Chapter 367: Punishment.

While Laura was joking around with the date that Jason had brought, she felt a presence behind her. The girl was one of the actresses that were signed at their company, so it wasn't too strange for Jason to ask her to accompany him.

"I'm going to go find Jason," she said suddenly and before Laura could say anything back, she had already run away. Laura turned around and smiled when she saw James, but when she wanted to say a few words, she finally noticed the woman standing next to him. They looked almost identical to each other that it was a bit uncanny.

"Oh? Is this your sister?" Laura asked, and Hellen laughed happily when she heard her question. James sighed in his heart but didn't say anything to refute her.

"I'm Hellen, his mother," Hellen said as she stretched her hand forward. Laura thought that they were going to shake hands, but Hellen just held her hands as she switched sides from James to Laura.

"Oh, I'm Laura," Laura answered, but said nothing about her relationship with James as she felt that it wasn't her place to do so.

"She's my girlfriend," James informed his mother. James was not too surprised about his mother's enthusiasm; he knew that she had been more worried about him finding someone than she was for his celebrity young brother.

"It finally happened," Hellen said, and almost teared up. Laura had heard from Jen that James had taken after his mother, but she had never thought that it would have been to this extent. 

Although his features were more masculine compared to Hellen's, everything pretty much looked the same apart from his eye colour. Whereas he had grey eyes, his mother had beautiful hazel eyes which made her look charming.

"Hmm?" Laura questioned in confusion.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it," James said when he saw that she wanted to ask about what she was talking about. It's not that James had never dated before; he had never told his mother whenever he was, so he suspected that she probably thought he had always been single.

"Oh," Laura responded, it's not like she could pry out too much information on their first meeting, so she was just focused on leaving a good impression.

Hellen was already thinking about how she was going to ditch James and steal Laura away when her husband arrived. She automatically went to stand next to him just so that things don't become awkward.

"Father, this is my girlfriend, Laura. Laura, this is my father," James introduced.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lewis," Laura said as she shook the handsome middle-aged man. She realised that James had hogged on his mother's features and left his brothers with nothing.

"Pleasure," Noah responded and pulled away when it was appropriate.

After some small talk, Noah managed to get his wife away from Laura so they could go meet their old friends. Laura stood next to James as she watched the couple leave before sighing.

"It would have been impossible for you to not be good looking regardless of who you took after," Laura commented and hugged his arm.

"Mmmh," James agreed, making Laura let out a soft chuckle. It felt a bit weird meeting his parents while being hyperaware of the marks he left on her body, especially since she was wearing a dress that left her back open and was forced to let her hair down to hide the hickeys.

She remembered what happened the previous night. Even if she did not want to remember, it would be weirder if she forgot. After he forced her into the shower after the night out with her friends, she found James on his phone in a robe after she got out. Even though she had still been drunk, she was a bit more rational than she had been before.

"You hired strippers," James stated, as it was a fact. It showed that he wasn't being suspicious, but rather he knew exactly what she had been up to.

"I wanted it to be more fun," Laura said as she busily tied up her hair while trying to balance herself so she didn't become a stumbling mess.

"Why?" James asked her. He didn't understand why she would hire that kind of service.

"Because I was curious? But also, I wanted to know how it'll be like seeing a man who didn't have inhibitions Infront of me," Laura answered honestly.

[Author: HOW BOLD!]

"Didn't have inhibitions?" James asked as he looked at the woman who had turned to look at him with her green eyes.

"Yes," Laura answered honestly.

"So, I'm inhibited?" James asked as he pushed his wet hair back.

"Very much so," Laura confirmed and went to sit next to him on the love seat in their room.

"Can you loosen up a bit?" she asked, and James scoffed at her question.

"You don't know what you are asking for," James and stood up to go dry his hair.

"But I do," Laura shouted towards him, but the only response she received was the sound of the hairdryer. She sighed and got up from the couch and went to the bed, picking up her phone along the way. She browsed her social media as she waited for James to finish what he was doing. They were going to have this conversation. He can't avoid it today.

Laura finally looked up from her phone when James got out of the bathroom. She put her phone on the bedside table and looked at him expectantly.

"Aren't you going to your room?" James asked as he too got on the bed.

"This is what I'm talking about! Who has their girlfriend over and asks them to sleep separately? Shouldn't you be coaxing me into your bed instead?" Laura asked. James who had started checking his email glanced at her before putting his phone down.

"So you want us to share a bed?" James asked her an obvious question.

"Yes!" Laura answered while feeling indignant.

"No, go to your room," he said and slipped lower, turning to pick up his phone once more. But before he could, Laura had already pounced on him. James looked at Laura, who was straddling him with a complex expression.

Laura leaned down and kissed his lips, taking advantage of his unresponsive state. James was still, and Laura impatiently groaned with frustration.

"Are you mad at me?" Laura asked against his lips.

"Mmh," he lied. He wasn't angry at her, but rather at himself. He had been neglecting her with his recently busy schedule, but what he was even more worried about was the fact that he would not stop once he started.

"What can I do, hmm?" Laura asked, still not moving away from him, but instead pecked his lips as if she was trying to appease him using this method. James grabbed the nape of her neck and pulled her in for a fierce kiss.

It felt like he wanted to devour her whole, and the poor inexperienced Laura clumsily tried to keep up with him. James tugged on the belt of her robe and it came undone immediately, exposing the naked body underneath it.

When they finally separated since Laura had been running out of air, this is the sight that greeted James. His eyes became dilated and his mouth turned dry.

He switched their positions immediately, pressing Laura on the bed as she lay on her stomach. She had no way of seeing the expression of the man behind her.

"Tell me how I should punish you," James and pulled on the robe, forcing her arms out of the sleeves. 

"Punish?" Laura asked while trying to lift herself up to look him. Only to be pressed down again. James gathered her hands in front of her so she wouldn't move around anymore. Seeing her fair back that dipped along her spine, he couldn't wait to remove the rest of the robe, but he was trying to maintain at least some of his composure.

"You went out, got drunk, danced with naked men, tell me, should I tolerate it?" James asked while leaning over her ear.

"They weren't naked," Laura defended with a trembling voice.

"So you danced with them," James said and his other hand slipped under the lower half of her robe, rubbing the back of her thighs. Forget about James touching her thighs, he wouldn't even stare at her breasts.

Laura couldn't answer him because she was so distracted by his caressing. She didn't even feel that there was something wrong, like why she was face down. James finally took off the rest of her robe and tossed it behind him. He didn't even care about where it landed.

Seeing the two dimples at the bottom of her spine and her curvy butt, James impulsively smacked it twice. Laura only heard a sharp sound twice and then warmth on her behind. It took a while for her to realised she just got spanked by him.

"James!" she shouted from embarrassment. It was not painful, she just wanted to hide.

"That was for coming home drunk, and dancing with strange naked men outside," James said, his voice sounding calm, contradicting his complicated expression.

He leaned over her, his chest against her back to kiss the back of her neck. She could feel the material of the robe he was wearing on her skin and the leg that between hers. When his lips touched her spine, she shivered from the sensation. James paused a bit at that moment.

"I should give you one more, for seducing me, but I'll let it go this once," James said and licked along her spine. Laura shivered once more and an unconscious groan left her lips. Finding out that Laura's back was an erogenous zone is how she ended up wearing her hair out at the wedding.

She suddenly felt guilty about thinking about such things in public. But she ended up experiencing things she didn't even know were possible, like the things he had done to her with his fingers.

James noticed that Laura's face was getting flushed as she stared at nothing. He stretched out his hand and stroked her cheek with his fingers. 

"What are you thinking about?" James asked as his thumb rubbed the corner of her mouth.

"It's nothing," Laura said, and rapidly blinked her eyes to recompose herself. James had seen how dilated her eyes had been. He was already suspicious of her thoughts.

His thumb moved from the corner of her mouth and traced her bottom lip. Laura automatically opened her mouth and licked his thumb, stunning the both of them.

James calmly retracted his hand as if nothing happened and cleared his throat. She did not know what he was thinking about and now he even stopped looking at her so she couldn't even guess. Will she get punished again for this action tonight?
