Chapter 126: Jeremy Stanton vs. Ryan Hicks ~ Feral attraction in the midst of hatred… The calm before the storm!

***

Ryan heard them before they entered the Villa. He heard Deloris’ laughter and wanted to go meet her but didn’t want a repeat of what had transpired with Stan so he stayed put. When the door eventually swung open, Jeremy entered first, followed by Deloris, and then the rest. Ryan simply stared from his perch on the windowsill. He noticed that Dr. Sanders sniffed the air tentatively before stepping fully inside.

“Ryan…” The Deloris opened her arms with a delighted grin. “Come here, baby. We won’t bite.”

“Speak for yourself.” Stan drawled, earning himself an elbow from Jeremy. “Ouch.” But he didn’t even flinch. His amused gaze remained on Ryan.

“You must be enjoying it here.” Deloris drew a grinning Ryan into a warm motherly hug. “You look great.”

“I’m enjoying it very much.” Ryan sighed, hugging her back. “I’ve missed you.”
