His Devious Rule

Being called a 'Big boy,' Alvin just wanted to tease her. He was expecting her to pull away and run back to her room, or bring her hands between their lips and widen her moonlike eyes, or do something to stop him.

The one who flipped him at just the touch of his hands to the one who hugged him on her will, she had come a long way. Although he had kissed her to prove he wasn't kidding with the marriage topic, he was willing to have patience and take one step at a time.

He didn't want her for just a day or two, for his whole life, so he was ready to wait indefinitely. Does just waiting work? No, so he will make her slowly get used to being around him. He knew the biggest advantage he had was her trust in him.

However, the brain and body are treacherous and greedy when it's attracted to that one person. The closer he went, the more he desired. He wanted her to stop him but her reaction was just the opposite, making him greedier for more.

His breathing hitched looking at her velvety flawless skin under the dim light. He had forgotten teasing her meant testing his self-control. As though he had too much restraint, her meek protest was like fuel to catch the spark. "Alvin…"

Alvin snapped out and realized they were too close. With her hands on his shoulder, she was completely at his mercy in his arms. Her silvery eyes moved rapidly but her gaze was fixed on his lips. She wasn't trying to get away but clueless about where to look and what to do with her hands.

Her luscious lips popped open to draw a breath, running his mind wilder than before. He was tempted to kiss those pulp, soft lips and taste the additive sweetness of her mouth. His Adam's apple bobbed struggling to keep his thoughts and composure straight while having her right in his arms.

Ean had told him over a video call that she didn't deserve his efforts, and she could be the beginning of his destruction. Looking at her petite face, Alvin didn't feel like he did anything for her. He was doing everything for himself, just to be close to her.

Destruction? It's a new start.

Alvin dipped his head and captured her soft petal-like lips. He skillfully nibbled and sucked on them while his hand moved up her spine, pressing her closer.

Anya was stiffened like a log. She caught the weird noises her throat was itching to create. Her heart was hammering against her chest, her fingers curled up into a ball.

She was overwhelmed with the delicious sensation of his kisses and clueless about what to do when her mind just refused to cooperate.

Alvin tilted his head and added more pressure on her lips, slowly surrendering her. Anya clutched his broad shoulders and responded to his kiss in return like a curious kitten.

Alvin snapped out when her lips sucked on his lips, he pulled her away from his arms. A groan in protest instantly slipped her lips without her knowledge.

Her eyes shot open at her reaction and looked at him standing in surprise. Before she could think of running away or burying herself in shame, he took a step dangerously close causing her to stumble back. "Alv…" He cupped her face, pushed her against the wall, and seized her lips fervently.

Shocked, Anya's hands tried to sneak between them. She moaned when his tongue pried open her lips and tugged her tongue, drawing her attention away.

He tasted like mint, sweet yet cool while his tongue burned in her mouth and his fingers were leaving a hot trail down her skin.

Their tongues rolled over and tangled. When she missed his cool tongue that explored her mouth, her fingers dug into his shoulders, yanking him close as if there was a space left to move. She wrestled against his sleek tongue for attention. But he was the master of the game, reducing her to a puddle of water in his arms.

She was completely breathless when he let go of her mouth. She drew breath in pants still reveling in the lingering cool effect on her tongue.

Letting her breath, his hot lips that left hers, trailed down to her jaws before she involuntarily quivered, "Alvin…" Her racing heart thundered in her chest.

His lips stopped at her jaws for a second. A glint flashed in his hooded eyes. Then his lips latched back on her swollen lips, erasing the moment of panic from her….

On Sunday,

Dennis and Catalina woke up in a good mood. They were finally going back to their home and nothing could measure that relief. One last time, they decided to take a walk on the beautiful lawn.

They were grateful for Alvin to help them by providing a place and food. However, they never wished to come back there again.

Stepping out of the main door, Dennis and Catalina halted when their eyes fell on the couple at the water fountain.

Dennis's intuition was getting stronger and stronger every time he saw his daughter with Alvin. It was like Alvin who was with everyone was entirely different from Alvin who is around his daughter. He would be a fool to think Alvin was just Anya's senior.

What's more!? Dennis knew Anya was letting Alvin get closer to her, willingly or unwittingly. That's the only reason Dennis was stopping himself from asking anything to Alvin.

Catalina unawarely smiled at her sight, as she went closer to Dennis and clutched his jacket. She had numerous times dreamed of her daughter having a man who loves her unconditionally. She had given up hope as Anya had a baby and she avoids being close to the opposite gender.

Now, looking at Alvin kneeling in front of Anya and putting on the knee guards for her, Catalina got her hope. "Denny…" Her soft voice had a hint of delight.

Dennis turned to his wife whose smile wavered. The small daydream she just imagined, came crumbling down when she realized the reality. She stammered, "W-we… T-them…" They were worlds apart.

Dennis wrapped his arm around his wife and gently rubbed her arm. He glanced at the two at the fountain. Alvin's back was facing them and his frame was covering Anya completely.

His brows tugged when he noticed Alvin's fingers repeatedly curling Anya's hair. A random thought arose in his mind. 'Zane was playing with her hair too.'

Dennis quickly shook off his wild thoughts. He took Catalina towards the backdoor of the mansion as the lawn was vast and spread out around the mansion. "Let's not jump to the conclusion." He convinced himself more than Catalina.

Catalina sighed. Her problem wasn't the lifestyle of rich people. She was afraid her daughter would be mocked, troubled, and looked down on by other members of the rich family. All she wanted was a happy, fulfilling life for her daughter.

Meanwhile, Krystle woke up early and freshen up in Anya's room. She returned to Linus's room to bid him but he dragged his sleepy body out of bed to see her off.

They had watched a movie halfway and dozed off in the in-house theater around one at midnight. Around half-past two, both had managed to get under the blankets in his room.

Linus couldn't believe he was hanging out with Hothead. So what were they? He seriously pondered.

"Like seriously?" Krystle snickered.

Linus snapped out of his thoughts and saw Krystle halt at the windows. Following her line of sight, he saw Anya in a roller skate and Alvin holding her hand and guiding her. His brother looks more and more like a human nowadays.

Krystle leaned to the window and looked at Linus, "See… My life is really boring compared to theirs."

Linus laughed hearing her. Alvin was helping Anya to skate, what is fun in that? He offered his hand to Krystle, "Ms. Lewis, let me help you walk."

Krystle lifted her chin and slid her hand to his palm, "Princess likes to be escorted out. You will be rewarded heavily."

The duo chuckled, anyway, they didn't leave their hands.

—————

On the other hand,

Anya didn't have any work on Sunday. She wanted to teach one of the pending activities on Zane's list. Hence she had bought two roller skates, one for her and another for Zane. Before Zane would wake up, she wanted to try it on so she came out with roller skates, ditching the gym.

Alvin shortly appeared, right at the time, she lost her balance while standing up from the ground. He silently put on the knee and elbow guards, held her hand, and guided her to learn balancing on the inline roller skate after knowing she brought skates to teach Zane.

Anya was so immersed in his care and attentiveness that she followed his instruction until her eyes fell on the car that drove up to the door and Krystle and Linus walked out of the door.

"Annie…" Krystle called out loudly while waving her hand.

"I will just come," Anya said to Alvin and gilded her right leg roller skate on her ground. She easily and proficiently skated away from Alvin in a blink of an eye.

Alvin looked at his hand which was supporting Anya and then glanced at Anya on wheels.

Did he make a fool of himself?

Linus pointed at Anya and burst into laughter. He understood why Krystle said her life was boring. Despite knowing how to skate, Anya was letting Alvin teach her.

Krystle hugged her friend and asked, "Why was he teaching you?" There were numerous things Anya was learning for her job.

Anya stuck her tongue out and looked at Alvin who was glaring at her. Krystle chuckled, shaking her head. She whispered her question, "Did you tell him?

The mischievous grin on Anya's face faltered recalling the night. 'Does kissing back count?' She thought without voicing the question.

Krystle brushed her finger over Anya's cheek. Evil laughter suddenly sounded in the silence snapping Anya out of other thoughts. "Hehehe somebody is blushing."

Anya: "…"

Linus's ear perked. He tried to overhear them while pretending to be unheard.

Anya lied, patting her cheeks, "It's cold." But she stole her gaze away.

"Lie Lie Lie…" Krystle yammered as she got in the car, "I want all the juicy details."

'Juicy!?' Linus controlled his expression with all his might. He wanted to celebrate that his decision to reveal the past to Krystle worked out as he hoped.

Anya: "…"

She wanted to say there was nothing as they were thinking but stopped herself seeing Linus pretending to be unheard.

The car left soon, Linus pointed inside the mansion and said, "I will get going, Sister-in-law." He went inside leaving her speechless.

Anya: 😶
