Adriana Jensen~•~I waited up for Saint.Well, I tried to.At first, I was going to wait in my outfit for him to come back because I felt like he didn’t have the time to properly look at me, but I quickly became uncomfortable in the wear and ended up changing to a regular T-shirt and shorts.I stayed in the living room and watched the TV while waiting and simultaneously ignoring the group texts. I didn’t know what was going to happen after I told them Benjamin cheated on me with Fabiola. Would they hate her? Or would they understand her and take her side?I was scared. I had lost Fab already. I didn’t want to lose any more of my friends.I didn’t know when I dozed off on the couch but when I woke up the next morning, I was on the bed and sheets were over me.When did Saint get back? Did he carry me inside?I felt bad that I was taking up his bed while he was struggling on the couch, but I knew if I offered to share the bed with me, he would shoot it down pretty fast. He was obsessed
Adriana Jensen~•~It was time to test my self-control, aka, how long I was going to last without snapping at Benjamin and Fabiola.The first item on Ben’s mom, Lucia’s, list was a Millionaire Row Bay Cruise. As I was getting ready, Saint casually mentioned that he booked the full cruise. While Lucia was in charge of planning, Saint was the one to fund everything. He liked his privacy and for the first time, I hated the fact that he was so extra and luxurious.How was he so damn rich anyway? The moment I complained about my father’s failing business, he helped immediately. He booked four suites in such an expensive hotel and he was basically paying for everything that was to happen during the trip.“Can’t you cancel and book what is necessary?” I questioned when we finished getting ready. Since it was summer, it was hot out so we were wearing minimal clothes. Saint was wearing a white tank top and a blue shirt over it with the buttons undone, paired with white shorts that went over h
Adriana Jensen~•~The boat ride was supposed to be amazing, but it was awkward as well. Wait, I couldn’t consider it a boat. It was a literal ship. I came from a rich family but this was next-level shit.We were allowed to go out in the water and swim for a while or surf so we all changed into our swimwear. However, I wasn’t interested in swimming.Ben’s mother and father were inside while the four of us were left outside, lying on those black chairs.Ben and Fab were busy talking animatedly about who knew what. I was tempted to push one of them in the water. They were so shameless.“Are you two together now?” Saint spoke, catching their attention.“What? No.” Ben was quick to deny it, missing the dissatisfied look on Fabiola’s face. That brought me satisfaction. Ben looked toward me as though he was asking me if his uncle knew. I didn’t bother to give him any indication that he knew.If Saint asked about his relationship with Fab, he should already know something was wrong. He could
Saint Giordano~•~Something was very wrong with me.I didn’t know what exactly possessed me to open my phone, tap on my camera icon, and take pictures of Adriana on my phone, thinking that I would delete them after sending them to her.I couldn’t be any more wrong.Just as I had told her, the pictures were beautiful. They weren’t just beautiful, they were hot, enticing, seductive, everything that would make a grown man sin.I’d repeatedly told myself that I wasn’t going to have anything to do with her because she was still an immature child but I couldn’t stop myself from scrolling through her pictures on my phone. It irritated me that she was posting those pictures online and when I’d logged into my anonymous account and saw the comments hungry boys left under it, I was agitated.Adriana just didn’t know the power she held over me.The first time I saw her was a party where her family and mine had been invited to. I wouldn’t call it an obsession but I was intrigued at first sight. H
Adriana Jensen~•~I didn’t get the deal with Saint. I didn’t know if my advances were working or not. He was nice to me and I didn’t think he was generally a nice man. He looked like the man who wouldn’t engage in anything except it benefitted him but he was continually nice to me. Then again, he didn’t look at me twice.Was wearing minimal items of clothing a cheap move? Did it repulse him?These were all questions I wished I could ask but I didn’t have the temerity. I’d been staying with him for five days and whenever we were inside the suite, I always walked around with a tank top two sizes too small and a pair of booty shorts but his eyes never lingered. Was he not interested in me at all? Was that the problem?I shook my head. I decided not to let this affect me. It wasn’t like I liked him. I found him attractive, yes, but I didn’t want to date him or anything. I just wanted to caress my ego and let him take my virginity.There was a knock on the room door that startled me. He
Adriana Jensen~•~A lot of people would back down after being embarrassed but it only strengthened my resolve.I wanted him even more.I didn’t know if he was playing hard to get or if he was just trying to respect the fact that I used to be with his nephew, but I didn’t mind. He was attracted to my body and I was going to make use of the said body to make him fall.Saint had been the one to sponsor the trip. It made me wonder if she came for a vacation or other business as he was always going out alone.It was nighttime already, but he wasn’t back yet. As usual, I checked his location but I frowned when I saw that he was still around the hotel, unmoving.I wanted to call him but I had a feeling that would just result in him turning off his location and possibly, his phone so I wouldn’t be able to contact him. We hadn’t spoken yesterday after he addressed the issue of me trying to seduce him so it was kind of awkward around us.Sighing, I opened the door to the balcony and stepped ou
Adriana Jensen~•~“Adriana,” he called my name in a mocking tone. “You’re a naive virgin who doesn’t know anything about a man actually wanting her.” My cheeks bloomed red at the insult and I was already done with him. “So if you think you can handle me–“I didn’t wait for him to finish before I ripped his hand away from my neck. I’d given him an opportunity and he couldn’t just shut up and take it. He just had to remind me that nobody wanted me.I removed his jacket from my shoulders and threw it on the ground with anger. I tried to walk away but he didn’t let me this time. He grabbed my hand and backed me against the wall again, his eyes flashing dangerously. “Where do you think you’re going?”“If you don’t want me, you can just say that. You don’t have to put it out that nobody wants me as well. It’s disrespectful.”“Nobody wants you? Darling, you couldn’t be any further from the truth.”Men liked my body, yes, but other than that, there was nothing special about me that would mak
Saint Giordano~•~I had told Adriana not to regret it before I kissed her but I was the one currently regretting it,No, I didn’t hate the kiss nor did I hate her.I just hated the fact that I gave in to my desires and kissed her because I wanted it again. I knew it would be a bad decision once I considered shutting her up by kissing her but I just couldn’t help myself. I was down bad for her but she only wanted me as revenge.I wasn’t blind or stupid. There was no way she fell out of love with Ben within a week and fell for me. I wanted her to want me but I had never been a delusional man.I didn’t like stubborn women, but Adriana was stubborn as fuck. She was also very relentless. I thought she was finally going to back off after yesterday, but it seemed to make her try harder. I always prided myself in having self-control but things like that didn’t exist when she pranced around our suite wearing the littlest of clothes as though she knew how easily she could move me.Fuck. I was
Adriana Jensen~•~“Baby, if you don’t cheer up, people will think I did something bad to you.”I made a sound that was somewhere between a laugh and a sniffle. “I’m happy,” I assured him. “It’s just weird that all three of us will never be in the same class again. Everyone will get busy.”“You can do your masters together?” He offered.I made a face. “I don’t want to study anymore.”Saint laughed and pulled me closer to him so he could drop a kiss on my forehead. “You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to.”Just those few words had me feeling better and looking forward to our vacation. “Where are we going this time?”“Where do you want to go?”I chuckled. “You already have it planned out. Do you intend to change it if I say a different location?”He nodded.“Just tell me.”“How do you like Italy?” He asked as he played with my hair.A big grin immediately came on my face. “We’re going to Italy?” I squealed. On our last vacation, we went to Paris. Saint was taking me to all the
Adriana Jensen~•~The last six months of my life have been the best, mainly because of my relationship with Saint. We had our fights here and there because two stubborn people in a relationship were bound to be trouble, but we always got over it.Well, Saint forced me to talk whenever I gave him the silent treatment. He was the mature one. Sometimes, I wondered if he was tired of dating a younger girl. If he was, he never showed it.I was currently at a restaurant with my family and Saint’s family, including Ben, yes. Over time, I’d learned to tolerate him, but he did apologize a few months ago so we were good. I would never get along with him the way I got along with Luca but I didn’t try to scratch out his eyes whenever I saw him so there was that.Benjamin and Fabiola hadn’t lasted. Word got out that Fabiola cheated on Ben, but after that, we all found out that Ben was also cheating on Fabiola. Apparently, they were in love and were both devastated by the other’s cheating even if
Adriana Jensen~•~“What are you up to this time?”It was cold out but as always, fashion came first. I was wearing a dress and Saint took advantage of that, bunching it up so he could trace my slit through my panties.He chuckled. “How are you playing games when you’re this wet?”I shrugged. “Maybe, I just like the chase.”“You like the chase?” He asked to confirm and I nodded.Saint took a step back and his eyes ran up and down my body once. His eyes were dark, almost predatory. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, I ran.The door was still open and I heard them start to close before I heard his slow footsteps behind me. He wasn’t running. I had never been good at sports and he was taller than I was so it wasn’t surprising that he only had to walk to catch up with me.My dress was making it harder to run and I was tempted to just take it off, but it was going to make it easier for him. That wasn’t what I wanted.“You’re making this harder for yourself.” He
Adriana Jensen~•~My jaw dropped.Right from time, my mom had been cool about our relationship. She had been the first to approve all those months ago. Why was she asking such a question that implied that Saint was a creep?“Mom!” I hissed out, but she blatantly ignored me, staring at the man beside me, and awaiting his answer. I turned to Saint. “You don’t have to answer that.”Saint also ignored me. “I’m not certain what you mean by that, ma’am, but if you’re asking if I’m only attracted to younger girls, then the answer is no. I like Adriana because she is Adriana. If I only liked her for her age, then I’m afraid our relationship wouldn’t last, would it?”“So you mean you’ll be together for a long time?”“A very long time,” Saint affirmed with a tight smile. I knew the question was uncomfortable but he had handled the situation well. It was one of the reasons I liked Saint. He was always in control. “She’s smart, funny, beautiful, kind, and doesn’t give up.” My cheeks heated up at
Saint Giordano~•~“Are you nervous?” Adriana asked me.I arched an eyebrow and stared pointedly at the leg that had been shaking for the past few minutes. With a chuckle, I placed one hand on her leg while the other was on the steering wheel. “Baby, I think you’re the one who’s nervous.”She laughed dryly. “Me? Nervous? Why would I be nervous?”“You tell me.” I gave a one-shouldered shrug. “Why are you nervous?”“I’m not nervous. I’ve lived with them for years:”“If you say so, baby.” I let her believe whatever she wanted.We were having Thanksgiving dinner at her parents’ place. According to her, it would be the first time I was officially meeting them so everything had to go well. I told her not to worry but she was worried anyway.It didn’t matter that her sisters were also bringing their partners. She had main character energy so she thought all the attention would be on her. It was cute.I didn’t know why she was so worried. Her father already knew I was going to marry her, whic
Adriana Jensen~•~I sighed at the reminder of my meeting with Lisa. I had called her earlier this week saying that we could meet up. The relief in her voice was obvious. She had been waiting for more than a month after all. It was already time for us to meet, but I was going to make her wait a bit more. She had me waiting for her for years before I accepted the fact that I had a new mother.“She can wait for me. After all, I waited a long time for her.”Saint chuckled, squeezing my shoulder in a comforting manner. “True.”Before me, Saint went to work all the days of the week. He even tried to do it on some weekends since I moved in with him, but I was stubborn and bratty (according to him) so I didn’t let him. Our compromise was to let him work from home instead, but for shorter hours and with breaks in between.“Just let me know when you’re ready. I’ll drive you.”I looked at the time. It was thirty minutes past the time we planned to meet but she hadn’t called yet. I guess I cou
Adriana Jensen ~•~Living with Saint was more fun than I expected it to be. It gave me an inkling of what our married life was going to be like… except Luca living with us, of course.Fuck. I was so down bad. I wanted to be a wife so badly and it was starting to get in my head. I wouldn’t be surprised if I ended up proposing to him instead. We had been together for only three months yet I loved him this much.It was never like this with Ben. Maybe I didn’t love him at all.But then again, Ben never treated me the way Saint did. Ben didn’t go out of his way to make me comfortable. He didn’t make time out of his busy schedule to cook for me. He didn’t consider me before making a decision. He didn’t decline business because of me. He didn’t take me on a trip as an apology.Things were different with Saint and I knew it. I just hoped it wouldn’t end badly.“Apart from trying to constantly trick me into bed,” Saint started one afternoon when I was in his home office with him while he work
Adriana Jensen~•~The two men stopped what they were doing to look up, getting surprised when they saw that it was me.“Adriana.” Saint was the first to break the silence. “I didn’t know you were coming?” It came out more like a question.I smiled awkwardly. “Yeah, I’m just gonna go.” I took a step back. “I’ll let you guys talk. See you later.”I turned around, more than ready to bolt out of that place when my father’s voice stopped me. “Adriana.”I did one-eighty. “Yes?”“Come in.”I was reluctant to go in and it amused Saint. I knew that at some point, both of them were going to have to be in the same room, but I didn’t expect that it would be today. Besides, why the hell were they meeting without me? What did they have to talk about? Who initiated the visit?“Are you going to keep the door open?” Saint added.I glared at him, but took a step inside and closed the door behind me. “Hi, dad.”He gave me a once over, assessing my get-up. “Are you coming back from school?” I nodded. “A
Adriana Jensen~•~Sofia and Charlotte came to a halt and they both stared at me before they turned to look at the woman who was starting to get on my nerves.“Who is she?” Charlotte leaned in to whisper.I sighed. This woman was determined to get into every part of my life, wasn’t she? “You guys can go ahead. Give me a second.”Charlotte looked like she wanted to ask more questions, but Sofia dragged her away and gave me my space. I walked closer to Lisa. “What do you want this time?”“Can we talk?”“I doubt we have anything to talk about,” I informed her with a fake smile. “And if I spend more time with you now, I’ll be late for my class.”I turned to leave, but she held my wrist. “I’m sorry.” She breathed out. “I know very well that I’m at fault for leaving you and I was a bitch for approaching you like that the first time. I just thought you wouldn’t want to listen to my endless apologies.”“You’re right.” I snatched my hand away and turned around, feeling something other than ang
