Jade's eyes widened when she saw the meaning of masochism, and she looked at Harry with a perplexed expression.

"How did you know about stuff like this?" She asked, and Harry, who had just ended his call with Crystal, raised a brow.

"Stuff like what?" He asked, completely lost as to what she was talking about.

"Masochism?" Jade asked, reminding him of what they had been talking about before his phone call to Crystal.

"How do people know about anything? You read up on it, watch movies on it, or hear it from someone," Harry said with a shrug.

"How did YOU know about it?" Jade asked curiously.

"I have read up almost everything about sex. There is little or nothing sexual that I haven't read on. I may not have practical experience, but I have plenty of theoretical experience," Harry said, and Jade nodded thoughtfully.

"So, it's not because you're interested in it. You have only just read up on it," Jade said, sounding relieved.

"Why do you sound so relieved? What if I say I'm interested in it?" Harry asked, and Jade frowned.

"Are you?"

"What if I am? What would you do?" Harry asked, watching her with interest as her frown deepened.

"Why would you be interested in something so weird and uncomfortable?" She asked, and Harry shrugged.

"Judging by the way you keep avoiding the question, I take it you won't be willing to do it with me," Harry said as he watched her.

Jade looked at him silently for a moment as she contemplated it, and then she sighed, "I suppose if you're into it, I could give it a try. I might have to read up on it, though," Jade said, and Harry resisted the urge to grin.

"Really? Why would you change your mind?" Harry asked with interest.

"So, you don't eventually go get it elsewhere," Jade said, and he scowled.

"Why would you think me capable of such a thing?" He asked with displeasure, and she shrugged.

"It's not like I think you are capable of that. But then again, you might not know what you're capable of until you've experienced the pleasures of sex…."

"Please stop," Harry said before she could finish.

"I'm only being logical," Jade said as she looked away from him.

"Seeing me in your room and on your bed right now, you must be confusing me with your ex. My name is Harry, not Todd. And I feel offended that you could indirectly suggest that I am capable of being a cheat," Harry said, and Jade sighed.

"I'm not confusing you with anyone. I was only stating a fact, and you didn't have to bring him into this. It's a natural tendency for men to go outside their relationship to get what they are lacking in their partners," Jade said, and Harry raised a brow.

"I suppose that was what you used to reassure yourself after you heard that he was cheating?" Harry asked in a mild tone this time, sensing that even though she seemed okay, a part of her was still scared of being cheated on.

Before Jade could respond, he took her hand and brought it to his lips, "I've told you before, esquire, you are the only one for me. My heart and body are completely yours. Why would I want someone else when I have everything in you?" Harry asked as he kissed her palm.

"You're more than enough for me, esquire. And don't associate me with your undisciplined ex next time. I don't appreciate it. I'm Harry Jonas, and I know what I want," Harry said, and Jade smiled.

"And what do you want?"

"You. Every part of you," Harry said, holding her gaze.

"Shall I take off my clothes then?" She asked with a suggestive smile, and Harry chuckled.

"You know I didn't mean that in a sexual way. We agreed that since I conceded to you last night and this morning, you will concede to me, too," he reminded her, and she nodded.

"Alright. Until then, I will go read up more on the whole BDSM shit. And just so you know, I'm going to be the one inflicting the pain since I don't derive pleasure from receiving pain. Who knows? Maybe by the time I'm done with you, you will swear off such desires for life," Jade joked, and Harry chuckled.

"You don't have to worry. I'm not into it. I was only kidding," Harry assured her as he lay down to sleep, and Jade snuggled up to him.

"Thank goodness!" Jade said, and Harry grinned as he cuddled her.

They both were silent for a moment, and just when Harry was beginning to think that Jade had gone to bed, she spoke again.

"Harry? Are you still awake?"

"Yes."

"What is in your head?" She asked, and Harry's lips twitched.

"My brain and some bones, I suppose," he joked, and she pinched his arm.

"You know that wasn't what I was asking," she hissed, and Harry grinned.

"You've got to be specific with your questions, esquire," Harry said, and Jade giggled.

"What are you thinking about?" Jade asked again.

"Forex market," Harry said simply, and Jade scowled as she sat up to look at him.

"Seriously? You are in bed with your beautiful girlfriend, and that is what you are thinking about? You couldn't even lie and claim you were thinking about me?" She asked, and Harry raised a brow.

"Would you prefer I lie to you? You know it won't stop here, right? Once I begin lying about little unnecessary things as these, before you know it, I will start lying about bigger things, and that could cause a problem for us. What's wrong with thinking about Forex anyway?" Harry asked, and Jade shook her head as she lay down again.

"Never mind. Think about forex all you like. I will just think about something else other than you, too. Goodnight," Jade said, and Harry grinned as he kissed her temple.

"Goodnight, sugar. I love you," Harry said and, but Jade said nothing as she slept off.

Harry sighed, feeling guilty that he had actually lied to her. He had been thinking about his meeting with Cassidy the next day and what to expect.

He wasn't sure what to expect, but he decided to tell Tom about it before leaving for the hotel.

Thinking about Tom, his lips curved when he remembered how excited Tom had been earlier, talking about how he believed that Lucy might be changing her mind.

He decided to let Lucy in on his surprise engagement plan for Jade and see if she would tell him anything.

Not that he was planning to tell Tom whatever she would tell him. He couldn't betray her confidence. And he wouldn't tell her either that Tom was suspicious.

He just wanted to be certain that Tom wasn't getting his hopes up for nothing.

If it were true that her mind was changing, he would support and encourage her to talk to Tom about it, and if it was false he would try his best to make Tom stop getting his hope up.

He glanced at his phone when it vibrated, and the light came on, and he reached for it slowly so as not to rouse Jade, who was cuddled against him.

He nodded in approval when he saw that the message was from Amos and he had sent all he asked him to.

Harry smiled at the thought that Sara would be punished soon enough, and there would be balance in his world once again.

The smile remained on Harry's face as he drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, as they freshened up and got ready to go downstairs for breakfast, Harry remembered that he was yet to tell Jade that he was going out, so he looked at her.

"Jade?" He called, and she raised a brow.

"Yes, Harry?"

"I will be stepping out later in the day. There's a business I need to see to..."

"I thought you handled all your business before coming. Didn't you say you came here for me," Jade cut in with a pout before he could finish, and he chuckled.

"Yes, I came here for you. And this business wasn't exactly planned. My attention is needed at the hotel," Harry said, and she shrugged.

"Then I will come with you," she said, but he shook his head.

"No, you can't come with me," he said, and Jade frowned.

"Why not?"

"Because I have to go alone," Harry said, knowing that she wouldn't like that.

"And why do you have to go alone? It's not like you're being blackmailed or someone was abducted, and you're taking a ransom there. I could just go with you to the hotel and wait in the suite until you're done," Jade said, and Harry regretted telling her anything about the Hotel.

Now, he could picture a clear scenario of Jade stubbornly going to the hotel after he had left only to be stopped from going into the suite by the hotel management because Mr Jonas was in there with someone.

He could very well imagine how tough it would be to convince her otherwise that he had been meeting with Cassidy in the suite and not a lady as she would think. She had enough trust issues already.

"No, esquire. You can't come with me. I promise I won't be gone for too long. When I come back, we can do whatever you want us to do," Harry said, wanting to distract her, and luckily, it worked.

"Whatever I want?" She asked with a raised brow.

Harry raised a brow at the mischief he could clearly see in her blue eyes, "Anything that isn't sexual, that is," he corrected as he waited for her to say whatever she was planning.

"What do you take me for? Sex is not the only thing I want from you," she said with a scowl.

"Yeah. Sure. So, what would you want us to do when I get back?" Harry asked, and she smiled.

"Let's go out on a date," Jade said, and Harry nodded.

"That works fine for me."

"We will get matching outfits like Tom and Lucy did yesterday," Jade said with a sweet smile, and Harry chuckled.

Jade never ceased to amuse him. "I didn't know you liked wearing matching outfits. Perhaps you intentionally dressed in the same outfits as me the other time," Harry said, and Jade rolled her.

"How was I supposed to know you would be wearing the same colors as me? That was purely coincidental. Come to think of it, I guess it was the universe telling us we were meant to be, but I guess we were just too blind to see it," Jade said, and Harry raised a brow.

"I wasn't. You were the blind one. I guess that's why you tried to hook me up with someone even when I insisted I wasn't inte..." The rest of Harry's words were cut off when Jade kicked his leg.

"I'm going downstairs," she hissed at him as she headed for the door, but Harry quickly held her back.

"We can wear matching outfits if you want, but why not come up with an original idea  for us instead of copying them so soon?" Harry said, and Jade nodded.

"I agree. Let's do something else. I don't want anyone calling us copycats," Jade said, and Harry smiled.

"That's better. You can let me know what you came up with after I get back. Agreed?"

"When are you leaving? And when are you coming back?" Jade asked curiously.

"I'm leaving by 3 P.M, and I can't say when I'm coming back. It depends on the nature of the meeting," Harry said, and she sighed.

"At least I have you from now until 3 P.M. In return for not going with you, how about I spend the rest of the week and weekend with you after we get back to Ludus?" Jade asked hopefully, and Harry chuckled.

"Alright. Deal," Harry said since he equally wanted her under his roof.

"Deal!" Jade said excitedly as she shook hands with Harry, and after that, they left the room to go join the others for breakfast.
