Chapter 28: Mint Lollipop
Tyrone composed himself as he quickly dragged his eyes in a different direction. His face reddened, but he didn’t utter a single word. He would not deny that Raine’s presence strongly affected him, but that didn’t mean he would entertain or do anything about it.
Raine chuckled as she put her coffee mug down on the table. She never prepared coffee for anyone except Tyrone so far since she liked him too much. She couldn’t help but loosen herself whenever she was with him.
She got up from her seat and walked in Tyrone’s direction. She stood in front of him and bent down. She rested her hands on the headrest of the couch with her arms blocking Tyrone’s sides. She then slowly leaned her face closer to his. She stared directly into his eyes, Tyrone not batting an eye in meeting her intense stare.
Her scent... was so intoxicating... And her eyes... Tyrone would just love to dwell within those beautiful eyes and see his reflection like that more often. But he knew he must not, for his own good and hers.
"What are you doing..." Tyrone murmured in his husky voice as Raine suddenly sat on his lap. It was tediously familiar. Like that one night at the strip club where she also sat on his lap. The only difference here was that she was not straddling him too much this time.
"So, darling. Tell me..." Raine whispered in his ear. "How come you don’t look surprised upon knowing that the Bloody-Eyed Hunter and Raine Yue, the only heiress of Yue Group, are one and the same person in the flesh?" She would like to play more; lick and nibble his earlobe. However, it was too early to be way too aggressive. She should lay low for a while.
Meanwhile, the same feeling surged over Tyrone. The desire for her was consuming him in that very instant. Her hot breath on his ear was making him so freaking delirious!
The next thing Tyrone felt was Raine’s hand tightening on his neck.
"Tell me..." she whispered once more. "Why should I spare your life knowing this important secret about me, huh?"
