Chapter 169: Be with me
"Cut the crap,’’ Lu Xian looked at the woman with an undisguised threat in his eyes.
The woman raised her hand and waved at him lightly, ’’We will meet again, Mr. Lu.’’
...
When Daisy opened her eyes, she was greeted by the sight of unfamiliar walls. A beautiful glass chandelier was hanging in the middle of the ceiling, showering the room with a warm glow.
She had not lied when she told Ryle that she was tired. The moment she stepped inside Ryle’s car, she was feeling more drowsy. While he drove in silence, she just dozed off in the passenger seat.
’’You are awake.’’
Daisy’s head snapped to the side and she found Ryle sitting on the couch with a file in his hand.
Daisy nodded, ’’What’s the time?"
’’A few minutes past midnight. You can go back to sleep again. You still have to go to work tomorrow,’’ Ryle said and took his attention back to the file in his hand.
Daisy raised her brows, ’’I could have gone back to sleep but I am not sleepy.’’
Ryle paused and nodded, ’’Alright then, you take some rest. I will be in the next room.’’
Daisy blinked, ’’You booked two rooms?"
’’Yes.’’
’’You usually don’t do that,’’ she got off the bed and walked towards him, ’’Even at my home, you sleep in my room, and my bed.’’
Ryle did not meet her gaze.
Daisy sat beside him, ’’You destroyed the flowers that were sent for me, Mr. Harper?"
At the mention of that, Ryle’s face darkened and his face immediately whipped to her side, ’’Why do you want his flowers? If you like flowers, tell me and I will build you gardens. Don’t want flowers from other men. They will never reach you.’’
’’Oh,’’ Daisy blinked and leaned closer to him, ’’So, you are admitting that the reason Lu Xian’s flowers did not reach me was you?"
Ryle’s lips thinned. Of course, good for him that he had been staying in the Chen Mansion for the past few days hence the moment that bastard sent some daisies with a corny note over to the mansion, Ryle had no hesitation in throwing them in the garbage.
’’They were hideous,’’ he said with a straight face.
’’Were they?" For a moment, Daisy had thought that the flowers Lu Xian was talking about were the ones she assumed were from Ryle. But then, he said that he sent flowers to the mansion and she had received Ryle’s flowers at the office. Even Angel got a mini bouquet of edible flowers. She knew that only Ryle could be so elaborate with things and he knew Angel’s preferences so closely.
’’Yes, they were,’’ Ryle emphasized, ’’And why are you addressing him so intimately?"
’’How should I address him then?"
Ryle’s eyes narrowed.
’’Certainly not like I am not the only person who belongs to you,’’ he rasped.
’’You belong to me?" she questioned him, looking straight into his eyes.
Ryle looked away, unable to hold her gaze for long.
Daisy inched closer to him and raised her hand to his face. She placed her palm on one side of his face and nudged it gently.
When Ryle looked into her eyes again, her face enlarged in front of him as she leaned closer.
’’Ryle, are you... jealous?" Daisy mumbled, her curious gaze tracing over his features as if to figure things out, ’’...of Lu Xian?" she added when his facial muscles did not move in the slightest.
Ryle’s jaws clenched, ’’Do not take his name like that,’’ he breathed by her lips.
’’Pfft...’’ Daisy’s hand slipped from his face as she laughed.
Ryle was stunned.
She leaned back on the couch, smiling till a drop of tear escaped the corner of her eyes.
He raised his hand and wiped the drop of tear from her eyes, stroking her face gently.
’’You are so beautiful,’’ he whispered when she stopped laughing and looked at him instead, ’’And so mine,’’ his eyes turned possessive.’’
Daisy removed his hand from her face and the light in his eyes dimmed.
But in the next moment, she climbed on him, kneeling on the couch and positioning her knees on either side of his legs.
The way she looked at him made something melt inside him. Her gaze was so different, so decisive and sincere this time.
Daisy cupped Ryle’s face and one of his arms wrapped itself around her waist.
’’Be with me...’’ her thumb stroked his cheekbones while the other hand slowly moved to the back of his head, fingers raking inside her, ’’...for as long as it is possible for us,’’ she pecked his lips lightly.
Ryle’s breathing quickened just as the pace of his heart. His eyes were filled with adoration and allure.
Fuck, he knew. He always knew that this woman was the death of him.
’’Darling, there is no impossible. I will eliminate the slightest speck of impossibility of us if it exists,’’ As soon as his words dropped, he captured her leaps in a searing kiss. Her back arched as leaned her chest into him.
Daisy hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him back with the same intensity. Ryle flipped their positions and pinned her down on the couch. His palm cupped the back of her head as he let go of her lips. He gazed at her with a desire so raw that her hands that had wrapped themselves around his neck tightened.
Ryle leaned in and kissed her eyes softly before his lips trailed downwards.
He paused near her neck.
Daisy could feel his warm breath caressing her neck gently. The man did not approach nor did he retreat and she felt an impatient urge to pull him close; the closer she could get him to be.
And she did that. Daisy raised her legs and wrapped them around Ryle’s waist, hoisting her hips up till there was no gap between their lower bodies.
Ryle groaned, his fingers curling into a tight fist as he raised his head to look at her, "What are you doing...?" His breathing was raspy.
She looked back at him quietly, almost innocently, as if he was blind enough to not see that glint in her eyes.
Such a seductress Daisy Chen was and the fact that only he got to see that side of her. Only him.
The possessiveness that swept over him made him bite her neck. He bit it so hard that a moan slipped out of the stubborn woman’s mouth.
Daisy could see his lips curling up slightly before he dove in deeper into her neck, biting and sucking alternatively. His hips moved as well and even through the layer of clothes, Daisy felt a jolt in her body.
"Ryle... you..."
Ryle paused in his actions and looked up at her, "I am hard and you are very much aware of who is responsible for this, are you not?"
Heat rose her face her cheeks turned red gradually.
Ryle held her hand and guided it to his pants. He did not unzip his pants nor did he unbuckle his belt but his hand that was holding hers moved softly and Daisy could feel his hardness against her palms.
Her throat ran dry and she moved her fingers, caressing him gently.
Ryle cursed under his breath and moved her naughty hand away, pinning it above her head to stop her movements.
"Kiss me..." Daisy whispered.
As if it was even possible, Ryle felt his dick throbbing even more as if it had a consciousness of its own. The bastard was so obedient to Daisy that it almost seemed to stand and sit at her command. She pushed him away and it would be down and when she pulled him in, it would be roaring and hard within an instant.
The torment that it was yet somehow he liked it that way.
For as long as he could remember, it had been like this. Since the very first time he kissed her, his dick and he were both immensely and irrevocably loyal to her. The sight or even the mere thought of any other woman was a put off to me.
"Ryle, kiss me..." Daisy spoke up again, sounding almost frustrated as she thought that the man did not hear her words.
And Ryle’s lips curved up. Not giving her the mere chance to complain once again, he cupped her face and dove in for lips. He kissed her gentler at first but then with a gradating passion that increased with every stroke of her lips.
Daisy’s eyes turned misty and she closed them, hugging his back and pulling him into her, her nails dug into his back and her legs clung to his torso tighter.
