He pouted.
Then he flopped onto the bed, looking sulky.
Lucinda held back her laughter and switched off the light.
The room fell into darkness, and at that moment, he pressed his body against hers.
He was like a ravenous wolf, eager to devour his prey.
Untilâ¦
âOuch, that hurts.
Honey, be gentle with me,â Nathan pleaded.
Lucinda gave him a sharp pinch on the ass.
He buried his head in her neck, groaning in discomfort.
âCan you sleep now?â Lucinda asked seriously.
âYesâ¦â

The following morning, at the National Security Bureau, Nathan was getting dressed in his military attire when Sonny knocked on the door.
âThe evidence of Mekhiâs crimes has been organized.
Larry and Lonnie are stationed near the Shawsâ
house, awaiting your instructions.
â
Nathan fastened the last button on his military uniform with his delicate fingers, and then abruptly turned around âAlright, letâs head to the Shawsâ house and arrest him.
â
Upon leaving the office, Nathan descended the stairs without glancing to the side and made his way to the outdoor garage.
Fletcher rushed toward him, nearly colliding with him.
âIâm terribly sorry! I didnât see you, sir.
â
Wearing a stern expression, Nathan responded, âWhy the hurry? Whereâs your discipline? This is the National Security Bureau, not your house.
â
Fretfully, Fletcher bowed to him and offered an apology, âI apologize, sir.
I was preoccupied because I just received distressing news.
â
Nathan turned his head and inquired, âWhat news?â
âMr.
Shaw⦠His mother passed away last night.
The Shaw family is in disarray.
He has a suspicion that⦠She may have been murdered by someone!â
Nathan and Sonny were both taken aback by the news.
They exchanged glances, and then Nathan swiftly regained his composure.
âAlright, Iâll head to the Shawsâ house to investigate.
