Chapter 45 - I Missed You So Much (1/2)

”You have made me the happiest man alive right now sweetheart.” Adam said, kissing her hand once again.

Adam brought her back to the table. After making her sit down, he went around the table, settling down in his own chair.

Soon a waiter came to serve them their desserts. A crystal cup was placed before Stella, her eyes widened looking at the pineapple flavoured ice cream rolls placed in it. They were garnished with chopped pineapple chunks.

”How do you know about my favorite ice cream flavor?” She looked at Adam with her baffled expression.

”Just like I know about your ring size.” He replied with a smug look on his face as he took a bite from his dark chocolate flavored ice cream rolls.

”And how do you know about that?” Stella asked him. 'No wonder the ring fit perfectly.' She thought.

”I have my ways.” Adam gave her charming smile only to get an eye roll from her.

They ate the rest of their desserts in silence. Once they were done, they headed back outside but as soon as they were out of the canopy like hut, Adam stopped in his tracks.

”Wait for a moment.” He turned around and headed back as Stella waited for him, standing in the same spot.

Out of nowhere, a long stemmed red rose appeared before her eyes. ”I forgot this.” A deep cello voice reverberated next to her ear as an arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her against a sturdy chest.

She turned her face towards her shoulder as she felt it weighing down only to find Adam resting his face on it.

”This one's for the beautiful lady here.” He spoke up again, pressing a kiss on her bare shoulder.

”Thank you.” She accepted the rose after thanking him.

”Let's go.” He spoke up, guiding her out, his hand placed at her lower back, his thumb caressing her exposed skin every now and then.

At the entrance, instead of the Maybach that she arrived in, a black Maserati was parked.

Adam opened the passenger door for her,he helped her settle in, making sure she wouldn't bump her head. He helped her put on the seatbelt and then made his way to the driver seat.

-----------------------

Stella opened the door of her room while Adam stood beside her.

”Thank you so much for today.” She thanked him once again.

Adam gave her a pout in return. ”Is this how you thank someone?”

Stella furrowed her eyebrows at his remark.

”I know just the way you can thank me.”  He said, grabbing her arm and pushing her against the wall.

Before Stella could register what was happening to her, his lips found hers.

As Adam sucked on her lips, his one hand angled her face while the other traced over her exposed spine softly, sending sparks throughout her body.

His hand that was cupping her face moved down at a torturously slow pace, tracing her neckline.

Stella tried to control herself but a low moan escaped from her mouth bringing a smirk on his face. He liked the fact that her body responded to his touch.
