As she was holding onto her breath, and with widened eyes, Laila looked at Noah's half sleepy face as he continued to speak. In the same groggy voice he said, "Though I am not sure why you were playing the escaping game with me but two can play that game. I played along with your act from yesterday because I figured you were tired and I didn't plan on saying anything about it this morning either. But..." Noah lifted his body up from the bed and pulled Laila even closer, until their faces were only inches apart, before he continued in a deep voice, "...now that I had you within arms reach, and completely unaware as you whisper sweet things about me, I wasn't about to let you slip away a second time on me. So, I had to cut playtime short for an even better 'game'"
As he finished those words, he looked deep into Laila's eyes before he planted a kiss on her lips. Laila immediately felt her heart going wild as Noah's soft lips landed on hers. She was doing her best to stay strong, to not give into the kiss. This was because she knew that if she gave up on that fight, she would be done for. She would succumb to Noah and her plan from yesterday would be for nothing. Laila was counting each second that the kiss was lasting and with each passing second her defences became weaker and her restraint began to slip away. Just before the dizziness that resulted from this kiss managed to take over her completely, Noah's phone started to ring.
Though Noah managed to ignore the sound for short while, Laila patting her hands against his chest to tell him to let go and the continued ringing of the phone, caused him to stop his endeavours eventually. With an annoyed look on his face and a sigh of frustration he pushed his hair back with his fingers as he released his grip on Laila and reached for the phone on his nightstand. With an irritated phone he picked up the phone and said, "This had better be important or prepare yourself for a very long day as I make you repay each second of my time with twice its amount in minutes."
Laila had never heard Noah like this and was quite intrigued at seeing him act so stern. On the other side of the phone she heard the other person start laughing. Faintly she heard a man's voice say, "Did I disturb your private time with the missus? Sorry mate. I figured I had given you plenty of time during your 'workday' from home." While the man was talking, Laila slowly attempted to get off the bed in order to walk out of the room and give them some privacy and herself another escape. But before she had even placed one foot out of the bed, Noah caught her and with one reach of his long arms, he managed to pull her back into his embrace. As she looked up at him from behind, he placed a peck on the tip of her nose and whispered "No escaping today my dear."
Pressed against Noah's chest and caught in his long, broad arms, Laila no longer had a way to escape and could only use her time waiting to listen to Noah's conversation with the kind sounding stranger on the other side of the phone call. She heard him say, "I just called to check if you managed to finish the Jefferson file yesterday and if so, where on the company cloud you saved it. I need it for the file I am working on as we have that meeting with them today at ten."
Hearing that it was indeed important, Noah's face let up a bit and with another sigh he grumblingly answered the man's questions. Once he was finished the man poked a bit more fun as he said, "Good thing it was me who called you and not some poor fella from the team, hmm? Otherwise they would be sweating ice cubes from hearing their usually 'oh so kind' boss talk so sternly to them." Immediately Noah's annoyed facial expression returned as he said, "Didn't you claim to have some work to do? If so, stop bothering me and get your ass to work!" After saying these words, Noah hung up the phone and returned his focus to Laila. The defenceless prey he had caught and was ready to consume.
After he used his free arm to place the phone back on the nightstand, he returned his almond shaped, green eyes back onto her. With a dangerous look in his eyes he said, "So, my darling wife, where were we." Again, without giving her any time to answer he replied to his own question by saying, "Oh right, we were about to play a different 'game'. One I am very fond of and am an avid player in. Let's see how you'll rate my performance this time around." After these words, his lips immediately locked back onto Laila's. While Laila's mouth was covered by Noah's lips, his hands got started on uncovering her body. Expertly he untied her silk kimono robe, slipped off her camisole and before she knew it, she found herself underneath Noah and she had spent her second first night with Noah. Though first morning would be a better way to phrase it.
