Rain’s face twisted slightly in surprise. She’d thought he was helping her out of goodwill, but it seemed that he was only keeping tabs on her.
“What do you want in return?” she asked in all
seriousness, before taking a sip of the fresh lemonade he handed to her.
“Hmm… Nothing comes to mind yet, but I’ll definitely ask you for a favor when the time comes,” he replied, digging into his own plate beside her. “Do you want some toasted bread?”
He was about to stand up before she stopped him. “It’s fine. Just eat. I’ll get it myself,” she insisted. “Do you want one?”
“Yeah, the bread’s in the cabinet over there,” he
pointed out. He then gave her a look and hesitatingly added, “Can you reach it?”
“Of course I can! I’m not small,” she snorted. “It’s just that you’re too tall!”
Standing up, Rain was pretty sure she could get it. She

was five feet seven inches while Alexander was easily over six feet, but that wasn’t too much of a stretch.
With a huff, she stood in front of the cabinet. It was high, but she could reach it. Well, just barely if she tiptoed.
Smiling triumphantly, she turned around, only to catch Alexander staring at her lower body. Immediately, her smile turned into a frown as she realized her shirt had
ridden up, exposing her behind. Even more, her eyes widened as it dawned on her that she wasn’t wearing anything beneath his shirt.
“Pervert!” she snapped, her face flushing red as Alexander’s turned crimson.
“It’s not like I did it intentionally,” he defensively muttered, quickly shifting his focus back to his plate.
Rain didn’t say another word and hurried to toast the bread, her face still burning with embarrassment. But then again, Alexander had already seen her fully naked in the bathroom anyway.
Still, despite everything, she couldn’t forget how gentle he had been; of how he had hesitated, but ultimately helped her without taking advantage. That

one thought lingered in her head until the sound of the oven pulled her out of her reverie.
Quickly, she grabbed the bread, but it was too hot for her to handle.
“Ouch!” she flinched.
“What happened?!”
Before she could even move, Alexander was already by her side inspecting her hand.
“Just a minor burn,” she reassured him.
“So clumsy,” he muttered with a frown before pulling her over to wash the burn under cold water.
Rain pouted as it happened, biting her lower lip as that burning sensation slowly crept back into her body. Turning to Alexander with wide eyes, she gasped, “I’m feeling weird again.”
Alexander blinked at her for a moment, his lips parting slightly as he glanced at his wristwatch. There were still four hours left it would seem. He inwardly cursed at the timing. He was hoping that the intervals between the waves would grow longer–or else he might end up in more pain than her dealing with

relentless blue balls if this kept up.
It was already getting painful just having a glimpse of her buttocks a moment ago. He was rock hard, and he had never reacted like this before, even with other women who tried their best to get his attention by wearing revealing clothes.
It was embarrassing, but it was something he unfortunately had no control over. He couldn’t deny the fact that Rain had a powerful impact on him, and the sexual tension between them was a torture he
never anticipated he would experience when she unexpectedly entered his life.
Turning to face Rain, she hoarsely muttered to him, “Sorry about this. I can’t help it.”
Before he could respond, her lips slammed against his, her body pressing into him. Once again, he was trapped in her allure. It was as if his body had a mind
of its own.
Without warning, he lifted her up, groaning as she quickly wrapped her legs around his waist. Instinctively, he walked them toward the empty part of the kitchen counter and set Rain down, positioning

himself between her legs.
Like last time, her lips were soft and luscious, almost like velvet against his own. Each kiss was like a drug leaving him craving more. There was a subtle
sweetness to her taste, mingling in with the faint,
intoxicating flavor of the lemonade she had just sipped minutes prior.
With each kiss, the warmth of her breath fanned against his face. With every second, he felt himself sinking deeper and deeper into the sensation, almost wanting nothing more than to lose himself in the rhythm of their mouths moving together.
It was a cascading feedback loop. Every time their lips parted, a surge of longing pulled him back in, as if her kiss was the only thing that could satisfy the hunger building inside him. It was addictive; a passion that made him want to kiss her all night long, tasting her over and over until the world around them faded away.
Alexander so badly wanted to kiss every inch of her body, and he could only wonder just when he became this consumed with desire for a woman who was practically a stranger to him. Despite their short time together, in the few days he had spent with her as

both Rain Clayton and Diana Jones, it already felt like he had known her for a lifetime.
“Rain…”
He called out her name as he reluctantly broke their kiss to allow them both a chance to breathe. His chest heaved, but he couldn’t stop himself from trailing
kisses along her jawline along the way, his tongue
lightly flicking against her skin before gently sucking on it.
It wasn’t even new. The marks he’d left before were still visible, and yet he still felt an intense urge to leave more; to claim her in a way he couldn’t quite explain.
“Tell me what you want,” he whispered into her ear, his voice rough as he nibbled on her earlobe.
“Just kiss me and touch me… It’s making me feel good, and it eases the pain,” she moaned, her hands already reaching for the hem of his shirt. Pulling it up, her fingers grazed the hard planes of his chest as she
tugged it over his head. “I want to feel your warmth against mine…”
Her breath felt hot against his ear as he let her remove his shirt, letting out a growl from his throat as her
