Rebirth in the Apocalypse: Third Time's a Charm



"Same situation as you," said Liu Wei as he looked at his Sweetheart. "We went in after you and were grabbed by the ankle and dragged in different directions."

"I wonder why," sighed Li Dai Lu, and Liu Wei just wanted to go over there and wrap her in his arms.

"Let's get a warm shower, something hot to drink, and come up with a better plan."

"What? You didn't like my 'fuck it' plan?" smiled Li Dai Lu.

"No," admitted Wang Chao. "I really didn't."

"Meh," she said with a shrug. "I wasn't that big of a fan of it either, but I really couldn't come up with anything better."

"I think anything is better than 'fuck it'," grumbled Liu Yu Zeng as he came to his feet. He swayed for a few seconds before straightening up and taking a step toward where Li Dai Lu was still on the ground. Holding out his hand, he offered her help standing.

"Everyone's a critic," she grumbled as she took his hand. As soon as she was standing, Wang Chao came up behind her and wrapped his arm around her waist. 

"It's fine," he said giving her a kiss to the top of her head. "Let him plan the next one."

Li Dai Lu chuckled and the five of them walked towards where a giant red barn decorated the landscape. Hopefully, the barn would be close to the house. But Liu Wei was pretty sure that if they were going in the wrong direction, Li Dai Lu would let them know.

----

It might have taken us a while to reach the house. I had completely forgotten that the horse barn was at the other end of the field from the house so by the time we got there, we had to turn around and walk all the way back again.

Apparently, I would have to spend more time in my space to get a better sense of direction. At least by the time I got home, my legs were shaking for a completely different reason.

"Make yourselves at home," I said with a wave of my hand as we all walked into the farmhouse. My head was already focused on the bath that was calling my name. The only issue would be trying to get out of this wetsuit. If it was anything like trying to get out of a bathing suit, I might need help.

I groaned at the thought as I climbed up the stairs, not really worried about where the guys were or what they were doing. I was pretty sure that each one of them had been here at least once. And if I was wrong, well, then they would learn the hard way where everything was.

I reached back and tried to grab the string that was attached to the zipper at the back of the wetsuit. Why on Earth the designer thought that was a good idea, I would never know. It must have been a man though because all women knew the pain of trying to dislocate their shoulder trying to get a dress zipped up without help.

I had just managed to reach the string when it was taken out from my fingers.  I think you should take a look at

"Let me get that," purred Wang Chao as he slowly unzipped the back of the suit. I would love to say that what happened next was so steamy that it would cause you to have a nosebleed, but the truth of the matter was the exact opposite. 

Have you ever seen an elephant seal molt? I think it was called catastrophic molting. And I was doing my very best to replicate that scene. 

There was a lot of squirming as both Wang Chao and I tried to get me out of a wet…wetsuit. I moaned and groaned in frustration at how the wetsuit refused to come off and I think at one point in time I was even crying. 

Yeah, so not sexy.

But finally, I was naked and ready to step into my ever-so-hot bath to burn off what little skin I had left after that experience.

Wang Chao? Yeah, that bastard simply undid the zipper and managed to pull the suit off, starting at his shoulders, then his arms, over his torso, and finally to his feet where he stepped out of the contraption.

If you thought that I was staring at his body, thinking about how much I wanted to lick every drop of water off of his chest and abs, you were very much mistaken.

In fact, I was trying to hold back a murderous rage right now at how easily he got out of that thing compared to me. 

The man needed to die. It was just that simple.

Wang Chao put his foot into my bath water and hissed at the temperature. "How can you stand it so hot?" he asked as he took the appendage out.  The part that was originally underwater had turned bright red while the part outside was still pale. 

I looked at him and raised an eyebrow. Apparently, he was not as unfathomable as he thought he was. Poor baby couldn't stand hot water.

"I am cold," I said with a shrug, lowering myself even deeper into the bathtub until only my head was above water.

"How? I am pretty sure that this temperature is the same as the seventh circle of Hell. Hell, maybe it's even hotter, I am not sure," grumbled Wang Chao as he quickly got into the tub. He hissed again before settling down.

"Is that the same circle as those that can take off their wetsuits gracefully? I can never remember," I said as I stuck my tongue out at him.

Okay, I will fully admit, I knew my baths were overly warm. In fact, if I don't have an issue getting into the water, it wasn't hot enough for me. See, my problem was that after a few minutes, the water started to quickly cool down. So, if my water was simply warm, within seconds, it would be cold enough that I wanted to add hot water.

But then my body got used to that hot water so I would have to increase the temperature until the bath was completely full and I was sitting there, my teeth chattering.
