Before getting inside Ping Ping, Varrick had thought getting inside Ping Ping would be the hardest part. Then he thought it would be keeping silent. Then walking around. But in the end, he realized that the hardest part of being inside a platypus bear was to share it with Zhu Li. Not so much that she bothered him, not at all. Well, she did forget the honey in his tea, but really, anyone made mistakes. No, the problem was the lack of space. Specifically, the fact that Zhu Li was right against him, their bodies as close to one another as could be. It was warm, it was comfortable, and it was far too arousing for anyone's own good.
It had all begun when he had asked Zhu Li to slip inside Ping Ping with him. She had looked at him with those narrowed eyes she did so well, the ones she gave him when she wanted to tell him he was completely crazy and she would never do such a thing if she had any choice, but did it because he asked it of her. Zhu Li getting in was filled with countless "Excuse me", "Sorry", "You're hurting me, Sir" and "It won't fit". In the end, they had managed to find a position that was not too painful for either of them, that allowed Zhu Li to breathe and that was actually rather comfortable.
Too comfortable. When they had started walking around, he had quickly noticed that with each step, their bodies rubbed against one another, which in their position meant that her backside was rubbing against his crotch and it was making him crazy. At first, he had suspected that it might be on purpose, but he knew Zhu Li would never do that. His assistant was the most professional person he knew. No, this situation was all due to his own dirty mind, his wanton reactions to innocent physical contact. He was hard, had been hard for a long time, possibly hours, and could do absolutely nothing about it.
He had never thought Zhu Li would make him have dirty thoughts, of all people. But as time passed, he was beginning to lose control over his mind. His inner Varrick was elaborating scenarios of all sorts of physical contact he might have with his assistant, crazy situations they might find themselves in. Somehow all of them ended with her completely naked, with her hair dishevelled and an expression of pure desire on her face. How different it would be from her impassible self. Stop this, he told himself. Zhu Li has done absolutely nothing of the sort. Was she embarrassed or afraid right now? As much as he tried to keep his erection from touching her, the lack of space did not allow it, lest he would not even need to hide it in the first place. You've gone rabid, my poor old Varrick. As spurred as a green boy before his first time at every touch. The quicker we're out of this platypus bear, the better.
When finally they dragged themselves out of the animal, it was with great difficulty and with a lot of touching bodies. Fortunately, he was wearing his baggy light blue trousers and could hide his shame. He wasn't one to be easily ashamed of his body and reactions, but that did not mean that he wanted the Avatar and her friends to see him all worked up with his assistant. All he could pray for was that Zhu Li either hadn't noticed, though after hours in the same suit, he had little hope of that, or that she would never mention it. He certainly wouldn't. What happened in the platypus bear would stay in the platypus bear.
