Of course, it has to be very, very deep.
Matthew was moved when he heard her reply.
Given that Clarissa seldom said anything sweet to him, let alone openly declare her feelings for him, how could Matthew not be delighted?
With a wave of his hand, the few members of senior management with whom he was having a meeting left in shock. What they had just seen and heard was a side of the president that they had never dreamt of seeing.
They could still feel the aftershock of what they have witnessed when they replayed Matthew’s expression in their minds.
Meanwhile, listening to Clarissa’s voice, Matthew requested in a bassy tone, “Clare, can you say that one more time for me, please?”
Smiling smugly, Clarissa burst into crisp laughter that could be heard over the phone.
“Repeating it won’t make it special anymore,” she declared on purpose as she found teasing Matthew way too exhilarating.
No wonder he enjoys teasing me so much. Waiting for his response is just so exciting.
Matthew didn’t say much other than sneer, “Clare…”
Pouting her lips, Clarissa exited the elevator. With no one around, she walked toward Matthew’s office with a smile on her face.
She didn’t make a sound as she wanted to give him a surprise.
Finally, the office door suddenly swung open and she was swept off her feet by Matthew. As she screamed in surprise, the door closed behind her. Pinning her against the door, Matthew lifted her chin and asked in a deep voice, “Are you going to repeat it for me or not, hmm? Clare, I want to hear you say how much you want me.”
Pursing her lips, Clarissa didn’t respond as she tried to struggle against him.
With a glint in his eye, Matthew let out a domineering and insidious smile.
“Let’s just save it for next time…”
Before he finished his sentence, he planted his lips on hers. Regardless of whether she was willing to repeat her words, a kiss was always the better option.
Knock! Knock!
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door behind them. Panicking, Clarissa wanted to struggle free but Matthew intensified his kiss instead.
“Mr. Tyson?” They heard Donnie’s voice.
But with both of their lips locked, Matthew didn’t bother to respond. Donnie left shortly after.
After a long while, Matthew picked Clarissa up by her thighs and wrapped them around his waist. Both of them continued to kiss passionately while their bodies tightened against each other.
Soon, Clarissa grabbed onto Matthew’s hair, motioning him to let go of her.
She had no idea how long their kiss lasted, but she was sure that it was definitely more than ten minutes.
Even if she didn’t suffocate, she could already feel her mouth go dry.
Luckily, Matthew finally let her go but still carried her in his arms, as if he was carrying a child. Sitting down in his office chair, he placed her on his lap.
With their foreheads leaning against one another, he gave her nose a peck before asking in a raspy voice, “Clare, you really like me, don’t you?”
“Yea, yea. I like you very, very much…”
She was worried that if she didn’t reply, he would kiss her again till God knows when.
Matthew chuckled softly as he hugged Clarissa and caressed her back. He loved her so much that he just couldn’t keep his hands to himself.
“Good girl…”
Pouting her lips, Clarissa could feel that they were swollen. Rolling her eyes at him in her mind, she wondered what the extent of his lust was.
“Matthew, have you read my books before?”
When Matthew remained silent, Clarissa couldn’t help but burst into laughter. In her first book, she had written a lot about couple relationships. It was filled with cheesy romantic lines that girls loved to read.
However, the idea of Matthew reading a story like that was hilarious by itself.
“Hahahaha…”
Finally, no longer able to hold back, Clarissa laughed so hard that she could hardly catch her breath.
Only when she saw Matthew glaring at her did she stop laughing and squirmed her lips awkwardly.
“Actually, I’m really happy that you read my book and support my work. Haha… I am so touched, very touched.”
Matthew smirked as he replied, “Clare, I did read your book. And as you have said, I’m very supportive of your work.”
“Mmm-hmm, that’s good to know.”
However, she felt as if she was still missing something, enough to send a shiver down her spine.
Did I worry too much?
Matthew continued, “Other than looking at the stars, I saw what you wrote in the comments section. You were discussing with your readers how to have a good time in bed, and you sounded as if you’re great at it.”
Clarissa’s lips twitched as she suddenly wished for the ability to turn back time. Can I do that?
Obviously, no.
Seizing upon the opportunity, Matthew casually caressed her waist with his fingers while talking about positions in bed.
“Clare, I feel that your comments in the discussion were largely theoretical and too vague. Likely because you lack practical experience. It’s just too fake and not realistic at all. Isn’t a good author supposed to write from experience? Therefore, Clare, in support of your work, I will sacrifice myself to provide you with the practical experience you need. What do you think?”
“Haha…”
Clarissa just felt like shutting him up.
Next, she declined his offer with a smile. “Uncle Matthew, don’t you know the censorship board has been clamping down hard? I can’t be too realistic or I’ll be reported for breaking the rules.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s right! There’s really no need for you to sacrifice yourself as it’s better for me to keep it vague.”
“That’s such a pity.” Matthew quipped with a disappointed expression.
Glaring coldly at her, he looked as if he was about to eat her alive.
Laughing awkwardly, Clarissa wondered if she had escaped his grasp.
However, she soon realized it was premature to think so.
Matthew dropped the methods suggested in her novel. Instead, he became more direct which suited him better.
“Clare, I want to have you…”
“Erm…”
Clarissa had no excuse to deny him.
With her cheeks blushing and eyes glistening in response, she didn’t dare looked Matthew in the eye.
Cognizant of her feelings, he didn’t force her. Instead, he lowered his head and bit her lip forcefully, venting the frustration that he was trying hard to suppress.
Finally, Clarissa was frightened off due to Matthew’s aggressive advances. Besides that, she knew he was really busy and she didn’t want to take up anymore of his time.
After having a meeting downstairs, Clarissa was in no mood to do anything else. Hence, she dropped by Ellie’s studio instead.
Ellie was in a video call when she saw Clarissa approach. After ending the call shortly, Ellie turned her attention toward her.
“What is it? Is something bugging you? Or did you get into an argument with Uncle Matt?”
“No.”
Clarissa shook her head. Ellie was her one and only best friend and there was no one else for her to talk to about this.
However, Ellie was also Matthew’s niece, which made this topic particularly difficult to broach.
When she was still struggling with it, Ellie suddenly asked, “Problems with your sex life?”
“Err.. ahem! ahem!”
Choking, Clarissa blushed intensely.
Ellie gave her a look as she knew she had guessed correctly. Sitting down, she asked intently, “Is Uncle Matt not able to get it up?”
“Ahem… ahem…”
Clarissa coughed even louder.
Ellie’s eyes opened wider in response. “He really can’t?”
“No, it’s not that.”
With her cheeks flushed red, Clarissa mumbled, “I don’t know.”
“What? Clarissa, what did you say?”
“I don’t… Mmm-hmm…”
“What?”
Having heard Clarissa the first time, Ellie was expressing her surprise instead. Blushing further, Clarissa covered her ears while averting her gaze.
After a moment, Ellie remarked, “Alright, alright. I didn’t say anything. I’m just amazed at how Uncle Matt was able to restrain himself all this while.
Embarrassed, Clarissa’s lips pouted as she was lost for words.
“Therefore, what are you conflicted about? Does Uncle Matt not want it or are you stopping him from doing so?”
“It… It’s my problem. I’m a little scared.”
Ellie snorted, “What are you afraid of? It’s normal for a couple to be intimate with each other. What’s there to even fear of?”
Clarissa sneered in response, “Haha… look who’s talking. As if you have the experience.”
Ellie was stumped.
Is this how best friends treat each another?
“Fine, do you lack theoretical experience? If you’re worried, why don’t we do some research together?”
“How do we do that?”
After pondering a moment, Ellie called for Louisa to come over. Although Louisa was young, she was already married and had children, living up to her reputation as a “sexy momma”.
Ellie was upfront with her questions. “Come over here, Louisa. Given that you’re married, we have an interesting topic to discuss with you.”
With that, the three of them talked for the rest of the day. Louisa had shared with both girls what she knew.
In the beginning, Clarissa still felt shy about it while Ellie listened intently instead.
“Huh? Is that so? Wow… what? You can still do that? My God… even that!”
Finally, Clarissa realized that this too was a whole field of knowledge by itself.
Furthermore, Louisa had allayed all the fears Clarissa had by reassuring and educating her.
At the end of it, she even sent them some educational videos which they could watch at home.
“Ms. Tyson, Clary, these are from my secret stash. Even my husband doesn’t know about it. You should watch them in detail. After that, there’s a lot more to discuss…”
“Yes, definitely.”
Nodding in agreement, Ellie received them excitedly.
As for Clarissa, her lips twitched while she closed her notebook. She planned to watch the videos when Matthew wasn’t at home.
If she managed to allay all her concerns, she figured it would be a wonderful experience to share with Matthew.
Feeling that she had gotten a lot out of the discussion, Clarissa felt the subject was no longer as daunting as she imagined.
Back at Zen Highlands, while Matthew hadn’t returned from work, Clarissa considered watching the educational videos shared by Louisa. After hesitating for a long while, she decided to lock herself in the room and watched it.
