Dear Immortal Tyrant

Chapter 219 - On Purpose

The next day, Lina woke up to an irritating phone call. She groaned in exhaustion, throwing a hand to the nightstand to search for it. But she couldn\'t move. Muchless, wriggle her arm out. She peeled her eyes open and glanced down.

Kaden hugged her like a child cuddling their favourite stuffed animal. His arms were tight around her, his legs slung over her body. He buried his face into her neck. His large body was like a bear. And he slept like one too.

Lina squirmed and squeezed until she was able to face him. Despite her struggle, he was still fast asleep. She smiled to herself, admiring his features. She found it intriguing that she had woken up earlier than him. He always tired himself out from his long working days.? Even though he didn\'t require that much sleep, he often felt drained.

"You stare at me like a stalker. I need to get a restraining order against," Kaden deadpanned.

"Way to ruin the mood," Lina mused.

Kaden opened his eyes. Despite just waking up, he was on high alert.

Lina was envious of his quick reflexes. His gaze was energized. It wasn\'t the only part about him on standby. She could feel something begin to poke at her stomach.

"Let me fix that then," Kaden murmured, leaning in for a morning kiss.

Lina responded by turning her head.

"Your phone keeps on ringing," Lina said.

Kaden raised a brow. He glanced behind him, but saw his phone wasn\'t even on. Then, he looked to the nightstand on her side of the bed.

"It\'s your phone," Kaden told her. "The new one I got you."

Lina blinked. "How did you know I lost mine?"

"Theodore found a smashed phone in the hallway," Kaden snorted. "He thought it was mine. To our surprise, it wasn\'t."

Lina sheepishly looked away. "Maybe I\'m picking up your bad habits."

"If you think those are bad, then you\'re in for a rude awakening, dove."

Lina ignored him, even though she wanted to argue. She wriggled out of his grasp, despite the protest in his deep eyes. Finally, she was able to sit upright in the bed. She picked up her phone and saw who was calling her. An unknown number. Her brows drew together in confusion.

"What are you doing?" Lina mused when she felt his muscular arms around her stomach.

Kaden didn\'t bother to respond. He buried his face into her side, hugging her body again. Her skin was soft. And he wasn\'t usually this kind of man. It was her fault for being more addictive than any other drug.

Just then, her phone began to ring again. Kaden held back the urge to toss it across the room.

"Hello?" Lina said, unsure of who it was.

"Lina?"

Lina perked up. "Krystal!"

"Oh wow, this is actually your number!" Krystal exasperated with wide eyes. "I tried so hard to find it."

"How can I help you?" Lina asked.

"The idea you mentioned last time… let\'s meet up and discuss it with a contract," Krystal said in a timid voice.

Lina immediately remembered what it was. The idea she promised to Krystal during Atlantis\' celebration dinner. At that time, Lina was ambitious and had a dream in mind to seize Yang Enterprise. Now, she was uncertain if she wanted to pursue the career.

Cedrick had the heirs\' affair perfectly handled. The stockholders loved him. And the ones that didn\'t were only supportive of Lina because they were on Lawrence\'s side.

"I\'ll have my lawyer present then," Lina relented.

"Perfect! I\'ll bring mine as well," Krystal chirped. "Where should we meet?"

Lina wrung her brows together. It would be a good idea for people to see the two of them together. If it reached the news, even better.

"Yang Enterprise," Lina decided. "In the afternoon."

"Not too far from my place. I\'ll see you there!"

"Mmhm." Lina exchanged her goodbyes and then terminated the call. She settled the phone onto the nightstand, then let out a small sigh.

Lina glanced at the large bear holding her waist. She stroked Kaden\'s hair, realizing it was much softer than anticipated. He responded by nuzzling her hip with his nose. Her heart skipped when she found he was staring at her the entire time.

His gaze was lazy, yet electrifying. It immediately drew her in, until she was focused on no one but him.

"Time for you to wake up, Sleeping Beauty," Lina teased him, giving his muscular shoulders a pat.

Kaden narrowed his eyes. "And where is Sleeping Beauty\'s kiss?"

Lina blinked. Was he serious? His face was solemn. Oh. He was dead serious.

With slight laughter, Lina shoved at him for release. Kaden responded by forcibly pulling her into the bed, until she was flat on her back.

"How are you feeling?" Kaden murmured, brushing his lips against hers. "Sore? Uncomfortable?"

Kaden\'s hands explored her body, going down the sides. He settled on her hips, where his thumb massaged circles.

Lina closed her eyes. She had to suppress a moan at how good it felt. With a slow shake of her head, she showed her lack of discomfort.

"I slept well," Lina responded.

Kaden\'s eyes flashed with mischief. "In that case…"

By the time they were done, Lina could barely lift a limb. She was drained in the bed, her body covered with fresh love bites. Even now, her thighs hadn\'t stopped shaking from the three climaxes she had reached. Meanwhile, Kaden had showered, brushed his teeth, and was now putting on his clothes.

Lina watched him haphazardly. His buttons were wide open, revealing his toned and tight abdomen. He adjusted his cuffs, his arms bulging with strength. A man like him could bring a country to its knees. Just a single smirk could devastate kingdoms.

"You\'re still awake, dove?" Kaden questioned in a low, cunning voice.

Lina responded by glaring up at him. He knew she had something to do, but edged her until she was practically in tears asking for release. He loved to tease her in bed, until she was pleading with him to give it to her. He had a way with her body.

"You did that on purpose," Lina grumbled whilst hugging her pillow. She dared to take a look at the clock. Just an hour before the afternoon.

"I\'m glad you know." Kaden finished his cuffs. He proceeded to the buttons of his white shirt.

Lina watched the show. His fingers were long and skillful. He expertly fixed the buttons, then slid on a tie. God. She could only imagine how the black tie would look on her wrists. At the dirty thought, her cheeks were stained red. He stared at her intensely, practically smelling the arousal.

Instantly, Kaden stepped closer to the bed. He began to take off his cufflinks.

"I\'m sore," Lina muttered.

Kaden placed his cufflinks back on. Then, he approached the bed, fluffed the pillow for her and helped her get into a more comfortable position. He sat down on the bed, kissed her on the forehead, and stroked her face.

"Then, sleep, dove of mine," Kaden murmured.

Lina was almost tempted to. His voice was beguiling and sweet. He was a temptation she would forever be addicted to.. And they both knew it.
