Chapter 50- Fireworks and pleasure
Male staff in a white and black uniform walked up to Tessa and Aaron and bowed, saying, Welcome, Sir and Ma’am. Let me escort you to your suite.”
Aaron grabbed Tessa’s hand and laced their fingers. They followed the staff who led them down a hallway with expensive marble floors and golden chandeliers on the ceiling. He brought them to a presidential suite with a living room, balcony and bedroom.
“Dinner is already served on the balcony. You can enjoy your food while enjoying the view of the ocean. I hope you enjoy your weekend,” the staff presented with reverence.
“Thank you,” Aaron said and led Tessa to the balcony. Dinner was set up on a nicely decorated table. As usual, he drew out a chair for Tessa and helped her sit. Then he grabbed his chair and sat next to her, instead of opposite her. He proclaimed huskily, “I want to be close to you. The table is too long, I can’t even do this…”
He placed his hand on Tessa’s thigh and caressed it agonisingly slowly. Tessa blushed and replied, “Ok. I don’t want to shout when talking too.’
Aaron smirked, noticing how her face had become a shade darker. He withdrew his hand and poured her a glass of champagne.
The two of them had a pleasant dinner. When they looked at the ocean, they could see moonbeams shining on the water and as the cruise ship moved, a gentle breeze would hit them occasionally.
Aaron suddenly stood up and walked into the suite. It didn’t take long for him to come out but Tessa realised he had a guitar in his hands.
She raised an eyebrow when he stood a few meters away, just next to the rails of the ship and played a few strings as if he was testing the guitar. She asked, “Can you play the guitar?”
“There’s nothing that I cannot do, love,” Aaron replied with a co cky smirk.
Tessa rolled her eyes. She said, “Ok, are you going to sing for me?”
“Yes. I want to sing a song for you. This is my dedication to you, Tessa. Losing you taught me a very painful lesson. It’s not a mistake I will ever repeat. I love you with all my soul and I can confidently say you’re my one and only woman.”
He then began to play a song with his guitar and Tessa recognized the tune as John Legend and Meghan Trainor’s song called ‘Like I’m gonna lose you’. Starting with the male verse, Aaron sang while looking into her eyes.
“In the blink of an eye, just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything, the truth is you never know
1/5
So I’ll kiss you longer, babe, any chance that I get
I’ll make the most of the minutes and love with no regret
Let’s take our time to say what we want
Use what we got before it’s all gone
‘Cause no, we’re not promised tomorrow.”~
Tessa’s eyes blurred with tears. She never knew Aaron could sing and he had a very lovely voice that could make you want to drop your panties. Her heart felt full and butterflies fluttered in her stomach the more she listened to the words of the song.
She stood up and walked up to Aaron as he sang the chorus as he played the guitar with a higher note.
“So I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you
I’m gonna
gonna hold
you, like I’m saying goodbye
Wherever we’re standing, I won’t take you for granted
‘Cause we’ll never know when, when we’ll run out of time
So I’m gonna love you, like I’m gonna lose you
I’m gonna love you, like I’m gonna lose you.’
Aaron played a few strings, trailing the melody while looking at Tessa with so much love in his eyes. When finally he put the guitar down, Tessa rushed towards him and leaned up for a kiss, which he met eagerly, connecting their lips in an explosive kiss.
Just then, fireworks shot up into the sky, exploding into a dazzling display of colours that lit up the sky.
Aaron let up from the kiss and then Tessa whipped around to watch the fireworks. A big smile crossed her lips, recalling how she had felt Aaron’s emotions when he sang for her.
Glancing at Aaron, she said, “Thank you, Aaron. For everything. I don’t even know what to say. Haven’t you made me a millionaire with these gifts already?”
Aaron smirked and caressed her cheek, replying, “These gifts can’t compare to the love I have for you, my love. There’s not an ocean too deep, or a mountain too high that can be used to measure my love for you. It’s immeasurable. The gifts I give you are just a token of appreciation. What I intend to give you forever is my heart, my time and my attention.”
Tessa’s eyes stung with tears. Her heart was pounding erratically as she stared into Aaron’s soulful eyes. The emotions he was displaying in his eyes made her feel overwhelmed. The tears she was holding back rolled down her cheeks.
‘How can he love me so much?”
This was the love she had always wanted and often dreamed about. When she made the decision to not fall in love, that was her not wanting to waste her time with someone who wouldn’t reciprocate her feelings or give her the same energy she put into the relationship.
Deep down, she wanted to love and to be loved. A love so strong that she could see it in her partner’s eyes. She could feel it in his words and see it through his actions.
Tessa could feel the butterflies in her stomach going wild as she raised her hand to cup Aaron’s jaw.
She dragged in a sharp breath and proclaimed, “I admit. I was afraid of getting hurt. This is why I strongly refused to give you a second chance. That’s because I thought it wasn’t possible for someone to change. However, these past few weeks, I’ve realised that I made the right decision to give you a second chance. I now know what it feels like to be loved genuinely. This time around, I don’t have to question you on where I stand in your life. Or what I am to you. This is because you’ve shown it to me and I have no doubts that I am the woman in your life. Aaron, back then, what you are doing now is all that I wanted from you.”
Aaron sagged his shoulders, thinking Tessa was still upset about the past. He looked at her and asked, “What I did to you is the worst mistake of my life and I’ll never forgive myself for that. I’m sorry, love. I know it won’t be easy to forget-”
“Shhhh,” Tessa shushed Aaron, placing her index finger on his lips.
“I love you,” She boldly said. “That’s what I was trying to say.”
For a moment, Aaron froze. As Tessa’s words sank in, his heart fluttered and he felt like he
had a whole zoo in his stomach.
His hand that was wrapped around Tessa’s waist tightened and he pulled her closer to his body, asking, “What did you say?”
Tessa bit her lower lip and replied, “I said I love you.”
“Say that again,” Aaron whispered in his deep raspy voice.
This time, heat crept up Tessa’s face under Aaron’s heated gaze. She kept her eyes on him and declared, “I love you, Aaron.”
Aaron felt like he had been flown to the moon. His heart raced excitedly as he raised a hand to cup Tessa’s cheek.
“I don’t think I heard you, cupcake. Say it louder,” he requested, his eyes boring deeply into Tessa’s eyes.
Tessa smiled, her heart leaping with joy. She wrapped her arms around Aaron’s neck and proclaimed, “I love you, Aaron Wentworth.”
Aaron suddenly bent over and scooped her into his arms, carrying her bridal style.
Tessa gasped and giggled as she automatically clung to Aaron’s neck. She asked in between giggles, “Aaron, what are you doing?”
Aaron didn’t answer and rushed into the suite, heading straight to the bedroom. When they
entered the room, Tessa looked on in awe at how the white bed was decorated with red rose
petals. The scent of fresh roses filled the air and another lavender scent that was coming from
the scented candles in the room.
On the left side of the room, there was a small table with a platter of chocolates and truffles. There was also an ice bucket with a bottle of wine. Tessa could see that Aaron had put a lot of effort into planning this and her heart felt warm.
Aaron gently placed Tessa on the bed and rasped, “I want to make love to you, now.”
He then climbed on top of Tessa and crashed his lips on hers in a toe-curling kiss. Their lips moved in sync, sucking and nibbling on each other with an intense passion that was out of this world.
Tessa gasped for breath and Aaron took the opportunity to slip his tongue into her mouth, taking full control of the kiss.
Pleasure rushed through him, making blood rush down south. He groaned and Tessa’s core clenched as if in response when she felt his co ck throb against her.
Aaron let go of her lips and looked into her green eyes, asking, “Do I have permission?”
“I had agreed a few days ago,” Tessa responded breathlessly.
Aaron nodded, saying, “Yes, I know. But you may have changed your mind today or you may not be in the mood. So I’m asking if you still want this.”
Tessa’s heart swelled with warmth. She appreciated Aaron’s gesture. However, she was feeling like her body was on fire. Aaron had been so loving and caring, she couldn’t wait to be his. She
craved him too..
“I want you,” She murmured, biting her bottom lip when her core clenched with a need she couldn’t explain.
Aaron smirked and replied, “Good. Because once I begin, I’m not stopping.”
He then hiked up her gown and pulled it over her head. His eyes darkened with desire when she was exposed to him. Due to the nature of her dress, Tessa didn’t put on a bra. So her breasts spilt out the moment the dress was pulled off, bouncing on her chest.
Aaron trailed his eyes down her body and arched an eyebrow. He noticed how she didn’t put on any panties too and he felt himself grow harder than a rock in his pants.
He remarked, “No panties too? Woman, are you trying to kill me? D amn, you’re so s*xy.”
4/5
Tessa had done a Brazilian wax after the moment she had with Aaron in his office, just to be prepared. Her face flushed when Aaron nodded in approval and said, “Nice.”
Suddenly, he lowered his head and took Tessa’s nipple into his mouth while he kneaded the other one.
“Aaron,” Tessa rolled her eyes to the back of her head, feeling pleasure rush through her.
As Aaron hungrily sucked on Tessa’s sensitive nipple, he twisted the other one with his fingers, sending electric currents through Tessa’s body. He then buried his face in the valley of her breasts and began to pepper kisses on her skin, making his way down her stomach.
When he reached her navel, he sucked and ran his tongue around it before leaving the bed. He then grabbed Tessa’s leg and yanked her to the edge of the bed where he threw her legs over his shoulders as he went down on his knees.
Tessa arched her back from the bed and cried out in ecstasy the moment Aaron buried his face in between her thighs and dove into her wet core.
