Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 295: Dangerous Request

"It's not that I think you are lying, but it feels like I have an unending workload that's all," Laura said trying to sound casual but James was listening to what she was saying and was not paying much attention to her tone of voice.

"Do you want to stop?" James asked. He was listening to her and his face did not have a trace of annoyance or anger.

"Ah, no, that's not what I'm saying. I know this is a necessary process, I just can't properly complain if I have to explain to people why I'm complaining it would completely ruin my mood." Laura said.

James understood she was not complaining to him as if he was her boss, but it was more of how one would complain to their partner. However, since he was in a position where he could change her current situation, he couldn't help but ask her.

"I know. Come here," James said and pulled her to him, making her sit on his lap. It was the first time she ever did something like this so Laura's reaction was very interesting to watch.

If Jen saw this, she would find this scene eerily familiar since not only has she experienced it with Lucas, but she has also seen Noah do this with Hellen before.

"You've worked hard," James said after Laura hesitantly rested her head on his shoulder. He knew it was especially hard for her because disregarding the workload, the amount of self-discipline she needed to maintain her body and looks alone was exhausting.

Her skin always needed to look perfect and even if she did not need to worry about gaining weight, there are foods that would make her bloated so she had to be extra careful with whatever she put in her body.

He knew there were days she wouldn't eat or drink anything and would just have a few sips of water, especially when she had shoots that involved sportswear and swimwear, and before the change in seasons summer fashion.

So he knew that she was very stressed out. It was a surprise that she hadn't lashed out at her staff because the other models would get very irritable after just a few weeks of living in such conditions.

Laura felt shook to her core when she heard what he said. Everyone would talk about the money she's getting and how it's worth it to experience these moments of hardship. They were actually oblivious of how reality played out.

Since James could immediately realise what she had wanted to hear really made her feel like he understood what she had wanted to say with no need for her to say it. Her tense body finally relaxed, and she wrapped her arms around his firm torso.

"I'll definitely take you to all those places I said I would. So just bear with it for a while longer, okay?" James said as he rolled a lock of her hair around his finger. Laura looked up at him from her position and he returned her gaze.

His grey eyes looked intense as they made contact with hers. Laura then raised one of her hands and cradled his face in her palm.

"How can you be so good-looking?" she asked as her eyes roamed his face. James was not expecting her to say something so cheesy so after a moment of surprise he ended up smiling. It wasn't one of his mocking or sarcastic smiles, but a genuine smile that revealed the tiny dimples at the bottom corners of his mouth.

"I want to kiss you," Laura said as she stared at his smiling lips that revealed his white straight teeth.

James did not wait for her to say anything else and just dipped his head and kissed her soft lips. Laura immediately draped her other arm over his shoulder and sat straighter. James held the back of her head and deepened the kiss, his tongue slipping in her mouth. As surprised as Laura was, the last thing on her mind was putting up some resistance.

Laura hesitantly responded to his kiss as she was not sure about what exactly she needed to be doing. James gently nipped her bottom lip as if to encourage her and Laura hesitantly poked out her tongue which became immediately tangled with his.

Laura was completely intoxicated. It wasn't just the kiss, but the fact that he tasted like wine, and also how he had his clean masculine scent even though he used her products when he showered. It was the fact that even though he was not caressing her; she felt the goosebumps on her skin rise just from the kiss.

It was the way her heart pounded away uncontrollably from both excitement and anticipation. It all felt too much so while Laura was carried away, an involuntary moan escaped her lips.

Startled by her own actions, Laura almost stopped, but it seemed like her moan had encouraged someone else as James' free hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to him. In short, Laura did not have the chance to think about her own embarrassment.

As the kiss continued, Laura became more bold and confident as she reciprocated everything that had been done to her.

"You're a quick learner Laura," James said his voice sounding deeper than usual as he kissed down her jaw towards her neck making Laura release a soft whimper as she was trying her best to stop herself from moaning out loud.

"James I-," Laura started to say, but James suddenly interrupted her.

"Shh, if you keep talking I'll lose whatever little restraint I'm exercising," James said referring to how her voice was trembling. Laura's condition was no better than his at all seeing that he did not stop kissing her neck or how the way his breath caressed the skin on her neck making her feel a tingling sensation throughout her body.

Laura did not know what exactly she was experiencing since this was a first for her. But even though she did not hate it, she felt very frustrated.

"James, just touch me," Laura said breathlessly.

James immediately stopped doing what he was doing and tugged the hair on the back of Laura's head before looking at her. Grey eyes met green ones and a smile that could be described as sinister appeared on his face, making Laura unconsciously swallow.

"That's a very dangerous request Laura," James said as he moved his hand from the back of her head to caress her cheek with his thumb. Laura also realised the weight of what she had just said in a moment of passion her face turned an interesting shade of red.

"If you look at me like that I really don't think I'll be able to help myself," James said as the thumb that was caressing her cheek caressed her plump lower lip.

"Look at me Laura," James said and Laura looked up at him.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" James asked once more as he used his index finger to lift her chin, not knowing how much his actions were actually arousing her.

"Touch me, please," Laura answered eliciting a low chuckle from James.
