Chapter 44: Talking To The Moon

At her words, Tyrone burst out in a fit of laughter.

"What's funny, huh?" she snorted with a frown.

"Oh, nothing. It's just that I admire your overconfidence. You see, I've heard a different description about the infamous Bloody-Eyed Hunter, and the same goes for the heiress of Yue Group. Most men aren't dying to be your slave. Instead, they're trying not to cross paths with you since you're so scary."

Raine twitched her mouth and grunted, "Is that so? And do I look that scary to you, darling?"

Tyrone gulped, suddenly regretting his comment. Did he go too far? Raine's nostrils flared out, but she didn't say another word, which was far scarier as it made him wonder if Raine would torture him later.

The aforementioned torture didn't have to wait however as Tyrone felt Raine's foot moving up his leg from under the table. He froze on the spot, unable to move or say a word. He then looked at Raine with a conflicted expression.

Right now, Raine looked like a temptress with the way she stared and smirked at Tyrone as her one foot continued to go up to his leg. By the time she reached his knees, he gulped nervously before it suddenly moved inside his thighs.

"Aren't you going to eat? We have a long day ahead tomorrow, so eat and sleep early. Relax, will you?" Raine whispered as she finally had her fill. She immediately pulled her foot away from Tyrone's thighs. With a mischievous grin, she said, "That should be enough for now. If you want more, then you already know how to ask for it."

Tyrone didn't say a word. He let out a sigh of relief before diverting his attention back to the food. Seeing him, Raine began eating as well with a triumphant smile on her face. However, it soon dissipated as soon as she recalled her conversation with Tyrone just a while ago.

Tyrone didn't ask much in regards about her father. Everyone knew that the Chairman of the Yue Group was sick and currently undergoing a long period of recovery. As such, Tyrone didn't bother to ask if her father knew about her underworld activities.

'Did Uncle Yun happen to tell or confirm to Tyrone the existence of Mirage, and how the Yue Group was just a disguise of the Moon Clan community?'

Raine shook her head. Surely that wouldn't be the case. She doubted that her Uncle Yun would trust Tyrone that much to disclose information about Mirage and their clan, knowing that Tyrone was from Umbra.

Through all of this, Raine was having her brain worked up because of it as she ate.  She looked at Tyrone, wondering if he was simply not interested in her family affairs. Maybe he was indeed Nathaniel, that Lollipop boy? It would explain why he already knew enough to not bother asking about it.

Raine ate heartily. As she finished, she looked at Tyrone and said, "I'll go ahead to check on some things."

Tyrone only nodded.

With a nod, Raine then directly went back to her room. She then cleaned herself up and changed into a comfortable nightgown that she loved to wear whenever she was sleeping. Before getting some well-deserved rest, however, she continued on some of her unfinished business in her secret room first, double-checking routes and accesses for what she intended to do later.

It didn't take too much of her time to finish everything. Still having a bit of time on her hands, Raine rested her head on the headrest as she stared at the ceiling. 

"What are you going to do now, Raine?" she gravely whispered to herself. She had to do the right thing, but there would always be consequences. She wondered if she was even ready to face such a thing.

After some time, she decided to go out of her secret room. It was already past nine in the evening, and she frowned when she noticed that Tyrone wasn't inside the room yet. Seeking to rectify this error, she went out to look for him. After all, he was her human pillow, and she really loved his warmth.

Searching around, she walked to every part of the penthouse except the spare bedrooms, but she couldn't find him.

"Did he really just disobey me and sleep in another room?" Raine mumbled with a creased forehead. Checking her theory, she went into the spare rooms. Sure enough, she saw him sleeping in the bedroom on the opposite side of hers.

"What the heck?" she snorted. But then she thought, 'He didn't even bother to lock the door. Was he waiting for me to bug him like this?'

"I shouldn't disappoint him then," Raine sniggered as she then sneakily walked up towards the bed. Carefully climbing up on his bed, she tugged herself under the same quilt and then snuggled into Tyrone's warm body.

"Can you just please sleep in your room?" Tyrone whispered in his hoarse voice. He was honestly close to dozing off when he felt Raine's body brush up against his.

"How come you're topless?" Rained ignored his protests. "Anyway, it feels much warmer. We should sleep more often with you topless like this."

Tyrone sighed deeply.

"I don't know what's with you giving 'the hard to get' vibe when you like being near me, so stop mumbling this nonsense and let's just sleep. It's not like I'll do something bad to you. I just want to cuddle since your warmth is so addicting," Raine candidly stated.

Tyrone was speechless. He couldn't explain himself at all since Raine was right. However, how would they even define this? It was clearly not just a bodyguard-client relationship.

Tyrone bid farewell to his sleep as he tried to make himself comfortable. He was sure that while Raine was already snoring, he would still be chanting a mantra for himself to get that fleeting sleep chased away by her nearness.

It was already midnight, and when Tyrone had made sure that Raine was finally in a deep sleep, he carefully got up from the bed and quietly went to the penthouse's balcony. There, he typed some reports and sent them to Yun to keep up his end of their agreement. He also needed to gain Yun's trust to keep Raine safe…

Tyrone let out some air in his lungs before staring at the bright moon. The moon tonight was in a crescent shape. 

"How come you're playing with me like this?" he asked as if he was talking to the moon directly.
