I couldn't wait till dawn break. I was so excited about going on a yacht that I couldn't sleep. The excitement I felt was like that of a five-year-old kid on Christmas Eve. Aziel on the other hand was sleeping so peacefully with his arm slung around my waist. I could feel him breathe on my hair. I noticed that we were no longer in the position we had fallen asleep in, we were now much closer. The pillows I had put between us last night to divide the bed were no longer there, they were now behind me which only meant that I had been the one to cross over them and I was sleeping on Aziel's side of the bed. I should have taken his arm off my body, I should have moved back to my side of the bed, I should have but I didn't. I didn't because somehow I liked how close he was to me, I liked the way his arm felt around my body and how his body heat kept me warm in ways that I couldn't explain. I liked the smell of his cologne, aftershave, and a scent unique to him. And so that's why I didn't
I gazed at Aziel over my glass as I sip on my nonalcoholic wine. And I thought he was the most gorgeous person I’d ever seen at that moment. I was quite aware that he was watching me. And for the first time, it didn’t make me feel uncomfortable. I slipped a grape between my lips, smiling coyly as my teeth crush the skin, exploding the juices into my mouth. I then reached for a strawberry and he deliberately snatched it just as my fingertip touched the ripened fruit. He grinned as he took a large bite. I pouted slightly at him and he smiled affectionately and fed me the rest. My eyes smiled back at him.We continued on. Refilling our wine glasses and eating slowly. Just enough to enjoy the taste and savory of the wine. Neither of us spoke a word. Time stood still. It felt like it had just stopped for yd. An eternity to enjoy each other’s company. He watching me. Me being watched. Anyone who saw wouldn’t have a doubt in mind that our marriage wasn’t as it seemed. We looked like we wer
Aziel pushed me backward till I was backed up against a rail. With his hands moving from my waist to hold my face, he deepened the kiss. He suddenly bit my bottom lip, I gasped at that and he took that opportunity to invade my mouth with his tongue. I didn't need to be told what to do next. I brushed my tongue with his and he let out a low groan that I found so hot for some weird reason. He sucked on my bottom lip, and my eyes would have rolled back into my skull if my eyes hadn’t been closed. One of his hands moved to get tangled in my hair, the other on my waist pulling me close to him. My fingers were buried in his soft silky black hair, pulling on it lightly. Aziel sucked on my tongue and I thought I was gonna collapse right there and then. If I hadn't had the railings behind me as a support, I probably would have. My heart was beating faster than I'd ever heard it. It was pounding so hard that I feared it would explode. I pulled him back with his hair. I needed to breathe. I
The soft sound of the ocean waves woke me up.I opened my eyes and picked up my phone to check the time. It was almost seven am. I unlocked it and then replied to all the messages I received over the night. I'd got three from Alex which was her basically asking me what the yacht ride was like and that I should send more pictures of myself on the yacht. Two were from my younger sister (she had texted it from my mom's phone). The messages were just about her keeping me updated on everyone at home and how they needed money for her and my other siblings' tuition fees and how my mom's restaurant wasn't doing well because there isn't enough money to get the necessary ingredients for the dishes. I replied back with a promise to send her money later in the day. I was yet to receive the half payment as agreed by our contract from Aziel. And I'd been meaning to ask him about it since our wedding day, I'd just been holding out to see if he would bring it up first. I decided that I was going t
Aziel walked out of the bathroom with a towel tied around his waist, loosely. The more I stared at it the more I feared that it would fall. The towel was so low on his waist that I could see the v-line just below his abs. I found myself gawking at the happy trail that went from his belly button down into his towel and…and. My eyes slowly glanced up from his waist up to his abs and chiseled chest. It wasn’t until my eyes met his that I realized what I’d just done and the magnitude of it. My eyes widened when I realized that I’d been caught red-handed staring at him, by him. He had a knowing look in his eyes and a sly smirk played on his lips and that made my skin flush in an instant. “Um, s-so-sorry. I didn’t mean to…” I apologized looking away quickly as my eyes tried to find something else to settle on. “You look beautiful.” He said and I glanced at him momentarily.“If you keep complimenting me like that, I might get used to it.” I said with a coy smile on my lips, trying so hard
I swallowed hard, making sure my eyes didn't meet his. My ears were red and I had to stop myself from dashing out of the room from embarrassment.I mean why did he ask if he could kiss me if he was just going to pull back halfway? Why did he get so close when he wasn't going to kiss me? Why did he suddenly realize that I had something to say? Why did it have to be at that moment? For some reason unbeknownst to me, I felt a pang of disappointment from deep within me. I tried as much as possible not to let the disappointment I felt show on my face but with the way he was staring intently at me, I wouldn’t be surprised if he could tell. I let out a small breath and nodded my head slowly, answering his question. "Yeah, I do." I said while making eye contact. It was hard to hold it especially 'cause he was so close, I could literally smell him and his lips were just at eye level. It didn’t help that he was wearing close to nothing too. I mean I was sure he was stark naked under that tow
There was a moment of silence and although Aziel’s expression gave nothing about his opposition, his silence was loud enough. “I-I mean five days?” I stuttered a bit silently hoping he wouldn’t oppose it again. I waited, waited for him to say yes and that we could stay on the island for five days but after a few moments I realized that that time may never come. I didn’t have to hear him say him out loud before knowing that he thought five days was too much for our honeymoon. Tch, didn’t he just say I could stay for as long as I wanted? Perhaps he meant in hours of the day and not days. But, isn’t your honeymoon supposed to be at least a week long? Did it matter if the marriage wasn’t real or not? Shouldn’t he use this opportunity to take as much time as needed away from work? So much for saying I didn’t have to worry about him returning to the office. I fought the urge to roll my eyes and just nodded instead. Pretending like his silent refusal hadn’t hurt a bit. “Um…I think I
My heart sunk further into my chest when he took a step forward. He took another and another in my direction.He was getting closer and I thought my heart was going to explode in my chest. He looked really mad. What is he going to do? He isn’t going to hit me right? I’m pregnant and he’s a gentleman and…and…shit! He was really coming over to me. I panicked and hurriedly jumped off my seat. I won’t even try to deny it, I was scared of him. I was scared of the expression on his face and more importantly, I was scared of what he was going to do to me when he finally reached me. I pushed the chair back with the back of my knee and in my attempt to escape before he reached me, plates and silverware on the table fell to the ground, making a clattering noise. I didn’t even bother to wait or check the severity of the damage I’d done, I dashed for the door. Or rather tried to. I’d barely managed to take two steps before I before a large hand grasp my arm. I gasped from shock and before I c
