Raine became ever so busy as days went by. It had also become a medium for her to treat Tyrone professionally, as in treating him as an ordinary right-hand man. Ever since that incident with Boris, she avoided teasing him or being playful around him.
Right now, she was with Tyrone and Draki in an open ocean inside a luxury yacht drifting over the ocean waves. She was in her bathing suit. And this time, she chose to wear something plain instead of the usual raunchy swimsuit.
"I saw this coming a mile away…" Raine murmured while looking at the photos of Senior Yang, Xander's father, stationed in country V. The sun was scorching hot at that point, beaming its burning rays on Raine's skin as she comfortably laid on a chair on the deck of her private yacht.
She was on a beach not far from the Plumeria Island's territory where Xander and his wife were hiding. It was a good opportunity for her to get some fresh air, as well, especially since she couldn't stand to see her uncle's rotten face inside their territory. His arrogant mug giving out instructions left and right, acting like he was the ruler in the clan.
"Did you ever find out if there was any other reason for him staying at the Chen Mansion?" Raine asked Tyrone, who simply tapped on his tablet before handing it over to Raine to show her something.
Tyrone felt how the sun's rays burnt into his skin, and he wondered if Raine ever applied sunblock on her body because the sun's heat would surely burn her skin. Such a thing would leave rashes, seeing as she currently only wore a bikini.
"This video circulated online last night," Tyrone explained, still bothered with Raine's skin being battered by the sun. He was unaffected by the sudden coldness that Raine was showing him because he knew that it was only a facade. Deep inside, he knew that it was not how she wanted to treat him.
Raine furrowed her brows and smirked as she watched the video, "Wow, what a romantic scene for our seniors. What a lovely scene. It's like I'm watching a movie. Did Uncle see this already?"
"Yes, he did, so security for Senior Yang is loose from his side. He now wants his men to focus on finding out where Xander is hiding… He'll find Xander eventually, too…" Tyrone commented with a sigh.
"I'm sure Xander's father isn't there just to get some tickling romance added in his life. I want you to report every detail of the old man's movements to me. Especially when he goes out… My gut's telling me that he has some other agenda behind his current stay in our country. Make sure your movements are discreet in a way that not even my uncle would find out what you're doing." Raine instructed and she heard another sigh from Tyrone.
She rolled her eyes, "Why are You letting off sighs everywhere, Tyrone? We found Xander first so that's good enough. I can save him or kill him before my uncle does anything to him," Raine murmured as she handed back the tablet to Tyrone.
Tyrone's face twisted at her words. It wasn't because of Xander that he was sighing, but because he was actually worried about her burning skin.
"Did you even put on sunblock before sunbathing like this? The temperature today is quite high, and your ski-"
He paused, seeing Raine raise her arm, signaling him to leave.
"What a distraction!" Raine hissed.
She had clearly erased Tyrone's memory, so she wondered why he was still acting so clingy around her. Not that she didn't like it, but…
Her frown changed into a warm smile as she felt Draki's fur brush up on her legs. Her pet wolf barked and pounced on her happily. Truly her dear daughter Aire was so thoughtful in giving Draki to her as a present.
"Do you want to swim again?" Raine asked with a smile, only to frown as she saw a bottle of sunblock lotion in Draki's mouth.
"What? Is he your boss that you're following his instructions now?" Raine dryly scolded Draki, who shoved the bottle of sunblock from its mouth and onto her lap. Draki stared at her, nudging its nose on the sunblock as if instructing her to put it on her body.
Raine turned around to look at Tyrone, who quickly avoided her glare by looking in another direction before talking to their men as if instructing something.
"Such a nuisance…" she mumbled as she opened the bottle to apply some sunblock. If Tyrone didn't stop acting like this, she would have no choice but to erase all of his memories about her.
Raine began wondering if that memory-loss powder was indeed effective on Tyrone or if he was just pretending all along. She couldn't really tell… A lot of things were circulating inside her head… so many speculations that she hoped to be wrong…
A few more minutes…
"Patrols are coming, guys, get your act together," Raine reminded her group when she saw the patrols approaching them.
"I told you the security at the island is very tight," Tyrone whispered in Raine's ear as she comfortably put his arm over Raine's shoulder and pulled her close to him. Their role to play was as a couple on their honeymoon. And that right now, their yacht wasn't working, effectively stranding them.
"Looks like you're enjoying your role too much," Raine whispered back when she felt Tyrone's lips on her cheek and temple, giving her light kisses.
"Who wouldn't?" Tyrone boldly answered, even grabbing Raine's hand and giving it loving kisses as well.
"Sir, is there any problem?" The patrol officer asked as soon as they arrived at the yacht.
"Oh, yeah. Our yacht has stalled…" the captain began, talking and explaining their cover story to the officer. The officers occasionally looked at Tyrone and Raine, even sparing Draki occasional glances.
As such, Tyrone took that opportunity to act coy and sweeter to Raine.
"You're overacting," Raine mumbled in complaint when Tyrone peeled her an orange and fed it to her one by one.
"Who says I'm acting?" Tyrone casually smirked, stealing a vulgar kiss from Raine's lips.
Raine's eyes widened, but she still gave Tyrone a sweet smile since she could tell that the patrol officers were sneaking glances at them.
Her heart was actually pounding so hard. Tyrone's closeness was making her body burn in desire that she could not help but recall their intimate moments. She shook off those thoughts out of her head and tried her best to calm the beating of her heart.
"I will definitely… take care of you after this," Raine muttered with a plastic smile at Tyrone. The latter, meanwhile, simply ignored her warning signals and continued being touchy and sweet at her. He could no longer control it. He saw an opportunity, and he would not miss it. He longed to get close to her like this that he was close to getting mad, thinking how he could do it without Raine rejecting him.
"I would love that… you taking care of me romantically and sweetly," Tyrone whispered in Raine's ear.
