Aria and Noah started eating the carbonara, with Aria still on his lap. She did not dare move, lest she should provoke the man who was already on the verge of losing control. She still could not comprehend why Noah had insisted on her sitting on his lap when they could have their dinner in peace by sitting separately.
'Oh, Lord. How am I going to survive the night?' She wondered as she recalled the last surprise she had prepared for her man. She glanced at her bedroom, the door to which hid everything she had prepared for the night before she resumed eating.
Noah looked down and observed the girl who was lost in her thoughts. He took this opportunity to slowly and stealthy lift her shirt using his free hand and brushed his fingers on her waist. Aria shivered at once, and her fork clattered with the plate. She sucked in a deep breath and tried to turn back to look at the man. However, Noah leaned closer to her until she could feel his breath on her neck. She had no idea when Noah had stopped eating, for his fork was lying neatly beside the plate.
"Noah," Aria breathed, and that was one of the sexiest sounds the man had ever heard. He continued to wander his fingers on her waist as Aria bit her lip. She shuddered at his touch, and goosebumps erupted on her skin. Slowly, his hand moved up, and he was just an inch away from her bra-clad breasts when Aria held his hand suddenly. She turned to face him, forcing the man to pull back. She shook her head, pleading with the man to stop.
Her response was not what Noah was looking for. It was a big blow to plans. He had expected to use this opportunity to show what he wanted. But Aria's rejection threw cold water on his intentions. 'She is still not ready.' He sighed lightly and was just about to retrieve his hand back when he heard Aria's words that stunned him completely.
"Let's eat peacefully first. We can do this later." As soon as words slipped out of her lips, Aria bit her tongue. 'What did you do, Aria? She chided herself. 'How could you reveal everything to him?' She averted her gaze, not having the courage to meet Noah in the eye.
"What did you say, Aria?" Noah gave her an incredulous look, wondering if he was imagining things now. Aria's words were exactly what he had wanted to hear, and now that she had spoken them, he was bewildered beyond imagination. "Please repeat it, darling."
Aria knew that denying to comply would only make the man tease her more. So she decided to outrightly reject to have spoken whatever she actually did a few seconds ago. "What did I say? I did not say anything." She looked at him, making sure to not show him her nervousness. His intense gaze was sending butterflies in her stomach. But she sat still, trying to hide the effect he had on her.
"Are you sure you did not speak anything, sweetheart?" Noah's voice was dangerously low, and Aria was having trouble keeping her composed self in check. She was just short of losing her mind.
"I did not say anything, Noah. You must have been hearing things."
"Oh, really?" Noah was now amused by her response. He could now more or less guess what was happening. Aria was beyond flustered, and she was trying to deny having ever spoken her words. Aria nodded her head and shrugged softly before moving her eyes away from him.
Her response confirmed the man's thoughts, and he smiled faintly at her. Although he was in the mood to tease her more, he was more interested in whatever she had spoken just than. If what Aria had blurted out was true, then he could finally have some action tonight. Noah's excitement spiked to an all-time high, and he just wanted to get with the dinner.
"Shall we finish our dinner, darling? We don't want you staying hungry for long." Though Noah's words did not carry any other meaning, to Aria, they seemed anything but innocent.
'Why do I feel that he is not speaking about dinner but something else?' However, Aria did not have the time to dwell upon it. Noah held a forkful of carbonara for her to eat, and Aria was glad that he did not go deep into the topic. She ate the carbonara and picked up her fork while Noah ate a piece of ravioli.
Silence ensued in the dining hall, and the couple finished the dinner until only a spoonful of carbonara was left. Noah scooped the last remaining bit and held it before Aria, and the girl ate it without complaining. But the last bite was the biggest, and she could not devour everything at once. She slurped slowly until a lone noodle was hanging from her lips.
Aria tried to slurp it in but Noah quickly bit the other end, startling the girl. Aria forgot to swallow her food after seeing his sudden action. But she came out of her thoughts immediately once she remembered what had happened before they started their dinner. She did not want a repeat of the scene lest Noah should steal her carbonara too.
Aria pulled back at once, and the noodle broke. Noah smiled at seeing her jittery self. She was behaving strange of all a sudden, and he narrowed his eyes, his instincts trying to deduce the reason behind so. 'Has Aria prepared another surprise for me?' He thought, and his eyes followed hers when she looked at the closed door of her bedroom.
'Wait a minute! Why is she looking at the bedroom? Is she...?' His eyes widened when the realization hit him. Noah's eyes glinted in surprise and elation. He now had a hunch what was going to happen in a few minutes, and his patience was wearing thin suddenly. He remembered Aria's purple bra at once, and his member became excited, ready to get some action.
"I have..." Aria cleared her throat that had gone dry. "I have another surprise for you. I will be right back. Give me ten minutes." She stood up suddenly, and this time, Noah did not stop her. Aria scuttled away from him like a scared bunny. Just as he had expected, she went to her room and closed it after her, blocking him from seeing anything.
Noah was not affected by it. He gave her the time she needed as he waited patiently for her to come out again. He was ecstatic, and in a fit of his joy, he punched his fist in the air.
Fifteen minutes passed but Aria was yet to come out of her room. Noah was slowly getting anxious as time passed, and when he could not control it any longer, he padded towards her room. He was just about to knock when the door opened and out came Aria. Noah's eyes widened in astonishment seeing the girl in front of him.
His heart thumped widely seeing the way Aria was dressed. She was wearing a thin-strapped, red silk dress that barely reached her thighs. But what shocked him the most was the top part of the robe. Her cleavage was on display, and Noah's desire was ignited again just on seeing her.
