AURORA’S POV.I sat there in one spot as I watched him with immense curiosity, finding it hard to figure out the true colour of the man standing before me. One minute he was cold; the next, he was sweet; the next minute, he was sexy as hell.Right now, he looked sexy. He looked like a model on a magazine cover.I watched his lips move, his fingers demonstrating what he explained as he pointed to the projecting board. He looked so serious, and it was so cute.It made my pussy squeeze a little in response to his masculinity.“We have had this method in use for months now, and I assure you that the effectiveness is shocking. All we have to do is take this project acceptance to....”His words trailed off in my head. It got fainter and fainter as though we have been drifted apart. My gaze locked on his lips. His beautiful, powerful lips. The same lips that I wanted on me.He looked my way briefly, our eyes meeting for a second before he looked away as though he had read my mind.I suddenly
ADRIEL’S POV.I couldn’t believe my eyes the moment they landed on her. I couldn't believe that she was the one I was seeing right now—the same female had run off from the last time at the party. Too bad I never got to get her number.I had gone to get her a cold drink only to return to see her gone. Heaven knows I was pained because it reminded me of many things. It reminded me of traumas I thought I had let go of. Memories I thought I had buried. People I thought I had forgotten. People hurt me and stabbed me in so many ways.I could see the shock on her face. I could see that she wasn't expecting to see me. I could see her lips drop down a little.It made me wonder what she would do this time.Would she run? Would she ignore me, pretend not to see me?I doubted that she could.“Oh, Adriel!” She said sweetly, to my uttermost surprise and leaned in to hug me warmly. “I didn't think I was going to see you again. I didn't.....I’m so sorry about last time. I don't have an excuse, but I’
JAX’S POV.It was already five days since we arrived here in Florida. Our conversations had gone back to normal, but most of the time, it was about work. I couldn't understand what was off between us. It wasn't like I offended her or she offended me.But all the same, something was off.I decided to take her out today for a little sightseeing, and then maybe we could branch by one of the best restaurants I had heard of. I knew she would love the food there.I walked towards her room, a brown bag in my hand. I stretched my right hand forth to land a knock on the door softly. I heard a low “Come in,” I twisted the knob and then pushed it open.Today wasn’t much free, but it was a free morning. We had till three before attending to any work. Work has been going smoothly, although it was stressful. I was glad that I had come with Aurora; she had been of great help, giving me ideas and all.She was lying on the bed, the duvet covering most of her body. She raised her head to look at me, th
AURORA’S POV.I wanted to tell him so badly. I wanted to say it. I just wanted to let it out and watch his expression. But I couldn't. Even as I sat here, his fingers under my jaw, I knew I had not yet let him know. Hearing him talk to me softly made my whole body vibrate and made my woman react to his touch. React to the warmth his eyes held.Would he look at me the same way if I told him? Would he talk so softly with him, or would he shout?I know it's nothing more than “I’m pregnant.” But don't blame me if I couldn't tell him of it. As simple as those words were, they carried a lot of weight. It carried too much weight.My phone rang just in time to save me from making a mess of our friendship and everything. It was Gary who called. I stared at my phone for a second as I wondered if I was to pick it up or ignore it. Finally, I picked it up and watched Jax drop his fingers, and I saw that as a great opportunity to get out of the seat and walk away from him, far enough for him not to
THIRD PERSON’S POV.“It's a surprise.” He informed her and continued to drive, not minding to dive into more details.But what was he to say?Spill out everything and ruin in what should have been the look of surprise on her face.Definitely no.He aimed to bring back the bond they used to have. Maybe it would soften her enough to tell him what was bothering her.She said nothing more, her eyes looking out the window as she hoped the trip would be worth it.The music box continued to sing, playing different jams by various artists. Jax flowed with few, munching on the words he believed were the lyrics. He couldn't vibe to some because he knew nothing of it.A slow jam came on, something about love and heartbreak. He gulped down some lump of saliva that had gotten stuck in his throat. It felt weird and awkward to him that his body reacted to the song.Aurora felt her heart hurt. She felt terrible that she was keeping this from him. But she knew this was for the best.The drive continu
AURORA’S POV. The whole trip was more exciting and fun than I thought it would be. We visited places we could see and got some goodies to go with. The Universal Orlando Resort was vast, and it contained more beautiful places to sightsee. They had Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay Water Theme Park. They had great rides in them. It was impossible to see them all in hours; Jax said it would take at least four to five days to take enough beauty in. When he told me of the existence of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and how I could live the dreams of seeing most scenes from the series firsthand, I just knew that I had to go.A smile stayed glued to my lips as we walked forward. He had brought the suggestion of staying in the Universal Hotel, and I didn’t hesitate. It would give us early access to the park, amongst its numerous other benefits. I had no idea how long we would stay here, given that we came with zero clothes. Guess it wasn’t well planned, but I w
JAX’S POV. I paced around the room in silence as I awaited her arrival. She had been in the restroom for about thirty minutes, and I considered barging in there to bring her out. What if something wrong had happened to her? Or maybe the clothes I got were so terrible.It was my first time getting any female a gift especially shopping for clothes. I was starting to rethink why I didn’t take her with me instead and have her pick. I just got there and picked what I believed would size her.What if I was wrong? Unable to think straight, I stepped closer to the door and landed a knock on the door.“Aurora!” I called out, placing my ear on the door. “You good?” I asked even before she could respond. Her response didn’t come until later when she pulled the door open to reveal herself dressed in a Blue gown that was twice not her size. It was so small that I wondered how she got in.“This was the only one I could wear. The others wouldn’t even pass through my shoulder region.” She said on
AURORA’S POV.I could feel his finger brushing my hair to the side and trailing down my left cheek softly and gently.I pulled my eyes open to see him staring at me. His blue eyes were so beautiful and calm. So enticing and captivating.“Good morning, beautiful.” He muttered softly and leaned in to place a kiss on my forehead.“Good morning,” I mumbled with a bright smile.My pussy is still sore from yesterday’s fun. My body weirdly yearned for more of his touch. My eyes trailed to his lips, the one he couldn't take off my body, kissing every inch and part of me. Seeing him staring at me in this way, with this expression on his face. As though I was all that mattered to me, it made my heart melt and smile.”Yesterday was amazing.” He said, and a shy smile curled up my lips. We have never spoken about our sex together. We often act like strangers the next day, or he starts to talk about how we shouldn't have done it. But for a weird reason, today was different. It made me wish that
