That night, Raine had a hard time finding her sleep. She got up from bed and prepared some tea to drink on her balcony. It was already cold outside, and she hated the cold. And yet she had the urge to feel the cold of the night for some reason.
"So Nathaniel might spare me, but not my father," she whispered while staring at the cup in her hand.
"Are you going to just stare at your tea? It’ll get cold," Tyrone breathed. And as usual, he brought a blanket with him and wrapped it around Raine.
"Why do you like going out on your balcony in thin clothes when it’s so cold outside," he scolded as he sat on the chair beside Raine.
"Maybe because I know you will pop out like that and bring a blanket with you? Why are you also outside?" Raine asked. She had let Tyrone use the room next to her with a shared balcony.
"I’m still working on something. By the way, a man named Gavin Wu called me. He wanted an exclusive interview from the Yue Group. He’s a reporter, also the main news anchor at country D. He’s connected to the Field Marshal’s daughter. He probably got my calling card during the Yang Global’s event for the reopening of their hospital."
Tyrone had intentionally left his card to some reporters during the event by Raine’s instruction. Raine wanted to expose the Yue Clan to Xander’s group.
"Gavin Wu is very brave. None dared to ask for an exclusive interview with the Yue Group since they were all aware that it was a perilous group to offend. He’s the first so far... Ah, I guess he’s chosen for a reason."
"Chosen?" Tyrone asked with a creased forehead, but Raine had no plans to disclose trivial matters about the Mirage’s confidential details with Tyrone.
"You don’t need to worry about him. Lyne will handle that matter pertaining to the Yue Group," Raine answered.
"What’s your plan with Boris?" Tyrone asked. Raine didn’t tell them yet about her plans for Boris.
"You’re so impatient," she sighed. "But since you asked, I plan to torture that werewolf till I can squeeze out all the details I need from him," Raine replied with a smirk. "Why? Do you have your objections again with my ways, darling?"
Raine drank her tea as casually as she could. Tyrone didn’t react, so she added, "Even if you object, it’s not like you can do a thing about it. What you need to do is to focus while we stay here in the mansion to convince my uncle with our acting. I plan to bully him and make his world a living hell while I stay here, so just move along with whatever I do. But of course, you can occasionally scold me like an obedient spy for him."
Raine finished her tea and put the cup on the table. She was about to stand up when she suddenly cringed.
"What’s wrong?" Tyrone worriedly asked.
"It’s nothing, just some cramps," Raine mumbled. She hated the cold weather because she tended to have leg cramps and spasms.
Tyrone shook his head and, without saying a word, suddenly carried Raine into his arms.
Raine didn’t say a word, electing to simply wrap her arms around his neck.
"So tell me, do you prefer Mara’s aura to mine? We have the same face, but anyone could still see the difference..." Raine asked while Tyrone gently put her on the bed.
"Does my opinion about that even matter?" Tyrone asked.
Raine had a pout as she replied, "Well, I’m curious so just answer it, will you?"
"I prefer you," Tyrone boldly answered. "You should know that by now..."
Raine thought he would leave already, and she was surprised to see him sitting on the other side of her bed.
"Right or left?" Tyrone asked.
"Huh?"
"The cramps..."
"Oh, the right one," Raine answered.
Tyrone started massaging her right leg. Raine bit her inner cheek. She wore a nightgown above her knee, and he was massaging her bare legs. A devious smile carved itself into her beautiful lips as a naughty thought suddenly surged inside her head.
"Higher... there’s also hip spasms," Raine murmured, curious about what Tyrone would do.
Delighted, she watched Tyrone’s hands crawl inside her nightgown up to her hip. She suddenly regretted what she did when his warm palms massaged her hip. They were sending something electrifying all over her body. All the hairs on her body went up, and she wondered if Tyrone could feel it.
"Do you want me to go further up?" Tyrone asked in his hoarse voice.
"Huh?" Raine was feeling too aroused already that her mind was practically floating. Tyrone took her silence as a yes, Raine feeling his warm hands going further up.
’This isn’t good,’ Raine mused as she snapped herself back to reality. She might do something stupid again if she couldn’t stop Tyrone at this point. She was already suppressing soft moans from coming out of her mouth. She didn’t want him to stop at all. In fact, he wanted him to do more.
She gathered herself together and, with a firm voice, said, "That’s enough. I’m okay already. Go back to your room. I want to sleep now..."
Tyrone stopped his hand movements, but his hands still held her hips firmly. Raine looked at him and she saw how dim his face was.
"Tyrone," Raine called. That was when Tyrone finally released her hip.
"Alright. I hope you have a good night’s sleep then," he murmured as he got up and quickly turned around to leave her alone. Raine let out a sigh of relief as soon as Tyrone was gone from her room.
She annoyingly clicked her tongue and murmured, "Ah, why do I always ask for trouble..."
She hated that she had to remind herself to distance herself from Tyrone even though her body wanted nothing but to get closer to him.
"Maybe I should just kick him out already," she muttered before grabbing a pillow and hugging it.
"Ah, I also miss my human pillow!" she complained before closing her eyes as she tried her best to fall asleep.
