Still trembling from the intensity of the orgasm, Rain managed a soft nod. The overwhelming heat that had earlier consumed her sanity had subsided and been replaced by a strange mix of relief and

embarrassment. She felt calmer now, but the

remnants of the drug’s effects lingered, leaving her

unsettled.

Still locked in his arms she turned her head slightly and met Alexander’s gaze, their faces so close she could feel his breath on her lips. “I… I think I am fine now,” she whispered, her voice shaky and hoarse with a hint of uncertainty in it. She was not sure about how he felt throughout and what to say or how to process everything that just happened. All she knew was that, at that moment, the unbearable pain that she felt was

gone.

Alexander gently brushed a strand of her hair away from her face and tucked it behind her ear, his eyes searching hers for any sign of discomfort. “Good,” he murmured.

For a brief moment, Rain’s eyes locked with his and

she could feel the desire in his eyes, the intensity

between them grew. Rain’s breath hitched as she saw Alexander’s gaze drop to her lips. Before she could react, he suddenly leaned in and captured her lips in a searing kiss, the hunger in it catching her by surprise. But just as quickly as it began, Alexander pulled away with a conflicted expression.

He gently moved Rain off his lap, settied her down on the bed carefully before standing up and rushing out of the bedroom. Rain watched him go, her heart pounding loudly in her chest, unsure of what had just transpired and why he suddenly seemed so gloomy.

In the hallway, Alexander cursed under his breath as he made his way to another room beside his bedroom. His body was practically burning with unspent energy and desire, something he had never expected to feel so intensely. He only knew how much he had restrained himself in order to not hurt her trust in him. He ripped off his clothes and stepped under the shower, turning on the water as cold as it would go.

As the icy water cascaded over him, Alexander closed his eyes, trying to clear his head. The kiss had been a mistake, a moment of weakness he hadn’t anticipated.

But as he stood there, letting the cold water cool his heated skin, he couldn’t shake away the connection he

felt with her, a strange feeling that had started settling deep within him.

That last kiss… served as an alibi to clear his doubts

that he harbored regarding Twilight’s identity. There was no doubt remaining now… Rain Clayton and Diana Jones were definitely the same person.

After cooling down, Alexander grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist and cursed under his breath When he realised that his clothes were in the

bedroom, where Rain was still recovering.

The thought of being close to her in her vulnerable state made him uneasy, especially knowing the effects of the drug would resurface in waves from time to time, just as Dr. Lambert had warned. She could feel the surge of that drug’s influence again any minute, maybe in thirty minutes or so.

“Fuck that Paul,” Alexander muttered through gritted teeth, anger for Paul still simmering inside. That man deserved to be behind bars. Alexander shuddered at the thought of what could have happened had he reached there even a second later to talk to Rain.

He walked back to his bedroom, finding Rain sitting on the edge of the bed wearing one of his shirts. Her delicate frame seemed even smaller in the oversized garment But he was taken aback by her charming and sexy look in that shirt which covered her hips and barely reached the middle of her thighs. His shirt had never looked so good before!!

“I’m sorry, my dress was torn and wet, so I-” she began, her voice soft and unsure.

“It’s fine,” Alexander interrupted, reaching to the cupboard and grabbed a shirt and shorts for himself. “I’ll ask Tyron to bring you a new set of clothes to change into.”

He paused, his eyes meeting hers briefly. “You can walk around and feel at home, make yourself comfortable. I’ll just get dressed, then I’ll prepare something for us to eat.” With that, he retreated to the bathroom to

quickly change.

Rain quickly slipped out of the room, her heart still racing after what she saw. Alexander in just a towel looked like a Greek God in flesh. His muscular fit and

toned body had six pack abs which were droolworthy. She could just run away from there and escape from

causing another disaster in her inebriated state.

She found her purse in the living area and fumbled for her phone. Seeing Brandon’s missed calls, she dialed him back.

“Rain, are you alright? Why were you calling from the party? Sorry, I was in a meeting, so my phone was on silent,” Brandon’s voice came through, laced with

concern.

“I’m fine, Brandon. Don’t worry about me,” she reassured him. “By the way, the Erotoxin pill you mentioned before… Do you suspect that Madame Beck is the main supplier of it in our country?”

“Yes, not just a supplier but I strongly suspect she is manufacturing the damn pill in her hideouts,” Brandon replied, his tone serious. “It’s baffling that there’s no available blueprint of the building she occupies. What’s even more suspicious is that all the workers,

engineers, and architects involved in its construction are either dead or have left the country and live in hiding. I’m certain that the cougar has a hidden \\manufacturing facility underground.”

Rain sighed, feeling the weight of the situation. “I

understand, Brandon. We’ll discuss this matter in private soon.”

“Are you really sure you’re fine? Where are you right now? Sanya called me asking about you, and she’s worried since you haven’t gone back till now. She also said you told her you’d be back early and won’t stay in the party for too long,” Brandon pressed, his concern growing.

“Don’t worry about me, Brandon. I’m fine. I’ll call her and send her a message too. See you soon.” With that, she ended the call, trying to steady her nerves.

After that she called Sanya to assure her friend that she was fine, Rain hung up and turned around, only to see Alexander cooking and was mesmerized by his handsome silhouette moving swiftly in the kitchen.

“He’s cooking for me too?” she murmured, her curiosity piqued as she walked closer for a better view. The sight of him cooking with an apron on was unexpectedly appealing to her eyes, something she’d never imagined she would find attractive until now. His movements were precise, almost graceful, and she couldn’t help but admire how focused he was while preparing the meal.

She stared at him, eventually taking a seat on the kitchen counter chair to watch him uninterrupted. The warmth of the room, the tantalizing scent of the food, and the presence of Alexander were all very calming. Her current feelings were a stark contrast to the chaos and fear she’d experienced earlier.

“This won’t take long. I’m just preparing something quick. You must be hungry by now,” he said, focused on cooking beef stroganoff. It was one of her favorites and Sanya was also good at cooking this pasta.

Before long, he served the dish in front of her. “There, please eat.”

Rain smiled and eagerly started eating. She could feel Alexander’s gaze on her, but she didn’t mind- especially with such good homemade food in front of her.
