The Law of Attraction

Lana was sulky all evening but she tried to not let it show. She was annoyed with Sarah and she wanted to ask Liam about her while they were having dinner but she did not want to look very clingy.

In the middle of the dinner, she still could not help, and with a quizzical smile casually asked, "Is Sarah new in the company?"

"Not really, it had been almost six months since she joined. She's one of my key persons right now. One of the best like Daryl… Or more like Luo. I'm glad someone like her entered after Luo left. She's a good asset who has a heart towards the firm," Liam answered before he drank some water.

"More like someone who has a heart towards you…" Lana snorted with twitched lips.

"What?!" Liam burst.

Lana gave him a poker smile and said, "Nothing… That's good then. It's good to have key people working with their hearts for you. I wonder though… She was too concerned and seemed to be pretty interested to warn me about you?"

Liam's eyebrows lifted up and asked, "Warned you against me? About what?"

Lana knew she was behaving like a snitch or ratting out someone but she wanted to see Liam's expression that was why she decided to mention what happened in the washroom.

"She said… You will just take revenge on me and after you're done teaching a lesson to me… maybe satisfied with your punishment, then you will also leave me suddenly one day like how I left.

Such an interesting thinking right that does not suit your personality," Lana commented, looking intently at Liam who met her probing eyes nonchalantly.

"You are entitled to your own opinion, Lana just the way Sarah is also entitled to her own. If you're afraid and worried… the door is always open for you to run away from me if you're scared of my revenging you.

I told you, I'm not responsible for your actions and emotions, I may or may not end up going back to where we were one year back." Liam simply commented before he stood up and added, "Thank you for the dinner. I will leave first."

Lana's face fell and her hands curled up in a fist. She felt extremely angry and acted as if she was about to throw her spoon on Liam's back when Liam suddenly turned around. Lana paled and immediately put it down and with a sweet smile asked, "Yes?"

Liam tried his best not to laugh and said, "I prefer that you bring food that you have personally cooked next time if you plan to give a surprise visit like that."

That was all and he turned around to walk directly to his room.

"What's with him? He's been confusing me with opposite statements every other day… Throwing such cold words at first and then suddenly saying things like that as if he wants me to surprise him often, and that too with the food I myself cooked for him," Lana agonized. She hated how Liam was praising that bit*h, Sarah, in front of her.

She stood up and immediately cleaned up the dishes with still flaring nostrils.

"Asset? Key people? I bet I'm way better than her. Maybe I should go back to being a lawyer and make a name here in this country instead and show her she is nothing in front of me. I can slay that cunning witch Sarah, any moment I want!" she murmured as she cleaned the table.

She then realized she was going overboard. She was so annoyed and irritated that she did not want to sleep with Liam that night. But then after a few more minutes she calmed herself down and thought she should not let her annoyance and irritation consume her or it would affect negatively in achieving her goal.

After some more minutes of calming herself down, Lana walked to Liam's room to brush her teeth and changed into her nightgown. She joined him on the bed but this time she did not move closer to Liam and turned her back on him.

She wondered what Liam would do, she was not expecting anything at all, and honestly, she even expected the worst, like Liam not caring for her at all. With her mind full of various such depressing thoughts she fell asleep fast.

Meanwhile, Liam who was still awake looked at Lana's back. He thought Lana would sleep in the other room since she donned that poker smile during dinner and he could sense she was annoyed. He smiled looking at her posture trying to keep herself away from him.

'Look at her giving me her back view,' he silently complained. Once he confirmed that she was sleeping with her little snores, Liam moved closer and wrapped his arm on her waist then buried his face into her nape, inhaling her scent.

He was curious if Lana would believe what Sarah said. He suddenly got worried. What if Lana gave up easily or ran away from him again? He could not help but get scared again. But then he should face it… But he was still hoping Lana would still strongly fight for him and somehow believed in what they had…

'Doesn't she know me better than Sarah? She must know that I'm not that type of person who would use her body to only leave her afterward?' he mused.

He then buried his face more on her nape and hopefully thought, 'Please don't disappoint me and just stay by my side no matter what anyone says, because I'm not telling you to leave or get out of my life Lana. I may hurt you at times but it would never mean that I want you to leave me ever. I just want to know your capacity as well in staying and fighting for me…'

He soon closed his eyes and dozed off to sleep.

Lana woke up after a few hours and noticed that Liam was hugging her from behind.

"What is this? Did you miss my warmth?" she whispered, utterly pleased feeling Liam's closeness.

She moved and turned around so she could stare at his peacefully sleeping face. She could not help herself at all as she leaned to capture Liam's inviting lips that she bit them a little, waking him up.

Liam opened his eyes and Lana smiled widely as she directly whispered, "Sorry, I woke you up. I want you."

Liam parted his lips to speak but Lana plunged on it, kissing him hungrily. He was sleepy but because of her sudden attack, he was now wide awake and answered her demanding kiss with utmost pleasure.

"I will have to give in to your demand since I'm not a sissy and you're damn hot and beautiful that it's too hard to resist…" Liam whispered as his hands started their way to his favorite places, Lana's private and sensitive spots.

"I told you… You can have me as long as you want. Whenever and wherever… I'm always yours…" Lana gasped followed by satisfied m.o.a.ns.

No words were spoken after that but just two souls who once again intimately joined as one, enjoying the pleasure they were having in each other's arms.
