I move my hand against her shoulder in a circling motion to calm her down, "Don't worry. You looked so sexy in only my underwear."
As Jen looks up, her eyes shine with the loveliest shade of sea green, and her face is flushed. I can't help leaning down to her complete lips. Sucking in the bottom lip, I bite her, making her gasp, "Ryan..."
Taking the chance, I'm about to kiss her deeply when Cale wakes up, "What are you guys doing?"
Usually, I would have continued without a doubt, but Jen almost pushed me off the bed, "Nothing, sweetie. We weren't doing anything."
I roll my eyes as the kid looks at me with eyes filled with doubt, "Really?"
And Jen replies, "Of course."
I love the kid, but I hate him right now.
Chapter Fifteen - Jenna
Ithasbeenweekssince the case with News Daily broke out. Most of the high society is involved. But even the big and powerful can't escape the lawsuit now. At first, I just realized their side wasn't the only one with high connections.
Ryan has connections that go deep into the roots of this country. After all, Ryan is a hidden heir to the Arnoult Empire. Almost everyone wants to please, approach, and be connected to him.
Every local news station is going wild. Cases filed cold in the black depths of the Chicago police department are now reopened. Families of people who have been wronged are numbered in millions. They protest against the police departments for not being able to uphold justice. A list of corrupt officers and officers involved with News Daily has also been rooted out.
It is total chaos in Chicago right about now.
We were stationed at Ryan's mansion, but I wanted to go back to my place and stay at the house for a while. But I should have known Ryan to be so hard-headed like his sister. As the protests are getting increasingly dangerous, and reporters are swarming in from all sides, he moves us to his place.
I can't say that I mind. Every day is enjoyable, with Cale and Ryan playing in the pool constantly, watching a movie, and playing video games. But at night, when Cale is asleep, Ryan and I have some sessions that tend to get too hot and heavy. Although we have crossed off everything on the naughty list, he has yet to take me completely.
As I recline on the lounge chair, I observe Cale as he goes swimming. Cale has had to undergo psychotherapy sessions to get over what happened. He is getting better, but facing such an incident at a young age would traumatize anyone. It worries me deeply.
Ryan is grilling meat at the side. And he looks hot in his shorts. His muscles flex every time he moves. When he flashes a smile at me, I can't help but think he's doing this to get my attention. So what if he can flex his muscles, he likes my legs and ass, so I prop a leg up on the other and flash as much skin as I can to tease him in the black bikini he recently bought for me. His dark eyes turn sharper as he breathes deeply to calm himself down.
I almost laugh out loud.
Having to leave my job at News Daily, I start looking for a job at other corporations, but it is challenging. But to think Ryan so pompously said, 'Just come work for my company as my assistant.' Gwen swatted his head and suggested I apply for a job at her guardian's company, Arnoult Baldwin's wife, Stella Baldwin. Once I applied for a position, the interview and hiring process were so smooth I couldn't believe it. Someone had put in a good word for me.
I'm reading a particular article on my laptop when Ryan comes over, bowing down to present a plate of steak, "My lady, for you."
I can't help rolling my eyes as I take the plate, "Thank you, Ryan."
I know he's still standing and watching. His gaze feels hot on my skin, reminding me of how he touched me the other night. I can't help swallowing and feeling turned on again. Ryan leans down to my ears and whispers, "I will lick you again tonight."
I want to kiss him so badly but hold myself back. I don't know how Cale will take that.
As Ryan steps back, Cale returns from the pool and attaches himself to Ryan, "I am so hungry. Is it ready?"
The way they act together makes me smile so fondly that I can't help but think if someone else were looking in on this scene, they would think we were a family with a mother, child, and husband.
I have finally found peace with my ex-husband's death. Ryan showed me the email Charles had last sent, and I didn't know that what I thought was a tragedy was a pre-planned shoot-and-kill. My ex-husband was unaware that he had become a witness to a crime. The culprits were young, rich, and scared that they would be reported, so they had their parents take care of it.
That family also had intense action taken against it.
As night approaches, I have Cale go to sleep while I turn on his room monitor so that if he wakes up from a bad dream or nightmare, I can immediately tend to him.
Kissing his forehead, "Goodnight, sweetie. I hope you have wonderful dreams."
As I leave Cale's bedroom, gently closing the door behind me, I feel a solid, familiar arm wrap around my abdomen. His hot breath brushes my sensitive ears, "I've been waiting so long for you, babe."
I feel Ryan's lips instantly leave hot patches of kisses along my neck, "Ryan, not here. I just got Cale to go to sleep."
