Chapter 200 An Underground Lab
Renee leaped into the two–meter–deep hole effortlessly and then gazed up
at William with a playful grin. “Come on down. Don’t be scared; I’ve got you.”
William was speechless.
Since she insisted…
He got ready and jumped straight into her waiting arms.
She staggered back a couple of steps due to the impact, and he swiftly drew her close into a firm hug.
Now, it was Renee who found herself at a loss for words.
Was this intentional?
She was sure it was.
He flashed a cheeky smile. “Didn’t you promise to catch me?”
Then, he saw her pout, which he thought was incredibly adorable. Overcome with affection, he tenderly kissed her captivating lips.
What started as a quick kiss became more intense as he found himself unable to pull away. His resolve wavered.
He deepened the kiss, their tongues entwining, exchanging warmth.
Their bodies drew even closer, and he shifted his kisses from her lips down to her chin, and then to her earlobe. He teased it with gentle nibbles and licks, and his warm breath sent shivers down her spine.
“We’re completely alone here…” he murmured softly into her ear.
His voice, deep and rich, now carried an undertone of desire that made him irresistibly enticing.
Feeling her self–control slipping, Renee, with a fragment of her remaining reason, pushed him away and turned her face to escape his warm, tempting lips.
“Stop it. We need to concentrate on our task before someone comes looking for us.”
He responded with a low, teasing laugh, “Right now, you are my only task.”
Renee was speechless again. She averted her face, overwhelmed by this side of William.
But as she turned away, her eyes caught sight of a door at the bottom of the pit leading into a long tunnel. It appeared to have been newly dug, judging by the freshness of the walls.
She frowned and gave him a nudge, gesturing urgently towards the tunnel.
His playful expression faded as he followed her gaze. His brow creased as well.
It was clear that no one would come to such a remote, seemingly deserted island to dig an underground passage without a compelling reason…
There must be a huge secret hidden here.
“Let’s go check it out.” William proposed.
That was exactly what she had in mind.
They stopped at the tunnel’s entrance and as they rounded a corner, the rough–hewn walls transitioned into smoothly crafted stone. It was aesthetically pleasing with electric lights lining both sides.
With the realization that they might not be alone, their steps became more measured and careful.
The construction of the place was evidently the result of extensive, careful labor.
They pressed on.
Deeper into the tunnel, the walls expanded and took on a luxurious, modern look, like a sleek, futuristic corridor.
Their tension mounted with every step.
“Wait…” Renee suddenly tugged on William’s arm.
Just ahead, it appeared there was a way out.
They moved quietly forward, and indeed, they emerged into an opening. But it wasn’t an exit; their surroundings opened up to a series of glass.
rooms.
“Is this… an underground lab?” Renee gasped, her eyes wide with astonishment.
“It seems so,” William answered, looking around. “And it looks like it was abandoned not too long ago.”
Everything appeared new, without a speck of dust.
With heightened caution, they moved forward, each step fraught with uncertainty and the potential of danger, mindful that they might not be
alone.
Clearly, setting up a laboratory hidden away on a remote island and buried underground, indicated that whatever experiment was going on here was meant to remain out of sight and undisclosed.
