Jeremy tried to regain his balance after he was pushed and he saw the little figure falling on the floor. He balanced himself and saw the little figure kneeling the tiger was in an attack stance.

Oh, No!

Jerlina was not willing to die.

"No, Khan!

" She shouted and crossed her forearms to cover her face. She shut her eyes tightly as if that would have her.

Her voice was loud and clear and that was followed by Wyatt's authoritative command.

"Khan, stay.

"

Just a second after Jerlina felt something warm and soft hugging her and she opened her eyes to see little Benny hugging her.

She felt a strong pull from behind her and a lot of shouts. Thankfully she didn't hear any weapon going off.

She saw the distance between the tiger and her increasing and the big cat getting pulled back by Wyatt.

She didn't know how it happened but the tiger looked calmer now.

"You okay, Jerlina?

" That familiar voice was shaking in terror and the next she felt was everything around her blackening as she was surrounded by like ten people.

Jeremy helped her up and not minding the boy who was in her arms, hugged her close.

He was shaking.

"I'm okay, Joel,

" she patted his back and squeezed him closer. She was scared but seeing his worry she forgot about her fear.

The situation was escalating. Bobby got in between and negotiated that they continue their talks at a later date in a preferably neutral place.

Wyatt agreed easily. Jerlina couldn't understand Wyatt's look as he got Benny from her hands. He opened it to say something but then didnt.

-----

"I apologize for not protecting you today,

" Jeremy said holding her hand as they traveled back to their home.

Jerlina let out a sigh. She thought she'd be admonished for directly engaging with an animal but this guy was sulking the whole way back.

"Well, you were with me the whole time. And I'm safe, aren't I?

" She looked at him.

It's not like he ran away abandoning her.

"No thanks to me...

" He mumbled and Jerlina shook her head hearing it.

He was very sad and she didn't like to see him that way. In silence, they reached their home.

"Come on, we are going on a date,

" she barged into his room.

She heard the sound of the shower running and walked into his closet and picked him a blazer and shirt to wear for their date.

She didn't even think that he would refuse to go on a date with her.

She waited for him to come out sitting on his bed. But then her back hurt a bit and she decided to lie down a bit.

The moment her back hit the bed, she was assailed by a pleasant fragrance of pine. She felt tingly all over her as she felt like she was touched everywhere by Jeremy.

Hugging herself, she turned to her side. It was the same sheet she saw a while ago.

She didn't think that Jeremy doesn't change his sheets as often as her.

He changes... Maybe once a week?

She buried her nose in the sheet and took a deep whiff.

Ahhh... His scent... Incredible.

She couldn't get much of it and thought she might go crazy. Rolling to lie on her back, she spread her hands over the bed and closed her eyes as her legs dangled down.

Jeremy, after his shower, came out with a towel wrapped around his waist. His wife now places a set of clean towels in the bathroom for him to use.

He looked in the mirror and ran his fingers through his hair dripping wet. He checked his beard. He decided to let his hair dry on its own.

He still doesn't know where his towels are.

When he came to the bedroom he was stunned as he noticed an odd thing on his bed.

There was a pale blue shirt and a blazer spread on the bed. And more than that what made his heart warm was the figure fast asleep on his bed. With her arms spread out, she looked so carefree.

Well, she's a little careless to be this carefree in his room.

She was wearing jeans and a white top which were odd since she doesn't wear jeans often. She prefers wearing skirts and dresses.

And is she wearing makeup?

Jeremy walked closer and he almost tripped on her legs. He noticed the black strapped heels she was wearing and he gulped.

Those toes and the curves on her feet...

Sexy!

He looked closer and the top got pulled up and her belly button was peeking out. It was T-shaped and his adam's apple bobbed and his throat went dry seeing that little piece of delicacy peeking out.

"Hey,

" he whispered, resting his hands on both sides of her belly.

There were no movements from her. His eyes kept on ending up at that cute little belly button.

Ah, screw it!

Jerlina felt a weird sensation in her belly. The upper part of her belly felt wet, but she felt some warm and slimy thing on her naval, sucking and nibbling.

It felt... good.

Her fingers grabbed onto the sheets and her toes curled. She could hear the slight slurping sound.

It can't be...

She suddenly realized what was happening to her and opened her eyes.

Her belly was wet from the water dripping from Jeremy's hair and...

Is this guy kissing my naval?

"Joel, what...

"

Before she could speak, her lips were covered by his lips. As he kissed, his hands trailed over her and he pulled up her legs and positioned himself between her legs.

His hand pressed the top of her head and his kisses became deeper.

Jerlina had no way to refuse. She had no reason to refuse him. She was in no mood to refuse him.

"Your makeup is ruined...

" Jeremy giggled and kissed the tip of her nose.

He knew she's still on her periods and he can't go the

"further

" he wants to go.

"Yeah?

" Jerlina licked her lips with a coy smile and Jeremy grunted.

"You're killing me, woman...

"

His lips crashed over hers once more.
