104 A SENSUAL PUNISHMEN

Everyone was having fun as the game continued.

Clay has the biggest sense of entitlement. Kristie could never survive on her own. Nella needs therapy. 

"Come on, guys. How about my friends here?"

Nella commented as she mentioned her highschool chums, who were also minions of Savannah.

"Just wait, Nella. Everyone will have their own fair share."

Erin continued with her roll calling. Indeed, they were all mentioned.

Lily was most likely to stab you in the back. Daphne mistakenly thinks she's smart. And Anika was the least likely they see would win. 

Everyone was laughing at the tags that were given to each one of them.

"I am the moodiest one of all?" 

Zoe reacted when she learned that she got the highest vote on this question. 

"You're really surprised?" Erin responded to her reaction. 

"Yeah. I was surprised that people get to know the real me in just a short span of time." 

Zoe chuckled as she glanced around her. They were also in a teasing mode with her.

"It's so obvious. One moment you're just quietly in a corner. And then the next you're breathing fire like a dragon. And it's lovely. Don't get me wrong. No one knows what's going on in that lovely head of yours." 

Kristie joined in the fun. 

It's strange that she didn't find it annoying. Instead, she was amused that there are people who really know her by now.

"Do you want me to tell you what I am thinking about now? It's time to celebraaaaate!"

"What? Why? Oh yeah! We won!"

Kristie jumped up upon realization of their victory.

Zoe was the last one standing and she cut the rope of the last Tasman castaway.

"Yehey! Whooo!" The Norfolks hugged each other.

"Zoe was indeed a blessing and not a curse to us." They all agreed. 

"Thank you, Zoe." They bowed to her.

"Don't mention it. It's all us," She said as she extended her hands to form a group hug.

"Not so fast, assuming people," Savannah entered in. 

"We just got a tie. And we need a tiebreaker to know who will win. Isn't that right, Ms. Event Coordinator?"

She raised an eyebrow at Erin. 

"That's correct. Let's just take a break before we proceed on to our tie-breaker game. Congratulations Norfolks. And cheers, Zoe, for winning our first immunity challenge."

Zoe heaved out a sigh of relief. "Finally."

Even though they were not physically active during the game, she felt like she was running out of air. 

It was maybe because of what happened to her last night and she has not fully recovered yet. 

"I need to take a nap." 

She muttered to herself as she went back to Raigon's tent. 

After drinking some medicine, she closed her eyes and slept.

While her mind was resting, she heard someone unzipping the opening of the tent.

She couldn't believe who she was seeing.

"Raigon? I-I didn't expect you to be early. I thought you'll be gone for a while." 

He did not answer her as he closed it back.

"Is everything okay?" 

Zoe stood up and checked if it really was Raigon. 

He swiveled back and stared at her with furrowed eyebrows and clenched jaw. 

Like a scalded kitten, Zoe was taken aback. "W-what did I do wrong?"

But deep inside, she was glad to see him again after their last encounter. 

In fact, she was so used to being with him she was disappointed when her eyes didn't see him when she first opened her eyes again.

What happened next blew Zoe out of her mind. 

Raigon rushed towards her, swung her around, and lay her down on the bed again. 

But Zoe didn't flinch. She even raised up her hand and touched his face.

"You're alive," she smiled unconsciously at him. "My savior…"

Raigon was even more surprised at Zoe's reaction. He was expecting her to push him away. 

But now her fingers were even grazing his face.

His breathing became ragged and heavy as he was just on top of her.

"You've broken your promise."

Raigon whispered as he let his hand move freely just like hers. 

He removed strands of hair that were blocking his view of her ethereal face.

"What promise?"

Zoe asked him as she curled his long locks with her dainty finger.

Her lovely lips curved up in a smile.

'I must be going crazy from going back and forth to a hidden land and modern world, from the past to the present. Is this another flashback or is it real now?' Zoe thought to herself.

"You promised to take care of yourself."

"Oh! I did, didn't I?" Zoe's arms glided to Raigon's back and pulled him closer to her.

"I'm sorry," she whispered to his ear.

Her lips touched it, sending shivers down his spine. 

They were so close, Raigon could smell Zoe's natural scent coming out of her neck. 

He didn't control himself as his pointed nose traced from the back of her ears going down to her neck and then to her clavicle, sniffing every part of her skin.

"You know what happens when a slave breaks a promise on my territory?"

His warm breath grazed on her shoulders making her more delirious that she is now in her fever.

Her fingers worked her way up to his nape and caressed it, as she takes pleasure in what Raigon is doing to her.

'I must be really sick right now. This feels so real.' 

"Punish me now, my prince." She managed to breathe out after gulping a build-up of saliva on her throat.

As soon as he heard those words from her lips, his thirsty lips pressed on hers. He wasn't satisfied as it descended down to her two peaks and even the small mound between her legs.

Zoe's body went rigid with surprise. Her body trembled as euphoric warmth blossomed within her.

'So this is what it feels like.'

Zoe thought to herself as it was her first time to experience that.

She tried to catch her breath as his warm lips make her wet and ready when someone called Raigon from outside the tent. 

"Your Highness!"

Raigon pulled away and was about to stand up.

Zoe pulled him back towards her.

"No, don't leave me."

Raigon kissed her forehead and cupped her face. "I'll be back no matter what. I promise."
