Javier stayed at Tanya’s place for three days before returning to the research center by plane. Suzanne and her team had just obtained the preliminary result, and while her AIDS vaccine had previously come with the nasty side effect of kidney failure, that problem had now been eradicated. The ingredients and composition of the vaccine had more or less been finalized, and the only thing left to do was conduct more clinical trials to ensure that no other side effects would arise.To express his gratitude to Suzanne and her team, Javier gave them all a hefty monetary reward and held a celebratory evening banquet. It was a merry event, so everyone was pleased with their boss’ generosity.The only one who did not seem very happy was Javier himself. At least, that was what Suzanne thought. She ambled to his side and dropped down on a seat, asking, “What’s wrong? You don’t seem happy.”Javier flashed her a smile. “That’s not true at all, ma’am. I’m obviously ecstatic! The only reason I don
“Urgh! I swear, this is literally the only thing you ever do with me, you b*stard! I told you, we can’t keep doing this anymore!” Audrey protested once their romp was over.Javier smiled and nodded noncommittally as he listened to her rant. He took her protest seriously, but—well, changing his nature was a different matter altogether.Audrey was pretty aware of this—and therefore, a little glum. Javier always promised he would never do it again, only to break his promises as though they were nothing. He would come to her, let loose, deplete her strength until only the bare minimum remained, and then they would lie down side by side, exhausted and satisfied.After her protest, Audrey rose to go to the bathroom. She knew there was no point in avoiding his libido, so she skipped closing the door altogether. “I heard you people are almost done packing up to leave. If you guys ever move out, warn me, please,” she told him between breaks while taking a shower. “I need to prepare the hotel
Javier could not wait for the day of the Lance-Ker Awards. But before that time came, he got something else instead—a phone call from Chessie, to be exact. She told him cryptically that there was something she hoped he could help her with.Javier knew Chessie. She would not plead for his help even if someone stuck a gun to her head, so the fact that she was asking him right now, in a voice this uncharacteristically meek and soft, shocked Javier. He asked her what had happened, but the young woman simply asked him to meet her at her place.There was little work for him to do lately. Javier had someone else to help him oversee the research and development of the vaccine, so he was free to attend this mysterious meeting. As soon as the call ended, he bought the earliest plane ticket he could find and immediately headed to Chessie’s part of the country.He reached the city at night and met Chessie by the entrance of the airport. She was as beautiful as he remembered, and tough as a nail
Chessie had no problem paying Javier for a wonderful night. He was a handsome freak in the sheets who asked for very little despite the expensive experience he delivered. No one would see him as anything but a great bargain. The problem, however, was that she was in battle warrior mode. Like a warrior, she would see trails of blood during her showers despite not even having a scratch. Like a warrior, she would bleed for a week and yet walk around without suffering from any blood loss. Yep. Chessie was going through that time of the month, and his libido could do nothing about it. It would be barbaric of him to answer his carnal calling without any concern for Chessie’s condition. She was his woman, so caring for her was part of his responsibility. But gosh, he swore to God, it did not mean holding his lust in was easy at all. Hell, it made the night torturous. Here lay Chessie, beautiful and alluring, cuddling in his arms—so close yet so far away. It was the worst. Just the wor
“My dearest Miss Sommer! You truly have the most amazing body ever! Just look at your fair, long, lean legs! Even the best models in the business would surrender at the sight of them. And your butt! Incredibly sexy, just like a ripe peach! Oh, and let’s not forget the jaw-droppingly perfect proportions of your waist and chest—perfection is what they are!“Believe me, Miss Sommer, I’m not exaggerating when I say you possess the most beautiful figure I’ve ever seen. You really are one of a kind, a true primadonna! If you graced my evening by joining me for dinner later...oh, it would be the highest honor of my life!”On and on, Kenny Mason, the gym trainer, prattled with all the flattery he could summon. The target of his buttery infatuation? Lilith Sommer, who was jogging on the treadmill. Her supposed husband was standing nearby, but Kenny ignored him altogether.Everyone in the gym knew who Draco DeSantis was. He was a spineless waste of space, that was who he was. He never raised
Javier’s unfazed attitude ignited an inferno within the thrice-insulted Kenny.Kenny had had his fair share of being on the receiving end of verbal abuse. But to be subjected to Draco-f*cking-DeSantis’ slights three times in a f*cking row?! How could he not be p*ssed?!He did not even wait until Javier’s hands were in the gloves. He charged, fueled by pure rage, springing toward his prey like a provoked jaguar. A sharp gust rolled along at his momentum, and when he was a few inches away from his target, he leaped into the air and performed a mighty swing.It actually looked pretty cool.At that very moment, Lilith walked out of the changing room, smoothing down the corner of her shirt.Then, her eyes traveled up to the ring—and widened.Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined seeing her milquetoast husband standing in a ring, engaged in a fight. She would have tried to understand why this anomaly was happening, but now was not the time. Besides, her mind was completely occup
Lilith drove, speeding all the way until she stopped at a lavishly designed Hermes boutique. It was not just a family gathering today. It was Lilith’s third brother, Raphael’s birthday.Both of them had been the closest since they were young, so Lilith would never forget Raphael’s birthday.She took nearly half an hour to filter her choices upon entering the boutique and finally made up her mind on a belt that cost around 10.5 thousand dollars.It was only a belt! Using a rope could do, but the Sommers were rich since they were business tycoons in Beencelle. 10.5 thousand dollars was nothing much to them, especially when it was highly likely that money came from the narcotics trade.Lilith went back to the car with Javier holding the luxuriously wrapped gift box that the belt was in, only to discover that the car had broken down. The ignition was normal, and the clutch was normal, but the gear could not work. It was like the gear stick was welded.Lilith liked driving manual cars,
While Shane, the elite of elites in cars, was still gloating, Javier made his utmost honest comment regarding the former with the simplest word.This angered Shane. No one dared call him a fool right in his face when he was the second son of the Sullivans. He grabbed Javier, who wanted to go to the passenger seat, insisting on getting to the bottom of it.Javier had only explained when he saw Lilith’s confused gaze. He was mainly doing the explanation for her.“There’s a small possibility that clutch disks will stick together when you drive on a rainy day. When they’re stuck, you can’t shift your gears.“Starting the engine in your gears will cause the car to rush forward due to the gears, and the force will separate the stuck clutch disks.“That’s why I shifted the gear to go forward when I started the engine. It’s this simple.”Javier’s explanation made sense.Shane, who realized that the bumper of the car had not hit the pavement, was even more convinced that the latter was n
