as she lay unaware of my gaze.

I reached over, brushing a stray strand of her hair from her face before leaning down to press a gentle kiss against her forehead. My fingers trailed lightly over her shoulder and down her arm, teasingly brushing the curve of her ass.

"Mmm," she murmured, her lips twitching into a faint smile. "Aus..tin..." My name escaped her lips in a soft, dreamy whisper, and I couldn’t help the grin that spread across mine.

"Oh, so you’re awake now?" I teased, my voice low and playful.

She didn’t open her eyes, instead curling further into me, her lips smiling up in innocence. "Maybe," she murmured, her voice thick with sleep.

"Playing coy, are we?" I dipped my head lower, my lips finding the sensitive spot just beneath her ear. Her breath hitched, though her smile widened.

Her arms wrapped lazily around my neck, and she finally opened her eyes, their rich depth locking onto mine. "Good morning," she whispered, her voice soft but carrying the weight of something far more intimate.

I kissed her, and she met me halfway, her lips molding perfectly against mine in a kiss that was consuming.

With great reluctance, I pulled back, resting my forehead against hers. "We need to get up," I murmured, though I didn’t sound convinced myself.

Afa pouted, her fingers grazing my chest. "You’re no fun," she teased, her eyes sparkling.

"Trust me, I’m plenty of fun," I countered, stealing another quick kiss before sitting up.

She groaned in protest but didn’t stop me as I swung my legs over the edge of the bed. "I’m taking a quick shower," I told her, glancing back at her still-sprawled form.

"Fine," she said, stretching like a cat and giving me a view that made it incredibly hard to move away. "But don’t take too long. I’m not done with you yet."

I chuckled, shaking my head as I disappeared into the bathroom. The hot water worked wonders on my muscles, easing the tension of the night while preparing me for the day ahead. As much as I wanted to stay wrapped in the comfort of Afa’s embrace, duty called.

When I emerged, freshly dressed in nothing but a towel slung around my waist, Afa was sitting up, watching me with a knowing smirk.

"What?" I asked, arching a brow.

"Nothing," she said innocently, though the way her gaze trailed over me suggested otherwise.

"Help me get dressed, then," I said, deciding to play into her teasing mood.

Her smirk widened, and she slid off the bed, her movements deliberate and slow. She approached me, grabbing the pants I had left on a ground and holding them out. "Your wish is my command," she said, her tone dripping with playful sarcasm.

I stepped into the pants, and her hands lingered longer than necessary as she pulled them up. Her fingers grazed my skin, sending sparks through me. Next came my shirt, then my jacket. With every piece of clothing, she moved closer, her presence intoxicating.

When she finished adjusting my tie, she stepped back, hands on her hips, and gave me an appraising look.

"You clean up well," she admitted, though there was a hint of regret in her tone.

"I try," I said, straightening my cuffs.

She hesitated, then reached out, her fingers trailing over my groin area, rubbing my dick gently. "Are you sure you have to go?" she asked, her voice low and filled with something that tugged at my resolve. "I’ll miss this," she added, her fingers pressing just enough to make her point clear.

I exhaled sharply, grabbing her wrist and pulling her hand away, though I couldn’t help the smile that tugged at my lips. "I’ll come back," I promised, my voice firm. "But I have to go."

Her expression softened. "Okay," she said quietly, stepping back.

As I grabbed my things and headed for the door, she called out, "Should I join you?"

I paused, glancing over my shoulder at her. "No," I said, shaking my head. "It could be dangerous. Let me figure things out first, and then we’ll see."

She nodded, though her lips pressed into a thin line. "Take care," she said softly, her voice carrying a weight of emotion that made me pause.

"I will," I assured her, "We’ve got a long way to go, Afa. This isn’t goodbye."

With that, I turned and left, closing the door behind me.

The hallway was quiet, the kind of silence that echoed. I leaned against the wall, letting out a long sigh. Last night had been… intense. A mixture of passion and unspoken emotions that left me feeling both curious and drained. But there was no time to dwell on it. The island was vast, and there were too many unknowns.

"If only Alpha and Zeta were here," I muttered to myself. They were excellent at infiltration, their skills unmatched. But they weren’t, and I had to adapt.

I was lost in thought when a familiar voice cut through the silence.

"My, my… look who’s here, sneaking out of a room that isn’t theirs."

I turned my head, and there she was—Lyra. Her golden blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her dress left little to the imagination. The deep neckline showcased her cleavage, while the slit along her thigh revealed smooth, tantalizing skin. The fabric was so transparent it showed the outline of her panties.

"Lyra," I said, my lips curling into a smirk as I straightened up. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

She leaned against the wall opposite me, her eyes alight with mischief. "I could ask you the same thing," she said, her gaze sweeping over me. "You look… refreshed."

"Just starting my day," I replied smoothly. "And you?"

"Oh, you know me," she said with a wink. "Always looking for adventure."

I chuckled, shaking my head. "You’re really something."

She shot back, though her tone was teasing. "But lucky for you, I’m free. What’s the plan?"

"Well," I said, a slow grin spreading across my face. "I guess I’ve got my companion for the day."

"Smart choice," she said, her lips curving into a satisfied smile.

As we walked down the hallway together, I couldn’t help but think that the day was about to get a whole lot more interesting.

I caught her wrist just as she turned away, spinning her back into my chest in one swift motion.

"Come here, baby," I murmured, my breath warm against her ear. Her body melted into mine, her thick curves pressing exactly where I wanted them.

"Ahh.." She gasped, her back arching instinctively as my hands slid down her arms before locking her wrists above her head, securing her against the hallway wall. The way her ass rubbed against my dick sent a sharp ache of desire through me, making me hard in an instant.

"There are people here, Austin…" she whispered, a halfhearted protest laced with excitement.

I smirked, tilting her chin with my fingers, guiding her gaze toward the side couch in the dimly lit lobby. A man and a woman were tangled in each other, lost in their own little world, completely unbothered by the presence of others as they fucked in open.

"It doesn’t matter," I murmured, my lips grazing her ear. "Look at them. No one cares."

She let out a shaky breath, her body trembling slightly beneath my grip. "Did you miss me?" I asked, brushing my lips against the shell of her ear, my voice a deliberate tease.

"A lot…" she admitted breathlessly. "My husband got drunk and passed out early. I was lying there, thinking… if only Austin were here."

"Ohh, my my," I chuckled darkly, letting my hand drift downward, skimming the curve of her ass before sliding between her thighs. "That’s fulfilling to hear."

Her body tensed as my fingers traced along the thin lace of her panties, teasing the heat beneath. She gasped, her legs shifting slightly, but I pressed her back into me, keeping her pinned.

"Austin—" Her voice hitched as I pushed the fabric aside, my fingers finding their way to where she was already wet with anticipation. I rubbed her labia in deliberate circles.

I smirked against her neck.

"So… what is this… ahh… about?" she managed to say, struggling to keep her voice steady as my fingers moved in slow, torturous circles and feeling her heated skin.

"I want you to come with me," I whispered, pressing a kiss on her neck. "Tonight…together..we have some things to explore."

She barely heard me. The moment my fingers slid inside her hole, she bit down on her lip, her hands flexing in my grasp. A strangled moan escaped her, muffled against the wall as she tried to suppress it.

"Ahh… h-huhh…" Her body jerked slightly, her thighs clenching around my hand, but I didn’t stop.

People walked past us, unaware—or perhaps purposefully ignorant—of the way her breath hitched, of the way she trembled beneath me.

Her pussy pulsed around my fingers, desperate and wanting. I smirked, leaning in, my voice dripping with command.

"So what do you say babe?"
