Chapter 56<\/p>\n
Larissa stared at the glowing screen in front of her and quickly typed back.<\/p>\n
[Big hugs! And just so you know, once we\u2019re married, if anyone even thinks about messing with my husband, I\u2019ll make sure they regret it!]<\/p>\n
Haskell chuckled heartily on the other end. That sounded about right. A woman like Larissa would never tolerate anyone crossing her or her loved ones.<\/p>\n
[Very well then. I\u2019m counting on you, my dear wife.]<\/p>\n
Larissa seized the chance to tease him a little.<\/p>\n
[Don\u2019t worry, hubby. I\u2019ll take excellent care of you. But in return, I expect you to keep serving me with those good looks of yours.]<\/p>\n
After their playful exchange, Larissa reached out to Nightveil.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoss, how are things looking with the Judson family right now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cQuite intriguing. Nightveil, I want a full report on their current business operations. Find out who\u2019s running what and how well each venture is doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cConsider it done.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Larissa found herself lying atop Haskell, her fingers gliding over the sculpted planes of his abdomen. Her hand traced from his chest down to his stomach, each gentle touch causing a subtle shiver to ripple through his body.<\/p>\n
The handsome man exhaled softly, his eyes glowing with desire as he looked at her with tender affection. \u201cIf you like them so much, Larissa, feel free to touch them as often as you want.\u201d<\/p>\n
A mischievous grin curled on Larissa\u2019s lips. \u201cOh, I definitely like them. I plan to touch them every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n
His voice dropped to a husky whisper, thick with indulgence. \u201cThen go ahead. My entire body is yours to explore, wherever you please.\u201d<\/p>\n
Larissa blinked, amused. \u201cYou\u2019re such a good boy, Haskell.\u201d<\/p>\n
His gaze darkened with something deeper. He raised his head and murmured close to her ear, \u201cSince I\u2019m being this good, don\u2019t you think I deserve a reward?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course\u2026\u201d she whispered back, leaning in to brush her lips against the smooth skin of his neck before nibbling softly.<\/p>\n
His breath hitched, growing uneven as he pulled her closer, as if trying to meld their bodies into one.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, a tickling sensation on her cheek made her open her eyes reluctantly. There were Shadow, Snowy, and Sage, the three little snakes, pressing their heads gently against her face.<\/p>\n
Larissa sighed, disappointed. Just as the dream was getting good.<\/p>\n
It was 15:16.<\/p>\n
She yawned, gently pushing their heads away.<\/p>\n
Noticing she was awake, the snakes wriggled excitedly, their movements clearly asking for breakfast.<\/p>\n
Though reluctant to leave the warmth of her dream, Larissa climbed out of bed and headed to the cabinet to fetch their food. To her dismay, the jar of freeze-dried spiders was nearly empty.<\/p>\n
Pouring the last few spiders onto her desk, she scooped up the snakes. \u201cHere you go. I promise I\u2019ll take you all out to an all-you-can-eat buffet tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
The three snakes eagerly nodded and began munching happily on the spiders.<\/p>\n
Larissa pulled up a chair, resting her chin on her hand as she watched them eat, her mind still lingering on the dream she\u2019d just lost. She closed her eyes, hoping to catch the fading threads of the vision.<\/p>\n
But it was no use.<\/p>\n
Opening her eyes, she sighed and let go of the thought. After all, once she and Haskell were married, she could do whatever she wanted with him.<\/p>\n
Later that morning, Larissa sat enjoying breakfast with her wonderful new parents when Jett appeared.<\/p>\n
\u201cSir, Madam, Mr. Kiernan requests Miss Larissa to come to the main hall shortly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Neville frowned slightly. \u201cWhat\u2019s this about?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt concerns the marriage alliance between the Judson and Palmer families,\u201d Jett replied.<\/p>\n
Larissa raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued.<\/p>\n
