NOAHI have never understood women and their desires to hide their bodies after sex, "Do not come in the shower for goodness sake, and find me something to wear because I don't plan to come out naked," Aria yells in the bathroom. "Yes ma'am," I chuckle, pulling off the condom slowly from my cock that is still hard and ready to go for another round or two. I am going easy on her today but next time I won't. She did make a run for the bathroom, the moment our orgasm hit, it was mind-blowing even for me, just hearing her moan my name so loud. I would do anything to fuck her senseless again just to hear it. I toss the condom into the trash bin and wear my brief quickly, before arranging the bed. I pull off the bed sheet and toss it into the basket, then spread a new bed sheet tucking it in place. I walk to the closet and pick out a soft, comfortable robe for Aria, thinking she'll appreciate the gentle touch on her skin after our intense lovemaking. I hear the water turn off in the bat

NOAHShould I have waited in the car? Why is she walking towards me with her parents by her side and why do they look perfectly fine I think to myself as I watch Aria approach me with her parents.The last time I spoke to her father was over the buyout of his company, the conversation had not exactly played out as I planned or maybe I just underestimated Mr. Hayes and his desire to protect his company. I remember the phone call vividly - his firm tone, his refusal to back down. I had underestimated him, and it cost me. But what's done is done. As Aria and her parents approach me, I can't help but wonder what they're thinking. Do they still hold a grudge over me wanting to buy out their company? Do they know about the surrogacy my mother offered Aria? She seems so close to her mother, perhaps she had mentioned it to her. I try to push my thoughts aside and focus on the present moment. Aria's father extends his hand, once they close the distance between us and I shake it, trying to

ARIAMelissa turns around to face Noah, the mean glare on her face fading away and replaced by a teary-eyed I know all too well. At this point, she should be given an Oscar award for best actress."Oh Noah, thank Goodness you are here. I saw Aria, and I came to greet her but then she got really mad at me and started hurling insults at me to stay away from you and then she hit me across the face," Melissa lies."Aria hit you across the face?" Noah questions, a look of disbelief in his eyes. "See," she cries out removing her hand from her face to show him my palm still printed on her face, looking at it now, I think I should have slapped her harder than I did. Noah extends his hand to Melissa's arm and turns her to the side looking closely at the mark on her cheek.Why is he even touching her? Does he believe her pathetic lies because even a blind man can see she is pretending, well maybe the slap did hurt her, but she is lying.His eyes narrow, his expression unreadable. "Melissa, wh

NOAHDammit!I have placed her in a spot, look at her eyes, I can see the desire to say yes, but also the confusion at how soon this is all happening. I knew I should have waited a bit, but I don't think I can.The thought of someone else and not me being her life is going to completely wreck me. I always have this ring, it has been in the family for ages, all I had to do was ask my mother for it. She was stunned when I asked, "Are you sure Noah? I mean I am happy you are finally asking for the ring, but are you sure you want it?" She asked."Aria, you don't have to say anything right now," I say, not wanting to get rejected. Her rejection will hurt more than her silence. "How about you think about it? I don't want to pressure you into anything okay?" I say holding her hand and placing the ring in her hand. "Y-You want me to think about it, while I hold on to the ring?" She stutters. "That's a lot of pressure Noah, and... And this ring looks like a family heirloom."Of course, she d

ARIAMelissa stands in the doorway, a stern expression on her face. "Well, what do we have here?" she says, her voice firm but polite. What the hell is she doing here and how did she get in? Did Noah not close the door? I am sure he wouldn't have made that mistake, to keep the door open."What the hell are you doing here and how did you get in?" I ask, my voice getting loud with each word.Melissa chuckles and walks into the room, her eyes scanning the space as if searching for something. "I have a spare key, what? Did you think you are the only one Noah has brought to this cabin?"Rolling my eyes, I kiss my teeth not answering her question, it doesn't matter who has been here before. Although, I am jealous of the idea of him sharing this space with another woman, but he has made it clear that I am all he needs in his life and that is enough for me. "Anyways," she continues. "I wanted to see Noah, I have been trying to reach him since last night but he wasn't picking up my calls."O
