The Law of Attraction

Chapter 257: Fatal Attraction

Noah was more surprised by his own thoughts than when he saw her more than the normal behaviour in his room and felt as if this place was actually hers. He did not comment, but he mused, 'Why do I really feel like it's her house and I'm the guest?'

He just took his clothes and slipped inside the bathroom to have a quick shower. It was not his first time to be with a woman. After the incidents in his life, he had never felt good in the company of a woman, though he didn't despise all the womenfolk.

He had a few flings and a stable girlfriend at a time as well. His intimate encounters with women were only with his girlfriend, who left him due to her family pressure and had to get married into a filthy rich family. She resisted, but her family had forcefully gotten her married and they separated since then.

He was not a virgin like her, and although he had been intimately connected with his girlfriend at a time, he never felt aroused after she left, even when he saw the most beautiful women flocking around him. He had completely drowned himself in the business and made himself a money-making machine, acquiring businesses and overworking every day.

So now he wondered why he was feeling uneasy?

Noah cursed under his breath as the warm water poured down his body. He felt suddenly aroused, seeing Luo wearing his shirt and shorts. That beautiful woman looked heavenly in his clothes, water dripping down her neck was inviting him to take her right away.

His body was reacting, and it was natural since he was a man. But he wondered since when it started? Since when did that woman manage to attract him? The cold and unresponsive man that he was suddenly couldn't see her fooling around with other men. He wanted to chain her and be a little more ladylike. He must be crazy really...

Meanwhile, Luo sat comfortably on a chair and dried her wet hair as she waited for Noah. A sweet smile was still lining her full lips as she anticipated Noah's expressions afterwards. She was feeling giddy at the thought on how she would bully Noah soon.

She was a very self-centered woman and had lived her life with the aim of earning a lot of money. Ever since her high school days she had seen how women were bullied in their workplaces and even by family sometimes.

She grew up deciding to stay single and promising to be the bully instead of being bullied and never got herself attached with any man emotionally. When she met Noah for the first time, something in his aura attracted her to him.

She simply found herself enjoying teasing him. It was not far when she realised how her feelings had been different for him and a deadly attraction kept pulling her towards him. She teased him to hide her racing heart and also because she knew he would never fall for her. When Liam asked her to go back to Sy law firm, she did it in a haste as she didn't want to remain very close to him and be affected by his fatal attraction every hour of the day.

That day when he put the condition of sleeping with her, she was shocked for a moment and knew he was not serious. But tonight, when he repeated the offer, she couldn't resist her heart's desire to be with the one and only person she had liked in her life and spend some time with him.

She knew she would be seen down by him for her greed and even be despised after the night ended, but she, being so sure of her decision of remaining single for life, didn't want to miss this opportunity with him even if that was just for a while.

She was overwhelmed when he brought her to his house and even in his own bedroom. She felt like she was granted a day's life with him, a short life though, but she wanted to live it like his person. When she wore his shirt, she could smell his perfume in his clothes.

A very foreign feeling filled her heart, which she had never known before. She was so immersed in her dreams that when she saw him smoking after she stepped out, she reflexively took it out of his mouth and stubbed it.

She had not given it too much thought when she went to him. But when she took out the cigarette from his mouth, she felt as if she was someone special for him who could do this to him, and her eyes flickered with emotions for a few moments. But her mind mocked her immediately and with a faint smile she turned around, coming back to the real world.

She got up after drying her hair and was already on the bed, lying ecstatic like it was her own bed. Her emotions were on their height, smelling his scent in the bed, and even in the quilt, but she knew how to keep herself under control.

She wondered if Noah also wanted to see her wearing his shirt or he thoughtlessly gave her to wear it. When Noah stepped out from the bathroom he was already in his sleepwear. She quickly closed her eyes before Noah's gaze darted on her.

Noah creased his forehead, seeing Luo seemed to be sleeping already with her eyes closed.

"Is she kidding me?" he whispered as he walked towards the bed and joined her under the quilt.

"Are you asleep?" he asked with a crumpled face.

Luo moved sideways to face him and with eyes closed she answered, "Not yet, but I'm about to sleep. Let's rest and sleep…"

"Noooo… wait" Noah murmured. Luo opened her eyes and naively asked, "You're not yet sleepy?"

Noah's face was dark and she could clearly see that in the dim light of the room.

"Why not? It's already late. Let's sleep." Luo nonchalantly continued.
