She watched the man lied next to her as a smile bloomed into spring across her facial features. She gently trailed her fingers alongside his jawline to his broad shoulders, before back to his enticing lips that beckoned her to kiss him. Gosh! She never had enough of him, though last night they were making love a couple of times before both of them exhausted in delirious state.
Her fingers at the end find their ways downward to his abdomen and hips. She gently caressed his skin that she could feel it tightening by her touch. She didn't stopped there. Her fingers slowly marveled his skin further southward that she came to his manhood.
It might because of her gently touch that it reacted in a matter of seconds and started to hardened. Rose gasped in surprise when she felt it poked her fingertips. A mischievous smiled played on her face as she thought of naughty thoughts.
Her fingers slowly wrapped around his bulge and caressed it that an audible sexy groan escaped from Jude's lips. Jude jerked awake and swiftly caught her lips and crashed his own onto hers, dived into a sexy swirl. Rose looked at him with her playful smiling eyes while her naughty fingers continued to torment him with the pleasure.
"Honey…" his voice trailed as a wave of ecstasy hit him hard that he groaned but soon his lips sealed by a soft-petal lips that sent a tremor of excitement into his soul.
"Shhh… Don't speak," Rose pushed him down, lying flat with his back on the bed while she flipped over and straddled him. She leaned forward with her evil smile. As she inched closer to his lips, she inhaled his masculine scent with her eyes closed, totally enjoying it. She even nibbled his nape and earlobes that Jude became heated and she was driving him crazy with each seduction she executed towards him.
"I never knew I could feel this much, it's crazy and insane the way you make me feel since the first time I met you," she whispered softly next to his ears.
"And right now, right at this moment, I want to marry you Mr Jude Townshend," she huskily whispered her words, clear and loud to his ears that Jude couldn't content his happiness. He kissed her hard. He didn't realize that Rose had took off her sleeping robe, totally naked and without warning, she dived in to the world of delirium in love making.
With the sweat drenched both of them, Rose gasping for some air. A content smile flashed across her glowing and radiant face. Jude rolled over, with one arm supported him, he caressed her sweaty skin, a smile blooming.
"Why don't we go to Civil Affairs Department to register our marriage this morning?" He proposed, still stroking gently her skin. Rose closed her eyes for a while, before she answered, "Today I can't, I have a meeting with Mr Park regarding the new business proposal." Jude was a little bit disappointed with her reasoning. Uh, nevertheless, tonight, he is going to propose her.
Few moments later.
"Shall we grab our breakfast together?" she asked once she settled in the car. Then she glanced at her watch before commented, "I still have an hour before the contract signing," she smiled sweetly at him that it was hard for him to resist her charms.
"Sure. Where to?"
"Seung-Gi Restaurant. I missed their Bulgogi Noodle," Then off they went to Seung-Gi Restaurant.
Right after they finished their breakfast, Jude dropped her at Smith Corporation. Right when she was turning around to the entrance, a man called her. She looked over her shoulder and saw it was Director Mike. She smiled and gestured him to come forward.
"Morning Miss," he smiled politely.
"Morning Mike,"
"You look radiant and glowing today. Any good news?" Rose chuckled at the way he speculated her looks.
"You look dashing as well. Any good news?" she mimicked his stance with a smiling eyes. Mike gave out heartily laugh upon hearing the way she mimicked him.
"You sure know how to liven to the atmosphere. Which why I have this urge to come closer to you," he casually remarked which caused Rose to be taken aback slightly. Somehow she managed to smile awkwardly at her director of creativity, Mike Willis.
"Ah… anyway, please bring Mr Park to my office later. We will be signing the contract in my office." She reminded him before entering her private elevator. Mike Willis bowed his head before he turned to employee's elevator.
At Townshend Tower.
"Oh my god! Boss is extremely handsome today! It is a shame that he is soon to be other's man." The ladies in the Townshend company started to lament.
"Is it the same lady? Miss Rose Smith?"
"You mean the one that came here not long ago?"
"Yep, that's the one. Ohhh… They are a match made in heaven!"
"You don't say it. At least she's a match. A CEO herself, beautiful and sophisticated." And the gossips went on while the party involved wore an extremely dashing and suave expression that ooze sexiness from within.
"How does the arrangement go?" his steps were firm and solid, befitting his previous job – a soldier. Tony who trailed behind him answered him shortly, "It is done captain. I even asked Leah and Jeremy to help with the settings. And Abigail too. She was excited to help out." When Jude heard it, he shook his helplessly. His sister Abigail, always had different thinking than the rest and he always curious as to why.
"How about Mike Willis? Did you find out anything?" he asked next as he took off his blazer and hooked it on the exquisite hook. Tony passed a folder to him before starting his report.
"He was recruited by Mr James Smith six years ago right after he was dispelled from army. It was said that he became a director when George served as a standing-in CEO and – "
"Wait, what did you say just now? George is a standing-in CEO?" Jude looked at him. His eyes sparked with interest on the new-found fact. Then who was supposedly be the CEO?
"Yes captain. Apparently he was not the real CEO. Mr James only assigned him as a standing-in CEO." Tony reported to him. Jude touched his chin, deep in his thinking. This was weird. It was a norm to have the son to become the CEO instead of being standing-in CEO.
"I need you to investigate this matter further. There's some suspicious matters regarding this. And- oh, please do it discreetly. We don't want to alert the enemy," he stated with a as-a-matter-factly tone. He then dismissed Tony and swiftly fished out his phone and sent a message to his love.
'I'll pick you up later. FYI: I miss you already.' Sent.
He smiled all the day whenever he recalled the conversation that took place earlier that morning. Even up to this moment, he could still feel the way she feel, the way she touched him. It sent a sense of belonging. His.
Later that evening.
Rose just stepped out of the elevator when an enormous rose bouquet presented right in front of her. Her heart swelled with the happiness as she took the bouquet and found her way into Jude's embrace. Little did she realise her employees were all stunned, except for few people: Paul who seemed to know about the scene, Steve who was seethed with anger and envy and, last but not least, Mike Willis who watched the scene from the third floor with an envy gaze.
The oblivious young miss CEO didn't pay much attention to her surroundings. What matter most was the ma in front of her. This was the very first time Jude came to her company with one big rose bouquet.
"You're here!" she exclaimed happily. Jude wrapped his arms around her waist and gave her a peck on the forehead, eyes literally closed as to convey his deepest feeling to her.
"I miss you," he huskily whispered to her ear that made her lips curved upward, beaming with happiness. "Let's go. I need to bring you to somewhere else," he added next and walked with her in his arm.
"Er… what are we doing here?" she questioned him curiously when they arrived at Queenie Majestic Gallery. It had been ages since the last time she came here to visit her precious gallery. The busy schedules that she had at the company really made her unable to come here. Jude patted her head lovingly.
"We need to go somewhere after this. But before that, I need you to dress up and I think this is the best place for you to get ready. I'll be here waiting for you," he replied her and quickly ushered her to enter. Rose nodded her head knowingly without doubting him.
"Boss!" her employees – Leah, Jeremy, Ellie and Stephanie greeted her in unison as soon as she entered the gallery. Her eyes were brimmed with tears looking at one and each of them.
"You all still here?" She asked them as they swarmed around her in which in the end she gave them one big hug.
"Mr Jude Townshend called in earlier and request us to help you with the dress and make up," Leah answered her and brought her to the make up room. There she saw a magnificent glittering off-shoulder low back red dress on a mannequin. She glanced at Leah, speechless.
"Quick, put it on. Ellie will help with the make up." Rose finally relent and let them do their job which thousand thoughts rushed into her head. By the time they finished with her make up and hairdo, it was already thirty minutes past seven.
Jude was momentarily stunned by her breathtaking appearance that took away his breath. He walked to her and gently pulled her into his arms. Looked deeply into her eyes.
"You are beautiful…" Rose stared back into his eyes with a smile on her lips.
"You are dashing too…" Jude wore a black suit that matched her dress.
"But I wonder why did we need to dress to the nine," she was still curious. It was as if something big going to happen. Her heart beating fast. Is he going to propose tonight?
"Come, we should get going," Instead answering her, Jude urged her to move.
