CHAPTER 416. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. You asked for 'more."I warn you, I won’t resist," he whispered, closing his eyes as he felt Chiara's hands caressing his throbbing member.He said nothing more, just smiled as she freed him from his pants and boxers. He was so magnificent that Chiara stood there, mesmerized for a few seconds."Dammit, I missed this!" she groaned with a sigh before taking him into her mouth as if he were the best lollipop in the world.Her mouth was intense, her throat deep, while her fingers continued exploring the rest of his skin with urgency."I bet you missed this more than you missed me!" he growled, pulling her up to kiss her between restrained gasps.He fell onto Chiara on the bed, lifting one of her legs to wrap it around his hips, and with a decisive movement, he slowly entered her. He felt her arch and moan beneath him, kissing her desperately, as if this were the last moment he could ever have with her.Chiara couldn't stop moaning from the intense sensat
CHAPTER 417. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. Reasons to CryAnd then it hit. An explosive orgasm for both of them, the wildest climax either could have imagined.Chiara seemed to melt in his arms, and Jhon lay down behind her, holding her close as they both tried to pull themselves together.The next few minutes were spent cuddling, slowly catching their breath, and letting their hearts return to normal. Both had remembered what it was like to be together, what they could conquer from each other.However, when Jhon least expected it, something wet touched his arm. He turned Chiara around, alarmed, and looked at her. She wasn’t crying, but there were tears wetting her eyelashes."For God’s sake, tell me that’s happiness, satisfaction, or something like that," he pleaded in a faint voice."I don’t even know what it is," she murmured. "Or maybe I do—it's the hormones. Lately, I cry a lot for no reason."Jhon pressed his lips together and shook his head."No, you have plenty of reasons to cry, you
CHAPTER 418. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. Hidden MotivesJhon leaned against the shower glass, waiting for the water to warm up, his mind lost in a flood of memories. Her sweat still clung to his skin, and maybe that’s why he hesitated to step under the stream. He had missed her scent more than anything in the world. He loved her just as much as before, and even though she had blamed the hormones, Jhon couldn’t help but wonder if she still felt the same way about him.Finally, he stepped under the shower, feeling the hot water relax his muscles. He wished he could close his eyes and reopen them to find her standing there. He wished he could have her by his side every day, but he knew that wasn’t going to happen anytime soon. He couldn’t sneak into the prison every day without risking being caught, so he was fully aware that their encounters would be brief.He wondered what it would be like to be with her always again, to enjoy every moment, to share in their daughter's life, and to savor eve
CHAPTER 419. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. A Difficult DecisionJhon wasn’t sure if he should answer, but after three calls, the persistence was too much. He finally grabbed the phone and picked up.“Hopkins, who’s this?”A melodic voice responded from the other side. “Agent Hopkins, code and access number, please.”For a second, Jhon hesitated. “I don’t have one,” he answered curtly, almost sensing the doubt from the other end.“I think I didn’t hear you, agent. Your code and access number so I can connect you, please.”“You heard me perfectly. I said, ‘I don’t have one.’ I don’t have a code or access number.”The sweet voice suddenly turned irritated. “Agent, without the requested information, we won’t be able to connect you,” the woman reprimanded him.“Well, that’s perfect because, to begin with, I wasn’t the one who called you,” he replied and immediately hung up.Not even five minutes passed before the phone rang again, and on the other side, he heard a rough, annoyed voice he knew a
CHAPTER 420. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. I Won’t Betray YouJhon knelt in front of her, closing his eyes to hold back the tears as he felt his daughter’s movements inside Chiara. The dance of life, the most precious treasure he had ever known. A deep sense of emotion spread through his soul as tears escaped his eyes. He focused on that moment and wondered what his life would be like once that little girl finally came into the world. He knew he would be capable of doing anything for her.Chiara watched him as he rested his forehead on the curve of her belly, unable to stop herself from melting inside at the sight of him like that. She reached out, her fingers slipping into his hair, gently stroking it. She knew the moment was delicate for both of them, sharing something intimate and unrepeatable, and she wished that everything could just be okay again.“Jhon,” she said softly, “what’s going on?”He opened his eyes and looked up at her. He couldn’t deny that she knew him too well. The deep lo
CHAPTER 421. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. My hormones are fine"No."That word came out of her mouth with more determination than either Jhon or she expected. "What...?" "No, I don’t want it!" she repeated firmly.Chiara looked at Jhon, her heart heavy with the suffering that seemed never-ending. She knew the road ahead would be tough, but she also knew the only path forward was a fresh start, to erase everything and begin again."Chiara... this is the best for..." "You need to give me better options," she interrupted. "You know how much I love my family, and you know..." She stopped herself from saying how much she loved him because he didn’t deserve it yet! "You need to give me better options, Jhon! I can't accept you going back to the CIA. That would be a sacrifice that would only bring us peace for a short while, and then everything would get worse. I won’t let our daughter’s life get tangled up in this. I don’t want her to grow up like that."Jhon’s eyes welled up as he looked at Chi
CHAPTER 422. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. Weak Points"You have to promise me you’ll let me do what’s necessary," he said, softly stroking her skin. "I’m sorry I’ve put you in this position. The last thing I wanted was for you to get involved in the agency’s filth."Chiara sat up in bed, curling herself in the blanket, and looked at him thoughtfully. "I’ve thought about that a lot lately, but it’s something you can’t and shouldn’t blame yourself for," she said. "If I had been ignorant of what was going on, if I didn’t know your true identity, I might have felt bad for being in the middle of this. But the truth is, I always knew what I was getting into.""I don’t believe that for a second..." "Did you forget that I was the one who sought you out?" Chiara replied. "I knew exactly who you were. I didn’t make the mistake of thinking the Director of Organized Crime for the CIA wouldn’t come with a lot of dangerous baggage." She hugged herself and smiled. "I’ve seen you do all sorts of things si
CHAPTER 423. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. PreparationsOn the other end of the line, there was a stunned silence filled with surprise and helplessness. "Exactly. And if I could find him, don’t think no one else will be able to," Jhon murmured. "It was smart to change your son’s last name to protect him, but what wasn’t so smart was using your influence to get him a spot at Harvard. The trail of favors you left is too obvious. Can you imagine what would happen if they found a bag of cocaine in his trunk? Or if someone reported a series of contacts with a terrorist cell?" "You wouldn’t dare...!" snapped the director. "If you’re going to make threats, make sure you can take them as well," Jhon said calmly. "It would be good if you remembered who I am, and even if I’m not with the agency anymore, I’m still the best you’ve ever had. The CIA and I won’t cross paths again. I’ll make sure to stay off the radar, but I’m not coming back. My time with the agency is over. I’ve given a huge part of my
