Master of Lust-Chapter 85: End of the road

Chapter - 85

"What else were you expecting?" Rick rebuked Evelina, "A sore pussy, weak legs and tight jeans. I'm honestly shocked you didn't turn into a human anchor out there in the pond."

Rick's comment caught Evelina completely off guard. She felt her cheeks burning, a mix of embarrassment and amusement spreading across her face, as she heard Rick scold her and talk about her pussy and the sex they had in the middle of the forest, while her man lay unconscious. Her head hung low in shyness.

Ding!

As the chime sounded, Rick didn't need to check his system to know that he had successfully completed the quest of rescuing Evelina.

Rick gave Evelina some time to collect herself, knowing that the situation had taken a toll on her. When he felt that she was ready, he gently asked if she was prepared to keep going.

"You good to keep moving?" Rick inquired.

"Hmmm" Evelina gave a faint nod, and with Rick's assistance, she gradually got back on her feet.

As they readied themselves all of them began to move deeper inside the cave, and the rabbit took the lead, its little body deftly maneuvering through the dim passages. Rick was right on the bunny's heels, confident in his movements. Evelina followed closely, her footsteps reverberating in the underground hush.

From time to time, she'd sneak a glance at Rick, who appeared utterly comfortable in this enigmatic setting.

As they ventured further into the tunnel, it gradually branched into two separate routes. Rick's brow furrowed as he grappled with the decision. He pondered the options, searching for the best way forward in this bewildering labyrinth.

However, it was the rabbit that appeared to have an answer. With a couple of nose twitches that seemed as practiced as a pro, it confidently selected a path. Rick couldn't help but be impressed by the critter's decisiveness.

Rick didn't hesitate for a second; he simply trailed the rabbit down the chosen path. Evelina kept right behind him. Rick's confidence in the rabbit was unquestionable, and it piqued Evelina's curiosity.

Unable to contain her inquisitiveness, Evelina finally voiced her wonder. "I've been wondering. What's the deal with you and that rabbit? Why do you trust it so much?" Her question held a sincere curiosity, and she was genuinely intrigued by their peculiar partnership.

Rick turned his head to give Evelina a sly grin as they pressed on down the tunnel. "Well, you know, the rabbit's cute."

Evelina arched an eyebrow, obviously anticipating a more substantial explanation. "That's it? Just because the rabbit's cute?"

Rick laughed, maintaining his usual laid-back demeanor. "Why not? You're cute too, and that's exactly why I saved you," he replied with a wink, eliciting a blush from Evelina as she quickly averted her gaze.

Evelina responded with a smirk, calling him out, "Liar... Isn't it just because if I died, you wouldn't have a chance to get the money back?"

"That maybe true, but why do you think I chose you, instead of the old man?" Rick didn't deny her claim, instead, he looked down at her perky breasts, tightly sticking to her wet shirt, "You know I can't lie about it. Do you want me to put my hands on them and swear?"

"You... Why are you so bad?" Evelina's blush intensified as she observed Rick's shameless lecherous gaze. Her defenses were crumbling, and her poker face was slipping in front of him.

As they journeyed down the selected path, the rabbit continued to serve as their guide, guiding them through a labyrinthine network of tunnels. The cave appeared to be an infinite maze, with numerous forks and branches along the way.

However, at each juncture, the rabbit confidently chose a path with a simple twitch of its nose, and Rick unwaveringly followed its lead, putting his complete faith in their small, furry navigator.

Finally, after navigating through more twists and turns, the trio found themselves facing an enormous door, an imposing structure made of thick, metallic material. They gathered before it, their interest fully piqued.

Rick approached the massive door, studying it intently, a growing sense of anticipation in the air. "Well, this looks promising," he muttered to himself. "Now, how do we go about opening it?"

The rabbit, showing a surprising level of curiosity, joined the inspection of the door. It sniffed at the surface as if trying to locate a hidden clue or mechanism. Evelina, equally intrigued, joined Rick in examining the door, her eyes scanning for any indications of how to unlock it.

Evelina posed the question, her attention fixed on the metallic surface. "Do you think there's a way to open it?"

Rick nodded in contemplation. "There must be some sort of mechanism or clue around here. Let's search for any hints or switches."

The trio began to explore the area around the door, their hands running over the stone walls, checking for hidden levers or buttons. The rabbit was particularly active, sniffing and tapping its paw against the wall, as if it were as invested in the discovery as Rick and Evelina.

Evelina's keen eyes spotted a stone with a black screen near the door and quickly pointed it out to Rick. "Check this out," she said, tapping the black screen. To their surprise, the screen suddenly came to life. It was an LED screen, likely the key to unlocking the door. The trio gathered around the screen, intrigued by what it might reveal.

Evelina, her attention drawn to a series of symbols etched into the stone nearby, exclaimed, "Look at this! Maybe these symbols have something to do with opening the door?"

The challenge, however, was that there were numerous symbols on the screen, and deciphering their significance was no simple task. Rick narrowed his eyes at the symbols, his mind working overtime as he contemplated whether they might form a code or puzzle of some sort. "It could very well be a code or some kind of puzzle," he mused.

But when Rick looked at the screen and the imposing iron door, a touch of unease crept over him. Raising an eyebrow and wearing a concerned expression, he voiced his apprehension. He couldn't help but wonder about the potential repercussions of trying to breach the enormous door, "Are you completely certain about this place? We could inadvertently stir up some unnecessary trouble."

Rick's concern stemmed from the fear that attempting to open the door might lead to unforeseen complications. Their expedition had evolved from simple cave exploration and plant collection into something far more intricate and uncertain.

Evelina stood before the imposing metallic door, her gaze fixed upon it. With a tone of certainty, she turned to Rick, "This is the place," she declared, her voice filled with determination.

Her confidence remained resolute as she added, "I'm certain. This cave actually belongs to my family. I'm just here to claim what's already ours."

Rick arched an eyebrow, a skeptical expression crossing his face. "If it's your family's cave, why don't you just open the door?" he inquired, curious about the reason behind their current predicament.

But as soon as Rick posed the question, Evelina's demeanor suddenly changed. She fidgeted with her fingers, her gaze darting around nervously. She stammered in response, "Well, you see... I don't actually know how to open the doors."

Rick arched an eyebrow, clearly taken aback by this revelation. "You don't know?" he exclaimed, his surprise evident. "What sort of nonsense is this?"

Evelina bit her lip, her expression one of embarrassment. "Well, you see... it was my father who created this cave. I only have the map. I don't know how to open the doors."

Rick's skepticism heightened as he absorbed Evelina's response. "So, no one in your family is aware of this cave? Or how to access it?" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Evelina's answer was delivered with a hesitant shake of her head, and the more she spoke, the less convincing her explanation sounded. Rick couldn't help but harbor doubts about her true motives, especially with her feeble excuse. She mumbled, "No, they don't know... and I've never really had the opportunity to ask anyone about it."

Rick couldn't shake off his doubts as he regarded Evelina with an appraising gaze. Suspicion lingered, but the irresistible pull of uncovering the secrets behind the sealed door was too enticing to ignore.

Although his reservations lingered, the mystery behind this sealed entrance only deepened Rick's curiosity. The evident effort invested in concealing whatever lay beyond piqued his interest.

Facing the gate, Rick turned to Evelina and remarked, "You know... I might just have a trick or two up my sleeve to help us get past this."

Evelina's excitement grew upon hearing Rick's words. "You do?"

"But... But there is something," Rick, however, quickly tempered her enthusiasm.

As soon as Rick uttered the word "but," a puzzled frown etched itself onto Evelina's face. She gazed at him with a blend of concern and unease. "A catch? What are you talking about?"

Rick paused for a moment, contemplating his next words. "Yeah, I do have a little condition."

Evelina's initial surprise quickly transformed into a blend of frustration and disbelief. "You've got to be joking. It's like you're a magnet for trouble, always making things more complicated."

Rick chuckled, his tone surprisingly relaxed considering the gravity of their circumstances. "Well, life's a wild ride, and I like to keep things spicy."

Evelina couldn't help but roll her eyes, but a reluctant smile tugged at the corner of her lips. "Fine. Tell me, what's the deal this time?"

Rick didn't hesitate, and his candid response took Evelina by surprise. "Well, you see, I'd want some compensation for helping you out. Maybe a bit of extra money, and... well, yeah, I wouldn't mind sharing a sleeping bag with you again," he said with a cheeky grin.

Rick sighed and admitted, "To be honest, I really do."

Evelina's eyes widened in astonishment, her cheeks flushing with a blend of surprise and embarrassment. She stammered, struggling to formulate a response.

"But I won't ask for that," Rick continued, leaning in closer with a hushed tone. "What I'm truly interested in is what lies beyond that door. You share that secret, and I will help us get inside."

Rick's gaze remained steady, his proposal unambiguous but delivered with a touch of playfulness, "So, what do you say?" He asked, a mischievous spark in his eyes.

Evelina's expression softened as she mulled over the proposition. After a brief moment of consideration, she gave a nod. "Alright, it's a deal. I'll spill the beans and tell you everything I know, and what I am looking for behind this gate."
