Chapter 28: Mint Lollipop

Tyrone composed himself as he quickly dragged his eyes in a different direction. His face reddened, but he didn't utter a single word. He would not deny that Raine's presence strongly affected him, but that didn't mean he would entertain or do anything about it.

Raine chuckled as she put her coffee mug down on the table. She never prepared coffee for anyone except Tyrone so far since she liked him too much. She couldn't help but loosen herself whenever she was with him.

She got up from her seat and walked in Tyrone's direction. She stood in front of him and bent down. She rested her hands on the headrest of the couch with her arms blocking Tyrone's sides. She then slowly leaned her face closer to his. She stared directly into his eyes, Tyrone not batting an eye in meeting her intense stare.

Her scent… was so intoxicating… And her eyes… Tyrone would just love to dwell within those beautiful eyes and see his reflection like that more often. But he knew he must not, for his own good and hers.

"What are you doing…" Tyrone murmured in his husky voice as Raine suddenly sat on his lap. It was tediously familiar. Like that one night at the strip club where she also sat on his lap. The only difference here was that she was not straddling him too much this time. 

"So, darling. Tell me…" Raine whispered in his ear. "How come you don't look surprised upon knowing that the Bloody-Eyed Hunter and Raine Yue, the only heiress of Yue Group, are one and the same person in the flesh?" She would like to play more; lick and nibble his earlobe. However, it was too early to be way too aggressive. She should lay low for a while.

Meanwhile, the same feeling surged over Tyrone. The desire for her was consuming him in that very instant. Her hot breath on his ear was making him so freaking delirious!

The next thing Tyrone felt was Raine's hand tightening on his neck.

"Tell me…" she whispered once more. "Why should I spare your life knowing this important secret about me, huh?" 

It was not a surprise for him, knowing the character of the bloody-eye hunter. Yet, he was confident that she wouldn't kill him so quickly like this.

"Because… you… like… me…" Tyrone answered under his breath.

Raine released Tyrone's neck that instant. She remained sitting on his lap, seeing as she was enjoying it for some reason. She, too, could not explain why exactly. It was as if there was a magnet pulling her to him.

For now, she could only assume that it was because she was curious about him. The mystery clouded her intuition about him and his possible connection to the lollipop boy.

"Aren't you too confident, huh?" Raine commented with a grin, staring at Tyrone's beautiful eyes.

"If I'm not, then I'm probably dead already, right?" Tyrone countered while he massaged his neck.  "Should I address you as Madame? Ma'am? Boss? Please tell me what you prefer?" he asked, diverting the eerie and torturous atmosphere around them.

Raine gave him a seductive smile. She trailed her fingers from Tyrone's neck, crawling their way up to his face as if she was touching piano keys till her forefinger stopped at the corner of Tyrone's eyes.

"I will spare you because your eyes remind me of him," Raine said with a grin. "It would be a waste not seeing those beautiful eyes of yours again. And I prefer if you will address me as 'darling,' like how I am addressing you right now."

Tyrone let out a sigh of relief as soon as Raine finally got up from his lap.

If Raine only saw how his face finally relaxed, she would have definitely thrown endless teases towards him. But then again, he was a man and not a Saint! He even doubted that a Saint could manage not to react to Raine's way of teasing a man!

Tyrone frowned and unconsciously whispered, "Do you do this to any men you find attractive?"

"You mean sparing their life?" Raine naively asked as she sat back on the couch opposite Tyrone. She grabbed her mug of coffee and began drinking it.

"No. It's about you sitting on a man's lap and getting too touchy," Tyrone couldn't help but point out. "It's not something a woman should casually do…" It was torture for him. He had to use all of his strength ofs self-control to not break out and just attack her whenever she would tease him like that.

Raine chuckled.

"I'd hate to disappoint you, darling, but I am not your simple ordinary woman," she winked. "You see, I'm complicated. So learn to adapt if you want to stay longer by my side. I assume you're already aware of it already?" she said with a wink. 

With their actions and conversations, one would think that the two already knew each other for far too long due to their chemistry with their actions and conversations. Raine was aware of it, and she liked her connection with Tyrone. She enjoyed his company so much that she would not hesitate to keep the man with her at all times.

"I prefer that we maintain professionalism with each other, Boss." Tyrone casually answered. 

Raine's mouth twitched as she countered, "I've always mixed business with pleasure, darling."

Tyrone did not respond. He had a mission to fulfill. He better made sure not to be on Raine's bad side or mix business with pleasure, or he would fail.

"Drink your coffee before it gets cold," Raine instructed. 

Tyrone grabbed the coffee and started drinking it. It was then that he noticed the white lollipop stick and picked it up.

Tyrone wrinkled his forehead and commented, "There's a mint lollipop?"

Raine smiled, "Yeah. I added a mint lollipop as a sweetener. Do you like it? Does the mint lollipop look familiar to you? You like lollipops too, right?"

Her stare was far too deep. It was penetrating through his soul.. Raine wanted to see if she could truly see through him somehow.
