Chapter 284 The Storm

In the dining hall, the Oasis mansion,

Although Father Lewis wasn't happy with Krystle's choice of man, he cooled down after speaking with Linus. Considering Linus was from the Collins family, he decided to stay low and see how long Linus and Krystle could stick together in their relationship.

He honestly didn't have much expectation from them. Because Krystle grew up very pampered by the whole Lewis family and her mother's family. She got everything she wanted, including the utmost attention from her parents, brother, cousins, and relatives.

Now that Linus will get busy with his new start-up and NGO, he won't have time. Krystle will have to adjust too much. If they could make it successfully in their relationship, Father Lewis was ready to accept Linus even if his business fails. He just hoped his daughter wouldn't be heartbroken.

Whereas Mother Lewis didn't have many demands. She was satisfied seeing Krystle's happiness and how Linus took care of her anger. About the work and income, she thought to get Linus to Lewis hotels if his start-up fails and Alvin's business doesn't have space.

Alvin was in the head seat, to his left Linus, Father Lewis, and Mother Lewis. Mother Lewis had dinner watching Anya and Alvin.

Her worry about Krystle was shifted to Anya. She had seen Anya as the most sensible, courteous, and sweet girl. She treated Anya like a daughter, sometimes she believed Anya more than Krystle. However, she was indeed revolted when she got to know Anya was pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy.

Although she hadn't voiced anything, probably Anya sensed their emotions, Anya avoided them and never shared her problems with them or Krystle. That had made Mother Lewis very guilty.

Over time she again got along with Anya and Zane but there was always an invisible wall, Anya didn't let them cross or she crossed it.

Yet, Mother Lewis was worried about her as Alvin was known for his arrogance, dominance, and calculative.

After dinner, Mother Lewis took Anya aside and asked, "Anya, is Alvin Matthews taking care of you and Zane?"

Anya didn't see any enviousness but worry. She was glad they weren't comparing Linus and Alvin. She faintly, patting Mother's Lewis hand, "Rest assured, Aunt Lewis, he takes care of us really well."

Mother Lewis nodded but shook her head and whispered, "Doesn't he have any problem with Zane? I am afraid the Matthews family will trouble you and Zane." She was genuinely concerned.

She won't be able to accept a lady with a baby for her son. So she knew the Matthews family would be more difficult to handle.

Anya controlled her urge to tell her about Zane and Alvin. She wanted to speak about it with her parents first. "Aunt Lewis, there is really nothing to worry about. His parents are aware of everything." Mother Lewis doesn't have to know the internal conflicts.

"That's… good." By the end of her words, both saw Earl hurriedly entering the mansion. He was out of the city when he got a call asking where Anya stayed in Hill Valley.

"Earl." Anya greeted him with a faint welcoming smile.

Earl glanced at his mother and Anya holding hands. He forced his mind to stop having any wishful thoughts. "Mom, Annie…"

He glanced inside and asked Anya, "How long did my parents take Linus's class?"

Mother Lewis was speechless. She tried to scold her son but bit back shooting a look of daggers.

Anya chuckled looking at them, "I can say it's calm now. Uncle might need time to accept. Aunt is happy."

Earl breathed a sigh of relief. He hoped for Krystle to get the man she loves.

As though reading his mind, Mother Lewis slapped his arm, "What is your age? Have you ever dated? Everyone is finding their love and you are single."

Earl wasn't in a mood to talk about it. He changed the topic, "Mom, Annie bought a new villa."

The conversation smoothly turned. After the talk of Anya's new villa, Krystle hid behind Anya refusing to go with her family. She lied as she wanted to be with Anya whereas everyone knew she wanted to be with Linus.

…

Linus got in the hot water tub and laid down with a long sigh. He really needed a relaxing bath.

He was kind of happy solving the parents' opposition. His mind was clear of one tension. Now he could focus on business and get a footing.

He felt water shake in the tub before Krystle's frame leaned into his arms. He was expecting her back but the voluptuous bosoms pressed on his chest, causing him to sigh in ecstasy. She kissed him and bit him before hugging him.

Even if he wanted to just bathe, with his hands on her curves, he could only focus on her body. "I am exhausted."

Krystle could guess that seeing him keeping his eyes shut. She hadn't thought one day she would be naked in a man's arms, yet he wouldn't see or take advantage.

"Let me help you." She whispered and sucked his ear until she could hear him groan at the sweet pain. She felt his body react even in exhaustion.

"Krystle…" Before he could stop her, her hand grabbed his member, and her long fingers wrapped around his girth and started moving.

His hand reached out to guide her hand while another one dug into her hair as he drew a sharp breath at the pain from her lips.

She sucked under his ear while her hand rubbed his length, making him twitch in the water. Leaving a few marks on his neck, she sat back and focused on pleasuring him.

Pulling the foreskin back to expose the head, her thumb gently pressed and caressed his sensitive head causing his body to jerk. "Oh, f**k…" His fingers dug in her waist, holding back his groan.

Hearing him curse and call her name in pleasure, Krystle swallowed hard, feeling herself wet between her legs.

Kissing her lips, sloppily, he exploded in the water, groaning and shuddering in pleasure.

Krystle sighed, leaving her held breath. Kissing his lips, "Don't worry about anything else. Focus on your work." Pecking on his lips, she went to the shower block. She hoped there won't be any pressure or trouble on him from her side.

N0 v el Next. CoM

Linus shook his head in resignation. If anybody knows Krystle too well, it was Anya and him. "Ms. Lewis, what about you?"

"I will take it back with interest." She thought to let him rest.

How could he let her be frustrated? He got out of the tub and pleasured her in the shower. Then continued on the bed, before both slept in exhaustion.

—–––––––

On the other side of the mansion,

Anya entered the study room and got the attention of the man who signaled her to get closer to him. He focused on his laptop until she came closer.

Anya gasped when he suddenly pulled her and placed her on his lap, with her back against the desk.

Alvin saw her breath out and relaxed her heart that almost leaped out of her chest. He brushed her freshly blow-dried hair away as he planted a soft kiss at the corner of her lips and earned a bewitching smile.

He had completed most of the urgent tasks, So he could be free after a few more minutes. He asked, caressing her silky hair between his fingers, "All done?"

Her face suddenly fell at his words. She responded to him while tugging his pullover, "I am moving out tomorrow." She grumbled in a low voice. She wanted to tell him first but everybody got to know him before him.

Alvin stopped playing with her hair. His indulgent gaze turned aloof as he watched her carefully. Why was she upset about it, instead of being excited?

Anya pouted, hearing no word from him or seeing no displeasure. She could have coaxed him saying he could go with her.

"There will be a small dinner party tomorrow. My colleagues, my parents, Earl, Krystie, and Linus will be there." He will have to host with her.

He again nodded in response without a word. He was thinking about the reason behind her uneasiness.

Anya snorted at his impassive reaction and tried to get up.

Alvin chuckled heartily at her struggles. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. "Ms. Owen, it's very easy to ask me to live with you." His seductive tone breathed at her ear.

He was just too close, making his simple words mean different things. Imagining doing naughty things in her new villa made her embarrassed in front of him. She stammered, "W-who wants to live with you?"

Alvin hid his smirk and shrugged innocently, "There is one who couldn't live without me." He stopped his arms from burying her in his embrace so that he could look at her grumpy yet flustered face.

Anya: "..."

When did she ever say that?

"Y-you are delusional." She huffed while her cheeks turned red in embarrassment.

"Oh…" His curt response disregarded her words. True, she didn't say that. So, "You don't love me!?" He mused.

Anya shook her head vigorously to deny it. "You are the one who loves me." She smugly said.

Alvin played along seeing her flustered to accept it. "And how do you know?"

Anya gave a quick thought, "Hmmm…. Your childish behavior and your patience towards me is like the feeling of… first love." Then her lips curled to a big O realizing they were each other's first love.

Alvin nodded in acceptance but countered, "Then what love could be stronger than the person who would be willing to give her life up to the other?"

Anya couldn't believe he kept her words in his mind and started digging her grave. "Go, find her, and get married."

Their silly arguments continued till they cuddled to sleep, without bothering about the storm they caused in the Matthews family.
