Adriana Jensen~•~It was time to test my self-control, aka, how long I was going to last without snapping at Benjamin and Fabiola.The first item on Ben’s mom, Lucia’s, list was a Millionaire Row Bay Cruise. As I was getting ready, Saint casually mentioned that he booked the full cruise. While Lucia was in charge of planning, Saint was the one to fund everything. He liked his privacy and for the first time, I hated the fact that he was so extra and luxurious.How was he so damn rich anyway? The moment I complained about my father’s failing business, he helped immediately. He booked four suites in such an expensive hotel and he was basically paying for everything that was to happen during the trip.“Can’t you cancel and book what is necessary?” I questioned when we finished getting ready. Since it was summer, it was hot out so we were wearing minimal clothes. Saint was wearing a white tank top and a blue shirt over it with the buttons undone, paired with white shorts that went over h
Adriana Jensen~•~The boat ride was supposed to be amazing, but it was awkward as well. Wait, I couldn’t consider it a boat. It was a literal ship. I came from a rich family but this was next-level shit.We were allowed to go out in the water and swim for a while or surf so we all changed into our swimwear. However, I wasn’t interested in swimming.Ben’s mother and father were inside while the four of us were left outside, lying on those black chairs.Ben and Fab were busy talking animatedly about who knew what. I was tempted to push one of them in the water. They were so shameless.“Are you two together now?” Saint spoke, catching their attention.“What? No.” Ben was quick to deny it, missing the dissatisfied look on Fabiola’s face. That brought me satisfaction. Ben looked toward me as though he was asking me if his uncle knew. I didn’t bother to give him any indication that he knew.If Saint asked about his relationship with Fab, he should already know something was wrong. He could
Saint Giordano~•~Something was very wrong with me.I didn’t know what exactly possessed me to open my phone, tap on my camera icon, and take pictures of Adriana on my phone, thinking that I would delete them after sending them to her.I couldn’t be any more wrong.Just as I had told her, the pictures were beautiful. They weren’t just beautiful, they were hot, enticing, seductive, everything that would make a grown man sin.I’d repeatedly told myself that I wasn’t going to have anything to do with her because she was still an immature child but I couldn’t stop myself from scrolling through her pictures on my phone. It irritated me that she was posting those pictures online and when I’d logged into my anonymous account and saw the comments hungry boys left under it, I was agitated.Adriana just didn’t know the power she held over me.The first time I saw her was a party where her family and mine had been invited to. I wouldn’t call it an obsession but I was intrigued at first sight. H
Adriana Jensen~•~I didn’t get the deal with Saint. I didn’t know if my advances were working or not. He was nice to me and I didn’t think he was generally a nice man. He looked like the man who wouldn’t engage in anything except it benefitted him but he was continually nice to me. Then again, he didn’t look at me twice.Was wearing minimal items of clothing a cheap move? Did it repulse him?These were all questions I wished I could ask but I didn’t have the temerity. I’d been staying with him for five days and whenever we were inside the suite, I always walked around with a tank top two sizes too small and a pair of booty shorts but his eyes never lingered. Was he not interested in me at all? Was that the problem?I shook my head. I decided not to let this affect me. It wasn’t like I liked him. I found him attractive, yes, but I didn’t want to date him or anything. I just wanted to caress my ego and let him take my virginity.There was a knock on the room door that startled me. He
Adriana Jensen~•~A lot of people would back down after being embarrassed but it only strengthened my resolve.I wanted him even more.I didn’t know if he was playing hard to get or if he was just trying to respect the fact that I used to be with his nephew, but I didn’t mind. He was attracted to my body and I was going to make use of the said body to make him fall.Saint had been the one to sponsor the trip. It made me wonder if she came for a vacation or other business as he was always going out alone.It was nighttime already, but he wasn’t back yet. As usual, I checked his location but I frowned when I saw that he was still around the hotel, unmoving.I wanted to call him but I had a feeling that would just result in him turning off his location and possibly, his phone so I wouldn’t be able to contact him. We hadn’t spoken yesterday after he addressed the issue of me trying to seduce him so it was kind of awkward around us.Sighing, I opened the door to the balcony and stepped ou
Adriana Jensen~•~“Adriana,” he called my name in a mocking tone. “You’re a naive virgin who doesn’t know anything about a man actually wanting her.” My cheeks bloomed red at the insult and I was already done with him. “So if you think you can handle me–“I didn’t wait for him to finish before I ripped his hand away from my neck. I’d given him an opportunity and he couldn’t just shut up and take it. He just had to remind me that nobody wanted me.I removed his jacket from my shoulders and threw it on the ground with anger. I tried to walk away but he didn’t let me this time. He grabbed my hand and backed me against the wall again, his eyes flashing dangerously. “Where do you think you’re going?”“If you don’t want me, you can just say that. You don’t have to put it out that nobody wants me as well. It’s disrespectful.”“Nobody wants you? Darling, you couldn’t be any further from the truth.”Men liked my body, yes, but other than that, there was nothing special about me that would mak
Saint Giordano~•~I had told Adriana not to regret it before I kissed her but I was the one currently regretting it,No, I didn’t hate the kiss nor did I hate her.I just hated the fact that I gave in to my desires and kissed her because I wanted it again. I knew it would be a bad decision once I considered shutting her up by kissing her but I just couldn’t help myself. I was down bad for her but she only wanted me as revenge.I wasn’t blind or stupid. There was no way she fell out of love with Ben within a week and fell for me. I wanted her to want me but I had never been a delusional man.I didn’t like stubborn women, but Adriana was stubborn as fuck. She was also very relentless. I thought she was finally going to back off after yesterday, but it seemed to make her try harder. I always prided myself in having self-control but things like that didn’t exist when she pranced around our suite wearing the littlest of clothes as though she knew how easily she could move me.Fuck. I was
Adriana Jensen~•~I fell asleep on the couch but when I woke up the next morning, I was on the bed, properly tucked in.That only meant one thing.Saint carried me to bed.I wondered what he thought of me after last night. All he had to do was kiss me and I was willing to let him do whatever he wanted to do to me in public. Did it make me seem cheap?I touched my lips. I could still feel the imprint of his mouth on mine. It was aggressive and seemed like it could easily bruise me but it didn’t. I didn’t want to be that girl but what did that mean for us?Was it progress? Had he agreed to take my virginity even if he wasn’t going to do it now? Was he going to date me or something despite being his nephew’s ex? Or were we going to go back to square one? Would that change the trajectory of our relationship?I groaned into my pillow. How was I going to face him this morning? What made me think it was going to be a good idea to chase him? It seemed like one when all I did was follow him a
