Chapter 170: Be My Guest

As soon as Rain finished getting ready for the day, she quickly checked on her Aunt Melanie in the other room.

She smiled when she saw her aunt was already awake and properly dressed. "My clothes fit you perfectly, Aunt Melanie!" Rain exclaimed, her eyes scanning her from head to toe with satisfaction.

"You look great!" she added. Excitedly, she grabbed her aunt’s arm and led her downstairs for breakfast.

"Where’s your husband?" Aunt Melanie asked, a teasing glint in her eye. Rain felt her face redden as she replied, "Well, he’s still getting ready."

Rain had been the first to use the bathroom, and Alexander followed shortly after. Honestly, there were two shower areas, so they could have used them at the same time, but the thought of doing so still embarrassed her.

After everything that had happened, even after giving him a handjob, a wave of shyness still washed over her for some time.

"I’m so glad to see you and Alexander are getting along so well despite how things began. It’s clear that everything is falling into place smoothly. I’m truly happy for you, Rain," Aunt Melanie said, her voice filled with warmth.

Rain smiled, her excitement bubbling up. "Ah, later... I’ll try to come home early, and we can go to some places you’d love to see!" she burst out eagerly.

Her aunt chuckled. "Touring the Lancaster Estate should be more than enough. I’m sure they have plenty of facilities to keep me occupied, so don’t worry about me, alright?"

Rain grinned. "Well, that’s true! Even though I haven’t explored the whole estate yet, I’m sure Father-in-law and Uncle Ben will make sure you’re well entertained while I’m gone."

Inside the dining area, everyone was already seated. Rain smiled as Butler Ben quickly stood up, pulling a chair for her Aunt Melanie. "Here you go, Miss Melanie," he hummed, his voice warm and polite.

Rain couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly at the look on William’s face, which was priceless—he stared at Butler Ben in disbelief, his expression somewhere between amused and bewildered.

"Oh, by the way, please meet my youngest son, William," Father Rock chimed in. "He was outside when you arrived, so he missed the introductions."

"Nice to meet you, Aunt Melanie," William greeted, his tone playful. "Feel free to make yourself at home."

Melanie smiled at him and timidly replied, "Thank you."

Then she turned and thanked Ben for pulling out the chair before sitting down. Butler Ben even seated himself beside her, making it clear that he was more than happy to be in her company.

Rain was enjoying the whole scene. Butler Ben wasn’t wasting any time expressing his admiration for Aunt Melanie, and it was hard to miss.

Just as things were settling down, Alexander’s serious voice cut through the air. "Why are you still here? Shouldn’t you be heading back to work?" he directed sharply at William as soon as he entered.

William scratched his head, mumbling, "But I’m getting married soon."

"What?!" Rain burst out, genuinely surprised. She couldn’t believe William would use getting married as an excuse to avoid going back to work. Did he really dislike the office that much?

Alexander, on the other hand, remained calm. "Alright, when is it happening? We’ll make arrangements and bring your fiancee here soon so we can meet her," he commented plainly, taking his seat beside Rain.

Before things could get any more awkward, Father Rock stepped in, trying to ease the tension. "Let’s stop this and eat breakfast first. We have a guest, and it’s not proper for the two of you to bicker over such trivial matters."

Rain noticed a subtle exchange of knowing glances between William and her father-in-law. Something felt off, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

As soon as breakfast was finished, Rain and Alexander bid farewell, both heading off to work. They slid into the back seat of the car, this time with Alexander not driving. Surprisingly, the moment he settled in beside her, he reached for her hand and held it firmly.

Rain’s eyes widened when Alexander pressed a button that made the transparent window separating the front seats from their rear compartment turn opaque. She blinked rapidly, turning to look at him in confusion.

He responded with a roguish grin, his voice low and teasing. "For privacy," he said shamelessly, leaving Rain to wonder what he had in mind. Before she could even process it, Alexander pulled her close, manoeuvring her onto his lap. His strong arms wrapped around her, holding her snugly.

"What are you doing?" she gasped, her breath catching as she felt the sudden shift. Being this close to him sent her heart racing, and she felt like the air had been knocked out of her lungs.

"Just holding you," he murmured, his voice rumbling in her ear as he pressed his chin against her shoulder. His embrace was firm yet tender, and she could feel his warmth seeping through her clothes.

Rain tried to protest, half-heartedly pushing against his chest. "We’re on our way to work," she reminded him, though her voice lacked conviction.

He chuckled softly, not loosening his grip. "I know. But I just wanted to be close to you, even for a little while. We barely have any time together."

Despite her initial shock, Rain felt herself relax into his embrace, the tension in her shoulders easing. There was something comforting about the way he held her, and though they were in a car on their way to work, it felt like their own private world.

"This is a bit embarrassing," Rain murmured with a pout, though she made no move to get up from Alexander’s lap.

"No, it’s not... It feels just right," he replied smoothly, pressing a soft kiss on her shoulder.

Rain sighed, finding herself relaxing even more, but the peaceful moment was soon interrupted when Alexander began peppering her with kisses, his lips trailing up her neck. She froze when she felt his tongue graze her skin, her eyes widening in realization.

Immediately, she pushed him gently, giving him a playful but stern glare. "No hickeys!"

Alexander chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he hummed. "But my hickeys look good on you."

"No!" she protested, exasperation clear in her voice. "For goodness’ sake, I can’t breathe wearing turtlenecks all the time!" She crossed her arms, her pout deepening. "How many days has it been since I’ve had to wear the same style? Turtlenecks in this weather aren’t exactly comfortable, you know."

Alexander leaned back, laughing at her frustration. "Well, I happen to think you look amazing in them."

"Maybe," she huffed, "but it’s not winter, and I’m not trying to start a new fashion trend of hiding my neck!"

He smirked, clearly enjoying her flustered state. "Fine, fine, no more hickeys—for now."

Rain rolled her eyes, but a playful smile tugged at her lips. An idea sparked in her mind as she stared at Alexander. "How about I do the same thing to you," she challenged, her tone teasing. "Then you’ll see how embarrassing it really is!"

To her surprise, Alexander didn’t hesitate. He loosened his tie, unbuttoned his shirt, and tilted his head to the side, exposing his neck. With a mischievous glint in his eyes, he hummed, "Be my guest."
