Chapter 196 - Parting

"Promise me that you go back home and rest." Adam demanded to her. There was no way that he would trust her for taking care of herself. After their last night's activities, which continued even after they had returned to their home and lasted almost throughout the night, she definitely needed some rest. "And since I won't be here for the next few days, you don't need to go to the office. Just stay back at home and enjoy your vacation." 

"How am I supposed to enjoy without you?" Stella pursed her lips in a sad smile as she leaned her head against his. 

"Well, you can give me a call whenever you want to. It will be a first time experience for both of us." He tried to coax her. Her wouldn't be able to bring himself to leave if she continued to be this sad. Even the mere thought of her being sad in his absence was making him sad. 

He had made some early mornings calls after arriving at the airport, just to make sure that she wouldn't feel too lonely without him. 

"At least I have your pillow." Stella gave him a haughty reply, earning his heartfelt chuckle in response.

"Oh! I do have your lacy, peach colored underwear from last night." He muttered softly, keeping his voice low to make sure his 'bodyguards' won't be able to hear him, even though they were at a distance from the but with their hearing abilities, he couldn't trust them. 

"Adam!" Stella whisper yelled at him. Her face was turning red at the mere mention of last night. She could still hear her own moans while he was humping her, going deeper with each thrust and ramming his rod against her pleasure spot. 

Looking at her faint blush, Adam gave her a roguish smile. "Don't tell me you are thinking about last night." He spoke before pressing a kiss against her milky smooth neck. 

"Damn! These foundation things are way too good." He exclaimed in annoyance when he looked at the junction of her neck and shoulder. A bright red hickey was supposed to be there, a reminder of their last night's exertion, but instead his eyes landed on the smooth even tone skin. He pressed another kiss on her neck, right over the site of hickey. 

"Adam." Stella admonished him. They were at the airport, and the waiting area was filled with his bodyguards. 

Not all of them were supposed to go with him. Most of them were supposed to be looking after her security and would leave with her. Though she hadn't agreed with him, but who would listen to her anyways. She was thankful for having at least one familiar face among the army of ten people, which was none other than Edward. Since he has driven her a couple of times around, so she could tolerate his presence. 

"I am going to miss you." Adam couldn't help but say it again. Stella had lost count of how many times he had repeated the same line since morning. 

She wanted to say it back to him, but she held herself back. She knew that her words held the power of changing his mind, and she wouldn't like to be a hindrance in his work.

"Why are you sounding like that you are going away for long? It's just a couple of days. Moreover, it's not even that far." Stella added while patting his head like a child. 

The exchange between the two wasn't any less than a shock for the people in the same room. Even though their faces were blank, behind their black shades, they had their eyes popping out of their sockets, well except for Edward for he was used to the couple getting all lovey dovey. 

"Boss?" The leader of the team who was supposed to go with Adam, interrupted the couple, earning a glare from Adam. 

The man still gathered the remaining amount of courage he has left in his body and cleared his throat. "It's time to leave, the jet is ready for take off."

"You guys should go first and settle in. I will join you in a minute or two." Adam spoke up in his firm voice without letting go of Stella. He was still hugging her from behind. 

As if understanding the underlying meaning of his words, the man nodded his head and left the waiting room, taking his team members with him. 

"Stella?" Adam called her name, his voice filled with tenderness which was another blow to the remaining bodyguards. 

She turned around and hugged him tightly, not letting him see her teary eyed face, but she forgot one thing. Just like how she could read him like an open book, he could do the same to her. 

He smiled as he rubbed her back, trying to calm her nerves down. 

"Are you forgetting all those things that you have been saying to me since last night?" He chuckled, hugging her close.  

"You should probably leave now." She mumbled into his chest. 

"Okay, okay. But promise me that you will take care of yourself." He asked her again. A faint smile appeared on her lips as she nodded her head slightly before letting go of him. 

Adam leaned his head down and placed a lingering kiss on her forehead. "I gotta go now." He murmured against her forehead before kissing her one more time. 

Stella was gazing at hai departing figure when he turned around and almost ran back to her. She looked at him in confusion, but her confusion didn't last for much longer as he crashed his lips down on hers. 

He finally parted with her, allowing her to breathe after kissing her senselessly. 

He pressed his forehead against hers. "I forgot this." He muttered in between his breaths, causing Stella to smile wider. Looking at that smile, he finally heaved a sigh of relief before walking away from her. 

Stella stayed there even after he had left and continued to watch the jet through the glass wall. She didn't move from her place until the jet had taken off, disappearing into the distance. 

"Looks like you are stuck with me." She turned around and spoke to Edward, who only shook his head as he pitied himself. 

"Unlucky me." He commented, making her smile. 

"Then what are you waiting for Mr. Unlucky? Drive me back home." She gave him a questioning look. 

A few minutes later, a bulletproof black Maybach left the airport followed by three black Mercedes. 

----------

Stella was sitting on the king sized bed all alone, munching on some pizza. She had asked Edward to make a pit stop at a pizza place on their way back home. 

Dressed in baggy gray sweater and some shorts, she was waiting patiently for the call of a certain someone. Hee phone was placed before her, her eyes fixated on the black screen, waiting for it to light up. She looked at the time again to make sure she wasn't way too eager for his call or it was him who being late. His jet would have landed half an hour ago and he still hadn't called her yet.
