And then, his fear came true. As he saw a tall girl wearing a black hoodie, half of her face concealed, walking towards his car, his heart raced even faster.
"Damn! I'm in trouble!" Rex muttered under his breath, putting on his best smile as he stepped out of the car.
He casually approached her, opening the car door.
"Thank you, Rex!" A beautiful voice, akin to the sound of enchanting melodies, reached Rex's ears, causing his entire body to shiver.
"Hmm..." was all the sound he had managed to utter. Quickly, he closed the car door and walked to his side. Before getting into the car, he took a deep breath, attempting to calm his mind.
Feeling much better, Rex finally entered the car. To his surprise, he saw Casey had now removed her hood, revealing her captivating beauty. She resembled an angel, emanating a radiant aura.
He suddenly felt his throat go dry.
"Hi, Rex... it's been a while. I've missed you..." Casey said, leaning closer and wrapping her arms around Rex's neck in an affectionate hug.

'Oh, crap!' he quietly said, slowly raising his hand to return the hug.
Despite the intense sensation throbbing in his heart, Rex managed to maintain his composure, enjoying the warmth of Casey's embrace.
However, a surge of desire coursed through his veins when he became aware of her breasts softly pressing against his body.
After a brief moment, Casey's arms gradually loosened, and she leaned back into her seat, fastening her seatbelt.
"Thank you, Rex. You saved me from this place," Casey expressed her gratitude, her eyes locked on him with a radiant smile.
She proceeded to share the details of her rigorous filming schedule at the studio without a single day off. However, after learning of Rex's visit to the city, she successfully secured two days off of everything and intended to spend them with him.
Rex drove silently, his attention divided between Casey's animated storytelling and his mind's inner turmoil. The embrace they shared lingered in his mind, stirring up a whirlwind of emotions.
Every now and then, Rex stole glances at Casey, who remained enthusiastic about recounting her shooting experiences. The sparkle in her eyes inexplicably warmed his heart.
'Am I truly falling for her?' he pondered silently, his gaze shifting back to the road ahead.
After a while, Casey wrapped up her stories and turned her attention to their dinner plans.
"Rex, where are we going for dinner?" she asked, her gaze drifting to the unfamiliar streets they passed.
Although she had visited the city numerous times, she had yet to explore the mountainous region, often spending her time in the city or by the beach.
"We're heading to Starlight Mountain. Have you heard of it?" Rex asked.
"Starlight Mountain?" Casey repeated, the name sounding familiar. "Yes, I've heard of it. If I'm not mistaken, there's a luxurious clubhouse at the summit, right?"
Rex nodded, stealing a quick glance at her. "That's right. We will go there. The restaurant we are going to is over there. It has an amazing night view. And their food is also some of the best in town." Rex said.
"Wow! It must be amazing if you say so, Rex," Casey couldn't wait to get there.
Rex simply nodded in response.
After a momentary silence, Casey spoke up again, her voice filled with excitement. "You know Rex, I'm so happy right now. I can finally enjoy my vacation after filming non-stop. It feels like I've just emerged from a month-long mission in the forest..."
Casey looked at Rex with a warm smile, reminiscing about their rigorous training and the test they underwent to become members of The Fox core team.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRex had thrown them on a grueling month-long survival mission in a tropical forest. At the time, Casey had felt like she was in hell, but fortunately, she and a few of her teammates had passed the test, securing their places on the core team. She held the position of number six.
As Rex listened to her story, a smile tugged at the corners of his lips. However, a slight feeling of regret also surfaced within him for putting her through such a challenging experience.
"It seems like you could use that training again," Rex teased, his tone playful. "You're starting to lose your edge, Casey!"
Instantly, horror crossed Casey's face as she looked at Rex.
"What!? No! I'm not joining again. I can't bear to spend another week in the rainforest. I'm more accustomed to missions in the city. Please, Rex, never put me in that place again!" Casey shook her head vigorously as she recalled the past struggles she had to endure.
Rex chuckled silently, finding amusement in her reaction. He responded casually, "How about if I'm with you in that place?" Casey was taken aback by his suggestion.
'Going to the forest with him? Spending a month together?' The thought intrigued her, and she narrowed her eyes at him, trying to observe whether he was serious or not.
"Are you serious?" she asked curiously. Rex nodded calmly. "If... If I'm with you, I'm willing to go!" Her voice was barely audible, but Rex could hear it clearly.
"Casey, I promise I'll lead you this time," he said, locking eyes with her. His heartbeat quickened as he witnessed the alluring smile that graced her lips.
In an instant, he averted his gaze to the road, desperately trying to maintain control. He fought the urge to pull the girl into his arms and taste the softness of her enticing lips.
Being alone in the car with Casey was torment for Rex. It felt like hell, and Casey shared the same feeling.
Her heart yearned to express her love for him once again, to ask him to be her true lover.
'Oh, God! What should I do now? Why is this feeling so torturous?'
Casey clenched her hands, attempting to calm her racing heart and the intrusive thoughts that plagued her mind. She couldn't help but imagine the sultry scenarios that would unfold if she spent the night with him.
