Under His Protection

Does he have a death wish? Micheal doesn’t care if he is the son of her Excellency best friend….. wait a minute, why is he behaving like this? He has no business or whatsoever with the guy hanging around Laura, he carefully reminded himself. What he and Laura had was just purely employer and bodyguard relationship.

“Michael….?” Trisha dragged him out of his dark thought, hefreed himself to focus his attention to the woman beside him but he could not miss the way Aiden rested his hand on Laura’s back, “…. I ask you if you can go and disturb those two love birds for a moment and ask Laura if she has seen her father, I don’t want to create a scene so iam going to wait here for you”

Michael was more than happy to oblige to her demand this time, he nodded at once and left her so he could go ahead and deal with those two who were discussing and smiling, he approached them prudently reminding himself to act as cool and indifferent.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Laura….?” Michael asked as soon as he reached towards them eyeing the man beside her with a murderous glare.

How he wanted to do something violent to Aiden right in the middle of the party.

The woman in question turned around to look at him, he could not miss the way her eyes widen at the sight to see him with such attire, well thanks to her demanding mother.

She eyed him from head to toe before focusing her gaze in his face, ” Michael…?”

“Your mother sent me here to ask you a question on her behalf” he said, eyeing the man beside her who wore a annoying smirk, ” in private”

Aiden seems to get what he meant when he smiled knowingly and excused himself, Michael watched him intently as he retreated from the Marquee mingling with the other guest far away from them.

“What are you saying a while ago?” Laura questioned once they were alone.

Michael glanced where he left Trisha standing near the foyer of the mansion, she is now nowhere to be seen, she might have already located her husband. He glanced back to the beautiful woman Infront of him who looked at his face with query in her eyes.

He looked around them to see everyone busy socializing, eating, drinking and dancing, Michael clamped Laura’s wrist and dragged her somewhere where they could talk without other people hearing them.

“Where are we going to?” She asked as she struggled to free from his grip, ” I thought Trisha wanted to ask me something important and that was why she sent you to me, Michael?!”

Michael ignored her until he found the perfect spot at Jadua gigantic garage where there was no one around, he finally released her hand and looked down to see his palm still thesame, he was half expecting it to burn from touching her unexpectedly.

“What do you want? Laura asked him angrily, rubbing her wrist. It seems that his grip was too tight for her slender wrist.

“What are you flirting with the son of your mother’s bestfriend as soon as you arrive here? What about that japhet guy? Don’t tell me you already forgotten about the poor guy just because of this dark skinned handsome solider” he fired more intensely than he wanted

Laura eyes widen considerably in his direction, Michael was fully expecting her to slap him in the face after seeing the shock in her own face, ” what the hell are you talking about Micheal? Iam not flirting with Aiden, you are just imagining things and you need to get your eyes checked.

“Iam not imagining things young lady, I saw it with your mother” he replied softly, fixing his eyes on her lovely face.

“Well you are wrong” she fired back, crossing her arms into each other across her chest, ” And if iam flirting with Aiden why does it concern you? And since when did you become concern about japhet? The last time I checked you Don’t like this guy”

He was lost for words, for a moment he stared at the defiance expression in her face, ” I…. I….”

“Now I want to believe what Aiden said earlier according to his observation, he claimed he saw you arrived with my mother at the party and when you looked at our direction it seems to him that you are jealous, how likely is that. Isn’t it?”

“What if he was right and iam jealous?” Michael asked casually as he started closing the distance between them.

He hid his predatory smile when he saw the alarm in her eyes, she instantly took steps backwards, ” What do you think you are doing?”

“The things I want to do so badly the moment I saw you again two whole gruesome years” he said dangerously soft as he stood inch away from her, he could already smell her perfume.

“Michael….” She whispered breathlessly.

He traced her buttom lip with his thumb, ” Iam going to ruin your lipstick sweetheart”

Before she could formulate her reply, he closed the distance of their lip and once again surrender to the temptation of tasting her lovely lips, Michel pulled her closer to his body until her breast pressed tightly against his chest, his attack on her lip were slow and demanding, deep and intense.

He thought she would pull away and slap him hard across the face but she surprised him when she encircled her arm around his neck and kissed him back with thesame passion and hunger.

As he deepened the kiss, he didn’t care if he’d father would catch them and hang him after taking advantage of his daughter, if that would happen, he would be glad to die after savouring Laura’s lips again.

They were both trying to catch their breath from another heated kiss, Michael rested his forehead to hers as their faces were only inch apart, he was still cradling her face in the palm of his hand.

“What now?” She asked unsurely.

“Your father will probably have my head in a few moment” he replied sanguinely as if he was really prepared for his death tonight, Laura put some distance between them even though it feels damn good to be in his arm, but they needed to have a serious conversation and she could not bear the thought that this would end like the first one, after tonight he would revert to his old self and she would wake up tomorrow, Michael was once again cold towards her. He would once again put wide mile distance between them.

“Be serious Michael, Will you?” She glared at him, she could not help but feel upset at the fact that he is taking this issue lightly, ” what will happen now after this? I mean I don’t think i can bear again when you revert to your old self Michael”

“Revert to my old self?” He repeated, furrowing his eyebrows ” what does that means?”

Laura eyed him gaurderly, ” you know the usual way you treat me with indifference, I don’t think I can keep up with your hot and cold attitude towards me, will you please stop messing with my heart.

The shock in his face was palpable, ” Laura, I should be the one saying that line princess, you should stop messing with my heart”

Her mouth hanged open at him ” what?”

He surprised her when he took her hand and kissed it, he flattened her palm in the middle of his chest, she could feel the steady beat of his heart, ” The moment I first laid my eyes on you In your father’s study room, you did nothing but to confuse my heart. You always want me to expect more when we both know there’s no way in hell that is going to happen”

“Yyou… mean…..” She swallowed hard for a moment, Laura could not speak she just stared at his burning eyes while her hand was trap in his chest, ” Michael……”

“You Don’t even have any idea how I imagine kissing you every night, everyday, and every damn minute even when iam aware that you are forbidden for me”
