Chapter 710
The silken rush of sensation pulled Joseph under; without realizing it, he gave heat for heat. That night, they laid their hearts bare—speaking in touches and replies, letting action carry what words could not.Mason Alvarez felt herself falling deeper and deeper for Joseph. Once, she’d dismissed men as trivial—countless outstanding suitors, and not one worth a second glance. Until Joseph. With this man, whose life seemed bound to hers by a thousand unseen threads, she finally understood what love meant—how loving a man could mean giving him everything.They lingered in that tenderness for a long while, until Mason, spent and trembling, drifted into sleep.In the morning, Joseph rose early. After last night, he took care not to wake Mason. She, for her part, showed no inclination to get up—truly exhausted.“Joseph, where’s that old woman?”He was in the kitchen making breakfast when Alice walked in.“Uh… probably still asleep.”He felt heat creep up his neck at the thought of the nigh

“Oh, come on, I was kidding. My sister is the calmest, proudest woman in the world—how could she ever swoon like a lovesick fool?”“Enough talking. I’m turning in.”“Oh, right—tomorrow night I won’t be home for dinner. Tell Grandma and me, would you?”Something occurred to Heidi and she added it offhandedly.“Why not?”Fiona asked.“I’m going to a classmate’s place for a barbecue. A close friend. I’ll head back after we eat.”Heidi replied.“What friend?”Fiona was curious.“A good one. She’s a girl—really cute, sweet as can be.”Heidi said brightly.“Don’t go to a stranger’s home on a whim. You’re not a child. Protect yourself when you’re out, understand?”Fiona reminded her.“Relax, she’s great. We’re classmates.”Heidi reassured her.“All right, use your judgment. If anything happens, call home.”Fiona urged again.“Got it, don’t worry. You don’t need to fuss.”Heidi soothed her and slipped into her room, all but announcing she’d heard every word and planned to forget it immediatel

Still, Alice was thin-skinned by nature. Even as she teased, a rosy flush crept across her cheeks. She wasn’t like Mason Alvarez, who could say the most shameless things without so much as a blink.“I can’t wait, no. Easy for you to talk when you’re full.”Mason sighed.“It’s only been two days, and you’re already this ravenous?”Alice kept up the ribbing, though her face burned even hotter.“Can you blame me? When something’s that delicious, you never tire of it.”“Your Joseph is delectable—I could never get my fill. I adore him. I’ll never let him go, not in this lifetime.”Mason spoke as she slid her long legs over Alice’s lap and curled her arms around Alice’s neck.“Old woman, you’re shameless. There’s nothing you won’t say.”Alice clicked her tongue, exasperated.“What’s unsayable about it? You know perfectly well how good he is.”“Could you really walk away from a man like that?”“Men dream their whole lives of being like him. Compared to Joseph, all the ones out there are just

“Of course not.”At his words, a blush bloomed across Mason Alvarez’s face. She lowered her head, a touch of shyness stealing into her gaze.“Then what is it?”Joseph smiled and asked in return.“Why do you need to know so much about women’s business?”“All right, the checkup’s done. We should head back.”“I’m starving. Let’s go home and eat.”Mason patted her stomach and said to Joseph.“When will the results be out—the full-body exam?”Joseph asked again.“By the time we get home, most likely.”“Why are you so anxious? It’s just a routine exam. Nothing’s going to happen.”Mason sounded utterly unconcerned.“I just want to know if there’s been any change in my body.”Joseph nodded.With his strength increasing, would his physical condition shift in any obvious way? The thought tugged at his curiosity.“Probably not. Last time your strength went up, your metrics were still roughly within the norm. So this time should be about the same.”Mason considered for a moment, then answered.Th

“Then promise me you’ll stay with me tonight—or I’ll start something right now,” Mason Alvarez said, cheeks softly flushed, her gaze roaming Joseph’s chiseled features, brimming with a tenderness on the verge of spilling over. She looked at him not as a man, but as prey within arm’s reach.“Alright. I promise. I’ll stay with you tonight—satisfied?” Joseph said, helpless. There was no winning with this woman—and she certainly had the allure to back her demands.“You said it. I’ll be waiting,” Mason replied, finally settling down.Joseph let out a quiet breath. If his body weren’t so far beyond ordinary, he’d have been a husk by now. For a man, nothing matters more than sound health.After a bit more tugging and teasing, Mason finally behaved and rested. Joseph took the opportunity to nap as well.A little over two hours later, they arrived at the diagnostics unit. With Mason and a few nurses assisting, Joseph went through a full examination before moving on to the strength test.It was

“What’s all this racket about?”“You’re training to be doctors. What if a patient saw you carrying on like this?”An elderly physician strode over, voice stern, and the chattering crowd fell apart at once.By then, Joseph had followed Mason Alvarez into her office.Once inside, Mason not only closed the door—she locked it.“Ms. Alvarez, why lock it?” Joseph asked, baffled.“So no one barges in,” she said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.“Weren’t we here for a physical?” Something felt off to Joseph.“We are. But it’s not even one yet. The department’s in use for student practicum and won’t be free until three,” Mason said, already slipping out of her blouse.“Then why come so early?” Joseph was growing more confused by the second.“I only just found out. The message came in when we were on our way—hardly my fault,” she replied with an innocent look.“Why are you undressing?” Joseph stared as she revealed a figure shaped to perfection, momentarily stunned.“Do you sl
