She gritted her teeth, her voice filled with stubborn defiance. "Skipping it just this once won't kill you!" His voice was low and coaxing as he murmured, "Relax, spread your legs. Once I'm finished, I promise you can sleep." With that, his hands started to roam gently.
Elyse parted her lips to protest, but before she could utter a single word, Jayden silenced her with a deep, possessive kiss. His lips pressed firmly against hers, leaving no room for argument, his intentions unmistakable.

Elyse frowned, deep in thought. "So, he fainted from sheer shock? But what could've rattled him that badly?" A beat of silence passed.

"Did Tracy shock Shaun so badly that he passed out? And did they meet?" Jayden shook his head. "I'm not sure yet. My team just started investigating, so it'll take stto get answers. But if Tracy's involved... Alas, what a rocky relationship."
Elyse's expression was a mix of concern and curiosity. "No one knows how this will turn out for them." m
Jayden leaned back. "We can't predict the future, so there's no point worrying too much 'll send more people to investigate and tighten Shaun's security. At least until we get home, we can't afford another night without knowing where he is."
