Crimson Instinct

Ying Yue slightly trembled by the way he spoke. She could clearly feel the lust in his gaze and words. She recalled how he was trying to feel her in the bar, and if not for Rodey, she didn't know what would have happened.

She peeked outside, but there was nobody.

Risfun smirked. "There is nobody who would disturb us, darling. We will have some fun, and you will be back without anybody knowing anything."

He sighed. "We are playing with that other woman…"

She stiffened on hearing Xue Jingjing's mention from his mouth.

"...But I cannot wait. I always wanted you. I was so desperate to have you. But that damn Rodey suddenly stuffed her on us, and we had to postpone your fun time."

Ying Yue felt as if thunder struck her. Her body froze, and she felt paralyzed for a moment.

She raised her head and stared at him, dumbfounded.

"R-Rodey…?"

"Yeah. He dragged that woman here. Not that we are not happy. We are thrilled to have more fun, but…" he sneered, "you were my target. I specifically chose you, but then Rodey forced me to wait, shoving that other woman on us and telling us to deal with her first."

Her gaze got unfocused, and she went into a trance.

Rodey...Rodey brought Jingjing…Why?  Why would he bring her here…

In a daze, she already couldn't hear what Risfun was saying anymore. She was only thinking about Rodey.

For a moment...just for a moment, she thought that maybe he knew how Jingjing abandoned her, so he brought her here for revenge. Maybe, just maybe, he was angry for her sake.

And at that thought, she suddenly felt something warm gushing in her heart with all its force like it never did before, like how water breaks a dam apart and flows out with all its strength. Something was tickling her from within. Something was bubbling in her chest.

It was the same sensation she felt when Rodey had pecked her on her cheek. 

She didn't know what it was. It was indescribable for her that she couldn't fathom its meaning.

Did he kidnap Jingjing because he...cares about me?

That was quite bold to imagine for her. In all her twenty years, she knew that only her mother cared about her. There was absolutely nobody else.

She wanted to think that it was like that, but she didn't want to assume either. She didn't want false hopes.

No... Maybe he brought her another reason. Maybe, it has nothing to do with me...

Ying Yue knew that they were worlds apart and not just with the way they lived. Not only because she was a law-abiding citizen and he was a criminal, but because she felt he was too far from her reach. 

Rodey had that aura; he had that charisma that attracted thousands of women to flock around him. Out of all those women, why would he care about a woman named Ying Yue, who, according to herself, was boring and not that pretty as compared to those numerous women he had flings with.

Why would she be any special for him?

She fidgeted with her dress, and an indescribable pain surged in her heart. Her feelings rose up and down as if she was riding a rollercoaster.

Suddenly, somebody held her hand, and she snapped back from her stupor.

Startled, she looked up and saw Risfun smiling at and dragging her up.

"Stop."

Panic flooded her chest. She resisted his grip, but it was too strong.

"Come on, babe," he whispered, "We will be back in no time."

"No!"

"Grrrr…"

Risfun froze as he heard an angry growl from behind him. 

He looked behind to see Cocoa glowering at him with a sharp gaze akin to a wild animal who was hunting.

"Grrr…Arf!"

Chu Jie and Long Hu suddenly woke up with his barking.

"Eh...what happened? Why are you barking Cocoa-"

Chu Jie shuddered and widened his eyes as he saw Risfun holding onto Ying Yue's wrist.

Long Hu said, "Hey, what are you doing!?"

"Sis! Hey, leave her!"

Cocoa threateningly stepped towards him, and his gaze turned more ferocious than ever. His claws were ready to tear apart his throat.

"Arf! Arf!"

Risfun stumbled for a moment, but then he remembered that he brought a gun with him. He took it out and aimed at Cocoa.

Everybody widened their eyes in horror.

"Heh! There is only one answer to filthy dogs like you. A bullet."

Ying Yue turned pale. She didn't want anybody else to get harmed because of her.

"N-no. Don't shoot him."

Cocoa didn't budge and kept his stance.

Chu Jie cried. "Why are you here? Get out! You know sis has more time, then why are you taking her away?"

"Fuck off, kid! Don't tell me what to do."

Long Hu was in no position to help. His arm was hurting like crazy.

Risfun started to drag Ying Yue with him.

"No, sis!!"

Cocoa seemed to stare at his hand that held the gun. He suddenly jumped off to a side, away from the gun's aim, and then leaped towards him in a flash. 

Risfun was startled. The gun almost fell from his hands, but he quickly caught on to it.

"Arf!"

Cocoa raised his paw and slashed his left cheek with his razor-sharp claws.

"Aaaahhh!"

His skin tore, and blood oozed out of his face.

This made him even more furious. He had a muscular build, so unlike other men who lost to Cocoa by only his one strike, Risfun managed to hold onto himself. He was able to resist Cocoa and his attacks.

"Arf! Arf!"

But Cocoa still scratched and bit him wherever he could. They were engaged in a deadly battle where nobody gave up.

Risfun was mad in rage. It broke his patience. He finally secured his gun's grip, and instead of shooting at Cocoa, he aimed at Chu Jie.

Chu Jie froze.

"No!" Ying Yue gasped.

"Heh!" Risfun knew he couldn't shoot him dead because he was the prize and fruit of their patience for waiting for seven days. But he could definitely hurt him.

Risfun pushed Cocoa back with his other hand, and taking advantage of that split second, he fired a shot, and it grazed past Chu Jie's arm.

"Ahhh…"

Chu Jie stumbled and collapsed, clutching his arm.

"Chu Jie!" Long Hu and Ying Yue screamed at once.

She said, "No, stop. I will come with you…"

Cocoa stopped as he heard Chu Jie's whimpers.

"Grrr…"

Cocoa jumped off and ran towards Chu Jie. Chu Jie was sniffling as a sharp pain shot in his arm.

"It hurts…"

Long Hu gritted his teeth. "You bastard! How could you do this?"

Cocoa worriedly circled Chu Jie and was smelling his arm and his wound. He licked on the blood that was trickling out. 

"Hurts…"

"Arf. Arf." He nudged his furry body against him to calm him down.

Risfun sneered. "Well, that takes care of you."

Without waiting for a second longer, he started to drag Ying Yue again.

"Arf!"

"No!" Ying Yue shook her head and signaled him to stop. Cocoa quietly sat back.

Just take care of Chu Jie, she intensely stared at him.

"Ooowww…" he softly howled. His instinct told him that both needed help, but he listened to Ying Yue, who seemed desperate.

Just like how he couldn't leave Bai Li alone at that time in the terminal when he had an anxiety attack, he couldn't leave Chu Jie alone too now. He sensed that he was crying in pain.

Risfun shut the door and threw Ying Yue in another room.

Her chest was heaving breathlessly in fear and panic, and she slowly looked up.

Risfun licked his lips. "You had quite an attitude that night. Let me crush it now into dust. Babe, I am so dying to enter you, yum yum. I wonder how you would taste like…"

Ying Yue didn't want to show she was scared of him, but she felt she was failing.

"You know Rodey's principle. If you touch me, then he won't tolerate it."

Risfun laughed. "That shitty principle of not raping a woman? Tsk. So boring. Don't worry, babe. He won't know anything. I'll make sure of it. Now let's get started…"

And with that, he began to unbuckle his belt. She was shifting backward, but her back bumped on the bed.

"Hmm, you are quite beautiful actually...and now let me taint your flawless body with my marks…"

His pants slipped off, and his hard member sprung out. She looked away in disgust.

"Look. It's so hot and ready to devour you."

He couldn't wait anymore and immediately wanted to ram inside her core.

Ying Yue resisted and protested and threw whatever she could find at him, but he only laughed it off. 

Risfun inclined towards her to grab her shoulder and tear apart her dress. With that bloody and scratched face, he looked even more horrifying.

Ying Yue shut her eyes, the corner of her eyes getting wet. 

It's over…

*CRACK*

She suddenly heard a loud crack, followed by a piercing scream.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"
