Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Hearing this, Odie's eyes narrowed dangerously.

Back when Colby injected him with a full syringe of some new drug to save Sophie, it left Odie needing a fix every few days to manage the addiction. Clearly, Colby had access to the Mintons' latest concoction. Was it meant for Sophie?

"No wonder she looked so good last time I saw her, not begging or anything. Turns out Colby got our drugs to help her kick the habit," Odie sneered. He had thought Sophie had some serious self-control, but that didn't seem to be the case.

"Pass on my orders," Odie said. "Pull our new drug from the market and stop sales for now."

"Stop sales? If Sophie has to go cold turkey, what about our regular clients? They might turn on us when they can't get their supply."

"Don't worry. As long as we have the stock, they'll come crawling back when they can't find it anywhere else, Sophie included."

Odie glanced at the computer screen showing a photo of Sophie and Colby strolling hand-in-hand on some overseas street, and a sly smile spread across his face. He was looking forward to seeing Sophie, desperate and begging him for a fix.

Meanwhile, Colby wasted no time putting what he'd learned into practice.

In the bathtub, Sophie pouted, "The table was too hard. It was uncomfortable."

"Next time, we'll switch it up. Maybe the kitchen, the balcony, or even the couch."

As Colby teased her, Sophie blushed and playfully hit his chest. "Stop that!"

Steam filled the bathroom, and as Colby looked at Sophie's flushed face, a wave of arousal washed over him. He whispered, "My dear wife, even when you're mad, you're gorgeous."

Before Sophie could respond, Colby kissed her, pinning her against the side of the tub.

Sophie was breathless from the kiss, and just as things were heating up, Colby's phone rang from the other room. The sound snapped Sophie back to reality. She bit her lip and pushed him away. "Go answer the phone."

"It's not important."

Colby kissed her neck, nibbling at her earlobe, making Sophie moan involuntarily. But she still pushed him away, saying, "Stop it... What if it's urgent?"

Colby, nearly losing control from Sophie's moan, was abruptly brought back to his senses. With a deep, raspy voice, he reluctantly touched her cheek and said, "Wait for me." This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Sophie obediently nodded.

As Colby left the tub, Sophie patted her chest to calm down. Colby @ wanted to do this so many times a day; if it kept up, it would have been the fifth time today! This couldn't go on, or she'd be completely worn out.

Outside, Colby answered the call, "What's up?"

Adler's voice had a hint of frustration. "New news: Odie pulled the new drug. Our plan worked!" "Yeah, got it."

"Got it? That's it?"

"Anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."

"No, but..."

"Oh, and from now on, just text me. Don't call."

With that, Colby hung up, leaving Adler confused on the other end.

What on earth was going on?
