Chapter 1594 I've Liked You for a Long Time
Laura awkwardly shrank her neck, determined not to admit her previous erotic thoughts. "You really thought of everything. I didn't even realize."
"I thought you wanted to have sex with me," Derek said, his smiling gaze drifting downward.
Laura instinctively covered her chest. Only then did she realize she wasn't wearing anything underneath, and with Derek's head above her and her clothes not fully buttoned, he could definitely see a bit of her chest.
Her face turned red, and she awkwardly tried to go find a jacket. "You sit here for a bit. I have something to do."
"Don't bother looking for clothes. I've already seen everything," Derek said, grabbing her arm to stop her from leaving.
Laura angrily punched his chest. "Pervert, how did you know what I was going to do?"
"Your face is so red, and your actions are so obvious. How could I not guess?" Derek laughed, hugging her. "Laura, sometimes you're like an open book to me."
"You're too smart. Sometimes it's really annoying," Laura huffed.
"No, it's just that you're too innocent in this regard and too easily embarrassed," Derek said, kissing her hair. "Sometimes you're as pure as a woman who's never been married or had kids."
Laura felt awkward. "Just because I've been married and had kids doesn't mean I have to be wild in that regard. I'm a woman; it's normal to feel shy in front of the opposite sex."
"I don't know about other women. I only know you, and I only see you."
Derek hugged her tightly, his chin resting on her head. "I got off work early today. I was planning to go home, but I missed you all day and couldn't resist coming to see you. Did you miss me?"
"I've been really busy," Laura said, not meaning it. "I have to meet the First Lady ofSerindale tomorrow. How could I have time to miss you?"
"My mom told me."
Derek picked up the documents from the floor. "Are you memorizing this?"
"Yes, it's hard to remember," Laura said, her face scrunched up.
"If you don't want to remember, just don't go to these events next time," Derek said.
"That's not good. Godmother is kindly taking me to gain some experience," Laura said, troubled. "The more people I know, the smoother it might be for my company's global promotion in the future. After all, it's my own company, and I can't rely on Cassie for everything."
"But didn't you say it's hard to remember?"
"It's hard, but back in school, those complicated biological names were even harder to remember," Laura said. "Besides, I'm still young, with endless possibilities in the future. A little effort is fine. And tonight, Godmother told me a lot. I really admire her. Even if I can't become like her, learning a bit of her demeanor would benefit me greatly."
Hearing this, Derek turned his head to look at Laura. Her beautiful, charming face showed admiration and longing that she herself hadn't noticed.
His heart stirred, and he smiled. "That's good. Learn more from my mom. Maybe when you become my wife, you'll handle things with ease."
"Narcissist, who wants to be your wife?" Laura rolled her eyes at him.
"But I want you to be my wife." Derek said, pressing her into his arms and kissing her.
Laura initially thought he would just kiss for a while, but soon she realized he had no intention of stopping.
"Stop it, I need to look at the documents. Don't distract me," she said, breathless, pushing him away.
"Those documents are too dull. You might as well ask me. I know more than what's in the documents," Derek said, kissing the Laura he had been thinking about all day.
"Then you have to tell me. What are you doing now?" Laura said, frustrated, biting him.
"Bite me, but if you draw blood, be careful my parents ask you about it tomorrow," Derek laughed. "I'll tell them I got hurt in your room."
Laura glared at him, almost in tears. "I don't want to talk to you anymore."
"I'll talk to you." Derek said, lifting her and placing her on the bed.
Laura was really scared. "No, really, no."
"Why not?" Derek said, untying his tie, his handsome face flushed. "Baby, I missed you. I've been thinking about you all day, missing you like crazy."
Laura felt weak under his gaze and stammered, "What's there to miss? We've already had sex. If you want to have sex, let's schedule a time to go to your apartment. This is the Presidential Palace. What if someone comes over? Maeve is still downstairs."
"I checked on my parents before coming here. They're already getting ready to rest and won't send anyone over. Maeve is being watched by Arabella, who already knows about us. She won't come up."
Derek kissed her lips repeatedly. "Don't waste time. The more we delay, the later I'll leave."
Laura cursed him in her heart for being so cunning. He had clearly prepared everything before coming in.
Now she couldn't escape.
But facing Derek's domineering kiss, she also felt a bit of desire.
Half pushing and half yielding, she had sex with him again.
Afterward, Laura lay on the bed, exhausted, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.
She felt very nervous throughout the entire process of making love because of the awkward location.
And because of the nervousness, it seemed inexplicably more exciting.
This feeling made both her and Derek finish relatively quickly. Of course, although the process was short, they were both satisfied.
She covered her face, feeling like she was becoming more and more depraved.
"Baby, you're so beautiful." Derek hugged her, planting affectionate kisses.
"Derek." Laura wrapped her arms around his neck. As he kissed her into a daze, he gently kissed her forehead and said, "Laura, you know, I've been eyeing this bed for a long time. Every time I come to see you, I tell myself that one day, I'll sleep here legitimately."
"So you've had these dirty thoughts for a long time," Laura said, pinching his cheek on purpose.
"No, it's because I've liked you for a long time." Derek said, hugging her tightly.
In this rare, beautiful moment, Laura didn't rush to push him away.
Since things had already come to this, she might as well wait a bit longer.
A minute later, Derek sat up. "Come on, I'll help you with the people you're meeting tomorrow."
"Are you familiar with them?"
"When I worked at the State Department, I got to know them a bit," Derek said with a smile. "I even met with the President and First Lady of Serindale with my dad yesterday."
"So you've already met the First Lady of Serindale. What kind of person is she?" Laura asked curiously.
Derek slowly shared his impressions and insights, then talked about some interesting stories from Serindale, some of which were quite funny.
It didn't take long for Laura to have a general impression of the people on the list.
