Chapter 307: Salty
Chapter 307: Salty
Liam's heart also ached seeing how his wife was crying. He kissed her cheeks as he wiped her tears, even though Lana was struggling not to let him kiss or touch her.
It was too painful and heartbreaking for him as well. He could see how the impact of his choice pained his wife…
"I'm sorry, love… I'm really sorry, love… Please forgive me." Liam pleaded as tears ran out of his eyes. He kept on kissing and hugging her, though Lana was constantly struggling. He hugged her tightly as he kept on mumbling the words, "I'm sorry… I love you…"
Lana was also hitting him on the chest as he hugged her. He knew she was hurt deeply, but as soon as her anger subsided. She cried out loud and hugged Liam as tight as she could.
"I hate you…" she kept on mumbling between her sobbing rubbing her face on his chest feeling his warmth.
Liam could not breathe with a tight hug that Lana had trapped him in. He stroked her back as he whispered, "It's okay to hate me now… I'm really sorry, but please don't hate me for too long love. I missed you so much and I love you… only you…"
Lana finally released him. Liam cupped her face and wiped the tears on her cheek. Lana narrowed her eyes at him and whispered, "I really hate you right now…"
"I know…" Liam muttered as he caressed Lana's cheeks. He missed every inch of her, her scent, her warmth and her soft body.
"I promise… After everything is settled, then I will make it up to you…" he whispered.
Lana wanted to kiss him, but she controlled herself because her husband deserved to be punished. Even if she was longing for him… She would not let him have her that easily.
Liam pulled her to sit on the couch. He held her both hands as he faced her.
"Right now… I'm helping my cousins… The Kens. The case I'm working on right now is a very sensitive and complicated one. You see, one wrong move will jeopardize its success. As I've said… What you witnessed before is nothing but a show. I had to do it to ensure your safety. If the enemy found out my connection with you, then your life would be put in danger. You can be a bait for me…" Lana was completely quiet as Liam explained further.
He was very vague with the details of the case he was holding right now, but he confirmed that it had a connection with his cousin Shawn. That winning the case will help his cousin to be freed from his past.
Lana could finally understand everything. She herself might have done the same if she would be in his shoes. Liam was kissing her shoulders now as he kept on apologizing.
"Stop that… It's salty…" she scolded because her skin was salty since she dipped in the sea.
She honestly felt very sticky, so she stood up and looked for the bathroom to take a quick bath. Liam exhaled as he looked at Lana's back. He also stood up and followed Lana inside the bathroom.
She was already naked, standing under the shower. Liam closed the distance between them and hugged her from behind.
"If you only knew how much I missed you since we parted. How much I have been longing for you during those days we were not together. Each day was a torture without you by my side." Liam whispered in her ear
Lana hugged his arms below her chest. She knew and understood how her husband felt because she felt the same way about being apart from him. Each day was a torture for her without him by her side.
Lana turned around and cupped his face as she asked, "When are you leaving again?"
"Tonight… But don't worry because I will see you soon." Liam whispered. He grabbed the body wash and rubbed it on Lana's body. She bit her lip as the sensations that his touch brought ran wild all over her skin.
She took the shampoo and washed her hair quickly while she whispered, "Stop teasing me… I'm almost done here. Wait for me on the bed."
Instead of heeding Lana's words, Liam undressed himself instead and with a cracked, hoarse voice uttered, "I can no longer wait. I will also join you."
Lana finally had a smile on her lips as she mumbled, "and do you think I will allow you to have your way with me? Don't you know that I'm still dead set to punish you for what you did?"
Liam only gave her a mischievous grin before he pounced on her and ravished her mouth for a starving kiss. Lana thought she could keep her control, but she failed…
She answered her husband's kisses with the same intensity. Foreplay was forgotten because both of them wanted to be united as one instantly. Liam took her there, and they both reached their highest peak of making love.
It didn't end there because they continued making love on the bed until both of them got exhausted.
Lana was finally resting with her head on Liam's chest when he asked, "Why are you here, love?"
Lana exhaled first before she told Liam the reason she was with Xander and summarized to him the case.
She expected Liam to scold her but instead he said, "No matter what happens, don't panic even if the situation turns to the worst and just continue with the trial and present everything that you have so that Yun can get punished. Also tell Xander to do the same, no matter what happens. Nothing bad would surely happen to Xander's family."
"Why do you sound so sure?" Lana asked.
Liam gently stroked her hair and whispered, "Just trust me on this love… My hunch never goes wrong, you know..."
Lana pouted her lips then moved with her elbow on the bed as she stared at Liam and asked, "And what if your hunch turned out to be wrong this time?"
Liam chuckled and pinched her nose before he asked, "promise me that this will be the last dangerous case you will ever handle or else…"
"What? You're going to leave me again without a word? Well, go on… try yourself out… and I will never forgive you the second time around." Lana mumbled with a raised eyebrow but of course deep inside she knew she would always forgive her man no matter what.
"I won't leave you like that ever again, love… I promise…" Liam whispered.
