Now he was forbidden to see Ryland ever again.
Wade had mentioned that in a few years Ryland might have to give him blood.
The thought made Chris wish he could disappear.
âWhat does your brother want with your son? Does he want to keep him?â Allie asked.
âDonât go there.â
âHuh? Why not?â Allie poked him in the chest.
âDid that hit a nerve?â
Chris looked at her with a frosty stare.
âDonât touch me.â
Allieâs smile was laced with mischief. âOh, I will.â Then her eyes darted to his dick.
âIt is fascinating how Rafael reacts when touched here. Makes me wonder if itâs a universal reaction among men.
In response, Chris squeezed his legs together and scooted backwards, putting some distance between them.
As Allieâs fingers almost grazed Chris, Rafael intervened and pulled her away abruptly.
âRafael, werenât you on your way out?â Allie inquired, feigning surprise.
Holding a medical kit and wearing an impassive expression, Rafael replied, âItâs time for your temperature check.
âBut I was hoping to spend more time with this gentleman, perhaps explore a deeper connection,â Allie cooed, her voice dripping with innuendo as she emphasised the word âdeeperâ.
â Rafaelâs voice turned icy, his eyes narrowing.
âHave you had enough?â
âNot at all.â Allieâs smile turned smug as she raised an eyebrow.
âYouâre jealous, arenât you? Admit it, you have feelings for me.â With a heavy breath, Rafael felt the sting of regret for his impulsive decision to come over.
âYouâre reading too much into this. Believe me, it would not bother me in the least if you ended up having sex with him.
âFine, Iâll just have sex with him. Who knows? He might even end up being the father of my child.â Allieâs eyes shone with defiance as she shrugged.
Chris, caught in the middle of their exchange, looked from Allie to Rafael in utter confusion.
Allie bent down and stroked Chrisâs cheek.
âHandsome, make tonight unforgettable and maybe Iâll save you a trip to the airport tomorrow.â She leaned forward and planted a lingering kiss on Chrisâ cheek, casting a sly glance at Rafael to make sure he caught the moment.
With a last look, Rafael turned away, his steps heavy as he left the scene.
That night, in his dimly lit room, Rafael lay wide awake, unable to relax as Allie turned up the volume to deafening levels.
Unable to bear the noise any longer, Rafael was about to go out to confront her when he noticed a group of servants passing by.
âWhere are you going?â he asked one of them.
