Under His Protection

Michael mother eyed him from head to toe, ” really? Have you forgotten that iam your mother?” She asked simply, ” If newspaper article filled with news far and wide didn’t carry the news about the jilted filncee of the Van-Lerie heiress wasn’t enough, iam sure I would recognize that pretty face anywhere since she resemble her socialite mother.

Your younger sisters might have no idea who she is, but not me, I recognize her the moment she walked into the kitchen this morning”

“Mom….”

“Aren’t you afraid that the most feared man throughout the country will surely have your head after this?” His mother said with anguish, her eyes filled with despair, ” iam afraid that Jadua’s men will come after you, after this stunt you pulled in”.

Michael groaned, blocking the pain he saw in his mother’s eyes, ” iam not afraid of him mother, besides I never regret my decision even for once. Mother, I love Laura so much and I believe she loves me too since we are going to have a baby soon”

His mother shook her head, ” so you were not lying while ago about her being pregnant? Are you guys really married as you claim?”

“Not yet mother” Michelle confined to his mother truthfully, ” iam going to marry her mother, I will ask her father for permission afper the uproar had calm down a bit”

“Do you think he will agree to this union Michael, don’t you see that the Jadua’s are very wealthy and influential? We all know they they both want a man of thesame status as them for their daughter”

“Ma, I know that iam miles away from their status, but iam hoping that Jadua will see that I love his daughter more than anything”

He heard his mother sighed deeply and walked out of the kitchen.

************

It’s been a week since Michael took Laura to his hometown, in they short period of time she got to know his mother and his adorable teen sisters who accepted her as their brother’s wife in no time, during those days they often give them enough space always claiming they wanted visit a good friend or Michael’s aunt nearby town.

Laura thinks they were just doing that so she and Michael would have some time alone.

Two days ago, Michael and her went to see the local doctor and have her first check-up, her heart was thumping in her chest as she lay on the bed as the doctor examined her, the woman reassured Laura they the baby was doing fine and seems to be healthy inside her womb, they couldn’t be happier at the news that when they got home they told his family about the news, they were so delighted.

“Where do you think they went to today?” She asked, when the room was silent indicating they all left the house again.

Michael looked at her with a boyish grin on his handsome face, ” who cares baby? As long as they are not bothering us, iam fine with this setup”

Laura threw a disapproving frown in his direction, she could not help but feel guilty about the issue, she knew they might be doing this so she and Michael would have time alone but she could not help but wonder if they are fine while waiting for dinner time so they could come home.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Don’t worry about them baby….”

He surprised her when he suddenly scooped her out of her chair and placed her on his lap, Laura tried to look horrified, ” Michael!…”

“What?” He had the nerve to ask so innocently, ” my family are not around, this should be fine. I have been wanting to do this since we arrived here, there has been no improvement in our relationship since NYC days”

Laura eyed him shrewdly, ” and whose fault is that? Since we arrived here you didn’t make a move on me again, I thought you are embarrassed to your family”

“You’re pregnant” he said reasonably, ” I tried my best to keep my hand off you because I have to since you are carrying my baby and I don’t want to harm our child”

Laura stared at him for a moment before bursting out laughing, ” didn’t you listen to the doctor during our first scan? I don’t have a high risk pregnancy, so making love won’t do any harm to the baby” Laura looked up heavenward feeling shy about their conversation, ” Jesus! Now I sound like iam seducing you, which iam not”

Michael grinned devilishly in her direction, he tightened his arm around her waist as he drew her closer to his body, ” I don’t you seducing me for a change my darling”

“No” she refused him flatly, though her eyes danced with delight seeing his reaction, ” I don’t want to seduce you in a broad daylight, what If your neighbor sees us? It will be so embarrassing”

“What about tonight?” He suggested with thesame devilish glint in his eyes. Laura looked at him coyly,” they can be arranged I think”

“Then we better Change the topic now” Michael said, burrying his face in the hollow of her neck, ” if we don’t stop this kind of conversation right this moment a member of my anatomy will wake up and we don’t want that”

Laura shifted in her position on his lap to look directly in his eyes, ” what do you want?”

“Oh God!…. please don’t move like that Laura” Michael pleaded softly, his eyes held unholy fire in their depth, ” iam warning you, if you continue to tease me like they I will not wait until tonight, now can we please change the topic?

Laura stared at him for a moment, she saw in his eyes that he was being serious about the warning and it kind of exite her, she was really excited at the thought of when they were going to make love again after how many weeks, Laura tried to vanish those thoughts out of her head, ” why did you become bodyguard?”

To Laura, it seems her questions which was directed towards Michael caught him off gaurd as he stared at her for a moment before answering, ” I actually wanted to be a policeman, I already finished my training but when my dad died of heart failure, I tried to provide for my family. An offer from the academy asked me if iam interested in becoming the bodyguard of a certain prominent man….” He gave Laura a speaking glance, and continue, ” … No one could resist the large salary he offered, so I accepted”

Laura raised an eyebrow, ” You mean my father is your first employer?”

“Yes, I became more of his driver and P. A, doing errands for him than actually being his bodyguard” he confessed with a smile on his face, clearly Laura could see that he has high respect for her father.

“No wonder both of you got along so well, I know my father likes you alot”

Michael smiled at her with gleaming eyes, ” why don’t you get dressed, I want to take you somewhere special my princess”

Laura lifted her eyebrow in his direction, ” And where would that be mister?”

He dipped his head and placed a chaste kiss on her mouth, ” it is a secret, but I think you will love it”

“Now Iam getting curious” Laura said seductively, tracing his buttom lip with her thumb, she couldn’t miss the way his eyes darkened.

“Careful now my princess” Michael warned again, biting her finger playfully, ” didn’t I tell you not to play with fire?”

“Noted sir” she chuckled as she stood up from his lap to chnage into a suitable outfit for the mysterious trip, deep inside Laura was excited about wherever he would be taking her to.
