She felt thirsty and hot, yet her heart was soft and tender.
The look in Jeremy’s eyes darkened. He sighed sadly. “Your waist can’t take the thrusts. Even if I wanted to, I would hold it in and wait until after you get better.”
In the bathroom, Alyssa sat in the warm white mist, her fair and silky body exposed before Jeremy. Jeremy held a damp cloth. On one hand, he helped her to wipe her body. On the other hand, he traced along her neck with kisses.
He could contain his desire but not his tempestuous love for her. Even though there wasn’t sex, they were entangled in a passionate kiss.
“You always speak so eloquently during meetings at the Walsh Group. Have you lost all your words after speaking to Winston?”
Alyssa covered herself with a bathrobe. Her soft and delicate body relaxed in his embrace as she drew circles on his Adam’s apple with the tip of her finger. “Can’t you tell that Jameson stole your thunder?
“You were the one who found the killer and set everything up. What right did he have to be there? He is so shameless!”
Jeremy was afraid she would fall and quickly held her. He swallowed hard and couldn’t help but peck her delicate lips. “I don’t care who appears as long as it solved your problem and everything ended on a good note. Nothing is as important as making sure you are okay.”
Alyssa felt her nose prickle. Tears welled up in her eyes as she was at a loss for words.
This was why she loved him. He didn’t care about anything else but her. She even thought she would never achieve his extent of love.
“It’s a shame that I didn’t manage to make everyone happy.”
Jeremy felt absolutely helpless. He took a deep breath and patted her trembling back. “I feel like a student at the bottom of his class. No matter how hard I try now, it always seems too late.”
“I don’t think so. Jeremy, you’ve done really well. It’s already pretty great.” Alyssa choked slightly. Jeremy would always be her hero. However, she thought it best not to tell him for fear he would get cocky.
After wiping Alyssa’s body down, Jeremy was worried she would overexert herself. So, he carried her to the dining room for dinner.
His mind had been preoccupied all day long. The warmth, interwoven with his manly scent, emanated from his usually neat and clean white shirt.
Alyssa started feeling woozy. She didn’t find the smell repulsive. On the contrary, she pressed her nose against his chest and sniffed it like an unsatisfied kitten.
“What’s the matter? Do you want to eat me up?” Jeremy lowered his gaze and smiled as his thin lips grazed her forehead.
“Even if I wanted to, you should take a shower. What a smelly man you are.”
Alyssa was so embarrassed that she turned her face away. “You always keep yourself pretty clean Why hadn’t you showered this time?”
“I didn’t manage to. I will shower after eating with you.”
Alyssa pursed her thin lips. Her heart felt fuzzy.
The table was filled with a plethora of exquisite delicacies. Rosie had prepared some of the food beforehand. The food only required heating up, so the food preparation didn’t take long.
“Whoa … You’re amazing, Mrs. Rosie!” Alyssa sat at the dining table, clapping her hands like a happy school kid.
“Please, Madam Alyssa. Your cooking is way better than mine! Have you forgotten that you taught me some of Mr. Jeremy’s favorites here?”
“Did 1? I’ve completely forgotten.” Alyssa felt embarrassed and buried her head in her food.
She knew Rosie was complimenting her, but this conversation reminded her of some unhappy memories between them.
Jeremy knew all too well the struggles she had faced before. His eyes filled with tears as he delicately used a napkin to wipe her lips.
He wanted to say something, but Alyssa quickly shoved a prawn into his mouth. “Don’t apologize. Didn’t we say that we won’t talk about the past anymore?”
Jeremy was stunned. Then, a wry smile crept across his face as he attempted to chew the prawn. He thought Alyssa’s cooking was better.
Suddenly, the entrance echoed with the creaking of a door. Three men walked in, making a dramatic entrance. The entire villa instantly transformed into a lively scene reminiscent of a New Year’s party. “Wow! You’re so selfish, Lyse, having this enormous table of food all to yourself. Don’t you think you’ve taken it too far?”
Silas hadn’t eaten the whole day as he was busy reading case files. He was famished. He stepped forward, seized a chicken wing, and promptly stuffed it into his mouth.
Cyrus followed suit, tearing into a whole duck leg with gusto, as if he had recently battled a tiger. “My mouth is dry from a day of interrogations. I’ll eat this meat to hydrate myself.”
The esteemed Taylor brothers devoured the food like a pack of hungry wolves, leaving Jeremy and Xavier in shock
“Look at them, devouring everything like a pack of wild beasts.”
Alyssa, feeling helpless, rested her chin on her palm. “If Dad and Mandy saw this, they would probably strangle and disown them.”
Rosie was delighted to see how the guys enjoyed their food. She quickly asked them to sit. “Come! There is enough for everyone! I made some pasta too. Mr. Jeremy doesn’t fancy pasta very much so I didn’t bring it out. Would both of you like some pasta?”
Silas and Cyrus nodded eagerly, like bobbleheads. “Yes, please! Can we have some minced beef with it too?”
Alyssa sighed and buried her face in her hand. “You should be grateful that you get to eat any of this. I can’t believe you have personal requests too.”
Xavier couldn’t bear to watch anymore. He cleared his throat and reminded them, “Please don’t be distracted by the food. Madam Alyssa felt from her horse. Shouldn’t both of you, as her brothers, ask how she’s doing?”
Silas and Cyrus looked at each other, one with a chicken wing in his mouth and the other chewing duck leg meat. They said at the same time, “Don’t you see her eating now? You don’t need to panic for no reason.”
Xavier was stunned. He wondered if he was creating unnecessary panic or if they lacked the heart to care.
Alyssa was in Jeremy’s arms, laughing hard.
Jeremy gently caressed Alyssa’s waist with his strong arm, smiling at her tenderly.
Silas and Cyrus were both busy men, rarely appearing at the same time. The fact that they were together now hinted at something unusual.
Cyrus burped before putting on a serious expression. “Sophia’s urine test this afternoon confirmed drug use. It’s important to note that drug use and drug abuse are two different things.
“However, she denied it and claimed she thought her jabs were for cosmetic purposes. Tristan McAlister, her cosmetic doctor, prescribed them to her. She insists she had no clue and is being framed.”
Alyssa was stunned
Tristan was the one who prescribed the medication to Sophia. He was well-versed in pharmacology, so she had never asked him about it and let him handle it.
Alyssa never fathomed he would supply Sophia with illegal drugs in such large doses. He was practically aiming to take her life away.
“Cyrus, this has nothing to do with Tristan. Sophia must be panicking and trying to shift blame onto him as her scapegoat.” Alyssa ardently defended Tristan.
“Lyse, I know Tristan. Dad sponsored him before, and he has a good relationship with you.”
Cyrus, deep in thought, observed the absence of the usual sibling banter in Alyssa’s eyes. “But I’m a cop. I have to follow the procedures fairly. I can’t abuse my power for personal gain.
“Sophia insisted Tristan framed her. Even if she was lying, we have to adhere to the procedures and bring Tristan in for questioning.”
Alyssa lowered her gaze, her silence speaking of her sadness.
Jeremy lifted his gaze. He didn’t want to see the siblings fight. He gently caressed Alyssa’s hand to comfort her as he spoke, “This is standard procedure. We understand, Chief Cyrus. You do what you need to do.”
Cyrus was flattered at being addressed as “Chief Cyrus”.
However, Alyssa couldn’t shake off the discomfort. Although she knew Cyrus was right, guilt weighed heavily on her regarding Tristan. She didn’t want anyone around her to suffer because of her actions.
The atmosphere was rarely this tense when the siblings gathered.
Cyrus’ heart tightened. He didn’t want to bother his sister any longer by overstaying his welcome. So, he said, “I have some things to handle at the station. I will take my leave. Silas, you keep Alyssa company. You are hardly here.”
As he turned to leave, Alyssa suddenly rushed forward, gripping his waist forcefully. “Don’t go, Cyrus. I didn’t say you had to go.”
Cyrus quickly extended his arms to return her hug. His eyes were moist.
As her half-brother sharing the same father, Alyssa treated him well, though not as intimately as she treated Jonah and Silas. Hugging Alyssa was a rare opportunity for him as he was often too shy to make the first move.
“I thought you were angry,” Cyrus said, lowering his gaze. His voice softened as he caressed the top of her head.
Alyssa raised her head to gaze at him and shook it vehemently. “Why would I be angry at you, Cyrus? I know it hasn’t been easy getting into the police academy, becoming a detective, and now leading your team.
“I shouldn’t have been so stubborn and biased. You do what you need to do. Whatever happens, I will support your decision.”
Xavier observed the intimate interaction between Alyssa and Cyrus, stealing a glance at Jeremy’s face. Not surprisingly, Jeremy’s expression was as dark as a black hole.
Jeremy took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, but jealousy overcame him. His eyes reddened. “Haha, you’re jealous,” Silas remarked as he pulled a chair and sat beside Jeremy.
Taking a bite of dessert, he continued, “You can’t even handle something this small. I think you’ve become a crybaby after getting together with Lyse.”
Sllas added, “By then, you will no longer be a heartless bastard but a crying bastard.”
