The Law of Attraction

Chapter 136: Not Sorry At All

They both stared at each other and Liam's desires for her grew a little higher seeing her alluring face with wet lips she was biting with her teeth. He couldn't help but lean in again and take her inviting lips in his mouth once more to satisfy the fire in him a bit.

Lana also kissed him back with the same intensity and enjoyed his lips and his tongue dancing with hers. They broke free from the kiss after a long while, and Lana started feeling awkward with how she reacted.

She turned her head away for a while and then again turned to look at the screen as if nothing had happened.

Liam knitted his eyebrows but then stayed quiet and not to say a word. Like Lana, he also turned his head towards the screen and focussed on watching, but he was again too startled by what popped up at the screen and he unconsciously cursed and snuggled his face on Lana's shoulder.

"The heck with those faces!" He grunted that made Lana laugh.

"Do you expect to see some beautiful ghosts? How will you understand the story if you'll hide like that?!" Lana teased. Some ghosts looked so gross and scary in those scenes, but she still could not believe a man like Liam would act like that.

"Do you know that you are just losing your manly aura by behaving like this, seeing these scenes Liam…" Lana mumbled with a chuckle.

'That's okay… Your smell and warmth are much better than showing my manly aura by watching scary ghosts!' Liam silently answered.

"Just tell me the story. Next time let's watch another horror movie that is not as scary as that." Liam breathed instead

Lana's face twisted then she scorned, "I think you should just avoid horror films so you won't look like a sissy like you are right now!"

"Hmm… I'm not a sissy. Do you want me to prove you that? Just say it and I'll show it to you in many different ways…" Liam whispered with a challenged tone.

Lana gulped because she wouldn't dare.

"Shut up, Liam… I'm watching the movie." She scoffed instead, hiding how Liam's words sent shivers down her spine and her mind was suddenly cloudy with a series of naughty thoughts. She couldn't stop filling her head with images of how Liam would prove he was not a sissy. His hot body pressing down on her soft skin abruptly popped up in her head. She started imagining his rough kisses and strong embrace.

'What the hell am I thinking? How come I'm becoming such a pervert?' Lana chided herself for thinking so wantonly about him. It was the first time that she had such perverted thoughts about any man.

"Aren't you sorry?" She said the words out of the blue, trying to raise her pride about the kiss they shared a while ago, though she knew it was a stupid question for her to ask.

"What for?" Liam breathed, and he only heard Lana answer him with a deep sigh.

"You know what I'm talking about…" Lana murmured. She knew it was not necessary since she had also kissed him back. But for some reasons, she wanted to hear some words of apology from Liam about the kiss, though she herself was not clear what he should say and what her reasons were except ego.

"If you're referring to the kiss, then you should know that I'm not sorry at all. I felt the urge of kissing you and I see nothing wrong in that given you kissed me back. I love kissing you. And you said it yourself before that you enjoy kissing me too," Liam whispered in her ear.

Liam's face was red while he smiled. Now he was more convinced about Keira's words. He could feel it in Lana's actions. He wanted to express more of his feelings, but he must not forget to do it slowly.

After the movie, Lana was so quiet that Liam's heart was in unrest.

He was still holding her hand. He had this feeling that Lana would soon give him a sentence, as if he was waiting for her judgement in a trial.

He sniggered on his own because the battle for Lana's heart seemed to be more complicated than the cases he had been defending inside the courtroom.

They entered one of the fine restaurants inside the mall to have dinner.?Liam pulled the chair for Lana to sit and when he finally sat on his chair he spoke, "Is there something wrong? I mean, you look worried."

Lana looked at him straight in the eyes and replied, "Yes. I'm worried."

Liam creased his forehead while he stared at her.

"Why?" His question came as a whisper. He expected it to come, eventually. He knew that Lana would confront him somehow, like what Keira said.

"I don't want us to get too attached with each other… The kiss… It just happened, I presumed, because we are both attracted to each other physically. I will admit, I'm attracted to you physically, but expect nothing more than that. I don't have any plans to get emotionally involved with anyone Liam... And you are not an exemption. Right now we are together for the same purpose and benefits, and I hope you will be clear about it. Take caution because you are responsible for your own emotions and I will be responsible for mine."

Lana straightforwardly fired out without batting an eye to Liam. It was just like how Keira had warned him. She said Lana would not let her guard down.

He felt his heart had been torn into pieces at that moment. He had not yet started his fight, but Lana was announcing his defeat by her discouraging words.

He had never met such a stone hearted woman as she was. At that point, Liam saw how the tragedy of Lana's past had left a deep mark in her heart and he truly understood her despite her piercing words that hit like a dagger to his heart although he expected it could happen.

"Don't worry about me, Lana… Like you said, I will be responsible for my own emotions." Liam answered with an assuring smile.

He believed that someday, Lana would overcome everything if he would show her his sincerity...
