Chapter 69: The getaway
Aira’s POV
“And don’t forget to call the investors. Make sure to run through the inventories and revise the monthly budget for”
“Relax, Aira. I have it all covered,” Aurora says, chuckling lightly. “I have been handling all of this even when Camille was our boss, and all this while you have been unavailable. Believe me, this company will not crumble if you spend one week away from it.”
My heart twinges with guilt, and my countenance falls. Her words make me feel bad, even though I know it wasn’t her intention. It hurt me that Camille left this place in my care, and I have been neglecting it. I paid most of my attention to the people she made me promise to stay away from.
And I nearly lost it all to them. If only I had just listened to her in the first place.
Aurora notices my sudden mood change and takes my hand in hers. “Hey,” she says softly, making me meet her eyes. She offers me a sweet smile and says, “Don’t feel bad, okay? We all know that you have had a lot to deal with. First the death of your sister; then you are welcomed by your extended family; and then they were attacked by wild animals and declared dead. I cannot even imagine how much of a toll that is taking on your mental health.”
“Ah, yes. It is quite a lot to bear,” I say, not being able to meet her eyes. The truth is, after realizing that Alex is alive, I wasted no time evacuating the vicinity with him and Richard. I did not care that I was leaving my family’s remains for some random stranger to find.
News of their deaths filled the whole internet. The conclusion the forensics came up with was that some wild animal must have broken into the estate and torn them all to shreds. Then, due to the fact that there was no one to tend to the furnace, there was a massive fire outbreak that burned their remains.
It was a crazy story if anyone asked me, but as long as it was not linked back to me, I was fine with it. To this day, no one knows about my magical abilities or my family history. And I intend to keep it that way.
A part of me felt bad for lying to Aurora. She has been nothing but kind and supportive towards me. If not for her, then I do not know what would have become of this company.
She squeezes my hand lightly as a way of showing support. “Then you deserve this vacation more than anyone. Honestly, I do not know if one week would be enough. Just make sure to take all the time you need. Unwind, reconnect with nature, and make wonderful memories with Alex,” she says in the last part while wiggling her brows, and I knew those words had a double meaning.
My cheeks grow hot, and she laughs at my reaction.
“Just go have fun; I will make sure to hold up the fort.” She finishes, and I smile appreciatively at her.
“Thank you, Aurora. No need for that; it is my pleasure. Just keep in mind that this empire needs its leader to be strong and healthy. That means both physically and mentally,” she says, and I nod in agreement.
I step out of the building, and the driver opens the door for me. When I step in, he shuts the door after me, then gets into the driver side and starts up the engine. We make our way back to the palace, where Alex should be waiting with our already-packed bags.
We decided to spend our vacation in Rome. Our flight was at three this afternoon.
I was feeling skeptical about this vacation. I don’t know, but everywhere we turned, there was always bad news. I fear that we may get there and face more problems.
The driver catches my eyes through the rearview mirror, and he says something that shocks me but makes me feel a lot lighter. “It’s going to be fine, ma’am.”
I offer him a small smile and say, “Thank you.”
The rest of the drive is spent in silence. When we arrive at the palace, as I expected, Alex is waiting beside a car as the guards put in our luggage. I did not bother packing personally; I just told Carla to help me out.
As I step out of the car, Alex shoots me a warm smile and walks up to me. He takes my hands in his and squeezes them lightly. “You ready?” he asks, and I shrug.
“I doubt I ever will be. But I suppose the sooner we get this over with, the better.”
He grins down at me and pinches my cheek. “Don’t be like that. We are going to have so much fun.” He says so, and I shoot him an appreciative smile. I admire the amount of effort he is putting into this. This vacation is supposed to be for the both of us. This man died and came back to life. It is worth having a few days of retreat.
But here he is, standing here, making me feel like I am the only damaged person here.
“And the pack?” I ask him.
“I left it in Arnold’s care,” he says and I nod slowly. I almost forgot about Alex’s beta. He has been quite scarce for some time.
Alex leads me to the car and helps me inside. Alex hops in beside me, and before we know it, we are off to the airport. I spent the entire ride staring out the window, lost in my own world of thought. Occasionally, Alex would take my hand and squeeze it lightly to let me know that he was always there.
What did I do to deserve this man?
When we arrive at the airport, the staff leads us to our private jet. Yes, a private jet.
I turn to Alex with eyes as wide as saucers and say, “I thought we would be flying in business class. I didn’t know you had a private jet.”
He snickers slyly, “There are many things you don’t know about me yet. But let’s just say your father is not the only billionaire in town.”
I am about to ask him what he means by that, but he decides against it. We board the plane, and I find it hard to keep my mouth shut. The inside is even more impressive than the outside. There is a bed big enough to fit two people, a TV, and a cockpit. Everything about the interior just screamed comfort and luxury.
“Like what you see?” Alex asks from behind me, and I spin on my heel. His arm finds its way around my waist, while mine finds its way around his shoulders.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“I love it,” I whisper as he crouches down to capture my lips with his. Our kiss starts off slow, but it doesn’t get too heated. And that is because of the throat that clears by our side.
Alex groans into the kiss before pulling away. We turn to our side to find a middle-aged man. From his uniform, I could tell that he was either a crew member or the pilot himself.
“Your luggage has been loaded. We are ready to take off,” he informs us, and Alex nods.
“Very well then, Michael.” Alex says, and the pilot turns his back to leave, but then Alex quickly adds, “And if you want to keep your job, do not disturb us again.”
The man visibly pales but nods in understanding before leaving.
Alex turns to me, and I shoot him a disapproving glare. “You need to start being nicer to people.”
He snorts. “Never.”
He brings me closer to him and seals our lips once again.
I probably shouldn’t have told Moriah that he was changing.
Our kiss deepens as our lips move together in sync. The kiss held a passion like never before as his hands roamed my body like they never had before. His hands find their way to my ass, and he squeezes the soft mound of flesh harshly. I take the hint and jump; he helps me wrap my legs around his torso as he leads me to the bed.
He drops me softly on the mattress, and the sound of the plane’s engine fills our ears. That does not stop Alex from doing what he wanted with me. The ripping of clothes fills my ears, and my eyes widen.
“Alex!” I scream as he rips my clothes to shreds.
He places a finger on my lips and tells me, “Ssh.” Before proceeding to take off my underwear, Once I am fully naked, he takes a step back to take a good look at me. His eyes darken with lust, and the sight alone turns me on.
“I am so glad you brought me back,” he mutters beneath his breath before hurriedly taking off his clothes. My mouth falls open at the sight of his hardened member. It was so big and veiny. I wanted to know how it would feel buried inside me.
Alex smirks confidently as he walks up to me painfully slowly. “Impressed?”
I snort, “Barely.”
My response seems to have snapped something inside him. Before I could blink, Alex was on top of me, pinning me to the plane’s wall, right above the window. Meaning my bare back is facing the entire world.
Alex growls in my face. “Let’s see how well you can say that once I ram every inch inside of you.”
I barely get the chance to process his words before he flips me over. He places his hands on my shoulder and wraps the other around my waist to pull it up. My back is now arched, and my ass is now in full view for him.
The sound that leaves my lips is in between a moan and a scream. His tongue slides gently over my wet folds, sending shivers and pleasurable sensations through my body. He swirls his tongue softly over the sensitive skin, sucking and licking it gently.
His tongue finds its way to my nub, and he draws small circles around them.
“Oh fuck, Alex!” I moan out when he begins to suck on my clitoris. Without warning, he slides his fingers into me, and my back arcs even more into him.
“Ah, you are always so ready for me,” Alex rasps as he begins to thrust his fingers in and out of me. My walls clench around him, and he curls his fingers in me.
Just when it feels like I am about to reach my climax, he slides his fingers out of me. A whimper leaves my lips as I silently beg him to go back in. I suck my bottom lip into my mouth when I feel his tip around my entrance.
“I am going to fuck you harder than ever before,” he says before ramming his full length into me.
“Fuck!” Is what I scream. My hand grabs the window, and I manage to lift my droopy eyes. All I see are clouds.
Is this heaven?
Each one of Alex’s thrusts becomes more violent than the last. My walls clench around his hard dick, and I can feel him twitch inside me.
“Damn, you feel so good,” Alex says in between moans. His hand wraps around my throat, and he lifts me up and pins me against the window.
It is a good thing we are thousands of feet above the ground and far from anyone’s gaze.
Alex’s hand and find their way to my breasts, and he squeezes them softly. He pinches my hard nipples and twists them softly; the action sends rays of pleasure through my body. Coupled with his violent thrusts, I felt a knot in my stomach, and I knew that I was about to reach my climax.
“I am about to cum, Alex!”
He brings his lips to my ear and slides his tongue over my earlobe. Tingles shoot through my body, and I start to tremble.
“Cum for me, my love,” he rasps into my ear, and after hearing that endearment, I do as I am told. I release my cum all over his dick while he releases his into me.
My body grows slack, and I collapse on the bed. Alex’s tiredly laughs and lays right beside me. I turn to face him, and the both of us just lay naked on a plane and in the clouds, smiling at each other like high school kids.
“So, impressed?”
I throw my head back and laugh.
Maybe I was wrong; maybe this trip was going to be good after all.
