Chapter 101 - Losing Her Men

Raine didn't bother to rest after she talked to the families and assisted in the funeral of Jill and Johnny for the entire night. It was a heartbreaking scene as Jill and Johnny's families cried over their bodies before the burial. 'I'm sorry,' were the only words Tyrone heard from Raine during the Funeral Service up to the burial, and it broke his heart seeing her in that kind of state.

After the funeral, Raine chose to stay in her private residence inside the Moon Clan Territory instead of going straight to the Yue Mansion. She had closed herself inside her workout room, waiting silently for her Uncle Yun to arrive.

Seeing Raine so reticent, Tyrone was worried about her current mental state. So as soon as Yun left, he immediately went and looked for her. Searching around, he eventually found Raine sitting on the couch in her bedroom with her eyes closed. She was sweating all over, and her intoxicating scent was so addicting that he wanted to pull her in right then and there. It was the exact same scenario from a while ago when he had covered her with his own body to shield her from her uncle's cane.

Tyrone held himself with a veneer of calmness despite his feelings. With each passing day, he cursed his own carnal desires as they only intensified to the point that controlling himself was becoming an actual struggle. 

"How's your back?" Raine asked him.

"It's just a scratch," Tyrone absently replied as he stared at Raine, preying on her luscious body. He wanted so badly to lick off every bead of sweat on her glistening skin. 

'Damn!' he cursed as he caught his perverted thought.

"So, how do you plan on babysitting me now, Tyrone?" she asked with her eyes still closed. She overheard Tyrone's conversation with her uncle since she was curious how Tyrone would handle the man's tantrums.

"How do you think I should babysit a beautiful monster like you?" Tyrone asked back in his casual tone, making Raine burst into laughter. 

Opening her eyes, she turned to look at him as she playfully whispered, "How about chaining me to my bed?"

She looked as if she was back to her usual naughty teasing from the outside. However, Tyrone knew that she was still a broken wreck inside. He could sense it, the despair hiding beneath her usual tone. But even so, her words were so hot that he honestly considered ignoring all decency and simply doing it with her. 

Raising an eyebrow, Raine stood up and walked closer to him. "How come you're just standing there like a statue?" she commented, not breaking eye contact with him. "Do I smell bad?"

Tyrone quickly shook his head. She could smell her hot breath, and if Raine wouldn't keep her distance, he would probably go crazy and completely lose control!

"Can you bathe me? I feel tired and weak to do it on my own," Raine absently asked aloud. You've done it before already, so it'll be easy for you to do it again, right?"

'Easy?! What's with your attitude today? Do you want to punish me or something?!' Tyrone screamed in his head. How could she ask him to bathe her like before!? How cruel was she to ask him for this?

"Please?" Raine added with her puppy eyes.

"Alright…" Tyrone unconsciously whispered that he was stunned when he caught his own words. How had he even uttered that word out loud?

"Ah, thank you. Please prepare my bath!" Raine gratefully murmured before quickly removing her clothes, to which Tyrone quickly went inside her bathroom to save himself.

'This isn't good,' Tyrone's mind reminded him, but it seemed that saying no to her was damn hard too. Preparing her bathtub, he was startled when Raine stepped into the tub completely naked. He was in such deep thought that he didn't even realize that she was already there.

Getting his bearings back, Tyrone gulped at the sight of her nakedness. It wasn't the first time he saw her without a single thing on her body, but it always felt as if it was his first time seeing her just from the overwhelming desires engulfing his entire body.

Sinking into the water, Raine lowered her body on the tub as she directly whispered, "Do you want to join me?"

In truth, she was longing for Tyrone but was too busy to entertain the feeling. Right now, she felt lost at losing her men for the first time. The fear of losing more of her squad members suddenly frightened her, and she began questioning if everything they were doing was really worth it. If Jill and Johnny's life was the price for Xander to live, was it worth it? After all, those two died while trying to monitor and protect the man.

Xander was someone who had the right to rule over the Moon Clan. Could he do it? Replace her father? But how about Nathaniel, who she already felt could attack them at any moment? Technically, it was Nathaniel who was next in line and not Xander... Would Nathaniel spare her and her family if she managed to save one of his blood in Xander?

Hearing no response from Tyrone, Raine repeated, "Please join me … It's an order..."

She wondered what Tyrone had in his mind at that moment. He probably thought that she was some horny bi*tch right now, and Raine didn't care too much about it anymore. She just wanted to feel his warmth and comfort. Hugging her knees and putting her head down, she sighed sadly. 

Seeing her so dejected, Tyrone let out a heavy sigh of his own, "You're impossible."

Raine's lips curved into a pleased smile when she felt Tyrone step inside the bathtub. Slowly raising her head, she saw him in front of her, staring at her with his usual stoic expression. 

Raine held a suppressed laugh as she scoffed, "Who dares bathe with their clothes on?" True to her words, he still wore his black shirt on, and she was sure that he still had his shorts on as well. "If you're uncomfortable, then I'll let you keep your briefs on. It's just like you wearing your trunks on a beach," Raine said with a wink. 

Tyrone's face reddened. He kept his silence, quietly pulling off his shirt in front of her and removing it. He also took off his shorts and dropped them on the floor.

"Happy now?" Tyrone grimaced.

Raine had a pout as she shamelessly uttered, "Happy, yes. But not satisfied. I'd prefer if you didn't have anything on your body too."

"I hope you know what you're asking for," Tyrone, in his hoarse voice, murmured.
