Chapter 148 - Big Brother, Can You Wash Me?
Damien gently smiled as he hugged her, "Relax, it's natural to get hurt during fights. Besides, it doesn't even sting the least bit now."
Valentina touched his back softly and sensed that his wound had almost completely healed up.
Feeling relieved, she then asked as they walked, "Big Brother, you didn't win on purpose, right?"
Damien faintly smiled but didn't say anything. Valentina understood from his face that her speculation was right.
She realized that Damien had a few chances to take the wristband from her, but he did not take advantage of them to not hurt her.
Valentina's speculation was correct as Damien didn't use any direct and deadly attacks on her. All he did was merely try to trap her.
He said with an adoring gaze, "Just like I don't like to lose; I also don't want the ones I care about to lose either. Do you think that I am a hypocrite or dislike what I did?"
Valentina shook her head with a radiant smile, "Of course not. I also don't want Big Brother Damien to lose. I am so happy that you are so powerful. But since you said it take it as a game, I didn't try to lose on purpose."
Damien chuckled and kissed her forehead, "You are really a tough opponent for me. If I had fought you in your ethereal beast form, even if I was truly serious, I doubt I would even have a chance to win. You are more powerful than you think."
Damien meant every word he said as he felt that Valentina unconsciously lightened those blood beams just before they slashed him. He felt that if they were any stronger, he wouldn't have gotten up any time soon.
Valentina felt elated and proud hearing his praise. As they walked, she rested her head on his chest, and her mind relaxed, listening to his steady and rhythmic heartbeat.
In the bathroom, Damien had just removed his shirt and pants to take a refreshing bath.
But when he was about to remove his underwear, Valentina entered buck naked.
"Valentina, what are you doing?" Damien asked with a stunned expression.
"Nothing much, Big Brother. I want to help you wash your body. You got injured because of me, and I want to make sure everything is alright." Valentina said while avoiding eye contact.
"Seriously, Valentina? You don't have a better excuse?" Damien wryly chuckled as he focused his gaze on her.
Damien guessed that Valentina's intentions were not purely only to check on his condition.
"It's not an excuse. I mean it." Valentina said as she pursed her lips.
Looking at her pout cutely, Damien sighed and said, "Okay, fine. But only washing my upper body, rest I can take care of."
"Tehehee, okay!" Valentina smiled jubilantly and made Damien sit down on a bath stool.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get the image of her alluring naked body out of his mind.
But as she looked at the two long scars on his back, her heart writhed in self-reproach.
Although his injuries had almost healed and only the scars were remaining, the fact that she hurt him still tormented her mind.
She knew that Damien did his best not to hurt an inch of her skin just as he said and wondered why she couldn't do the same. She realized again how much Damien cared about her and a dreamy smile appeared on her face as she thought about it.
She silently washed his back as she traced her fingers over his scars. But feeling that it was not enough, she stroked over his scars with her tongue.
Damien was startled, feeling a wet and warm feeling over his back. He twisted his neck and asked, "Valentina, why are you licking my back?"
Valentina said with a timid expression, "I feel that the scars must still sting for you. I want to relieve you from any discomfort you might be feeling."
Damien sighed, wondering whether she only wanted to relive his discomfort and nothing else.
But feeling the soothing and relaxing feeling, he didn't feel like refusing her. He simply turned forward with his eyes closed.
Seeing that Damien didn't object to her, she happily continued licking his scars.
'Whew...it really feels good.' Damien's expression became blissful as he basked himself in the gentle and comforting sensation on his back.
Damien initially felt a bit of a stinging sensation on his back due to his injuries, but now he couldn't feel them at all. He wondered if even her saliva had healing properties.
Valentina earnestly kept on licking his back and even covered the areas without any scars.
'His skin tastes so good and smooth.' Valentina relished the sensation she was getting as she licked his bareback.
She never expected that she would feel this good from simply licking his back. She could taste not only his skin but also smell his electrifying blood.
Her nimble fingers slowly crossed over to his chest as she brushed over his toned chest. However, she didn't stop licking, and after a while, she asked, "Big Brother, did you feel good?"
Damien slowly opened his eyes, feeling the soothing sensation vane and disappear. He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, it...it was good." Damien thought that if he told the truth, she might do something outrageous, feeling motivated.
"Really? I knew it, hehe." Valentina giggled as she hugged him from behind, her boobs pressing onto his back.
"Valentina, come on…" Damien's nerves pulsated as he felt her pink buds and soft bosom pressing onto his back.
She twirled her body towards his front as his face came into her sight. Damien's eyes involuntarily moved towards her bare breasts and quickly averted his eyes as he gulped.
"Now that you have finished with my back, you can go," Damien said while trying his best not to look below her neck. He felt that seeing her naked body under bright light was way more dangerous than simply sleeping with her in the dark.
Damien realized that the word 'shyness' was completely absent in her dictionary.
Of course, Valentina didn't mind proudly flaunting her assets before Damien. In fact, she wanted him to admire her as much as possible.
"Big Brother, I never said I was only going to help you with your back. I said I would help you 'wash' your body." Valentina said with an innocent expression.
'Seriously, where did this girl learn to be like this…' Damien felt a sort of Deja Vu hearing her words.
"You should at least put on some clothes. I am the one bathing after all." Damien said while sweating.
"Why? Big Brother already saw me naked, so it shouldn't matter how many times you see my body. Besides, I will also take a bath with you, hehe." Valentina said as she cutely put out her tongue at Damien.
Damien sighed and felt that she was becoming too intelligent for his good.
Valentina softly caressed his toned chest as she imprinted the feel of his body on her memory. Her hands moved down towards his abs and gently pressed her fingers over them, feeling the rippling muscles behind his skin.
She washed his chest with water and quickly moved her head forward to lick his chest.
"Hey, hey, I don't have any scars or injuries there, so there's no need to lick." Damien was surprised that Valentina even wanted to take advantage of his chest.
"But Big Brother, your body seems so tired. Let me re-energize your body with my tongue. You said you liked the feeling of my tongue on your body."
"But that is—"
"No, no, Big Brother already gave your word that I can wash your body, but you didn't say that I couldn't use my tongue to help wash your body. Or are you going to break your word?" Valentina asked with a sulky face.
"Wait, what…fine, do it fast but nothing else!" Damien realized that Valentina's mischievousness wasn't any lesser than his.
"Tehehe, okay!" Valentina giggled as she greedily started licking his chest as if his chest was an irresistible dish to her.
'Oooh, why is her tongue so soft and warm?' Damien wondered whether it was a good idea to let lick his body as he felt that it was too gratifying.
"Hmph, taking advantage of an innocent girl's intentions. Don't you have any shame?" Luna's sneer sounded in his mind.
"She's just a young girl curious about a man's body, that's all. It's of no harm at all."
"More like you want to enjoy yourself while she satisfies her 'curiosity'." Luna snickered.
"Of course not. If it isn't me, who else can she go to?" Damien said in an upright tone.
Valentina was kneeling on the floor while she tasted Damien's skin vigorously. As her tongue went over one of his nipples, she quickly gave a gentle bite on it.
"Ow!" Damien quickly pulled back Damien and flicked her forehead lightly with his finger, "Bad girl, who told you to bite it?" Damien wanted to admonish her but seeing her puckish expression, he felt amused.
Valentina meekly put her finger inside her mouth as she avoided his glance. She then asked timidly, "Then why don't Big Brother wash me now?"
Damien instantly got up and harrumphed, "Hmph, you wish. A big bad girl like you can bathe on your own. You said you have grown up, right?"
Damien quickly got rushed out of the bathroom before she asked any more outrageous things.
"Big Brother, wait!" Valentina tried to catch Damien but could only helplessly grasp the empty air as he rushed out too fast.
Valentina pouted while mumbling to herself, "I will get you one day, Big Brother."
