The Heartbreak Prescription

“Get in the car. I’m taking you home,” Shaun said.

Halsey tried to refuse. “I can go home by myself.”

Shaun grabbed her wrist, opened the passenger door of the luxury car, and gently but firmly pushed her inside.

Halsey was left speechless.

Half an hour later, they arrived back at the villa.

The maid quickly came over. “Ms. Mallin, Mr. Lane.”

Halsey said, “I’m going upstairs to take a shower first.”

Without waiting, she left Shaun behind and headed upstairs.

She went into her room, took a bath, and then came out. She pulled out the oil the doctor had given her and began applying it all over her body.

Elise was younger than her, and although Halsey was confident in herself, she didn’t want pregnancy to ruin her figure or cause stretch marks. Even while pregnant, she wanted to look beautiful.

She applied oil everywhere she could reach-everywhere except her back.

She stretched her hand behind her, but couldn’t quite reach.

Then there was a soft “click” as the door suddenly opened and someone stepped inside.

Halsey immediately lay down carefully, placing a pillow beneath her so she wouldn’t put pressure on the baby.

“Jocelyn, come help me put the oil on my back,” she called out.

Shaun froze at the door.

It wasn’t the maid who came in-it was him.

He hadn’t left. When he came in, he saw Halsey lying on the lounge chair. He wanted to leave, but Halsey seemed to need help.

Shaun glanced behind him, and Jocelyn was nowhere to be found.

Halsey called again, “Jocelyn, come help me! I can’t reach my back.”

Shaun extended his legs forward and walked in.

Halsey had just showered and was wearing a nightgown. The tie at the back wasn’t fastened, revealing a broad stretch of smooth, delicate skin. Shaun’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he gulped.

The nightgown was short, showing off her two pale legs. The room smelled sweet from her fresh bath, a scent that was quietly tempting.

Halsey didn’t realize it was Shaun. She passed the oil to him. “Put this on my back.”

She lay down again.

Shaun picked up the oil. Not having done this before, he awkwardly squeezed some into his palm and rubbed it between his hands. Then his large hand rested gently on Halsey’s back.

Her skin was so smooth and soft that Shaun felt like his hand was gliding over silk. A flicker of heat sparked in his eyes.

He rubbed the oil on slowly, moving downward until his hand settled on her soft waist.

Halsey closed her eyes lazily. “Jocelyn, a little harder.”

Shaun quietly pressed down more, pinching her waist lightly.

A soft breath escaped Halsey. “Not so hard.”

Shaun was speechless. noveldrama

He felt like she was toying with him-one minute she wanted pressure, the next she wanted it light.

She could keep him on his toes, even when he was just applying some oil. No wonder she was the woman he fell for!

“Go lower and help me rub some oil there,” Halsey murmured.

Lower…

Shaun’s gaze followed the curve of her slender waist disappearing beneath the nightgown. He thought he caught sight of pale purple lace panties.

Heat surged through Shaun’s whole body as he instinctively reached further down.

“Jocelyn? Did you hear me?”

Halsey felt something was off. Jocelyn hadn’t made a sound the whole time.

“Why-ah!”

She turned her head and saw Shaun.
