Emerald wasn’t worried about the security because a team of mercenaries was stationed nearby, and they monitored the house. Mary opened the door and asked. “Eh, they come again?” Emerald’s heart almost stopped. She stood up and walked to the door. The same young military policeman who had driven her back at noon was standing at the door and said with an apologetic smile. “Mrs., the Commander just arrived home and told me to pick you up.” Emerald was speechless. After a brief silence, she whispered something to Mary before stepping into the car to go back. It was almost 11 o’clock when they arrived. Patrick was in bed reading a book when Emerald walked into the bedroom. To her amusement, he put down the book immediately when he saw her. He seemed peaceful and focused compared to his usual coldness. He looked like a handsome, young man with bright black eyes, not like the powerful boss of the mercenaries. “What’s the matter?” She casually asked him. Patrick didn’t answer but stared at her for a while, smiling. “Come here.” He said in a low voice. After she walked to him, he pulled her towards him, making her stand between his legs before he skillfully pulled off her long dress and put her on his thigh. “Again?” Emerald was surprised. “You don’t want to?” Patrick turned around and pressed her on the bed. After kissing her heavily, he got up and touched her thigh. “Spread your legs.” Emerald kept silent. She couldn’t bear this anymore. She kicked brutally in his stomach. She knew she shouldn’t do this, she wasn’t strong enough to fight against him. Although he forced her to have sex with him, she didn’t understand why he was suddenly so unrestrained, given that he seemed to have no desire before. He easily grabbed her leg and looked at her grimly. She continued to struggle, but he clasped her ankle with one hand and said, “I’ll twist off your ankle if you move again.” Emerald didn’t dare to move. He didn’t let go of her but took out a tube of ointment and squeezed some on his finger. He lowered his head and started to apply for the medicine on her private parts, saying calmly. “Harvey said that this would soothe the swollen part.” Emerald blushed. She immediately felt cool and comfortable after the ointment was applied. His long finger was inside her, rubbing the ointment on the inner lining as Emerald breathed in comfort. After applying for the medicine, he laid down on top of her. Looking in her eyes, he asked in a low, dangerous voice. “Did you just kick me?” Emerald didn’t respond. He kissed her heavily, hands caressing her body, making Emerald breathless. Instead of touching her sexually, he put his arms around her when she blushed and whispered in her ear. “Don’t be naughty.” She leaned against him, with his lower body up against her hip, making her uncomfortable. Finally, Patrick’s breath became more stable, while Emerald was staring silently at the dark night outside the window, her eyes open. Patrick noticed her distraction, and he suddenly said. “Why aren’t you willing to be with me if you didn’t fall in love with that robot man?” Emerald was shocked to know that he expected her to be with him wholeheartedly. He had looked so thoughtful before. But if she told him the truth, she would lose everything. She slowly calmed herself down before she responded with a question. “Then why do you have to keep me by your side? I don’t think I’m very attractive enough to make you fall head over heels for me.” Patrick was silent this time, with only his big hand gently sliding along her soft waist. After a while, he said calmly. “Kitten, it’s not good for a woman to be too calm.” So he really did have some other motives, just like she suspected? Emerald smiled in silence. Her heart was full of complicated feelings, overwhelmed with sadness and helplessness. Why did he have to keep her by his side? But he stopped talking. Emerald was woken up by Patrick early the next morning, who whispered in her ear. “I still have work to do this morning.” He kissed her softly with his fingers pinching her face. Emerald was still sleepy and felt herself getting wet after he kissed her this way. After checking that her swollen part was alright now, he firmly entered her. He finally let her go after making love to her for over half an hour. He seemed more silent and serious than usual, but he also seemed relaxed and satisfied. “Stay here.” He ordered before he left. That afternoon, Emerald’s luggage was all moved into the city. Emerald stayed in Patrick’s Mansion from thereon. He didn’t have sex with her every night, but he would hold her in his arms to sleep, no matter how late he came home. Emerald thought that she would feel uncomfortable, but to her surprise, she started to like that feeling after a while. She even got used to falling asleep in the warm, firm arms of a man. “I want to go out to do tasks.” Patrick was still inside her after passionately making love to her, meaning that he was most relaxed. He looked at her slender hand touching his chest and asked calmly. “Why?”Even though Emerald was exhausted, she explained to him now while he was relaxed and in a good mood. “Because I feel so bored. I have been here for a month, and I have been to every place in Freedom City. It is really boring.” Patrick never stayed during the day, and Emerald had nobody to talk to. Being kept in a big house was not her thing at all. She really missed the days when she could fly with the Cheetah freely in the sky. It was common knowledge that men were weak-willed right after sex, so it was the best time to ask for something. But what she thought was wrong. Patrick seemed to be dizzy, but he answered coldly. “Okay, on the condition that you can satisfy me whenever I want.” “Whenever?” Emerald thought that both her body and her mind were being oppressed heavily by him. “Yeah.” He turned over with her, preventing her from moving in his arms. “I want to see you every night when I come back.” He didn’t want her to be touched by any other man, just like last time when she almost had been raped by a robot.
