Levi revealed a helpless look filled with doting as he gazed down at his baby, who was trying hard to hide his self-satisfied smirk as he handed Levi a large white t-shirt. Printed in the middle of the shirt was an adorable cartoon cat with a pink ribbon surrounded by several floating hearts.
Trey’s stifled guffaw could be heard in the background.
Noah expectantly peeked at Levi’s expression in, what he thought to be, sneaky manner, but in Levi’s eyes, it was just adorable to the max.
What could Levi do but play along?
If it made his baby happy, let alone wearing a silly shirt, he’d even wear a skirt or a clown costume.
Thus, Levi very obligingly took the shirt off his baby’s hands, internally trying to picture how his darling would look with such a cute shirt on. It would probably look more like a nightgown on his baby, but damn, it would definitely look adorable!
Seeing how obediently Levi had put on the embarrassing shirt – not only were there no complaints but he didn’t even ask if there were any other shirts available - Noah was very pleased. Any form of lingering displeasure or petty resentment that he might have held on to evaporated, leaving him very satisfied with this brother-in-law.
Noah even thought that seeing this tall and imposing brother-in-law wearing a kitty shirt is so very pleasing to the eye. Hehe, very cute! This is what they call gap moe, right?
Besides, he liked this brother-in-law, to begin with. The man just looked intimidating but was all warm and fluffy inside. Who wouldn’t like such a thoughtful and accommodating elder brother?
And thus, a very gratified Noah, with his eyes curving in delight, led the remaining two men out to the porch.
And Levi finally got a good look at his darling’s backside.
Dear god! Such round, perky, squishy-looking, cute little butt! (♡﹃ ♡)
Must! Restrain! My hand!
Do! Not! Spank!
No pinching either! >︿<
Ah! This is sweet torture! ಥ‿ಥ
Luckily, Levi didn’t need to endure for long, because that bottom was quickly dunked into the water as Noah half-waked, half-swam deeper in. Levi followed him into the water only a step behind, clinging to his side as if afraid the other would drown.
Trey trailed behind them, close enough to jump in to help if his young master needed it, and far enough to be a good backdrop. (〒▽〒)
As the three got used to the pleasant cool temperature of the water lapping at their chest, Levi suddenly remembered a matter: “What happened to the unicorn float?”
Noah had gone into his room with the box containing an inflatable unicorn but came out empty-handed. Levi had been so distracted by his baby’s honey trap that he completely forgot about the rainbow unicorn.
His darling, who was happily waddling about in the waters like a little duckling, enjoying the sand underneath his feet, suddenly stiffened. A moment later, he averted his eyes and mumbled a response under his breath that Levi didn’t catch.
“I… forgot to buy an air pump…” Noah was forced to repeat himself.
Levi’s eyes curved in amusement. Wasn’t his baby simply the cutest? Like a little kid, he excitedly bought the unicorn but forgot about the technicalities of inflating it!
“Is the pump necessary? Can’t it be inflated by exhaling into it?” Levi wasn’t ready to drop this matter. His baby did everything too perfectly, so It was rare to see his delightful embarrassment. He had to enjoy this rare treat to its fullest!
Noah again mumbled a response Levi didn’t catch, his eyes looking everywhere but at Levi.
“Hmm?” Levi let out an inquisitive husky murmur.
Exasperated and embarrassed over having to repeat something so embarrassing multiple times, Noah slapped his hand on the water’s surface with a loud smack, “I can’t blow hard enough!” And then he, in an attempt to hide the flush rising up his neck, proceeded to dunk his head into the water until only the eyes were above the sea level.
Levi’s mouth twitched several times, trying to restrain the deep chuckle that threatened to emerge from his throat, but the curve of his eyes and the playful glow within betrayed his delight.
Only after several seconds of torturous restraint did Levi manage to calm down the rumbling of his chest and purr out a very husky and suggestive “The let me do it. I can blow…very hard.”
Levi’s objectively sexy murmur made chills shoot down Noah’s spine, and he suddenly felt indignant, like a shy maiden being teased by a rogue.
His brother-in-law must have done it on purpose! Sure, he was the first one to say something stupid, but why couldn’t he have pretended not to catch the accidental dirty innuendo?!? Noah was dying out of embarrassment enough as it was! Why did brother-in-law have to tease him about it?! QAQ
Noah’s lips pressed together into a pout, and he turned his head away to hide his now completely red face. Like a cute little ostrich wanting to bury its head in the sand, pretending like nothing happened.
But would Levi let him go just like that?
Of course not! His baby’s embarrassment was so lovely that no wolf would be able to stop the overwhelming urge to tease him! Just look at that yummy look of a fluffy kitten who has been greatly wronged! Cheeks turning redder by the minute as if he was a ripening fruit, promising a mouthful of sweet juice with a single bite! Look at those succulent pouting lips, shiny wet from the water!
If Levi could restrain himself from the temptation to play with this delicacy served in front of him, he wouldn’t be Levi!
Taking advantage of the fact that Noah had his back turned, Levi leaned in close until his lips nearly touched Noah’s cute flushed ear. His hot breath tickled Noah’s sensitive skin as he uttered a deep and sensual: “How about I show you just how hard I can blow? I assure you, I’m very good at it.”
Noah jumped like a cat who had his tail stepped on, clutching his tomato-red right ear. His eyes wide and practically spelling out ‘Foul!!!’ he turned to glare at Levi. Unfortunately, his completely flustered self had no fighting power.
At least not the kind of fighting power he had wanted.
If you measured that ‘other’ type of ‘fighting power’, then, as Levi’s currently parched throat and excited lower regions can testify, Noah was absolutely deadly!
Noah’s ears burned like never before in his life, especially the right one that felt as if there was a feather tickling it, or a breeze leaving soft kisses on the delicate flesh. So itchy, so sensitive, so strange.
Everything that just happened left him flustered to the point of having trouble forming words. And as a person gentle by nature, who never employed aggressive or violent means of communication, he didn’t know how to properly convey his current outrage. Therefore, in a huff, he retaliated with the only thing that came to mind – irately splashing water towards Levi’s face.
To Levi, the entire situation appeared as if an angry kitten was putting on a show of might, using its soft fluffy paws to scratch at his heart, yet doing it with its sharp claws entirely retracted. Not only was there no pain, but he felt a warm current of sugary pleasure surging through every fiber of his being.
And the kitten, completely unaware of just how irresistible he really looked in the eyes of others, continued to huff and puff, glaring at Levi in, what he thought was a domineering way, ‘Fear me, rawr! I’ll have you know I am very mighty! I’m warning you! This lord is not to be provoked!!’
Noah was getting more and more miffed. To express his displeasure and teach Levi that he, Noah, wasn’t easy to bully, he’d domineeringly drenched the miscreant with water from head to toe. Yet not only did that not teach Levi a lesson, the other even dared to smirk in a rather seductive way, directing an intense look Noah’s way filled with what seemed to be…adoration??
Noah: You still dare mess with this bro?!? QAQ
Blackie: (◞‸ლ) …no, he is not messing around…he’s definitely very serious.
Noah ground his teeth and snorted a puff of hot air through his nose, “Oh? Is that right? You are so mighty, are you? Then let this lord see how well you blow!”
Levi’s eyes widened at the challenge, and his mind couldn’t help but picture the image of him doing precisely that to his baby. The image of his darling writhing underneath him perfectly overlapped with the current image of flustered Noah in front of him.
So, what did Levi do?
What else could he do but pounce at the mouthwatering prey that kept stoking his desire?
“Gyaah!” Noah yelped as he was abruptly tackled off his feet into the water.He flailed about trying to get back on his feet and out of his assailant’s grasp. His long shirt floated up in the water. Levi’s arms found their way around Noah’s waist, his fingers sliding over supple, naked flesh.A shiver ran through Noah, and his breath caught in his throat. Wherever those callused fingers touched, felt hot and itchy, yet the sensation wasn’t unpleasant. On the contrary, when they slid over Noah’s smooth skin, it felt stimulating. As if suddenly his senses became more acute, allowing him to feel every little thin
Noah covered his still very itchy and sensitive belly with his hands protectively.“Brother, you are too much!” he indignantly splashed some more water towards Levi. “You can’t do this kind of thing! I’m no longer a child!”However, to Levi, his mewling sounded coquettish instead of reprimanding.“Mn. I know,” Levi lightly sprinkled back.Seeing that the only reaction he got bac
Noah patted the dolphin he was riding, and it understood which direction Noah wanted to go from the pats. It slowly, carefully slid towards Levi until Noah was in arms reach of Levi.“Or would you prefer to ride together?” Noah very thoughtfully suggested.Levi’s dark eyes suddenly lit up into resplendent pools of blue. The gloom replaced by intense heat.“Ah, ah, Blackie, see that excitement? Gosh, he is just like a little kid!”
“I was wrong about you,” Levi apologized very sincerely.Then magnanimously added, “I forgive you for your transgressions. Actually, that from before…totally doesn’t count as a first kiss, so no need to worry. I won’t be eating you for lunch.”The conversation partner, whom Levi was talking to as he waited for Noah to fetch the unicorn float from his room, was naturally, a dolphin: ‘if you are apologetic… please… just get off of my back already– No, wait, the recipient of the kiss wasn’t even me!!’ QAQ
“No, let her sleep some more,” Levi spoke resolutely.However, the finality in his tone didn’t stop Noah from raising an objection, “Brother… it's nearly 12 o’clock, I'm pretty sure she is awake…”Levi’s arms around Noah’s waist unconsciously tightened, “But what if she isn't and your message disturbs her nap?”Noah… couldn’t argue with that. There was indeed a possibility of that happening... it’s just that the chance was so low!
By the time Noah had climbed back into the bungalow, the ringtone had long stopped. Though Communicators were waterproof, Noah really didn’t want to get sand and salt inside of his, so he had left it in his room when he changed.After putting it back on his wrist, and going through user authentication, he could finally see a missed call and several received text messages.The messages all came from his sister an hour ago. “Oh, sister is awake after all.”The first message was: “Mom told me Levi dropped in this morn
Remembering that Case was still waiting on the line, Noah resumed the call very apologetically, “Um… sorry, bro, my brother-in-law shot the idea down,” then he quickly added, “he is rather shy with strangers. You must have heard all about Astar Levi before, he isn’t really a social butterfly…”Hearing no response from the other end, Noah felt even worse about the whole matter, “Sorry…” Noah spoke tentatively, “But, we can go have some fun another day! My brother-in-law has taken several vacation days for this upcoming wedding, and I doubt he’d be spending all of them with me. He and sis will probably ditch me soon to go on a date somewhere.”
Levi kicked their table over to its side and ducked behind it with Noah in his bosom.The eruption coming from only two tables behind theirs reached their position within a moment.Trey’s shield had not finished forming before it was brutally shattered with a resounding crack, knocking him off his feet to the ground.Abruptly, all noises were drowned out by cracking of the concrete, the sizzling of water and hissing of steam. And then, a moment later, a hair-raising shriek of agony came from the center of the eruption, which was imm
