Chapter 8- The Morning After

Adrian woke up to Aria sleeping in his arms, with her face buried deep into his chest. He kissed her on the shoulder softly and looked down at her, thinking she looked like she had been through hell, with her messy hair, sore lips and body that was covered in love bites.

“I should have stopped at three” he thought to himself, thinking he had pushed her body to its limit, and she had kept up nicely. Aria stirred in her sleep and pushed him away; with the little energy she had left to fight. Adrian wondered if she was having a nightmare as her eyes were still closed.

“You ok there beautiful?” He asked quietly as he touched her face lovingly, taking in her pretty features. Aria felt too tired to reply, although she had heard him nice and clearly. Adrian kissed her on her shoulder softly and watched her sleep, thinking that was it, after today he wasn’t sure when he would see her again.

Aria woke up to him kissing her neck softly and gently stroking her thighs.

“ I’m so tired” she said with a small smile as she snuggled against him with her eyes more then half closed. Adrian looked down at her, thinking last night had been one hell of a night.

“Anything I can do to make you better?” He asked quietly. Aria kissed him on his chest softly and looked up into his eyes,

“Yes if you could carry to me to the shower that would be great” she said with a small smile as she felt too tired to walk.

Adrian kissed her on the lips softly and looked down at with a small smirk,

“I was hoping you would say something else, but this will do” he said before he picked her up from the bed easily and carried her to the dim lit bathroom, his dark grey eyes not leaving hers once.

Half an hour later and Aria had finally finished getting dressed after having a quick shower and washing away all evidence of last night from her body. She dried her hair with a towel and waited for Adrian to finish showering, thinking last night had been nothing short of amazing and she would willingly go through it all again along as there was no strings attached as she couldn’t risk falling in love again. She shivered as she remembered a moment from her past, thinking she had definitely come a long way.

She had covered as much marks as she could on her body but there still a few that looked more noticeable than the others.

“Are you ready? “Adrian asked her the moment he stepped out of the bathroom and buttoned up his shirt. Aria looked up at him,

“I am yes” she said with a small smile as she got a few of her things together and followed him out of the room that smelt strong of sex mixed with the nice expensive perfume he was wearing.

The walk of shame to the lower deck on the yacht didn’t go unnoticed and the moment they stepped off the few steps they were greeted by the cook who looked like he had been waiting for their arrival patiently.

“Shall I serve breakfast sir” he asked with a small polite smile, trying his best to no look awkward. Adrian gave him a small nod,

“Make it quick” he said before he led Aria to the same table, they had dinner at yesterday.

“I can’t wait to eat” Aria said as she down next to him and tied all of her little wet hair up in a messy bun. Adrian looked over at her,

“Same,” he said with a small smirk, thinking yesterday they had both left the table before the main course had even been served.

It wasn’t long before the cook bought over their breakfast and left them both with two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice with ice,

“ What times our flight to New-York?” Aria asked Adrian with a small smile as she broke some of her chocolate crepe with a fork and took a bite of it, thinking it tasted yummy. Adrian drank some of his strong coffee and looked at her with a serious look,

“ 4pm, well leave the hotel around 2:45” he said as the yacht slowly made its way back to Istanbul.

Aria drank some of her juice and looked out the beautiful blue water,

“ Thank you for the last few days, I’ve really enjoyed myself” she said to Adrian with a small smile on her pretty face, thinking he looked deep in thought about something. Adrian listened to her quietly,

“ Good to know” he said with a very small smile, thinking she looked stunning, even though she was barely wearing any makeup.

“And of course, last night was the cherry on top” Aria added as she felt a dull ache between her legs.

Adrian leaned back against his seat and looked at her with a small smirk,

“ I’m surprised you can still walk” he said quietly, in his slightly deep sexy voice.

“ You have no idea how hard it was to get out bed” Aria said with a smile.

“If I remember correctly, I’m the one who carried you out beautiful” Adrian said with a small mocking smirk on the corner of his lips.

“Oh yeah you did” Aria said quietly, thinking she had forgotten.

After breakfast they both walked around the yacht for one last time.

“I’ll be back in a minute” Adrian said to Aria as he took his ringing phone out of his pocket and walked a little away for better signal.

“That’s fine” Aria said before she turned her attention back to the water.

She was busy looking out when she heard someone call her name from behind and it wasn’t Adrian as she knew his voice too well. She turned around slowly and too her surprise there was no one there.

“That’s weird” she thought to herself as she was sure she wasn’t hearing stuff.

She wondered if Adrian was trying to scare her, although that didn’t seem like something he would do.

The moment she looked back at the water, she heard it again and this time it sounded clearer. She quickly turned around and walked over to where Adrian was standing.

“Yeah, that’s fine, send over the details” Adrian said to one of his men on the phone. Aria stopped when she realised, he was still talking, which meant it wasn’t him.

Adrian turned around slowly and looked at her with a serious look,

“What’s wrong?” He asked quietly as he walked towards her, thinking she looked like she had seen a ghost.

“I thought you called me” Aria said as she played with her hands, although deep down she knew the voice did not sound like his at all.

“ That or did you want to eavesdrop of my conversation?” Adrian asked with a small smirk. Aria looked at him,

“ I could have done anyways if I really wanted to” she said before she turned around and walked away, giving him a good view of her bubble butt.

Adrian slipped his phone into pocket and looked around the large deck, thinking even he had felt like he was being watched but he wasn’t going to tell her that as she already seemed a little scared.

It wasn’t long before the yacht pulled up at the dock and Aria followed Adrian off. She was walking out when she bumped into someone who had walked right into her deliberately.

“ Sorry” Aria said softly, although it wasn’t her fault. By the time she had looked up the guy had already walked past her in a blink of eye.

She shivered slightly and watched him leave, thinking he smelt too familiar, almost like she had seen him before.
