Alighting the buggy, Linus saw Krystle trying to wear her shoes again. The greenroom was just a few steps ahead and it wasn't worth it to tie up those shoes for such a short distance.

He argued with her while he turned around patting his shoulder, "You don't even know my brother well."

Understanding Linus's actions, Krystle grinned like a naive little girl. She didn't turn him down. Hopping on his back, she wrapped her limbs around him for a piggyback ride. She silently giggled to herself enjoying her ride.

Krystle's assistant quickly grabbed Krystle's boots and followed them.

Krystle continued her argument, "There is nothing to know about him but money. My girl is a sweetheart."

Linus's lips twitched. The hothead wasn't ready to believe him at all. He agrees his brother is cold, domineering, indifferent, sometimes arrogant, and also has a bad temper but Linus never felt Alvin was evil.

Alvin never did anything to cause harm to Hotheaded or Anya so Linus wasn't sure how to make her believe that she had a wrong opinion of Alvin.

Well, he was bothered about her opinion because she was Anya's best friend, and her opinion matters to Anya.

"You don't even know the length my bro goes for your sweetheart."

"Ohh what is that? Starting a business here!?" Krystle scoffed. "Ohhh… Is it hiding in the library to help Annie?"

Linus was annoyed by the comment. He wished he could drop her to the ground once. He sneered, "He started from zero because of your friend." In his view, Anya doesn't deserve Alvin who gave up everything for her.

Krystle was stunned for a moment. Hearing it from Linus, she was determined to know the past for her friend. But the place wasn't right.

She signaled her assistant to keep the boots and leave the green room when they entered inside. She snorted, "You have no idea what my Annie could do." She completed her words in her mind, 'For that jerk.'

Linus left her on the sofa and saw her cross arms grumpily, trying to look proud.

The air returned to boisterous seeing her act like a cranky child. "She could certainly make my brother forget all his work for her."

He was leaving the green room to let her change, when Krystle grabbed his shirt, pulled him back to her.

The assistant, Lily, who kept the boots in the room, saw Linus pinning Krystle on the couch… No, her boss pulled the man close to her. Lily could feel the air change and swallow hard. She craved a tub of popcorn, her legs were refusing to move while watching the beautiful couple. She would have loved to watch but she scurried out and closed the door behind her.

Krystle squinted her eyes at the man, "Aren't you too proud of your brother?" Her voice lowered as their proximity increased. Her eyes were tempting to leave his eyes.

Linus was already acquainted with this high-flying girl. He expected her to be exhausted after a day-long shoot. Pressing his palms on the couch on either side of her, he went close to her. She smelled of roses while the redness of her orbs burned like fire.

His playful voice turned huskier, "Aren't you the same for your friend?" Sometimes he doubted if they were sisters seeing how protective Krystle was.

Krystle hummed with a hint of disappointment, "Why do I feel their life is more exciting than mine?" Alvin left his home and built himself. Anya has a baby and a career filled with adventures. They had so many stories to tell.

Her eyes drooped when she could feel his breath on her skin, tempting her to kiss the man who was too good at it.

"Do they?" His lips brushed over her ruby lips. Though their start at the hotel or the Oasis mansion was terrible, he just loves their rapport when together, as if they have known each other for a long time.

Krystle caught his lips before he moved away by teasing her. Sucking his lower lip, her hand tugged him to get him closer. The first time she felt addicted to someone's kisses and she wasn't going to shy away from getting what she wanted.

Linus didn't give in, he teased her by breaking her rhythm. Yet she was capturing his lips harder than the previous time.

Krystle let out a frustrated groan at his cat and mouse game. She accepted the game to see how long he could resist her.

Her fingers dug in his hair while the other hand pulled him onto the couch. Straddling on his lap, she snickered triumphantly, showing him she wasn't a noob.

Well, Krystle gasped when he grabbed her head and pinned her on the couch in one swift move. His lips pressed on hers as if telling her who the master was.

She quivered when his tongue tugged her lips and sucked her lower lips into his mouth. She greedily matched his fierce kiss, letting him rob her breath.

The taste of bourbon from his mouth started an insatiable fire in her. Or was it their hands that were groping each other?

Flushed, Krystle gasped for air, just to let him assault her mouth again and… again. Drunk in the igniting pleasure, the little whimpers in the room and gasps continued to hum in the room

Krystle snapped out and shuddered when she felt his boner press on her leg. She gasped, breaking their fervent kiss. She mewled, panting for some air, "N-not here."

She needed to return the horse riding outfit to the clubhouse and her assistant was still waiting for her. She didn't want to make Lily wait unnecessarily when there was no other work.

Feeling her hands warm, she realized where her hands were. She pulled her hands away which were under his shirt. Enjoying his hot breath on her cheek, she knew he wanted her as much as her but she didn't want to hastily get it done. That would be more frustrating.

She felt her heart skip a beat when his lips pressed at the corner of her lips. Oh god, why did she like that?

She blinked repeatedly when he got up and fixed his clothes. She looked at herself, the horse riding suit wasn't even out of place due to its thick heavy design and material.

Linus couldn't believe she turned him on even wearing clothes top to toe, "I-" He thought to give her the privacy to let her change.

Krystle was a step ahead, "Why?" She stood up as she unbuttoned, "Couldn't restrain watching me change?" Her alluring voice tried to provoke him.

His lips curled to a tempting smirk. He went closer seeing her challenging gaze, "I am afraid..." He trailed off. "You couldn't focus on changing in my presence." he sounded too confident.

"As if." She scoffed. Linus was in good shape but she had seen better bodies. And he was in clothes. Why will she lose track? That's ridiculous.

Linus whispered in her ear, "Let's see." His lips brushed over her ear and ignited the spark back.

Standing in front of the mirror, Krystle dropped her coat, followed by the shirt occasionally glancing at Linus's reflection in the mirror.

She could feel his burning gaze trace down her curves when she dropped her pants. Standing in white undergarments, she felt her body turn hot in the cold.

Flustered to lose to him, she clumsily overturned the dress again and again, without focusing on which was the right side. Before she could tear it off or throw it away, her back stiffened.

She wanted to tell him, 'not in the green room' but her throat went dry watching him right behind her in the reflection.

His hands reached out to the sweater dress in her hands. Standing between his arms, she licked her lips uneasily watching his calm expression. She didn't stop in her tracks, rather she was lost in the track.

Biting her tongue, squeezing her eyes shut in embarrassment, she wore the dress when he helped her. His fingers she was expecting to glide over her didn't touch her even once.

Was she seduced without being touched?

'I was never this crazy.' She felt crazy at the influence he had on her.
