Unstoppable Unforgiven (Shermaine and Joshua) novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152

Shermaine had planned to teach Joshua a lesson, so she didn’t continue to indulge him. She curled her lips into a smile. “I have a great idea. Let me go first.”

Joshua’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he reluctantly let go. Then, Shermaine tied his wrists together with a rope and held the other end. “Now you can feel safe,” she said.

Joshua was taken aback for a moment, then he chuckled, “Yeah, Sheary, whatever makes you happy,” he said.

‘It seems that morning kiss really got to Shermaine, he thought to himself.

They continued to walk downward until finally, the slope ended. When they stood on level ground, they had truly entered the ancient tomb of the Cursed Queen.

Next was a very ordinary stone door. There was a mechanism beside the door. They simply pressed it down and entered the tomb. During this time, there were no ambushes or strange occurrences.

However, for James, the more peaceful things seemed, the more dangerous they were bound to be. They couldn’t afford to let their guard down.

In front of the third stone door was a cold pool. The pool was very deep, and to go further inside, they had to cross it.

There was a wooden bridge that could be used, but the bridge was very old. If it exceeded its weight limit, it would surely collapse.

Moreover, there were many stone statues around that could be used for cover and ambushes.

At that moment, behind one of the stone statues, Kingston was holding a small bottle. He put the bottle to his ear and could hear the worm inside gnawing away.

Before coming here, he had tested the worm on a Mysonnian. As Bianca had said, after being bitten, the man indeed began to succumb to overwhelming arousal.

The longer he resisted, the more restless and feverish he became. No matter how strong one’s willpower was, under the torment of time, they would eventually lose their sanity and become obsessed.

“What kind of expression would this cold man show if he were bitten by this worm?‘ Kingston wondered.

Kingston admitted that he liked Joshua. He had liked men since he was a child..

But throughout his life, he had stumbled more than once with Joshua, leading to a mix of love and hate.

Kingston didn’t expect Joshua to belong to him, but he couldn’t stand the thought of Joshua being with other women.

Although Kingston really wanted to use this on Joshua, he restrained himself. It would be such a waste not to use something so good on Shermaine.

Moreover, Kingston had even prepared a man for her.

Suddenly, faintly, the second stone door opened, and footsteps could be heard approaching.

A man whispered, “Mr. Wright, there’s movement. Someone’s coming.”

Kingston put the bottle back into his bag. “Everyone, get into position. Make sure to use tranquilizer darts and take them down one by one.”

At the same time, the calm surface of the cold pool suddenly rippled. Something seemed to be lurking beneath the water. Through the clear surface, a pair of bright green eyes appeared.

It was indeed Shermaine and Joshua who were approaching. She was holding the rope, but she didn’t notice that she had stepped on something slippery and almost fallen.

Joshua was quick to react. He tugged on the rope, and in an instant, he had her in his arms. He now enjoyed holding Shermaine more than just holding hands. She was soft and fragrant, and it felt very comfortable to hold her.

Shermaine’s expression was blank. Despite being a big shot, even she was bound to make mistakes sometimes, especially in this dark and poorly lit place, relying only on a single flashlight for illumination. “Thanks,” she said.

Joshua’s eyes were filled with affection. “You’re welcome, Sheary. Just give me a kiss,” he said.

Shermaine naturally wasn’t going to kiss him. She pushed him away and shone the flashlight on the ground to see what had made her slip.
