Chương 20: The proud beast
She looked into his eyes and noticed it was filled with passion and desire. Her heart was thumping hard against her chest, so hard like it was about to break out from her thorax. She closed her eyes in anticipation for his next move. He leaned in once more to claim her lips with his. This time it was no longer clumsy instead it was with burning desire. He held the back of her head, afraid she might withdraw from him and he urge her to be closer. Surprisingly, she extended both of her arms and clasped them around his neck to draw him even nearer. Soon they were loss in heat of passion. They could feel the heat of each others breath and both wished that the kiss would last forever, soon they were out of breath and had to part. He smiled gently when he saw some saliva at the corner of her lips and he brushed it off gently with his thumb.
It sent some funny tingling sensation down her body to her private area. "I can't seem to control myself when I'm with you."He let out a sexy low growl. "I don't seem to have any barriers when I'm with you" She said in her defence. He found her so cute that he let out a loud chuckle. "Let's get married. You are made for me like I am for you" Jade stared at him contemplating and was very tempted to say yes. In the end she said, "Don't want. You did not even prepare a ring. I don't sell myself cheap" she said seriously. "So, if I propose to you with a ring, you would say yes?" his eyes were shining brightly. "Yes" she replied shyly.
"But" "hush.. no but please. I know the mourning period is 3 years but we can always get our marriage registration first. The ceremony will be done once the mourning period has ended." "It seems someone has already gave much thought to this." "Jade, I am a selfish person and I like you so much that I don't want to regret one day because I was too late and someone else has a greater standing in your heart than me." "Okay, after I see a ring on my finger, I will say yes. I like you very much too." "Alright, I'll send you home after dinner okay? I will be out of town around 2 weeks, so promise me you'll take good care of yourself." he said while stroking her head lovingly. She just nod her head in agreement. He then started the car and drove off. His hand never letting go her of her hand. She slept while he drove. He woke her up once they arrive a simple diner. They ate a simple meal as both were very worn out and tired. After dinner, they headed back to her home.
"Sleep at my place tonight. You are tired and it is dangerous to drive when you are tired." Derek's eyes that was previously droopy became wide with mischief. "Yes Ma'am. Anything you say is right." Jade suddenly felt she had been fooled by a wolf in sheep clothing. He picked her up like bridal style and marched towards the condo elevator. Jade swallowed back the words she was about to say and decided to enjoy his embrace instead, as usual she buried her face into her favourite spot on his chest. He smiled widely with happiness.
Both were unaware that they were seen by two group of people that were lurking outside her home. The first group was, Madam Lu and April Lu. They came to Jade's place earlier to rant their grievances and vent their anger but was disappointed that she was not home. As they were about to leave after waiting for hours, they noticed a Yellow Lamborghini at the entrance of Jade's condo. They were shocked by the scene of the two who acted so intimately. The other faction was none other that Master Lee's assistant, Steven. Master Lee received news that his son had his eye on one of Matriach Lu's granddaughter and asked his assistant to investigate. Steven was also taken aback by the scene he just witnessed. For the past 20 years, Young Master had never smiled with such sincerity and carefree attitude. He must report immediately to Master Lee but before that he is curious to know if the young master is staying a night. His suspicions were confirmed when he recognised Young Master's butler delivering a duffel bag likely to be a change of clothes for Young Master.
April and Madam Lu also noticed a man delivering a bag to the happily smiling Derek. April was going crazy inside. That bitch, that bitch, how can she steal what I want. She only deserves my leftover. April made some calls and bribed people to get Derek's schedule for the next few days. She was happy when she found out he will be going out of town and decided she need to make her move then.
Oblivious to the people out there, Jade and Derek were discussing their sleeping arrangements. Jade's apartment is a studio apartment with one king size bed. "We can sleep together but you are not allowed to do anything funny." Jade warned Derek with a serious expression. "Funny like how? Like this?" Derek grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him and nuzzled his face at the nook of her neck tickling her with his tiny stubs on his chin. Her mind went blank with his actions and she just went limp in his arm encouraging him to act even more brazen. He brought his face close to hers and stared into her beautiful blue eyes. "You are breath taking baby." He put her hand on his furiously beating heart. "You have this effect on me, darling." he whispered softly into her ear and then he took her earlobe into his mouth and gently sucked on it. She held his sturdy waist fearing she might fall because her knees went weak with his kiss. He then moved to her mouth and took her lips gently, sucking and gently biting. His tongue explored her mouth like it was a boundless never ending field. Finally, their lips parted and they were both breathing hard and fast. He pushed her on the bed with such gentleness that she didn't even know he possessed.
He held her back against his chest and placed his face at her neck and said huskily, "Sleep or I might not be able to control myself" He moved away to switch off the light and once he covered them with the blanket he resume their previous position. Jade on the other hand, was calming her heart. Heck, what magic does he have over me? Soon, the warmth enveloped her with his strong arms protecting her, she drifted off to sleep. Derek noticing Jade's breathing started to become slow and even knew she had fell asleep.
"Heartless lass. How could she sleep in a situation like this." he muttered. Finally, he managed to sleep as well after he took a cold shower to calm the proud and standing beast.
