Once everyone gathered together in the living room, James resumed his silent persona. Everyone had come down with the exception of Ethan, Leanna and Jason. Laura, being the social butterfly that she was, was happily chatting with her girlfriends and the guys were all silently enjoying their drinks. It was a very warm and peaceful atmosphere.“By the way, what was up with that scandal with Jason and Jonathan?” Nancy asked Laura and Laura groaned as if she was reliving the embarrassment of that day. Not to mention Nancy, James had seen the articles after he had landed that day. He had just forgotten to ask her about it because of how busy he had been.“Who knew that these two were rivals?!” Laura started to complain.“I was just minding my own business when Jonathan came to chat me up, then Jason came and the two immediately started bickering like teenage boys. This is why they say fans should never meet their idols in person. You’ll just be disappointed!” Laura narrated and drank a lar

As James was kissing Laura, he noticed how she kept rubbing her thighs together. She still couldn’t get that image of him finishing out of her head, even though the whole ordeal was quite overwhelming.“Get up,” James ordered, and Laura did so cooperatively, only for him to pull her to sit on his lap and kiss her again. James kissed her like he wanted to swallow her into his body. He was clearly still unsatisfied, but they both knew that they had to go back to join the others soon.“Are you alright? Did I hurt you?” James asked against her lips as he used his free hand to stroke her cheek. Laura licked her slightly swollen lips and looked into his grey eyes.“I loved it,” Laura said with a reckless smile.“You are really going to drive me crazy one day,” James said, and pressed his lips against hers once more.“Speaking of, when are you going to take me to Emerald Edges?” Laura asked, making James chuckle.“Go freshen up,” James said to her as he looked at her reddened eyes, nose, and

“James,” Laura called desperately and hurriedly caught his hands. He was being mischievous again, and that made her feel nervous.“I thought you missed me,” he whispered from behind her before kissing her ear. She was sitting between his legs and hugged into his arms. His back blocked anyone from seeing what was going on between them, so James wasn’t worried, especially since the water was foamy from all the jets in the bathtub.“I did miss you,” Laura said and licked her lips nervously.“Are you scared you’ll be caught?” James asked her as he kissed her neck.“Or does the thought excite you?” he continued to ask, and Laura took a shaky breath before shaking her head.“What is it? You want me to stop?” James asked her.“No,” Laura said after a few seconds of silence.“If you want me to stop, just say so, okay?” James said and teasingly nipped on her ear.“Okay, Laura?” he repeated in a serious tone.“Yes, okay,” Laura answered breathily. She didn’t sound very reassuring. He didn’t wan

James downed a glass of gin in one go once he got to the bar. He was still thinking about what could have happened if he was inattentive earlier.“Pour me another one, fill the glass,” James said to the bartender, and the man filled his glass. Determined to refuse if he asked for another refill. Fortunately, James just left with his glass, went to pick up his shirt before going back to Laura.No matter how upset he was, he couldn’t leave her alone for long since she wasn’t feeling well. Laura saw James come back with a long face and pursed her lips together.The two have known each other for a few months now and this was the first time she saw James look so upset. She didn’t know what to do or how to approach him when he was like this.James sat down on the lounger and took a sip of his drink before placing it on the side table and turning to look at Laura. Her complexion was back to normal and the haziness in her eyes disappeared.He put his hand on her forehead to check her temperat

Laura walked out of the bathroom with a short towel tied to her chest and a larger one wrapped around her freshly washed hair. She thought James would be in the room, but he wasn’t. With a shrug of her shoulders, she went to the dressing room to get ready for bed.She put on a black silk slip and started drying her hair when she heard the door to the bedroom open and close again.“Where did you run off to?” Laura asked him as she turned off the blow drier.“Jason wanted to hire a person to manage the place, so he wanted to hear our input,” James said as he shrugged off his shirt.“Makes sense, since they were the ones running around this morning,” Laura said as she detangled her hair with her fingers.“Mmh, it’s not that serious since we have a membership in all these companies. You just have to give them a call and they’ll arrange everything. But having a person to supervise will be more convenient,” James said and kissed the side of her face before going to take a shower.Laura fini
