Under His Protection

Laura was lost for words for a moment, she just stood there looking at him with wide eyes, who would have thought that there was a devil hiding inside Michael, she thought he was such a straight laced almost boring kind of guy, well it seems that she was mistaken and seeing this single act from him she was going to get really prepared for more steamy experience from him.

“You are really something Michael”

The devilish grin in his face was still there, ” Hurry and eat your icecream, it is melting In your hand”

“How can you say such word casually? Are you aware that you are putting dirty thought inside my head right now?” She informed him hotly.

“This should serve as a reminder dear, not to entice me when you have no plan of continuing for the next part, I might not be able to control myself in the future princess”

“I didn’t do such….”

He silenced her with a kiss, ” You did”.

She was about to rebuke him when he kicked the melting icecream in her hand, ” I told you to eat your icecream fast, do you want your hand to get all sticky? Let’s go”

Laura was utterly lost for words as she was led through the street again, she ate her icecream lighting fast, honestly she might not be able to ear one of her favorite dessert again without remembering this day.

Once they got to the crowded street filled with tourists, she noticed that most of the women were enjoying their coffee or having a nice early lunch while following Michael movement with their eyes, she could not blame them since she was probably doing thesame, but for the guy in question, he took no notice of them and just continued walking beside her.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

” You are not hungry yet?” He asked looking at her. Laura frowned at him, ” I just had icecream remember?”

Michael smirked in her direction, looking at their surroundings he dipped his head and whispered something in her ears, ” Ah yes! I remember how sweet it taste in your mouth”

Laura couldn’t help but to shiver at his word, his hot breath trickled her ears sending tingling sensation to her thigh, ” stop messing with my mind Michael”

“I just want to make an impression”

“Impression?” She inquired, she looked around not understanding what he meant, ” sorry, but I don’t follow, what do you mean by that?”

Again he looked around, his lip was set in a grim line, ” I just want to make clear the other men around here that you are with me, therefore you are mine. They can only watch you from afar but they will never have the chance to know you better, I won’t let them”

Laura could not help out but giggle with joy, ” Oh Michael, Don’t Tell me you are jealous”

Michael looked at Laura straight in the eyes, ” You don’t know how hard I tried to hide my jealousy when other men pay attention to you, now that I have you I won’t hesitate to show my possessiveness”

She moved closer to him, her body touching his, Laura edge closer to Michael until nothing could separate them not even the wind, she gaze at his scrothing eyes, ” Why don’t you stake your claim then, why don’t you show them what you really feel”

Michael eyes were dark with desire to posses her right there, ” You don’t have to tell me twice Laura”

She immediately closed her eyes as he dipped his head and kisses her passionately in the middle of the crowded street, Laura knew they were making a spectacle infront of these people but she didn’t really care, she encircled her arm around Michael neck and deepen the kiss, he didn’t have any idea how long she had waited for him to be hers, she would surely hold him forever in her arms.

When it seems that he was fimaly satisfied with the kiss, he lifted his head and gave her a meaningful smirk, she could see the unhidden hunger in his eyes and below his waist, Michael pocketed his hand in the front of his jeans trousers to give space for his visible hardness as he looked around them, ” Let’s go and buy the fabric you wanted to buy, but before then let’s get something to eat iam very famished”

With scores of eyes of people on them, they continued to walk until they arrived the market, Michael followed her silently as she scan stalls after stalls looking for nice piece of fabrics”.

“Can I ask you a favour?” He asked standing in front of her, Laura raised her eyebrows in his direction. This behavior was so unlikely of him to be this courteous, “iam curious though”

She noticed he swallowed hard as he stared deep in her eyes, ” Can we hide our relationship from everyone for now?”

“Why?” She asked horsely, there was a slight pain in her heart, ” Are you ashamed of me?”

“No, no” Michael answered almost immediately, he took her hand in his, ” iam not Laura, I can never be ashamed of you. I just want to prove myself first that iam worthy to be your boyfriend, most especially to your father. You know how I value his opinion of me”.

She was about to protest that he want to hide their relationship, but then she realized where he was coming from, it must have cost him putting off his pride to make this decision even though it hurts her, she would try to understand his reasons.

“Alright, but how long do you think we can hide this?”

“Until your father would not protest once he learns that iam dating his youngest daughter” he smiled tenderly at her, ” I hope you are okay with that?”

Laura made a face, ” well, what else can I do? Does that mean we have to act like we hate each other gut in public?”

“Yes” he smiled almost shyly.

On getting to the estate, Laura could hear her mother sneaky tone, ” I assume that the shopping expedition was a success”

Trisha watched as soon as Laura and her handsome but prudish bodyguard entered the room, she almost admitted she had been waiting for them over two hours to show up, she didn’t expect that they would spend the whole day in the market looking for fabrics.

From the pink stain on Laura’s cheek she assume they were already making progress in their relationship.

“Good evening mom” Laura murmured demurely.

Trisha nodded as she sat on the chair sipping her wine, from the corner of her eyes she could see the prim and proper bodyguard of her daughter unloading the fabrics, so Laura was not lying then when she said she was going to the market.

Trisha knew these two were trying so hard to avoid each other eye contact so she wouldn’t suspect anything in the improvement of their association, she hid her smile in between drinking her wine, they might successfully fool the rest of the world but not her, and definitely not what she saw them doing at the garage ok there birthday night party.

“Good evening Michael, I hope my daughter did not give you a hard time the whole day dragging you around the city buying fabrics like there is no tomorrow”

“Good evening to you your highness” he muttered softly still avoiding her gaze, Trisha eyes lit with pleasure when the man moved closer to Laura and whispered something in her ears, she couldn’t miss the way her daughter eyes widen before the bodyguard left them after saying his goodbye.

“What is with the whispering thing all about?” She asked Laura as they look at the retreating form of Michael.

The blush on Laura’s cheek suggested that he had whispered something naughty to her, ” Oh, it is nothing important mother, he said if there is anything I need I should call him”

It was already on the tip of Trisha tongue to gently point out to her daughter that her mother cannot be fooled easily, there was no way she would believe what her daughter just told her.

“Is that so?” She asked sanguinely, ” then we better go inside, dinner is almost ready”

She led Laura inside while the maids took the purchase into her room, Laura went to her room claiming she wanted to take a shower before going down for dinner.

The dinner was uneventful particularly because Laura remained silent throughout, she did not join in the conversation in the dinner table unless a personal question was directed to her.

Once the dinner was finished, she excused herself immediately claiming she was too tired with the trip she had in town so she would like to retire to bed early, but Trisha was not buying it. After Mavey was put to sleep she asked Jadua and Aiden to join her in the drawing room, they need to know what her daughter has been hiding.
