Natalia swallowed a gasp because it was unexpected!
She tried to pull away because anyone could walk by and spot them but Arian was persistent. His left hand slid up to cradle her chin in place. His lips were soft and inviting, and it didn’t take more than two abstract seconds for her to sync along.
Natalia slowly tilted her chin and clung to his neck as his grip on her waist tightened, pressing her gently into the wall. He bit on her lips softly, prodding and pulling away, teasing her wickedly. Natalia felt fireworks travel through her body and explode at the pit of her tummy.
Her mind blocked out the worry of being caught and focused on the hot kiss. Feeling insanely frustrated from being teased, an impatient hand grabbed a fistful of his collar and pulled him closer, surprising herself. Her other hand found its way to his silky, long raven black hair which was in a cute mess and tugged at it, pulling him closer to her.
A low groan rippled down his throat as he deepened the kiss, falling into her seduction. Her fragile frame was pressed deeply into his sturdy, excited one and she could feel his warmth. For the first time, Natalia didn’t feel self conscious.
Rather, she felt sensitive, hot and excited all over. A soft moan sifted through her as his hands travelled the depths and curves of her body, bringing alive the emotion she was newly getting used to. The touch of his body against hers fuelled the rising passion between them and she let herself get lost in its flames.
But realization hit her when a group of giggling feet passed by and disappeared down the hallway!
Natalia released her hold on him but Arian didn’t want to let go yet. His longing hands slid up her back and pulled her closer leaving no inch of space between them, as his emotions was stirred up out of control by her pleasurable moan. The kiss got heated and overflowing with intense passion until they needed to catch their breaths.
They slowly pulled away as he ended with soft butterfly kisses. Natalia remained in his hold and hid her flushed face in his chest when the number of feet which had passed earlier tripled in number as they went back to the dining patio.
The naughty whispers and giggles were unmistakable as they oh-so-slowly vanished around the corner. Her entire face turned a shade of tomato red when Arian’s hand lifted her chin to meet his.
With their faces inches apart, their eyes locked in a web of pure love, crazy attraction and intense desire. His fingers dotingly caressed her cheek and slid lower to her pinkish, pouty lips and gently touched them.
Natalia was so engrossed in the beauty of his mint green eyes that she was unaware of the mischievous smirk which found its way to his sexy lips.
Arian stepped away, gently rubbing his swollen lips. Natalia suddenly felt cold as his body left hers. It was then she noticed the grin he had on.
“What?” She narrowed her suspicious eyes. Arian didn’t answer straightforwardly. He casually pocketed and walked ahead. But at the exterior, his gorgeous figure turned around with an evil smirk and gestured silently at…
.
.
.
Her lips??
Then he naughtily winked and walked into the dining patio. The princess panicked and touched her lips. Her lip gloss was spread terribly around her lips that she looked like a scarecrow! She hastily tried to wipe it off with her fingers but they stuck to her skin the more!!
That bast….

(An hour later.)
“Arian! Where do you think you’re taking me?” She snapped, still upset at his merciless prank.
Dinner with his family was over and he was ‘supposedly’ driving her home.
“Don’t worry, sugar. I’m not gonna sell you this time.” He winked, still soaking in his victory. She turned as much as her seatbelt permitted to viciously glare at him.
“And THAT’S the problem! For all I know, you might be kidnapping me to sell to some Mafia, or sell my organs or….” She gasped loudly and covered her body.
“Don’t you dare!” She seethed.
Arian temporarily took his gaze from the road and stared at her. And then the next second, he laughed like a maniac!
She angrily pursed her lips at him. Her phone began to ring.
“ELVA, I’m being kidnapped!” She yelled immediately she connected making Arian’s chuckle increase.
“Arian?… He’s the kidnapper!” She snapped hotly.
“What silly proof do…. Huh?” She paused and looked at her phone.
“Hello?…. El??…. Hello??? Did she just hang up on me?” She gasped. Arian smiled.
Natalia tossed her phone back on the dashboard and watched as it repeatedly rang. But she didn’t pick up. She angrily folded her arms and scowled out the window.
Arian was stunned.
Remind him NEVER to hang up on her!
She picked at the next ring and yelled into it. “Don’t you dare call me again! Do you want to die…. Oooh, hey Leo.” She changed her tone and sweetly purred into the phone.
Arian whipped his head instantly, nearly crashing into a police patrol car in front of him!
“Of course not! Why’ld I ever avoid you?” She awkwardly twirled her hair.
“No, I’m not home.” She pouted. “I’m with someone…. and I don’t know where either.”
Arian’s eyes bulged in disbelief. Did she just ‘someone-zoned’ him?
“Tomorrow? Sure. The movies sounds nice. Make sure it isn’t horror!” She said and chuckled.
Was he asking her out on a date? She even had the nerves to laugh! Arian was speechless.
He scoffed and turned on his car’s radio to the highest volume. Rock music was playing and damn!…. His head started to hurt.
“Are you crazy?! Turn that down!” Natalia yelled and blocked her ears but he ignored her till she was compelled to hang up.
“Gosh! How did I meet you again?” She scowled as he turned it off.
“You look hot.” He smiled. Natalia helplessly blushed and kept quiet.
Finally.
“We’re here!” He announced after a while. Natalia confusedly looked around the “here” but found nothing spectacular.
Arian smiled and brought out a cute blindfold.
“Enter the light!” Her face said. He sighed and gave her his most cutest puppy dog eyes before she grudgingly agreed and led her out.
“If you’re aiming to kill me, I’ll hunt you down in your dreams till your next life.” She threatened. Arian chuckled.
“Actually, I’m aiming…. Stop. You can pull it off now.” She could feel his smile as she did.
The next second, a heavy gasp escaped her as she palmed her lips with both hands…

Natalia lazily stretched on her bed and plopped back down, half awake. A text beeping on her phone got her attention.
She grudgingly stretched her hand and grabbed it before turning around to read it.
~ Morning sleepyhead! How’s your night, my love.
It was Arian.
Natalia flushed and jerked up immediately, sleep completely eluding her.
~ Good morning. It was beautiful and yours?
She beeped back and he replied almost immediately.
~ Great. Did you dream of me? If I wasn’t your Prince charming, then don’t share.
She chuckled and moved her fingers.
~ Yeah, I dreamt of you. You were a steamy, dreamy, spicy chicken wing! The type i’m craving right now.
The princess blushed at her audacity. He was really teaching her naughty!
Forty five nerve wrecking seconds passed before her phone beeped again.
Arian had sent a pic of him still in bed with the white duvet in a messy tangle around his torso, flaunting his darn-so-gorgeous shirtless body. His silky black hair was in wild curls and his foxy eyes looked seductive!
He captioned it; #Looks better in reality.
Arrogance! Natalia condemned but still gawked and flushed shamelessly. How did she find someone who’s so perfect without trying??
Despite how good it looked, it was obvious he took it randomly.
~ (Yawns) Manageable.
She taunted.
~ (Cocks a smug brow) Really?
He replied and she chuckled.
~ Well I still can’t eat you up through my screen.
~ (Smirks) Make do of it. I’ll show you the real deal at lunch.
Natalia gasped and almost threw her corrupted phone away!
~Pervert, get off my phone!
~ Trust me, we’ll do a lot more. Besides, pervert ain’t sweet! Gimme something else (pouts).
~ Keep waiting. Now scram! We’ve got school.
~ Bae. It’s just five in the morning?
Natalia checked the time and pouted. No wonder she’d felt so sleepy.
~ Then go back to bed!
~ You can’t leave before our morning kiss.
He mused. She rolled her eyes and sent a couple of emojis.
~ Make do of ’em. Painful right?
~ Then I’ll just steal one later.
~ Dream on.
~ (Smirks) We’ll see.
They paused for a while in comfortable silence.
~ I love you.
It was Arian.
The princess flushed hotly before replying.
~ I love you too.
~ Rest well.
Natalia could feel his smile as she crashed back on her bed. After a while of wriggling around her duvet and screaming out her lungs, she faced back up with a huge grin on her flushed face and hugged her phone, remembering the magical evening they spent together which changed everything…
