Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate

Chapter Thirty - Eight

"L..Loney?"

Loney turned around. "Why don't you come over, the food is getting cold." Danica went to sit on the

chair next to his but before her butt hit the chair, a strong hand wrapped around her arm and yanked

her backwards, she fell on Loney's lap, staring into his grey eyes.

She felt a connection, their eyes locked for what seemed like a minute. Danica's cheeks reddened like

tomatoes, her heart beating faster. She lowered her eyes and tried to stand but Loney pulled her closer.

"You are beautiful."

Danica's cheeks heated up especially with Paul around. How could Loney be so naughty in front of

Paul? And why was he in such a good mood today? He even smiled often and seemed to be more

casual than usual.

"Thank you," she muttered, butterflies in her stomach.

Loney glanced at the dishes on the table. "What would you have?" Danica didn't have the appetite. She

was satisfied with Loney around so she said, "anything."

"Good," Loney wrapped his left arm around her waist, pressing her firmly on his lap, while his right

hand began dishing out the food. She tried to stand again but Loney pulled her closer. His breath

fanned against her ears while be asked, "And where do you think you are going?"

Danica felt a shiver at his actions. She was surprised at Loney's open display of affection but she

loved it yet, she felt shy, "to sit on the chair."

Loney chuckled, "Is my lap so uncomfortable?" His voice was alluring and his manhood hardened

beneath her butt, pressing against it but he had no intention of getting inside her.

Danica was speechless. Loney was putting her in a tight corner but the funny bit was, she liked it. "No,

you might get tired of my weight," she said apologetically.

Loney shoved a piece of fried egg into her mouth and said, "let me worry about that," he carefully said.

Paul couldn't believe Loney had completely ignored him. He was seeing a different Loney today and It

was almost as if Paul never existed. "You know what guys, let me know when you are done. I will come

back later," he walked out of the dining room after pouring himself a glass of freshly squeezed juice.

"You can't watch a little PDA?" Loney yelled teasingly after him.

"No Loney, have fun," he waved dismissively. Danica couldn't stop blushing. She was also a bit more

comfortable after Paul excused them.

"Now tell me, how have you been?" Loney asked gently, concern written over his features after they

had eaten in silence for some time.

"I've been good. I feel much better today but why are you here so early?" Without waiting for his

response, she said, "and thank you for the bracelet," Danica lifted her wrist to his visible sight. Loney

admired the bracelet on her wrist, it's just as he imagined it will be but much better.

The corners of his lips curled into a smile, "I've been here since last night," he revealed.

Danica's eyes widened, stun decorating her features. "What? Why?"

"Will you believe me if I tell you the reason?" Loney cocked his brow as he asked.

"Yes," she naturally said. She didn't intend to doubt anything he told her.

"Then let's finish eating."

After they finished eating, Danica stood up to clear the table but Loney stopped her. "I have something

to show you."

Danica wondered what Loney was going to show her. This was the first time she spoke to him

anywhere except in his or her bedroom. They went out of the door to the garage and Loney pressed a

button to what seemed like an elevator. When they entered, he pressed another button that led them

down. Danica's expression of trust and surprise made Loney feel that it was all worth it.

When they stepped out of the elevator, Danica was speechless. "Is it natural?" Her eyes carefully

examined the atmosphere. The large area is covered in grace. The ceiling was artistically painted to

depict the sky.

"No, it's all man-made. The grass is artificial and the flowers are still a work in progress. I got caught up

in a lot and haven't been here in a while," Loney thoughtfully said.

"This is spectacular," Danica expressed. She never imagined that something like this existed.

"If you like it that much, then I will complete it for you. You can make it a leisure area to read or just to

relax. It can also be a play area for the kids," Loney said.

Danica went into deep thought. Was he going to pay someone else to give him another child? "Can I

ask a question?"

Loney looked at her apprehensively and said, "today is your lucky day."

"Why do you want a baby?" Danica carefully asked but Loney's expression darkened instantly.

"Why shouldn't I?" He asked in return. His voice, void of warmth.

"I mean, you could get married or have your girlfriend give you one if you don't want to get married,"

Danica said. She noticed Loney's mood had changed but she wanted to know. Who knows if she was

ever going to get this chance again.

A mischievous smile appeared on Loney's features as he said, "The application for a girlfriend is still

open. Are you interested?"

Danica felt her heart thump. She couldn't tell whether Loney was serious or joking but when he threw

the next question, she was completely taken aback. "Tell me honestly. Why did you apply to be my

surrogate?"

Danica's palms turned sweaty when she began to think about Daniella. Should she confess? "It's a

long story but can I tell you another time?" She asked, hoping that Loney wouldn't ask any further.

Loney sunk to the floor, resting on the carpet grass. He pulled her towards him, she sat in between his

legs.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" The words came out of Loney's mouth as a whisper. He couldn't stop

thinking about what Paul said concerning Danica having an admirer.

"What did you say?" Danica didn't hear him but Loney didn't repeat his words, instantly, he was gripped

with the fear of his past. Daniella's rejection had begun to play on his mind like a movie. "Look, I'm not

perfect and I have a whole lot going on but I also can't deny that what I feel for you is beyond a

surrogate," he rephrased.

Danica didn't know what to say. She felt that Loney was trying to convey a message she has been

dying to hear but she couldn't encourage him to let it out. If she starts a relationship with him, then she

would have to tell Loney that Daniella is her twin. The mere thought darkened her mood. Instead, she

said,

"You promised to tell me why are here."

"It's simple, I missed you and I want to get to know you. Have you ever been in a relationship?" Loney's

muscles tensed when he waited for her response.

"No." She said to Loney's relief. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pecked her neck gently.

The movement was unexpected, Danica felt shivers down her spine.

He whispered in her ear, "how do you feel about me?" His lips continued to kiss her gently, extending to

her shoulders. Waves of pleasure began rushing through her veins and without thinking, she said,

"I can't deny that your presence makes my heart rate increase but I like it when you are with me and I

think about you a lot when you are away. I always pray that God will keep you safe."

A smirk appeared in the corner of Loney's lips as he said, "that sounds like you are in love with me."

His voice was so deep and alluring, her pleasure spikes awoke but she blushed in embarrassment at C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

her own confession. She turned to examine Loney's expression just as lips swallowed hers hungrily...
