Owodog took one look into their new room and did a double take. He spun round to face Ashley, who was following closely behind him, and collided with her. Her huge-framed sunglasses covered most of her face and didn’t reveal her expression.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Owodog frowned. “Did you tell them what our requirements for the room?”
Ashley shrugged nonchalantly. “They said they’re out of said rooms that are available,” she said, knowing very well what Owodog was referring to. She pushed past Owodog and dragged her bags into the room, leaving a wide-eyed Owodog standing at the door. “What the heck are you still standing there for? Waiting for Kale to find you?”
Owodog exhaled a long breath, then walked in after her, closing the door and latching it. He dumped his bag on the chair and went out to the balcony. This time the room was much higher, at 23 floors as compared to the previous ten floors. He was afraid of heights, but strangely, he didn’t seem fazed by the huge drop from where he stood to the bottom of the building, as he propped his elbows onto the railing and gazed into the horizon. He probably had too many things on his mind to remember his phobia.
Ashley joined him a moment later, bringing him a can of iced Milo as she sipped on hers. He took it and mumbled his thanks. The sun was still in the process of climbing to its highest point in the sky, so it was still relatively cool. “A penny for your thoughts.”
“I need more than just a penny.” Owodog replied, sounding the slightest bit bitter.
“How so?”
“You don’t want to know.”
“Who says I don’t?”
“Detective Zhuang Hao Quan.”
“But Detective Ashley Wu says she does.”
“But Detective Zhuang calls the shots.”
“But Detective Wu is not just an Assistant Detective anymore.”
“But Detective Wu is still under Detective Zhuang’s bidding.”
Ashley hit Owodog’s head. “You are damn irritating.”
Owodog said nothing and gulped another mouthful of his Milo.
“What’s wrong with you, huh?”
“Everything is wrong with me,” Owodog said, his voice showing signs of the agitation that was rising in him. “I am the most useless detective who can’t even work on his own case and doesn’t even have a chance to arrest the one criminal that he most wanted to nab in the whole world.” He avoided the part about being so close to her.
“You do,” Ashley said softly, “You can.”
Owodog glanced at Ashley with a quizzical look. She continued facing the ocean without answering, so Owodog pressed on, “Is there something you want to tell me?”
“Yeah, I do. I want to ask you something first.”
“Go ahead.”
“Do you think it’s possible to have loved someone for all your life without realizing it?”
Owodog swore his heart stopped for a moment as he wondered what Ashley meant by that. He turned to face Ashley, to find that she was gazing intently at him as she waited for his response. Then he realized that he knew exactly what she meant, and there was no need for him to give a verbal reply. He waited for Ashley’s next move.
“He’s after you and me right now, and he’s not likely to let us off if he finds us – when he finds us. And one day that he doesn’t find us, then more innocent people are going to die. Because of me.” Ashley turned away from Owodog and placed her empty Milo can on the small table in the balcony. She let her forearms rest on the railings again as she watched a few birds flying above the ocean.
“I don’t want you to die, Ao Quan. I don’t want to die either. But that’s a risk I have to take.” She twirled to her left where Owodog was already staring at her. Ashley took his Milo can and placed it beside hers on the table. Reverting her gaze back to him, she said, “Quan, can you do me a favour?”
“Mm-hmm. Yeah,” he answered, his voice already starting to sound husky as he leaned towards her.
Ashley smiled somewhat bashfully as she extended her arms around Owodog. She was taking the initiative and Owodog gladly allowed her to do so. She raised her head slowly to match the angle of his then closed her lips around his.
Owodog wound his arms around her waist as the kiss roughened. He had wanted her since forever and now he couldn’t wait anymore. His hands moved to position themselves right beneath her derriere and he lifted her up so he could have her where he needed it most.
Realizing that Ashley had to have already thought out all of these, Owodog carried her up and moved themselves into the room. Releasing her for a moment, he shut the sliding doors and pulled the curtains close. Then Owodog moved forward till she was backed into a wall. Grinning slyly at her, he dipped his head and kissed her furiously, their noses mashed against each other.
Ashley hooked her arms around his neck as she struggled to wiggle higher to put the bulge in his pants to good use. One of her legs was already wrapped around Owodog while she tiptoed with the other. He smiled against her lips as he slipped his hands under her blouse and unhooked her bra. Their kiss only intensified when he covered her breasts with his hands and fondled them. She had wanted to say something clever, but decided against it because she didn’t want to break the kiss and her brain had frozen.
Owodog used his thumbs to rub her in continuous circles until he made her as hard as he was. Then his hands skimmed across her belly until they met with her jeans. He tried to unbuckle the belt but was too anxious and ended up fumbling with it like an idiot. Ashley sensed his impatience and pushed his hands away.
“Now I agree that you’re useless.” She said to him as she unfastened her belt buckle for him.
Owodog shrugged in reply. “All thanks to you,” he answered with an arch smile. Closing the distance between their lips again, he finally managed to open the fly of her jeans and pushed them down to her knees. Then he slowed down his pace by gliding his hands all over her bottom but never removing the barrier in the way of his hands.
Ashley dropped her hands all the way to his pants and unbuttoned it just so she could stick her hand in it. When her right hand came in contact with his bare flesh, she felt him give a little jolt. She massaged him until he could no longer take it anymore. He peeled his lips from hers as if it would burn to do so.
When she gazed at him, Owodog’s eyes were heavy-lidded with intent. She guessed he had been waiting far too long to survive any more foreplay. Pushing him backwards onto the queen-sized bed, she kicked off her jeans and moved forward to tug his off him. He wasn’t wearing anything under his jeans, and she realized that once his jeans were on the floor. Taking off her panties, she literally pounced onto him.
Settling into a comfortable position on him, she continued teasing him with her hands as he watched her.
“If there’s anyone who wants to murder me, it’ll be you, woman.” Owodog said in a raspy drawl.
“It’s not murder. It’s just torture.”
“Can I press charges?”
“Can we settle it out of court amicably?”
“I’ll think about it,” Owodog suddenly lifted her hands off him and took off her blouse. It came off easily and her already loosened bra fell limply halfway down her arms. He simply grabbed it and flung it onto the floor. Then he flipped her onto her back beside him and climbed on top of her.
He ran his eyes over her bare body for a brief moment and appeared to think. “Okay, your request for an out-of-court settlement is accepted.”
Ashley said nothing as she began undoing the buttons on his shirt. She took quite a while because she got very distracted by the presence of his hard-on between her legs. Biting her lips in an effort to concentrate, she looked at his face, only to find an impish grin spread across it. Refusing to give up, she tugged harder at each button, until she could get his shirt out of the way. It landed on the floor as well, probably with the rest of their clothes.
Owodog lay onto her as he moved his hand up and down the insides of her thigh. She arced against him but he wasn’t planning to stop. Her nails dug into his back when he entered her with his fingers. The initial sensation rushed through her and she went rigid for a while.
Still not giving each other what they really wanted, Owodog trailed kisses from her mouth to her breasts where he lingered for a while then continued to her belly. He was in control then, and Ashley liked it. She was the one who initiated the whole act; it was time he took over and unleash his rule over her.
When he finally did stop teasing her and reached for a condom, Ashley thought she couldn’t be happier. But she did notice that there were more than a few condoms that fell onto the chair next to the bed when Owodog tried to take one out of his bag.
“Pretty confident, huh, aren’t you?”
“You have no idea.”
He tore the plastic film off the rubber and quickly covered himself. When he eventually settled himself inside Ashley, she cried out softly against his face and pressed hard against his butt, with a desperate need for him to go all the way. Her body arched towards him in a reflex action but Owodog continued doing everything except what they both needed.
“Quan—”
“Shut up.”
“Ao Quan!”
“Shut up, Ash.”
She did for a few seconds before the silence was broken by her yelp.
Owodog smirked against her lips and both of them knew that their day had really only just started.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Four hours and a bunch of condoms later, Owodog was still nestled inside Ashley when he realized that his cell was ringing. Without detaching himself from her, he stretched out his hand to grab it.
“Zhuang Hao Quan.” His words were slurred, but at least his voice did not give any indication of what he had been doing.
“Ao Quan! What the fuck have you been doing? We’ve been trying to reach you for an hour!”
His eyes suddenly widened and he propped himself higher up the pillow, while still hugging Ashley tightly to himself. Obviously, he was very awake then. “You did?” He pressed the ‘loudspeaker’ button on his cell and held it so both he and Ashley could both listen.
Ashley saw Landon’s name on the screen and straightaway came back to her senses as well.
“YEAH WE DID! We tried both your cells for at least sixty times! Ben and I almost went crazy! And you should have seen Matt’s face.”
Owodog and Ashley exchanged chagrin glances between each other. And Ashley could feel her face colouring up. Not hearing any of their cells ring was ridiculous, and she had never let such a thing happen before. No matter what she was preoccupied with, she never failed to respond to an urgent call. She felt so abashed that she buried her face in Owodog’s neck.
“Sorry,” was all Owodog could say to Landon. On one hand, Owodog really didn’t know how to reply Landon, on the other, Ashley’s sudden movement made his breathing stop for a moment.
“Forget it, man. It doesn’t matter now,” Landon stopped speaking for a brief moment, as if trying to prepare them for what he was going to say next. “If either of you have been expecting this, then good for you. If not… Brace yourselves. We just found another body.”
“Shit,” Owodog cursed under his breath.
“We’re working on it. Matt’s got in another team to help us. But I think you know – things aren’t looking too good. As much as none of us want to admit it, that psycho killing machine is too clever for us.”
Ashley looked up again as she desperately wanted to comment and disagree with Landon, because she knew exactly how to get Kale. But she reminded herself that they were all detectives, and they all had to have thought about this before. Clearly, it wouldn’t even require a halfwit to know that the only reason why none of them had brought this idea up was because no one wanted to put anyone else in danger.
But the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was weird. It wasn’t as if she was some weak and delicate lady who needed protection all the time and couldn’t even go up against the killer whose case she was working on.
Once Owodog hung up, Ashley moved away from him and rolled onto the other side of the bed.
He looked at her as if someone had just kicked him in the groin.
“You know the only way to catch Kale is for me to wave myself in front of him, right?” She demanded.
Owodog marvelled at her 180-degrees change in attitude. “Fuck, I should have known something was wrong when you said that that’s a risk you have to take.” He rubbed his forehead absent-mindedly.
“I don’t understand why you’re trying to stop me from being the bait. It’s not like I can’t do it!”
His expression hardened. “Look, Ash, I can’t let you do it, all right? It’s too dangerous.”
Remembering that Owodog was one of Kale’s targets as well, albeit one that was less important, she glanced at him. “Were you… Were you planning to lure him out yourself?”
Owodog sighed and shot her a resigned smile. “Guess you’re not my best partner for nothing.”
“Of course, you idiot! And if you consider me your best partner, then we’re going to do this together.” Ashley stuck out her pinky at him, and he laughed, hooking his around hers. “So, when do you plan to tell Landon?”
“When Kale Chou is safely handcuffed, has his feet bound together, his mouth taped, a gun pointed at his head and his balls kicked till they become the size of his head,” Owodog answered, almost without hesitation. He pulled Ashley towards him and rested her head on his shoulder.
She looked at him accusingly. “You seem to have thought this out better than I have.”
Owodog shrugged playfully. “That’s because I’m Detective Zhuang Hao Quan! I call the shots, remember? I’m the leader. I give you commands.”
Ashley made a face at him as she snuggled close to him. “Not right now I’m not going to let you,” she said, then her voice took on a more serious edge, “And when are we going to carry out what we’re supposed to do?”
Owodog peered at the remaining unused condoms that had ended up scattered all over the floor. Reverting his gaze back to Ashley, he said, “If you’re not tired, I would say an hour or so. No, actually…” Owodog paused as he weighed his options. “Ah, fuck it. Before evening.” Ashley did not even have time to let her brain generate a reply because Owodog suddenly locked his lips with hers and completely sucked the breath out of her.
