Chapter 78

He took her chin between his finger and thumb and raised her chin. "I ordered those clothes and accessories after we returned from the island. I chose every single thing in that closet for you. From Lingerie to shoes, Aurora. There is only you in my mind since I saw you and I would never think about cheating on you, I give you my words."

Liam didn't know where the words were coming from, all he knew was that he wanted to ease her doubts. He wanted to see her smile all the time.

Aurora swallowed and stepped closer to him. She touched his face and stood on tip-toes to come closer to his face and then she placed her lips on his. Aurora poured her soul into the kiss. She was conveying her feelings for him in her kiss.

Liam took over the kiss and it turned from slow and gentle to urgent and passionate. Liam kissed her as if his life depended on it. He turned around, Aurora's back was facing the mahogany desk while Liam was holding both of their weights on his palm which was flattened on the desk.

They kissed for a long time and only left each other when they struggled for oxygen.

Liam settled on the sofa and Aurora was sitting on his lap with her head in his neck, enjoying the moment of love between them. "Let's get married, Aurora."

Aurora looked at him with wide eyes. He was staring into her eyes calmly as if he had not just dropped a bomb on Aurora. She chuckled. "Are you joking with me?"

Liam grabbed her elbow, his eyes darkened, "no, absolutely not. I want to marry you as soon as possible, Aurora. I want you to carry my name officially and proudly in front of everyone."

Aurora inhaled sharply and stood up from his lap. Her back was facing Liam who stood up and went near her. "What happens? Don't you want to get married to me, Aurora?" He asked, his voice turning sharp.

Aurora shook her head, she turned and looked into his eyes. "No, I don't want to repeat the same mistake, Liam. I don't want to make any decision in haste. I want to know you first. I am ready to date you but not for marriage."

As if someone has poured hot boiling oil over his head. A hot red fury ran through his body. The girl was making him insane with her unnecessary drama. The commission meeting was in two months and she was showing tantrums to him.

Damn her to hell and that sick father of hers for putting that sick deal with him. Right now, he wanted nothing else than to marry her at gunpoint.

"Are you calling me a mistake, Mrs Knight?"

Aurora sensed a change in his tone. She understood that she had hurt his feelings. She didn't want to repeat the same mistake. Aurora went near him and rested her hand against his cheek. He sharpened his eyes, darkness was still visible in his gaze but she knew how to eradicate it.

Aurora smiled. "You are my best decision, Liam. I could never call you a mistake but try to understand my viewpoint. I don't want to jump into unknown water without knowing its depth. I love you, yes. I see my life with you, a hundred times yes. I want to marry you, yes, just not so soon. I want to enjoy my dating life. I was always envious of Susan's dating life but I knew I could never do it like her. I waited for the right man and now I have found one. I want to live every little fantasy I had with you."

He pulled her closer to him, arched a brow and asked. "What kind of fantasies, Mrs Knight?"

She went near his ear and whispered, "you will get to know them slowly and in time, Mr Knight?" She placed a miss on his cheek.

Liam nodded. "Alright, wife. I will give you forty-five days to accept my marriage proposal and I will do everything in my power to make you accept my proposal in these forty-five days."

"Is this a challenge, Mr Knight?" She asked, linking her hands to his neck.

"Call it anything you want, Mrs Knight."

She raised her brows in pride. "Challenge accepted, Mr Knight."

"Be ready in two hours, we are going out for lunch." He informed her. "Nowhere in particular, right? This outfit will do?"

"It will," Liam nodded but then he removed her hands from his neck, creating a little distance between them, he gave her a look of seriousness.

"Have you completed your new design, Miss Kings?"

Aurora frowned. "What are you talking about Liam?" She asked when he suddenly talked professionally with her.

Liam cleared his throat. "I am asking about the new jewellery design, Aurora, have you finished it yet or not?" He asked again, enjoying her confusing state.

"No, not yet. I would have completed it yesterday but I didn't get the time…"

"And what kept you so busy that you couldn't finish the design?"

Aurora's mouth hung open, "you don't know what kept me busy last night?" She asked in a sharp tone.

Liam sighed. "I am your boss here, Aurora and I have told you once before to talk to me respectfully and I won't tolerate you skipping work just because we have a personal relationship with each other. Pay attention to your work."

The arrogant bully!

"Alright, I apologise for the delay, Mr Knight but my boyfriend kept me busy last night but I promise to be punctual from next time when even if my boyfriend has to suffer from blue balls!" She said in an overly sweet voice with an equivalent over sweet smile.

The look on Liam's face cracked her up and she laughed freely. "Good day, Mr Knight," she turned to leave but stopped and looked at him once again.

"And just to save time, I can't go to lunch with you, Liam. My boss is a little demanding."

Before he could say anything she ran out of his office smiling and happy.

Accepting Liam's love proved to be the best decision of her life and she prayed for it to remain this way.
