Kidnapped by a Dragon Billionaire - Chapter 71

Zi Mei was standing outside her home, staring at her door, contemplating going inside when a car stopped next to her by the roadside. She moved inside to stand on the walkway and a tall, handsome man stepped out of the car.

Her breath caught at the sight of his handsome profile. It is so easy to be so enamoured by the looks and just gaze at him for hours without doing anything, except maybe, drooling. Fortunately, Zi Mei got her senses together and spoke to him.

“Mister Loong, why are you here again?” she asked him, surprised that he is here again at her house second day in a row. To think that she doesn’t even know of his existence before yesterday.

“I heard there were some disturbances here earlier,” it was more of a question than a statement to her.

“Yes, the police took all of them to the police station, I think I should put up some CCTVs so that I have proof of them harassing me, otherwise it’s their words against mine,” she told him. Then she did a double take. How did he know?

“How did you find out?” she asked him. “And why are you so concerned about me? We are practically strangers…and I am only an intern who hasn’t even reported for work in your company yet,” she said.

Suspicion reared its ugly head. Still jittery from the five gangsters threatening her, she took a step back from him and eyed the handsome CEO somewhat suspiciously. He may be handsome and nice to her but she barely knows him. Maybe he has an ulterior motive to being nice to her. What if he wanted to seduce her and made her his mistress? Her eyes widened at the thought then she quickly shut it down.

‘Don’t be ridiculous Zi Mei, you are an inexperienced college student, I doubt he’s all that interested in you,’ she told herself. She is not exactly a remarkable beauty, she thought to herself.

“Someone told me about it and I was concerned because I cared about you,” Thorin Loong said. He looked sincere and not in the least threatening.

Still, Zi Mei is cautious. Sure, she has wild sexual fantasies about this handsome man standing before her but that doesn’t mean he is to be trusted.

“We just met yesterday…why would you care about me?” she asked.

Thorin Loong gave a long suffering sigh and run his fingers through his hair, ruffling the thick glossy waves, tempting her to bury her own hands in his hair. It looked so soft, so thick, so inviting. She dragged her eyes away from him and admonished herself for drooling over this man again. He is a married man, she reminded herself for the millionth time.

“It’s hard to explain…let’s just say you remind me of someone I cared about very much and I feel very protective about you,” he said.

“Like a younger sister?” she asked.

His lips curled in a half smile. “I doubt that I would kiss a younger sister the way I kissed you yesterday,” he said.

She blushed, remembering the kiss and how it weakened her knees. It made her want to melt into his arms and let him do whatever he wanted with her. Even if he was to made love to her right there, she would not have protested. The thought both mortified and thrilled her.

“You are married Mister Loong…your wife reminded me to keep my distance yesterday so I will not become a third party in your marriage,” she said firmly instead. Despite her whole body screaming to hold him, her heart pounding so loudly to be near him, she must control her crazy impulses and keep her distance.

“Jessica?” he raised an eyebrow.

Then he threw his head back and laughed, a deep rumbling sound that snuck deep into her soul and made her insides roil with desire. She must be mad. And hormonal. There was no way that even the sound of his laughter could evoke such a strong reaction from her traitorous horny body.

“Ignore Jessica, she is just being….Jessica,” he said, making a gesture dismissing his wife as if she is no one important.

She glared at him. Jessica is such a gorgeous woman and he is dismissing her. His lack of appreciation for his wife is a turn-off. He must be a cheating husband who sleeps around a lot. This is a huge turn-off to her mentally and spiritually. Only her clueless horny body refused to listen to what her mind says.

“That’s terrible! She is your wife!” Zi Mei exclaimed indignantly. She may not know Jessica and the other woman had been quite cold and curt towards her (and no wonder too since Zi Mei did kiss her husband) but women must stand together especially against cheating husbands.

“You didn’t seem to care yesterday when kissing me,” Thorin Loong remarked drily.

Zi Mei blushed a brilliant red. He is right. She gave in to her impulses and kissed him. Cheaters don’t do it alone. The partners they chose are also knowingly doing it with them. Like her. She is no better than him, a cheating spouse. She hangs her head in shame.

“It was a mistake yesterday,” she mumbled. “I think we shouldn’t…we couldn’t be involved romantically at all, maybe I should not take up the intern job at your company at all,” she said.

The only way is to avoid him. A clean break. Keep temptations away and both of them will never stray. She made up her mind. She will not take that internship. It is too risky to work near him. Much too risky. Who knows what might happen if they are left alone in an office one day? She couldn’t bear to think about it and yet she wanted to imagine what it will be like to have him throw her on to the table and take her there. She cursed her horny mind for even thinking about it.

“Very well, if you feel that way, I am fine with it,” Thorin Loong said. He scrutinised her for a moment and used a finger to raise her chin up so that their eyes are looking into each other.

“Look, I am not really a married man if that’s what you are feeling so guilty about, you didn’t help me cheat on my spouse, Jessica is not really my wife,” he told her.

“But…”

“Shhh…don’t worry about it. You are right, we should never be involved, it was amiss of me to take advantage of you yesterday, for that, I apologise,” he said.

But they had digressed so far from her original question. She pushed all romantic horny thoughts aside and concentrated on the serious issue at hand.

“Why are you really here?” she asked him earnestly.

“I am here to check on you, simple as that and since you are fine, I am going back, I have some business to settle, but I will leave a bodyguard here to make sure you are safe,” he said.

Just then, Thorin Loong’s chauffeur-driven car arrived. A tall thin man came out of the car and came towards them.

“Hello, Miss Tan, I am Lim,” the bodyguard said, giving her a slight nod, his eyes serious.
