Chapter 19: Chapter 19

"THANK you so much, Adam."

I smiled gratefully at Adam as we entered the private villa that we were going to sleep in tonight.

"Claire, you've been thanking me since this afternoon." Adam said to me, his tone was amused.

After the wedding reception, my mother surprised us by giving us a honeymoon gift. It was a two day vacation on a private island only a few hours away from home.

I smiled at him as I opened up my suitcase that I quickly packed for this trip. "Well, I'm just happy everything turned out fine. It was mostly because of you. I didn't know you could be a great actor. You easily fooled everyone that you're smitten with me."

"Nah. It was also a great effort from you."

"Oh." I chuckled. "I know I'm a terrible actor."

He raised his brows as he removed the wristwatch. He placed it on the nightstand.

Two hours after the wedding, we already flew to the island my mother had gifted us.

"Well, maybe I should consider an acting gig next time. What do you think?" There was an amused smile on his lips.

I chuckled. "Sure. Why not?" I sat on the bed and removed my necklace. I pursed my lips as I looked at the petals of red roses on the bed. There was also a bucket of champagne and chocolates in the middle of the king sized bed. My mom booked us a honeymoon suite.

"Are you tired?" Adam asked. "Or do you want to check out the beach first?"

I shook my head. "I'm not tired. Let's check out the beach first?"

"Yeah. Let's do that. I heard the sunset here is amazing."

"Okay." I smiled. Suddenly, I got excited about experiencing a beautiful sunset on the beach. I suddenly remembered the vacation we'd spent together on the island. "Are you going to change first?"

I looked at him. He was still wearing a white dress shirt that was folded up to his elbows.

Before we traveled earlier, I had already changed into a peach sundress.

"Yeah." Adam said before he started unbuttoning his shirt. My lips parted a little when he suddenly took off his shirt in front of me.

Well, what do you expect, Claire? You've already seen each other's bodies a couple of times.

"Let's go," Adam asked after he changed into a white v-neck shirt and board shorts. I slightly bit my lower lip when I got to see that tribal tattoo on his arm. Damn. It looked really good on him.

"Yeah," I answered. I put on my slippers and ran my fingers through my hair.

Together, Adam and I left our room. The hotel was located a few meters from the shore. So we had to walk to get to the beach.

"Oh, wow." I muttered as we got onto the beach. I looked around. There were only a few people out there. The place was indeed a paradise. The combination of the cobalt blue water and white sand was captivating.

"Yeah. This place is great," Adam agreed beside me. "Look at the sunset. It's beautiful."

Yeah. The sun was already setting right in front of our eyes. The sky was already orange. The view was captivating.

"Yeah." I said and took a deep breath. It felt so good to inhale fresh air. "Do you want to swim?" I turned to Adam who was still enjoying the view behind me.

"I want to enjoy the view for a little while," he said, smiling at me.

"Well, yeah. I want to take a dip." I said. "Can you hold my things for me?" I said, taking off my dress and handing it to him. I was already wearing a white pair of bikini under my dress.

With a wide smile on my face, I went to the water and dipped myself in. I closed my eyes in delight when the cold water touched my skin.

I was already a few minutes in the water when Adam joined me.

"I couldn't help but follow you when I saw how much you're enjoying the water," Adam said, grinning at me.

Before I could answer, I already felt his arms snaking around my waist. My eyes widened when Adam Ciarrad me on the water.

"Where are we going, Adam?" I asked when he walked while carrying me in his left hand. Damn. He was really strong.

"Let's go deeper." he said, bringing me a few more meters away from the shore. I could feel the water getting colder as we went deeper.

"The water feels so much colder here."

I whisper to Adam.

"Yeah," he murmured against my neck. I could feel his hot breath on me. Damn.

"I have something to tell you, Claire."

I turned and faced him. He looked more handsome under the orange sky.

“I'll be away for one week, Claire. Starting next week."

"Where are you going?"

"Germany. I joined a motocross competition there."

"Wow. That's great, Adam." I said, a smile on my face. "Well, then. Good luck with that." I didn't know he was really that serious about that sport.

He pursed his lips. "We won't see each other for one week. Is that okay with you?"

"Of course, it's fine with me. I told you we are still free to do each other's business." I smiled at him. "Don't worry about me. I'll take care of myself and the baby."

"Our baby," he corrected me.

"Yeah. Our baby."

Adam gently tucked some of my wet hair behind my ear. “Don’t talk to other men while I’m away…”

I frowned. "Of course, I won't do that. We already talked about that, right?"

"Yeah." His eyes dropped down to my lips. "I would also do the same. No other woman for me while I'm away."

"Well, then good—" I wasn't able to finish my sentence because Adam had already claimed my lips.

I automatically closed my eyes as I tightened my hold against his nape. His mouth tasted of alcohol, mint and chocolate. His hand roamed around her body until it settled on her waist.

Then I felt him carry me away from the water. I snaked my legs around his waist as we continued to kiss hungrily.

One of my hands moved down to his body and roamed around there. My palm wandered on his shoulder, his chest down to his hard stomach.

I didn't know how we were able to return to our hotel room without breaking our kiss. But instead of putting me down to bed, Adam brought me to the shower room.

“I've been dreaming of fucking you under the shower, Claire," he said as he pinned me on the tiled wall before attacking my lips again.
