Chapter 78 - Slowly But Surely (1/2)

”Are you alright?” Xander asked as soon as Yera entered his office. Yera nodded and sat directly at Xander's couch and rested the back of her neck at the headrest of the couch while she closed her eyes. She took time inside the police station because they needed to calm Jam first. Jam did not stop calling her Yera even inside the police station. She kept on shouting and insisting she was Yera like a maniac. She was too hysterical that she had to receive a shot from the doctor to calm her cousin.

”Liam said you did not pursue in pressing charges,” Xander commented. He would want that Jam to rot for at least a month or more in jail for trying to attack his wife verbally.

”She was shocked. It's normal for her to go crazy like that. She's obsessed to Lyndon since we were young. She finally have him but then I showed up. I'm supposed to be dead…” Yera muttured with her exhausted voice.

Xander looked at Yera intently. Her eyes were still closed as if she was relaxing herself.

Xander actually waited outside the police station, inside his car. He felt anxious as he waited until Liam, his Attorney, confirmed that Yera was fine.

”That Jam, she's your cousin right? I'm sure they will soon check on you,” Xander commented as he walked to his wife. He stood at Yera's back and put his hands at the sides of Yera's head and gently massaged it.

”Uhuh…” Yera answered. She felt Xander's soft hands doing wonders in her head that Yera suddenly felt relaxed. He was giving her a head massage and it felt so good that she unconsciously bit her lip with her eyes still closed.

Xander paused seeing Yera's expression then followed was a silent curse because his mind was running wild because of her facial expression that looked sensual in his eyes. He could feel his little buddy awakened.

'What's with you she was only biting her lip so why are you awake? Go back to sleep!' he scolded as he stared at Yera's lips. But he could not fight the urge to bend his head down and took those lips of hers wholly.

Yera opened her eyes and she could see Xander's neck. He was kissing her while he stood at the back of the couch. She ended up grabbing Xander's hair as she answered his intense kiss.

”Hmm… You'll hurt your back and neck if you'll continue like this.” Yera murmured in between kisses.

”Can you call me darling too when we are the only one around?” Xander answered while he did not stop in sucking her lower and upper lips alternately while he was still at uncomfortable position. Yera frowned because Xander mentioned it out of nowhere.

”Huh?” she murmured but she never let go of Xander's hair as well.

”I said call me Darling if you don't want me to get head and back ache for not stopping.,” Xander murmured. Yera contemplated because kissing like this was actually felt good as she continued to answered Xander's lips with the same passion but she was worried about his uncomfortable posture.

After a few more seconds Yera murmured, ”Darling, stop and sit beside me.”

Xander immediately obeyed and sat beside Yera who rested her head on his shoulder. Then he heard her spoke, ”Jam is not my real cousin by blood. Uncle adopted her…”

Jam and her father were one of the prime suspects she was thinking responsible for everything. However, she needed solid proof.

Xander listened well to his wife as Yera narrated about her family and her relationship with Jam. He smiled broadly, some would think he was slow in making progress on his relationship with Yera but for him he was in the right pace called, 'slowly but surely'.
