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?"
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?"
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."
