Without another word, he eagerly merged his body with hers, bucking wildly and without restraint.
Alyssa’s eyes were teary as her arms hooked around his neck. Her body convulsed again and again.
The cold night breeze skimmed across her exposed back, starkly contrasting the fiery heat of their lovemaking. It was exhilarating and torturing at the same time.
“Jas. Jeremy. I’m cold.”
Alyssa’s body was damp with sweat, but her lips were quivering. She looked into his unbridled gaze with pleading eyes. “Let’s go to the bed. To the bed, alright?”
“Are you still thinking about him? Are you going to think more about him? Hmm?” Jeremy’s eyes glowered at her, not even answering her.
He felt like he was going mad.
It was a difficult night for Jeremy, whose soul was tormented the moment he saw Alyssa with Justin. When he was chatting with Justin, he forced a smile and made remarks that went against his true feelings.
Only God knew how much he wanted to snatch Alyssa and hide her far away from Justin. He didn’t want Justin to take another look at the woman who belonged to him and only to him.
“Stop it… Stop thinking about it…” Alyssa sounded tearful as she managed to let out fragments of words. After years of dating, this was the first time he had forced himself on her in such a ruthless manner that drove her to tears.
“Lyse, you’re mine. Never look at him again. You shall only have eyes for me!” he growled as they inched toward climax.
After that, he carried the limp Alyssa to the bedroom. He placed her in the bed and attempted to make love to her again, but she wept and gently slapped him on the cheek. “I hate you! That’s enough. You’re bullying me. You’re being super annoying tonight, you know?”
The slap did not hurt at all, but it woke him up. Snapping out of his delirium, he felt his heart racing. “I’m sorry, Lyse. It’s my fault. I swear I will not do this to you again.” He pulled her into a remorseful hug and repeatedly apologized.
“I know your worst fear.” She closed her eyes and gently scratched him on the back as if calming him. “Jeremy, don’t be afraid. I’m yours. I’ll forever be yours.”
Alyssa enjoyed a good night’s sleep, but Jeremy drifted in and out of sleep. By dawn, he did not wake Alyssa up because she was still deep in sleep. He tiptoed to the bathroom to freshen up and change his clothes in preparation for a video conference.
The three-hour-long meeting kicked off at 9:00 am. Despite Jeremy’s best efforts to focus on the discussion, his mind kept wandering.
Finally, he survived the meeting and returned to the bedroom, where Alyssa was still asleep.
Given her self-discipline, she’d always wake up early for a workout session, followed by washing up and doing her makeup, even if they made love till late at night.
Feeling puzzled, Jeremy sat by the bed and touched her shoulder, but he flinched at the hot touch and immediately withdrew his hand.
“Lyse? Lyse?” He flipped her over and saw her cheeks red from the fever. He touched her forehead again. She seemed to be running a scarily high fever.
He couldn’t believe he was oblivious to her fever throughout the night.
“Mm. It’s cold… So cold…” she moaned feebly.
Feeling nervous, he frantically grabbed a blanket and wrapped her up. Then, he pulled her into an embrace, but she wouldn’t stop complaining about feeling cold.
She must have developed a fever from their lovemaking on the balcony last night. Jeremy, saddled with guilt and regret, nearly slapped himself as a punishment for his rashness.
He decided against it, opting to be punished by Alyssa instead when she regained consciousness.
Meanwhile, Rosie was making lunch in the kitchen. She heard the doorbell and wiped her hands before answering the door.
She found herself staring at a charming and confident man clad in a black windbreaker. Stunned, she mumbled, “You are.?”
Axel placed his hand in his pockets in a callous manner. Cocking his head, he asked, “Is Lyse here?”
Rosie examined him. “Are you a friend of Madam’s?”
“No.”
A realization set in. Rosie widened her eyes and stared at him vigilantly, “You’re not an admirer, are you? Are you Mr. Walsh’s love rival?”
Rosie was acquainted with most of Alyssa’s visitors to the villa, especially men. As Axel was a stranger to her, she did not trust him at all.
“Pfft.” Smirking, he arched a brow playfully. “If I were her admirer, Jeremy wouldn’t have stood a chance! He would’ve been out of the game ages ago!”
What a wild, arrogant man!
Rosie was about to snap at Axel when she heard Jeremy’s worried tone. “Mrs. Rosie, do we have aspirin or ibuprofen at home?”
At the same time, his eyes lit up when he found Axel at the door. “Axel, my dearest brother-in-law! It’s you!”
“Oh, you sweet talker.” Grinning, Axel marched in boldly. Rosie’s jaw fell when she realized Axel was one of Alyssa’s brothers. She couldn’t help but feel sorry for Jeremy, whom she had raised with all her attention and love but was now at the lowest rung of the Taylor family hierarchy ever since dating Alyssa.
“Are you feeling sick? I’ll get you some meds.”
Jeremy looked worried. “No, not me. It’s Lyse.”
“What? She’s down with a fever?” Axel’s chest tightened. He approached Jeremy and barked, “Why did she fall sick? Where’s she now?”
Lashes fluttering, Jeremy found it difficult to tell Axel the truth behind Alyssa’s fever. He led Axel to the bedroom, where Axel removed his windbreaker and tossed it aside.
Axel sat by the bed and gently called out to Alyssa, “Lyse? Lyse, it’s Axel. How are you feeling? Lyse?”
Unattentive to her visitor, she opened her parched lips and moaned softly, “J-Jeremy…”
Heartbroken, Axel glowered at the helpless Axel. He growled, “Lyse is calling for you! Come tend to her now!”
Jeremy hurried over and went down on one knee by the bed. He worriedly caressed her feverish forehead and assured her, “Lyse, I’m here. Mrs. Rosie is looking for meds. Please hang in for a bit more. Do you want some water? Does it hurt anywhere? Let’s go to the hospital.”
“Mm…” She flared her nostrils and shook her head.
“Oh, quit that nonsense. She’s delirious, can’t you tell?” Feeling sorry for his sister, he lost his temper with Jeremy. “Jeremy Walsh, how are you taking care of Lyse? She’s pretty tough compared to other girls because she trained with her brothers at a young age. How did you get her into this state?”
“I¡ª” Jeremy choked on guilt.
At that moment, Alyssa frowned in pain. She wiggled and turned around, revealing an area of her fair skin under the blanket.
The sight of the crazy red marks across her neck, collarbone, and shoulders shocked Axel.
His mind went blank. He finally pieced the puzzle and glowered at Jeremy while cracking his knuckles. “Fuck you, Jeremy Walsh!”
Jeremy grappled with heartache. The contrast between his tall figure and his helpless demeanor made him the more pitiful.
Axel shot up from the bed and grabbed Jeremy’s collar. Fixing a piercing gaze on Jeremy, he bellowed, “What have you done to my sister? Did you force her into BDSM?”
“No…”
“Why is she bruised all over? Fuck! You should’ve been the sub even in BDSM!” Axel’s grip inadvertently tore one of Jeremy’s buttons loose. Their faces were mere inches apart.
Axel continued, “We raised Lyse like she was our daughter. She is precious to us. Nothing good has happened to her ever since she dated you. How dare you mistreat her in such a way?
“You may appear a gentleman on the surface, but your behavior in the bedroom is nothing short of savage. You should consider her feelings in the bedroom! How could you hurt her to satisfy your needs?
“Stay there. I’m getting that housekeeper of yours to check the injuries on Lyse’s body, and I’ll double that on yours.”
Axel was visibly furious this time. His concern for Alyssa manifested in an outpouring of emotion, panic, and profanity.
“Axel.” Alyssa struggled to open her eyes.
“I’m here!” Axel shoved Jeremy aside, crouching by the bed to feel her forehead. His own brow was dotted with sweat from all the worrying.
He remarked, “Your forehead is too hot to the touch. I could fry an egg on it!”
“You’re being annoying,” she managed to say weakly, mustering the energy to flick him on the head. “I’m a patient in need of rest. Are you. deliberately trying. to disturb me?”
At that moment, Rosie jogged into the bedroom with an aspirin and a glass of water. Then, she took Alyssa’s body temperature.
She gasped when she found that Alyssa was running a high fever of over 100¡ãF. “Good heavens! You can kill cancerous cells at that temperature! How are you still breathing?”
Feeling sorry for Alyssa and resentful of Jeremy, she gave him a hard shove, causing him to stumble. “Mr. Walsh, you’re an idiot! At this temperature, we should be getting her to a hospital, not an aspirin, or her health will suffer!”
Jeremy was deeply remorseful for hurting his beloved over his ridiculous possessiveness. He and Rosie hurriedly changed her clothes while Axel turned his back to them out of respect. Axel’s shoulders trembled violently from the anger.
At that moment, Alyssa resembled a young, defenseless child. Rosie helped her put on a jacket, and Jeremy helped her put on shoes.
Right as Jeremy was about to carry her in his arms, Axel pushed him away, unwilling to allow him contact with Alyssa.
