The man desires her, is that it? Did he mean it like literally ... wanting her in his ... b-bed?!

The man has gone out of control.

Laurice gulped and nearly choked on her own saliva.

Her body tensed from the point of snapping. Hearing the man's exact words were turning her on but fear also started to rise from her chest. Her eyes were now filled with panic, anxiety, wonder and something else she couldn't just deny herself.

Was it antic.i.p.ation? She thought she must have gone mad for feeling that way.

Laurice tried all her might to kill the heat of desire from soaring within her. Feeling the cold foreboding sensation, she drifted back to her sanity the next second. She could hear warning bells already and she's afraid she might not handle it. Not now, atleast.

At that point, Laurice tried to escape from the man's embrace, pus.h.i.+ng his body away from hers by exerting some force with her hands.

"Sid. Hold on. We can't do that." Laurice resolutely turned him down. Her palms still pressing against his toned chest. Their bodies slightly parted but Sid's arms were still wrapped around her waist.

Laurice's stomach tensed at his expression.

Sid looked disgruntled. His face a bit darker than usual. He appeared dull and sullen but she could see a predatory gleam in his eyes making her tremble inwardly.

With outstretched hands, Laurice cupped the back of his neck, rubbing her thumb alongside his cheek, and with slow and tender strokes, she studied the man's face.

He appears to be restraining himself but the fire in his eyes are still lit and waves of tons of emotions flashed across his handsome face.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. You're making me feel guilty." Laurice said nervously and kept her voice low. Her eyes pleading for understanding. She kept stroking the man's face with a bit more pressure now.

Is it working on him?

Laurice chanted.

No. It was lacking something.

She then purposely deepened her gaze towards him and said, "Y-you. Are you still not satisfied about me?" Completely diverting tactics to appease the devil, Laurice shamelessly pulled off a guilt trap instead. Her eyes moistened. She could pa.s.s as an actress for that quick reversal.

Sid's expression finally reverted back to it's natural state. He was now staring blankly at the woman who was h.e.l.l-bent on refusing to bed him. Well, he will not deny the fact for having the urge to take all of her at the moment, but he was not that heartless to just force it upon her. Making love for him is the most fulfilling when consensual. Besides, he wanted the woman to honestly desire him as well.

Mutual feelings, huh?

As if he cared about any of those before.

Sid then reluctantly released his grip from Laurice's body but felt tormented by the sudden lost of contact that his lower body quivered in tension. He winced as if in pain. That ... it seems his se*ual excitement is still present and that he's arousal needed an instant relief or else ...

Laurice noticed Sid's discomfort and did not know what to do for a second.

With furrowed brows, she grabbed him by the arm and asked, "What is it? Are you in pain?"

Feeling restless, Sid let out a half-hearted chuckle and grinned at the clueless woman. Grabbing her as well on her arm, he leaned over inadvertently brus.h.i.+ng his lower body against hers and whispered on her ears. "My love, would you be willing enough to help me if you knew?"

Laurice was too stunned to say anything.

First, she was surprised by the term of endearment he just used to call her for. Second, there is no need to mention that matter any further.

She casted a helpless glance towards him and hesitated for a moment. But one thing led to another.

Spontaneously, Laurice told him something he never would have expected hearing from her.

Biting her lower lip, Laurice murmured her a.s.sent which ended the conversation.

"I'll help you." She said rather innocently.

The man snapped.

F**k. That's it.

Argghh!

Laurice shrieked when Sid lifted her without permission, an inderscribable amount of thrill overcoming her.

Sid's face just turned another shade darker. It's the darkest during the day already. He gave the woman one brief, sharp and intense gaze before he literally swept her off of her feet and dashed out of the vicinity.

...

Laurice stiffened in Sid's arms.

Judging by the man's reaction, it seems she did something really terrible this time. Sid's expression was apprehensive, but he did not say anything, making her even more nervous. They threaded an opposite direction from where they came from before which surprisingly led to another private lift. Sid took her in in long strides as if he was in a hurry and as soon as the door closed, his lips already found hers and landed accurately kissing her full in the mouth.

Laurice moaned in pleasure.

Oh, no!

Is this her punishment from the devil?!

Why, she quite like it!

And it's getting really addictive.

...

Back in the luxurious private pool area.

At that exact same moment, the whole place oddly fell into an unbelievable silence. The type of quiet that is as still as the water underneath them. No one dared to speak. No one even moved a limb.

All the people around were completely stoked.

The show have ended so soon with a cliffhanger before their very eyes.

That beautiful couple just now ... were making out in public, weren't they?

All those in pairs felt their romance were lacking that same intensity and spontaneity that they've only seen in movies. The single ones on the other hand felt utterly defeated with envy. They grumbled in their hearts.

That shameless couples could not even find a decent place to argue and deal with their own matters with. Oh! Right! They just did. By leaving them all speechless behind. What would happened next though? They wondered as they gulped in antic.i.p.ation.

...

In another corner of the pool area,

A certain little young master was already sound asleep.

Butler Han sighed in resignation.

Little Louie had been sleepy moments ago that that he had gradually lose all his consciousness about what's happening around him until he drifted to his slumber. It seemed he had exhausted himself from all the previous walking and waiting.

It was quite fortunate, indeed!

Especially for a certain butler who had been put through an emotional rollercoaster.

What now? What to do?

Left with no other options, Butler Han booked a vacant unit in the building in his young master's name. He dared not return to the penthouse or else he might get himself killed if not kicked out.
