“What was all that about?” He asks smugly. I blush and I cannot hold back a smile as I glare at his body. He waits patiently as I try to respond.
“Nothing the glass just slipped.” I lie. The glass did not just slip but I totally lost all grip on it as I stared at Adrian. That was the first time I have ever seen him like that and his body took me by surprise. I never expected him to have arms like that and I never expected him to take his shirt off. I sigh and I again look over at him. He is like a god and I cannot tear my eyes away from him.
“Aren’t you too hot in that dress?” He asks and I know what he is referring to. I do not respond to his words instead I stand up and with one swift movement; I lift my dress to reveal my black bikini. Adrian glares at me and I watch as a gentle smile comes to his face. I nervously flick my hair down my back and I again sit on the lounger. Adrian turns to me.
“Baby, come over to me.” My heart races slightly and I do as he says. I walk over to him and I stand by his bedside. He sits up and he takes off his sunglasses. He looks up at me as he gently strokes my bullet wound.
“Does this still hurt?” He says coolly.
“No I don’t suffer pain anymore.” I say crisply. Adrian adjusts his eyes as he looks up at me.
“Are you insecure about the scar?” He asks. I look down at my scar and I shake my head.
“Not really, it’s fine.” I admit. Adrian has a very serious look on his face as he gently strokes my abdomen.
“If you want to get it removed I can help you,” he says. I narrow my eyes at him and I say.
“No, it doesn’t bother me and anyway it’s not fully healed yet. I am sure in time the scarring will fade.” Adrian takes his hand away from my stomach and he signals for me to go back over my lounger. I glide back over and I stretch out fully onto the soft leather bed. Adrian quickly puts on his sunglasses and I do the same. He looks over at me as the boat begins to move. I smile at him and stretch out my hand he quickly takes it and his touch is enchanting.
After a long hot day on the yacht, I am glad when I see the mainland. I quickly rise up and I throw on my dress. I scrunch my hair up into a loose bun, as it got wet whilst I swam in the sea with Adrian. I gently sit back down onto the lounger and Adrian glares over at me.
“Baby you know that I don’t like it when you tie your hair back.” He says calmly. I pause as I glare at him.
“Why don’t you like my hair tied up?” I question.
“It’s not feminine, when a girl’s hair is tied back.” He admits. I scowl my face at his poor excuse and I begin to poke holes in his opinions.
“That’s a poor answer, Adrian tell me do you change your opinion of me when you see that my hair is tied back?” He holds back his smirk and he manages to respond.
“No it doesn’t change my opinion of you. But it does make me fancy you less.” I am stunned by his words and I cannot think of a response.
“So you are less attracted to me when my hair is tied back, how can that be?” He tousles his hair and he rises up from the sun lounger. He swiftly approaches me and he pushes me gently over so that there is room for him to sit.
“Baby you could have your hair anyway and I would still be attracted you but I do prefer it when you hair is loose.” He slides his hand into my hair and he loosens my hair tie. He strokes my curls as they fall around my face.
“Now that is much better.” He whispers as he leans in and kisses me softly on the neck. I melt and I huddle into his chest.
Ten
When we arrive back at the hotel, I am exhausted. I slowly trail behind Adrian as he marches along the lobby of the hotel. We reach our room and I am ever so glad to see the large sofa. I throw my bag onto the table by the door and I walk over to the sofa. I throw myself down and I rest my head against the soft cushions. Adrian looks at me intensely and I know that he will have an opinion.
“What’s wrong baby?” He asks. I quickly smile at him as I can tell that he has worry in his voice.
“Nothing’s wrong, I am just a little tired that’s all.” I protest. Adrian walks over to me and he gently lifts me up. I gaze at him in astonishment and he does not say a word. Adrian carries me to my room and he gently rests me onto the oversized bed.
“Sleep baby, we have a busy night ahead of us.” I look up at him and I wonder what he means?
“What are we doing tonight?” I ask in a calm voice. Adrian kneels at my bedside and he slowly catches my hand.
“There is a business event tonight and I need you to come with me. Please rest just now and I will wake you when it’s time for us to get ready.” I sigh as I hate business parties but I know that they are necessary in Adrian’s line of work. I do not feel like attending an event tonight but I will be with Adrian and at the end of the day that is all that really matters. I do not respond with words I simply nod in agreement and Adrian kisses me softly on my hand. He swiftly makes his way out of the room and there is a slight bang from the door as he closes it.
