Mister Dream Man Chapter 97. After the Storm
* Jane Dankworth *When I woke from my deep sleep, I noticed that the storm hadn't stopped. The sound of rain was softer now, but steady, like a rhythm. And him.James sat near the window, with his back to me, the faint outline of his shoulders tense beneath his shirt. He hadn't slept, I could tell from last night. Even from here, I could feel the weight of his silence, the kind that pressed into the air until it hurt to breathe.For a while, I just watched him, his form. The man whom I thought had always kept a wall between himself and the world. The same man who had thrown himself between me and danger without hesitation. And last night, he had let me in but what about after?The memory came back in my mind like a wave, his lips, his hands, the way he'd whispered my name as if it was something sacred. Every touch had burned, every breath had felt like a promise he couldn't make but still did.But now, in the gray stillness of morning, everything was back to real again. I sat up slow
Mister Dream Man Chapter 96. Unexpected Romance
* James *Our quiet morning didn't last long, just like how I expected. It was when midmorning, when I stepped outside to check the vehicle, I noticed the sky beginning to gray again, a slow, heavy blanket of clouds rolling in from the sea. The air shifted too, carrying that thick, metallic scent that always came before another big storm.I muttered a series of explicit words under my breath and tried to start the engine. And not even a cough came out of it. I checked the hood, the wires fine, oil is steady, fuel low but enough for the ride. But the battery was just dead."Damn it," I hissed, slamming the hood down.From the doorway, Jane's voice floated out, soft but edged as she watched me. "What happened?""The car won't start," I said, trying not to let my irritation show. "Battery's dead. Must've drained from the cold last night.""So, what now?""We wait until it dries up enough outside. I'll check again or find a way to charge it manually, if it works."She crossed her arms, b
Mister Dream Man Chapter 95. Self Control
* James *A few hours have passed by and then it was dawn in the cabin. The storm had passed, leaving the air damp and heavy with the scent of wet earth and leaves of plants. Light filtered through the cabin's single window, pale and gold, touching everything it could reach, the rifle on the table, the folded map by the lamp, and her.Jane was still asleep against me when I realized I hadn't closed my eyes once, I was staying vigilant. I'd stayed awake through the night, half out of habit, half because I couldn't bring myself to move her.She was resting quietly now, the fear that had ruled her face last night replaced by something softer. A faint peace. Her head was still on my shoulder, her breath warm against my neck. I forced myself not to feel anything but it was hard. As hard as the thing that throbs in the middle of my thighs.It should've been comforting for her but for me it was torture. It was dangerous. It's the first time in my life I have been this close to a woman withou
Mister Dream Man Chapter 94. Vulnerable girl
*James *The storm outside keeps going. It crawled over the roof like waves after waves in a shore, the rain drumming against the wood and glass like it was trying to get inside the cabin. I'd seen nights like this before, too many to mention but never one that felt this quiet and dangerous at the same time, not because of enemies lurking outside, but because of a beautiful woman asleep on the couch just a few feet away from me.Jane had fallen asleep only an hour ago, but her breathing was uneven and still restless. She'd curled under the blanket that I gave her, hair spilling over the pillow, face pale from shock and exhaustion of the incident. But it didn't make her less beautiful. The woman is a beauty whether you dress her in rags or designer clothes. The flicker of the lantern painted her in gold and shadow, and now and then her lips trembled, whispering words I couldn't make out.I kept my eyes on the windows, forcing myself to stay alert and forcing myself to believe that she
Mister Dream Man Chapter 93. Safe Haven
* Jane Dankworth *I thought that Magnolia Manor was the safest place for me, but not until what happened that evening. It's a good thing that James is vigilant, and so is my grandpa. The threat did not succeed, but we still had to flee.I noticed that the air inside the hidden cabin was thick with silence, broken only by the faint hum of the generator and the steady rhythm of rain outside. My hands were still trembling from everything that had happened, there was the gunfire, the men shouting, the flashes of light that split through the darkness of Magnolia Manor when the lights were off.Grandfather's last words before we left echoed in my head."James will take you somewhere safe. Somewhere no one will find you. It isn't safe for you here anymore Jane. I trust the man will protect you with his life."I hadn't argued with him. Not when I had to think that if I stayed, my grandpa's life would also be in trouble. And I didn't doubt that.We drove immediately after James spoke to him.
Mister Dream Man Chapter 92. When the night comes
* James *That night's challenge came when everyone is getting rest and the manor was quiet. But peace didn't last long. When the dogs started barking, I knew that something was up.It wasn't the usual alert, this was panic, a deep-chested warning that rolled through the air like thunder before a storm. My hand went straight to the gun at my hip as I turned from the hall. The cameras flickered on the monitor beside the staircase, static on feed six, the north terrace. That was one of the blind spots I'd marked earlier."Damn it," I muttered, already moving."James?" Jane's voice came from the landing. She'd been coming down with a glass of water in her hand, her hair loose, her grandma Julliane Dankworth behind her in a robe. I raised a hand sharply."Stay back. Both of you. Upstairs. Now."The tone must've carried more command than I meant, because she froze mid-step. Then she nodded, grabbed her grandmother's arm, and pulled her back up without another word. Good girl, now she knew
