Chapter 48

"Well, maybe a kiss will help me to focus more on the job, encourage me. Your kiss has a magical effect on me, you know?" Henry persuaded. "It will also put me in a good—"0

"—Mood," Henry was in shock for a moment when the gentle kiss registered in his mind. He didn't actually think that Kate would kiss him, albeit only on the cheek. He couldn't focus on driving anymore. His mind was occupied with a kiss just now.

So he parked his car at the side of the street and turned his entire body towards Kate instead, "You—do you know what you did just now?"

Kate's cheeks reddened. She crossed her arms over her chest and squeezed her breasts tightly with her arms as she tried to endure the embarrassment, "Don't misunderstand. I'm doing that as a reward for doing a great job to encourage you. Next time, I won't—Ah—mfh!"

Kate was caught off guard when Henry suddenly kissed her on the lips. She struggled for a few seconds, but her defense quickly fell once she began to accept and simply enjoy the kiss.

Their light kiss turned into a deep and passionate one, as his tongue pried open her mouth and explored her inside. Henry pressed deeper into Kate while the latter draped her arm around his neck, moaning as she drowned in the pleasure. 

Eventually their lips parted and they ended the kiss, their eyes met but they said nothing as Henry simply watched and marveled at his woman's skin that had turned peach pink after their passionate kiss. 

Kate's chest raised and fell as she took deep breaths. She was still trying to process what had just happened. 

"Do you want to take this further?" Henry asked. His eyes went down, and his hand started undoing the first two buttons of Kate's blazer, giving him an arousing glimpse of her white bra underneath. 

"It's been a while since the last time we did it," Henry said as he continued unbuttoning until Kate's white blouse was completely undone and her bare stomach and bra clad chest were exposed to him. He swallowed and leaned forward, peppering Kate's neck, collarbone, and the upper part of her breasts with kisses.

He wanted to leave a mark on her body, he wanted to ensure that Kate knew that he had no intention of letting another man see or touch her sweet skin. He wanted Kate to remember what they had done every time she saw her body in the mirror.

Kate snapped out of her daze when she realized Henry had started sucking the area around her breast, wanting to leave a hickey. She pushed Henry's head away and said, "Not now, Henry."

Henry was annoyed when Kate suddenly refused. Obviously, both of them enjoyed being intimate with one another. 

Thus, he stopped nibbling and lifted his head, glancing at Kate, who was trying to push him away, "Why not?"

"Why not? Because it's the middle of the day, we're in your car, and we are in a public place with a crowd outside! What if someone sees us like this?!" Kate yelled while pointing out the obvious. Henry finally looked around and saw that people had already gathered around the car as they were amazed by it. 

Henry clicked his tongue. He was visibly annoyed by the crowd around his car. 

Usually, he couldn't care less about the crowd as he got used to it each time he went out in his own car. 

But this was a different case. Though the windows were heavily tinted, he didn't want anyone to accidentally see his woman exposed like this. 

He quickly pulled Kate's blazer to cover her chest and then sat straight again. 

He tried to ignore the obvious discomfort on his crotch and slammed on the car horn a few times to disperse the crowd before driving off again. 

Kate straightened herself, buttoning up her shirt and sitting upright, acting as if nothing had happened. 

She wouldn't lie. She was actually in the mood right now, but her logic preceded desire.

Her body felt so warm that she felt like melting each time his lips made contact with her skin and as his hands wandered all over her body. She didn't know if it was just the side effect of being overworked or because they were so physically compatible, or maybe it was the pregnancy messing with her hormones that a simple touch from him would send her into a heat. 

She glanced at Henry, who seemed to be annoyed because their intimate moment was  cut short. He used his free hand to adjust his raging erection because it was starting to get uncomfortable down there. When Kate saw the obvious bulge under his pants, her cheeks reddened even more. 

"You should do something to that thing down there," Kate coughed. "It's too obvious."

"And do you want to help me?" he said as he gritted his teeth.

"N—No, you're on your own!" Kate yelled. She was scared they might go to the nearest hotel and do something very unprofessional. 

"You can drop me at the corner of the street, let me use Taxi instead," she told him as she tried to avoid such an incident.

"Just tell me where you want to go. I'll drive you there," Henry offered. He thought that Kate wanted to have lunch together, so they could spend more time together.

Surprisingly, she actually told him an address to a branch of Bank of America. 

"Why do you want to go there? Is there something wrong with your bank account?" Henry asked curious as to why Kate had to go to a bank, but Kate returned the banter with a hostile tone instead.

"It's none of your business. Just drop me there, and you can go your own way, I'm sure you have other things to do."

"Huh? Are you sure you don't want me to come along?"

"No need, it's a private matter. You don't need to accompany me," Kate said.

Henry found it weird that Kate was so defensive. But he said nothing after that, he knew that Kate would only get irritated if he insisted.

Kate thanked Henry once they reached her destination, "Don't wait for me, just go," she said as a warning before she entered the building.

Henry had no intention of leaving since his gut told him something must've happened to Kate, so he parked his car quite far from Kate's drop-off location but close enough to watch the bank entrance from afar. 

He waited until Kate left the building not long after and hailed a taxi to take her to her destination. 

Henry tailed the taxi, though he had to be far enough so that Kate wouldn't notice his very flashy car. 

The taxi stopped in front of a popular restaurant in Downtown LA. Henry saw Kate entering the restaurant, so he parked his car and followed her. 

Since the restaurant was huge and quite crowded because it was lunchtime, Henry was able to sit in an obscured corner while he watched Kate, who looked around until she found the person she had been searching for for a while.

Henry's heart skipped a beat for a second once he saw the woman Kate went to meet. It was actually Erina Ross, Kate's younger sister. 

Henry's eyes followed Kate as she approached Erin who was seated about three tables away from his table, he was close enough to listen to their conversation.
