Despite his concern about his shoes, he didn’t seem to mind as I pressed my grimy face against his shoulder. “Last time it was a cemetery, and now the bottom of a well,” he remarked. “What were you doing anyway?” As I explained, his tone became icy. “So, you saved a murderer and let yourself be abandoned. Do you have some sort of death wish?” “Why are you so angry?” Pushing back his hat, I searched his face. It was a mistake, for faced with his unnerving good looks, I could only drop my eyes. “You might have broken your neck. Why can’t you leave these things to the proper authorities?” “I didn’t do it on purpose.” Incredibly, we were arguing again. “And where were you all this time? You could have sent me a message!” “How was I supposed to do that when you never left the house alone?” “But you could have come at any time. I was waiting for you!” Er Lang was incensed. “Is this the thanks I get?” If I had thought it through, I would never have done it. But I grasped the collar of his rope and pulled his face to mine. “Thank you,” I said, and kissed him. I meant to break away at once, but he caught me, his hand behind my head. “Are you going to complain about this?” he demanded. Wordlessly, I shook my head. My face reddened, remembering my awkward remarks about tongues last time. He must have recalled them as well, for he gave me an inscrutable look. “Open your mouth then.” “Why?” “I’m going to put my tongue in.” That he could joke at a time like this was really unbelievable. Despite my outrage, however, I flung myself into his arms. Half laughing, half furious, I pressed my mouth fiercely against his. He pinned me against the well shaft. The stone chilled my back through my wet clothes, but my skin burned where he held my wrists. Gasping, I could feel the heat of him as his tongue slipped inside. My pulse raced; my body trembled uncontrollably. There was only the hard pressure of his mouth, the slick thrust of his tongue. I wanted to cry, but no tears came. A river was melting in me, my core dissolving like wax in his arms. My ears hummed, I could only hear the rasping of our breaths, the hammering of my heart. A stifled moan escaped my lips. He gave a long sigh and broke away.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Yangsze Choo" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/yangsze-choo/er-lang-examined-his-shoes-in-dismay-you-should-have-told-me-there/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ed6/yangsze-choo-40938_death-wish_er-lang-examined-his-shoes-in-dismay-you_188288.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ed6/yangsze-choo-40938_death-wish_er-lang-examined-his-shoes-in-dismay-you_188288.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ed6/yangsze-choo-40938_death-wish_er-lang-examined-his-shoes-in-dismay-you_188288.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Er Lang examined his shoes in dismay. “You should have told me there was mud down here.” “Is that all you…” — Yangsze Choo", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/gasping/yangsze-choo/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/gasping/yangsze-choo/", "name": "Gasping Quotes by Yangsze Choo", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/gasping/yangsze-choo/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ed6/yangsze-choo-40938_death-wish_er-lang-examined-his-shoes-in-dismay-you_188288.jpg" }, "description": "1 Gasping quotes by Yangsze Choo.
