Bathing in the wild

Just when Jessica was trying to soothe her mouth's taste, suddenly her stomach grumbled loudly, which surprised everyone, including herself, because it was also the first time she heard this sound. So she was about to laugh out, but Ell hurriedly got up while saying, "I'm so sorry, I forgot to cook for you. Please just wait for a little while," and rushed out of the room. When Jessica saw him discerning the situation instantly and doing everything hurriedly alone in the hall, she got up and went to him intending to help, but Ell didn't even let her touch a single thing under the pretext of resting. Instead, he made her sit on the stone bench and gave her fruits to eat. 

Jessica sat down, but she kept on noticing Ell. She tried many times to help him, but every time her help was denied, so she finally gave up. She got up from the bench and stretched out her arms and body when she suddenly noticed some pink petals sticking to her inner thighs. She looked around and saw that Levi and Blaze were discussing something very serious inside the room, so she suddenly said in a loud voice, "Guys, I am going to take a bath in the river," and went toward the cave's entrance while holding a big black fur shawl with which Ell had wrapped her earlier. 

As soon as she ended her statement and took a single step forward, suddenly all three of them came in front of her at a lightning speed. Blaze said, "Why are you going alone? I'll accompany you".

When Ell interrupted, "What do you mean? You took her with you in the morning, so it's my turn to go with her," he said, looking at Blaze. 

" Weren't you cooking food for Jessica? I'll take her with me, after all, she is the safest by my side," Levi suddenly said while trying to sound reasonably cool, but his sneak peeks at Jessica sold him off because Jessica caught him looking at her and, from his actions, she knew what he was trying to do. 

Jessica sighed and said with a cold face, "None of you are going with me. I'm not going to hang around here and there, which will require company, instead I have to take a bath as soon as possible. So get out of my way," but they didn't move an inch, causing Jessica to squint in annoyance; instead of bursting into rage, she simply changed her path by overtaking them.

Suddenly Blaze grabbed her hand, which made Jessica look at him inquiringly. He said, "But we just wanted to ensure your safety, so please just take any of us with you" while making an innocent face. 

Jessica gave a deep sigh and glared at him in annoyance, which in turn made Blaze scared, so he let go of her hand with fear on his face. When Jessica saw his reaction, she couldn't help herself but to explain the situation, saying that she had to wash herself so as to get rid of every kind of stuff that she might have gotten on herself from the amorous flower field because it could trigger another allergic reaction. 

Her words made all three of them realise the gravity of the situation, but they were still hesitant to leave her alone outside, not because of wild animals, but because her heat bleeding had stopped and she was now emitting the intoxicating mate-attracting scent, which can definitely attract other males.

Usually, females roam after the end of their bleeding to attract a potential suitor; otherwise, they usually avoid going outside. After all, this kind of situation is just like an open invitation for mating, especially when they are in the dark forest instead of a tribe.

They didn't intend to let her go alone, not because of the safety alone, but because they couldn't let anyone else other than themselves inhale that heavenly scent, and this was the reason why they wanted to go together with her so that they could get rid of the bugs that might mistakenly come in contact with her or even get a look at her.

Jessica turned around after explaining the situation when Blaze suddenly said "Alright, but take a pair of clothes to change before you go" and rushed toward the second room in the hall. Jessica was standing with a surprised look on her face because she literally forgot about clothes. All she was thinking about was the way to the river since she was going alone and getting lost in a jungle was something that could happen to anyone. 

Blaze came out of the room just within two minutes. He was holding folded animal fur, specifically white tiger fur, just like what he was himself wearing. 

He approached her with a big smile on his face, standing in front of her and handing her the folded fur one by one, telling her it was a pair of top and skirt.

The clothes were definitely a surprise for Jessica, which unconsciously brought a smile to her face. Because of her curiosity, she instantly unfolded the clothes to find that one of them was definitely a skirt, but the other one was a long rectangular fur with straps attached to its ends, which was the top according to him, so she asked Blaze about it. 

Blaze, who was waiting to get praised by her, reacted instantly. From her words, it was clear that she didn't know how to wear it, so instead of verbally explaining, he demonstrated how to wear it. He took Jessica as the model and wrapped the long fur from behind, crossed it in front of her chest, then took the straps behind her neck and tied them. Surprisingly, it was a perfect fit on her, which made her wonder how he got the size right, but her curiosity was satisfied when Blaze whispered in her ear, "I knew it, that this would fit, after all, I measured you myself by hugging," which caused Jessica's face to heat up as she blushed.

She untied the top herself instantly without looking at him, and after folding it again, she rushed out of the cave while saying, "Thank you for the clothes. I'll come back soon," and ran toward the forest. 

Ell was cooking lunch for her after hearing Levi's words, because if he wanted to follow her, he needed to finish his task first. Levi was standing near Jessica in the beginning, but when he saw the fur that Blaze was holding, he recalled something important, and just when Blaze was whispering in Jessica's ears, he cautiously slipped out of the cave. 

Ell rushed toward Blaze when he heard her words, looking at the departing image of Jessica alongside him, when Blaze asked, "Are you done?" Ell nodded his head after looking at the pot he took off the stone stove.

"Then what are you waiting for, we should get going too," Blaze replied, which literally surprised Ell; he clearly remembered 'Jessica having asked them not to follow them, and Blaze agreed....Wait a minute....Blaze never said he would not follow; instead, he just said that she could go alone'. Ell looked toward him for confirmation only to see him grinning with a playful look, which surprised him. Ell really wanted to follow her, but his earlier mistaken plan was stopping him from giving his opinion, and that's why he kept on being silent, but surprisingly, Blaze was also having the same thoughts. Ell was feeling lighthearted because this time the plan wasn't his, so he can shrug off the responsibility if Jessica ever finds it. He smirked and ran his hand through his hair as they both set off for the river.

Jessica was walking across the forest very carefully according to what she planned; she kept on breaking some shrubs as markers so as not to get lost, and thankfully, her memory helped her to reach the destination. When she reached the river, she started to find a suitable spot for taking a bath. After walking a little toward the flow of the river, she found a suitable place. 

There was a small area surrounded by large bushes with a big rock boulder working as a cover from one side, and because of the widening of the river, the flow was suitable to get into the river easily, so she decided to stop at that place. After placing the fur and clothes on the ground, she started to undress. Just as she was unbuttoning her shirt, she halted because of the strange feeling of being stared at, so she instantly turned around to find nothing but silence. She walked up to the bushes to look here and there but saw nothing, so she went back to her original position and started to undress. She was a very observant person, but today she forgot to look up because it never occurred to her that someone could be watching her every move from the top of the tree. She didn't look upside because the trees were nearly a hundred metres tall and that too with an enormous girth without any other extension up to twenty-five meters, making it nearly impossible for any human to climb them; but that was her mistake; after all, she was in the Beast World and climbing these trees was a piece of cake, especially for Blaze and Ell who were sitting side by side on the nearest tree while observing her every action with a grin.

She removed her shirt and pants, which became her shorts, and now was standing in her black lacy bra paired with black panty underwear. She was about to undo her bra when she suddenly turned around and looked at the point where Blaze and Ell were sitting to find no one there, she did that completely on her hunch because she could still feel that gaze, which was bothering her. For some time she kept looking at the trees, but all she saw were some wild monkeys jumping from one tree to another, which made her realise that maybe it was them who made her feel all alarmed, so she turned around with a relieving breath, but she didn't know that her sudden turning made Blaze and Ell jump instantly, and currently they were both standing behind the tree right in front of her in a very weird pose to hide themselves while closing each other's mouths so as not to make any sound.
