60: Stay away from Jared

Stay away from Jared

Aria's brain exploded at the sudden kiss. The kiss was slow and gentle. His cold lips ignited something within her heart. It was a pleasant feeling she had never felt before. She closed her eyes, savoring the kiss.

Noah looked at Aria's face. She had closed her eyes, yet she was responding to him. He was ecstatic that she did not reject him. He sucked on her lips and bit on it. Aria opened her mouth to let him in which he did gladly. Her hands immediately held his neck, pulling him closer.

Noah's tongue intertwined with Aria's and they danced along with a tune which was the tune of their hearts. He had never tasted anything like that, it was sweeter than honey. The kiss was quite passionate and slowly their breathing became heavy.

Aria tapped his shoulders when it became difficult to breathe. Noah released her at once and looked at her. She was still in a daze and a thin line of saliva was still connecting their lips.

She never expected Noah to suddenly confess to her. Although she felt a sort of fascination towards him, she was still not sure if she liked him. But on hearing that Noah liked her, she felt immensely happy. She felt like she was floating on the clouds.

"So?" Noah pulled Aria on his lap and brushed her hair. She blinked once, twice, thrice. But she did not know what to say to him. She stared at him stupefied.

"I don't know."

"You don't know?" Noah asked looking at her confused expression. He realized that one kiss was not enough for Aria to realize what she felt for him. So he pressed his lips onto hers once again.

This time the kiss was demanding and a little rough. Noah alternated between sucking, biting and licking her lips.

Aria's heart, which had calmed down, started to beat erratically again. When Noah squeezed her waist, she gasped and he plunged his tongue inside. He easily dominated her mouth, tasting the sweetness once again.

"Wait," Aria said, when he had pulled back for a second. But her words were immediately swallowed when he kissed her, leaving no room for her to protest. After kissing her for a while, he pulled back and looked at her. He gave her some time to calm down.

After some time, when Noah realized that Aria was returning to earth, he spoke.

"So?"

"Noah, I don't know," Aria said the same thing again. Hearing her words, his face fell at once.

'Maybe, she doesn't feel the same way.' He thought.

Looking at his sad face, Aria panicked. She immediately held his neck and made him look at her.

"Noah, I need time alright. We have known each only for a few days. I don't deny that I am attracted to you. In fact, you are the first person I ever felt like this. But I need time to sort my feelings." Aria said, hoping that he would understand.

"How about this? Let's date. If we are comfortable, then let's take the next step." She suggested.

"You want me to take it slow?" Noah read between the lines.

"Yes. As I said, I am still confused about what I feel for you." Aria leaned her head on his chest.

Noah smiled. Although she had not said how she felt, her actions were enough for him. He hugged her and kissed her forehead.

"Okay. Let's date for now. I'll wait for you."

Aria beamed hearing his words. She was happy that he understood her dilemma and gave her space. They hugged each other. Their peaceful time was interrupted by the ringing of a phone. Aria jumped at the sudden distraction. She had not noticed that she was sitting on Noah's lap till then. However, Noah pulled her back immediately. He looked at his phone coldly. It was his sister.

"What?" He asked irritated. Rachel had dared to interrupt his blissful time with Aria. It was a given that he was angry.

"Calm down, brother. What got your pants twisted? Did I interrupt something?" Rachel teased.

"If you have nothing to say, then I'll cut the call." Noah glanced at Aria who was listening to his conversation. He gave her a smile and stroked her hair. She looked perfect sitting on his lap.

"Wow. Wow. Wow. Hold on, brother. I have something to ask."

"What?"

"Have you heard of Jared Augustus?"

"How do you know him?" Noah's voice changed at once. It alarmed Aria and Rachel.

Aria stared at Noah's fuming face. Though he was angry and was clenching his jaw, he looked incredibly sexy. She gulped at the sight.

"He came to my office. He wants me to take up a project."

"Reject it at once," Noah answered straight away. He is not good news. Stay as far away as possible from him. He is dangerous."

"Okay. Okay. I found him weird too."

"Did he do something to you?"

"No. No. Bryan was with me all the time."

"Good. Don't handle any of his projects."

"Okay."

"If there is nothing, then bye."

"Wait. What's the matter? Why are you hurrying to end our talk?"

Noah disconnected the call. He did not have time to listen to Rachel's nonsense.

"Is everything alright?" Aria saw that Noah was still angry.

"Yes. Everything is fine. It's just matters related to work."

"Ohh. Okay. Can you drop me at the hotel?"

Despite the fact that Noah wanted Aria to stay, he couldn't say it. It was too early in their relationship. He nodded at her and gave her a peck. Both of them stood up and went outside. Ronnie was already waiting for them. He opened the car door, allowing them to enter. As soon as Noah sat down beside Aria, he pulled her to his lap. The partition was already up. So, they were isolated.

"What are you doing?" Aria cried in surprise.

"I am doing nothing," Noah said as he hugged her.

"Let go of me."

"No."

"Noah."

"Aria."

"Let me go. Will you?"

"No."

"Yes." Aria took a deep breath when Noah's hands started rubbing on her back.

"No."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"No." Aria breathed, while Noah smiled. It took her some time to realize that he had tricked her.

"You. You."

"I am what?"

"You.."2

"Are you say that I am incredibly handsome, smart and sexy. You wanna say that? Thank you." Noah pulled her closer to him.

"No way. I want to say that you are a devil, a hooligan." Aria puffed up her cheeks.

"Thank you. That's the best compliment I have ever heard."

"Ugh. I hate you."

"No you don't."

"Yes, I do."

"It's okay. I am honored to be hated by you." Noah pecked her lips again. Before Aria could respond, he had pulled back.

Aria pouted. She never knew he was this clingy. Looking at her, Noah chuckled. He found her very interesting and delightful.

"Boss, we have arrived," Ronnie said on the intercom, startling Aria. She jumped off his lap and got down.

"So, goodnight." Aria gazed at Noah who had got down along with her.

"Goodnight, my dear."

Aria's heart misbehaved once again. She was losing it. She couldn't control her heart whenever she was with Noah. It had its own mind.

Aria gave him a peck quickly and ran away before he could react. It took some time for Noah to understand what had happened. He grinned and got inside the car.

On the side, Mason had seen Aria kiss Noah. He was waiting for Aria since she had left in the afternoon. He was highly frustrated as it was already night and she had not yet returned. But when he saw her getting down along with Noah and giving him a kiss, he lost it completely. He had never seen Aria being this close with any man before, not even him. She had always rejected his advances. Now, he had seen her kiss someone. He couldn't tolerate it.

'I need to do something before it is too late and I lose Aria.'
