He glanced at her and stripped off his shirt. His strong upper body was exposed to her. The beautiful muscles, broad back, and strong waist, like a quiet wild panther, were enough to make every woman blush. And when recollecting the feeling in his arms, Emerald felt her throat was a little bit dry. But he did not notice that and carried on to strip off all his clothes and took her to the bathroom. Patrick was very careful in bathing Emerald, for her wound should be kept clear from the water. And to Emerald’s surprise, Patrick, who was used to gun shooting, was skilled in such delicate work. He tied her wounded leg on the towel rack with bandages and held her to sink into the water. Since the military doctor informed Patrick of Emerald’s weakness, he didn’t touch her these days, not even let her give him a hand job. But now they were both soaked in hot water, and their bodies were close together, and they could feel each other’s passion even without a word. His lips and tongues began to linger on her skin. After the short shower, Emerald almost couldn’t stand upright. She held his neck in the blushed face. Although he did not get relieved, he still felt proud of making her addicted to his charm. He kissed heavily on her lips and then got her dressed up. “Are you going?” She was surprised. He nodded, “those guys asked me to have dinner.” He meant the other captains. Emerald looked at her wounded leg. “I’ll stay here.” He dressed himself up and carried her outside as if he didn’t hear her words, “It’s the same.” When sitting in the car again, she asked confusedly in his arms, “what’s the same?” He stared at her gorgeous face with a little makeup, her snowy skin in the green skirt, and her shining and jade-like eyes.He grabbed her slim arm and kissed it,” it is the same if I carry you all the time.” Emerald did not expect that the place to which Patrick took her was the bar where they had a reunion the last time. The car went directly from the side door into the backyard. Steps after, Patrick held Emerald into the bar, and they saw the biggest semi-enclosed box on the bar’s first floor. However, the bead curtain door was almost useless, and the music made the atmosphere lazy. The captains had already arrived, and a woman accompanied each on their side, but Harrison did not show up. A charming young girl with a hot body and delicate face sat beside Bruce. Bruce held her waist and smiled at her, “this is my boss.” The girl saw Patrick, and amazement surfaced in her eyes. But she was a little surprised at seeing Emerald, who Patrick held in his arms. But Bruce did not say anything and just let her pour the wine.The other two captains were not very young. The women beside them were both more than 35 years old. They were not very beautiful, but they all looked at Emerald warmly. “Emerald, you should call them your sister-in-law.” Patrick let Emerald stand beside him and urge her. After the introduction, Emerald greeted them and knew they were the two captains’ wives. After the introduction, they found that the women brought by the other five captains were all their wives, except that Bruce and another young captain brought their girlfriends. Emerald was actually happy that men came to such a place for fun, but Patrick and his subordinates came here with their wives, which showed their respect. Perhaps it was the reason why Patrick insisted on bringing her. Upon the thought that he always took part in such an occasion on his own, compared with others having company, Emerald thought she could feel his pride and...loneliness. Emerald leaned on his shoulder. Patrick was still talking with others, but his hand, which put on her thigh originally, held hers more firmly. The men talked about the war, which had just ended; the women talked about clothes, jewelry, and children. Although she got on well with them, she was often listening to them instead of joining their conversation. Later she became interested in the anecdotes in the army. Soon it was late at ten o’clock at night. The bar was crowded, and the music changed from the soft to the exciting one. A crazy and unrestrained atmosphere spread around the bar like a virus. The dim light made everyone’s face look lazy and enchanted. The mercenary was also deep into the atmosphere. The captains held their wives, either smiling and joking or looking at each other softly, and walked into the dancing floor. Bruce and his girlfriend also stood up. His girlfriend looked at Patrick and Emerald, who sat still and asked, “Don’t you want to dance?” Bruce carried her by her waist, “leave them alone!” The girl screamed and held his head. They kissed and walked on the dancing floor. The captains didn’t need to pretend to be polite with Patrick. They didn’t care that only Patrick and Emerald were left. “Don’t you want to go?” Emerald asked Patrick, who was expressionless. Actually, she would not mind if he danced with other women. And there were safeguards around the bar, so it was safe for her to stay alone here. “I’m not interested.” He said without hesitation and carried on drinking. Emerald did not insist. She looked at the brilliant and gorgeous dancing floor with her chin resting on her hand and thought there were so many handsome men and beautiful women...“May I dance with you?” A sudden soft voice interrupted the silence between them. Emerald looked up and saw a tall woman standing beside the table. Her appearance attracted Emerald. It was a beautiful woman, not for her face but her temperament. Although her face was definitely charming, her temperament was so special and could attract others’ attention. Her face and her moves were so naturally relaxing and languorous. The woman’s sight rested on Patrick silently and provocatively. There was no doubt that she felt confident in herself and interested in Patrick. And she never looked at Emerald, although she was sitting close to Patrick. In fact, Emerald never doubted that there would be women who paid attention to Patrick even if he sat in the corner. But she never thought that someone would ask him to dance with her sitting beside her. “Not interested.” Patrick just glanced at her.The woman seemed a little surprised and then glanced at Emerald, from face to body and her leg bound by bandages. Finally, she smiled, “what the...”
