Under His Protection

“Devil incarnate” Laura cursed under her breath as she stared at him with anger radiating over her features, so he had the nerve to smile at her like everything is perfectly fine? Like nothing happened back at her father’s palace?

“Didn’t I make myself clear last weekend that I don’t need a bodyguard?’ …. look Michael I’m sorry to tell you this, you just waste your time coming here. If I were you I’d head to my car and drive out of this premises” she hissed as she slam the door closed before her.

Michael shook his head at her action, “spitfire Laura” he chuckled as he made his way into her studio. He admire the coziness and beauty of laura’s magnificent studio which must have cost a fortune, he had always know her way back when he was her father’s bodyguard to be someone who had always wanted to be independent, he would never forget Laura ego and pride to make herself great from the scratch without the help of anyone, not even her multi billionaire father.

“Miss Laura” he advance further towards her while watching her reaction when he called her. “Go away Michael!” She instructed through clenched teeth as she glared at him acidly, “I can take care of myself, I don’t need you or anybody to protect me” despite her effort to push Michael away heat crept through her cheek as she was aware of his closeness to her.

‘why does this room suddenly feel smaller than usual for the both of us’ she sighed as she walked slowly away from Michael dangerous closeness trying to calm her wild heartbeat. “I won’t let him affect me!”

Michael moved closer to her as he sense her discomfort probably caused by his presence ‘does he still have effect on her like he does three years ago?” He wondered as his long strides towards are were slow, cautious and dangerous”

Laura from the corner of her eyes noticed Vanessa was unashamedly peeking from the inner door of the studio eagerly listening and watching their encounter.

“Didn’t I tell you a few days ago that I’m not going to anywhere Laura?

The way her name rolled out of his lip……….

“I’m here to stay, to watch over you, and to protect you”.

She threw an angry look at his direction thinking it would make him listen to her instruction and back off, Laura glanced at her assistant briefly who was shifting her eyeglasses beneath the bridge of her nose to watch them clearly. She sighed ” For the last time, go away’ she murmured quietly but with firm tone.

The unbelievable creature shocked her when she realize he was already standing next to her and as she turned their faces were only inch apart, she could see mischievousness glimming in his eyes with a gloaty smile fixed in his sinful mouth, Michael leveled his face so their lip were only a inch apart. Laura swore he could hear her heartbeat as her eyes lowered down starring at his georgous mouth.

“Why don’t you try to send me away Laura? Who knows you might succeed?”

The way he says her name makes jolt of desire run through her, Laura shiver at the reaction of her body just by merely calling her name, what if he……..

“Oh believe me’ she stated with every inch of arrogance in her voice, but when she remembered Vanessa who was still rooted to the spot watching she lowered her voice ” I will send you away” she smiled as she leaned further.

Michael blinked and withdraw from her quickly, his heartbeat increased twice as how it was….. What if her lip had touched his?

Laura is the only woman he can never resist no matter how strong will he is, and this is definitely not a good time to sit her ass on the studio table and those bad things his body was begging for.

Her heart nearly stopped from breathing when Michael who had regain composure leaned in and whispered something for her ears only while taking a quick glance at the woman peeping through the inner door “you can try ever day Laura, I’m here to stay and you should start getting used to my presence. I left you before Laura, I will not leave you again” Laura closed her eyes as she tried to keep her wild hormones and heartbeat in check.

“I hate this kind of feeling, why do I have this kind of response with man? ” I never experience this kind of body response to any man but him, God! I hate this feeling” she cursed inwardly.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Michael continued……”I will be at your side every seconds of the day starting from this moment” Laura gasped at how ticklish his breath feels in her ears but his words sounds more of a threat than promise.

“Not in this life time” she retorted as she finally had the courage to push him away from her view.

Michael smirked at her as his head turned to the direction of the woman in the inner room

“Who will help you with your stalker and the woman hiding in the other room listening to our conversation Laura”

How I want to do something violent to you right now” Laura stood firmly while tucking her slender arms in the middle of her chest. Michael smiled “I’m the only one who can overlook your lousy attitude and still protect you, his eyes travelled leisurely from her head to her toes as his gaze lingers on her pulp soft lip “to protect you from any harm Laura”

She could not help the blush that spread through her cheek. She was about to snap back when the studio door open “Laura?

The both turned to look who walked in, the playful glow in Michael eyes was suddenly replaced by chilling look directed towards the new customer, “who is this?” Michael asked darkly. Laura instinctively placed her hands on his arm probably to prevent him from attacking her friend.

“Japhet” she murmured a little out of her breath.
