This was the first time in days that Lauren smiled.
Since Lauren hadnât fallen asleep, Landon wasnât going to let her off easily.
Without even a shower beforehand, Landon hurriedly undressed himself while kissing Lauren, pressing her into the bed.
Laurenâs dainty lace sleeping gown was soon tossed onto the floor, leaving her naked legs shivering under Landonâs touch.
The sound of harsh panting and moans filled the room. The two lovers enveloped one another closely, both in heart and body.
After they were finished, neither had the energy to shower despite being covered in sweat. They didnât mind, however, and held one another to sleep.
âIâm so sorry for making you wait, my dear,â Landon said softly. He often felt like he owed Lauren deeply. People with autism needed at lot of companionship, but Landon was always so busy and unable to provide that to Lauren.
Lauren nuzzled against his chest and shook her head.
âDonât think just because Iâm the eldest grandchild in my family that Iâm all high and mighty. Iâm actually not as high in status as you are. Youâre Mr. Javierâs beloved youngest daughter. Plus, you have a big brother and sister-in-law to dote on you. On the other hand, I have to build myself up,â Landon said.
With a bitter smile, he continued, âIf I donât step into the family. business now, then I might not have any connections to my family in Landon wanted control of the Harper Group before because of his father. But now there was one more reason-for his wife and potential children.
âDarlingâ¦â Lauren mewled, her tender voice melting Landonâs heart.â Youâve truly given me a lot already. I want nothing more than to see you happy and healthy.â
âNo. Itâs not enough yet.â Landon raised Laurenâs chin so their eyes met. âI donât just want you to have all of me. I want the entire Harper Group to become your wedding gift.â
Lauren listened on dumbly, slowly falling asleep afterward.
After having his beloved in his arms, Landon, who had been exhausted, no longer felt that way.
Lauren was his, and he wanted to give her the best.
He never wanted to be a mere complacent playboy.
What Landon wanted was to avenge his father and make his grandfather pass the entirety of Harper Group to him, leaving Pre with nothing!
After returning to Solana City, Jasper moved into Alyssaâs home. Previously, it was out of Alyssaâs pity, but now it was official.
The two had already dozed on the flight back for a couple of hours. After returning home, Alyssa swiftly cleaned up and went to sleep without so much as changing her clothes.
She was so tired!
Jasper didnât want Alyssa to sleep in discomfort, so he clumsily helped her change into sleepwear. Who knew Alyssa would be so âMm⦠tastyâ¦â Alyssa mumbled in her sleep, licking her lips.
Jasper smiled and tickled her nose. âHungry little minx. Iâll feed your when you wake up.â
Jasper suddenly recalled how Alyssa had gnawed on her lip just so she wouldnât cry out on the plane.
The thought made desire boil in his. abdomen..
Jasper was a gentleman. He wasnât going to take advantage of Alyssa.
After wrestling with himself, Jasper satisfied himself with a kiss on Alyssaâs lips and tucked her into bed. He then left the room.
Rosie was asleep when Jasper went to stay with Alyssa. When Rosie heard about their safe return, she cried tears of joy.
