Chapter 24

My head was bursting in pain, Ah! My head! Damn! It’s pounding like a drum inside my head. I tried to open my eyes but the light made me cringe.

Why the hell did I drink so much when I knew my tolerance of alcohol is so low. On top of that, both Em and Susan encouraged me to drink more and more when they clearly knew how bad I’m at handling Alcohol .

Urh! I truly need Aspirin in order to get rid of this headache. I tried to open my eyes again thinking of calling the waiter to get me an aspirin but when I opened my eyes, I was stunned. The surroundings here took my breath away.

What the fucking hell!

Words could not come out of my mind by looking at my surroundings, which lead to the largest shriek I can ever make out of my mouth.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa……." Where the hell I’m and what the hell am I doing on this lifeboat? Oh my God! I looked around myself, my eyes searching for the cruise somewhere in the ocean but what I saw was blue water all around me.

I didn't know what to do! My body turned cold in fear and I cried no, wailed like a child screaming over the top of it's lungs.

"Will you stop screaming, You will make me deaf by this shrill voice of yours."

And I looked at the source of that voice. It was that arrogant ass! And my screamed grew even louder.

He grimaced. " Stop screaming will you? Show some manners or Do you only know how to shout or how to kick someone between the shrines? Don’t you think you need to learn some basic manners?" He snapped at me.

That arrogant SOB! How dare he insult me. "Oh really? And you need to learn how to stop talking like you own the fucking world. You, arrogant infuriating bull! And now tell me. ``What the hell are you doing on this boat?" My eyes grew wide.

"How did I come here or Did you kidnap me?"

He simply arched his brows. "Why would I kidnap you when I own you, Mrs knights?"

"Stop calling me that!" I shrieked. He gave me an unimpressive look and looked around as if searching something in the boat.

I gripped his elbow and turned him towards me. "I am asking you something? Tell me how I came here and how did you end up with me here?"

He glanced at my hand and slowly raised his eyes to meet mine. The look in his eyes made my toes squirm in fear."Leave my hand, Mrs Knights."

And I did, the Darkness in his gaze scared me senseless. "Don't ever touch me disrespectfully."

I gulped in fear. His gaze was unsettling and I was angry at myself for letting that asshat affect me but more than that I was irritated because he knew he scared me.

In order to divert him from the topic, I looked around and my eyes went to a small island a little far from there.

I was beyond happy. "Look there is an island, we both can reach it if we start paddling, let's do it so that we can have a place to rest." I said cheerfully, forgetting that he was my enemy. Because right now I need this Asshat, at least I had someone with me. Even thinking about being here alone scared me senseless.

⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜

Liam knows that Aurora was trying to divert the topic but this time he let her go, by looking at her flushed face, he smirked at her and agreed to paddle the boat.

"Do you know how to handle the paddle?" He asked her.

"No, I haven't done it before!" She replied slowly, diverting her eyes from him.

The corners of his lips tugged upward. "Okay, let me teach you," he said as he moved behind her and held her soft hands into his, not leaving any chance to touch her soft skin.

Aurora's breathing quickened at the close proximity of his body. Her heart was beating so loudly that she could even hear her heartbeat.

He neared her ear and said "you need to use your thumb and keep the paddle between your fingers and the thumb and start paddling forward which will help us to go forward. Do you understand?" He rasped, making Aurora gulp.

"Yes, I did."

Liam moved a little more closer, touching her back with her front body. He could hear the sharp intake of her breath when he purposefully made her feel his morning wood.

"Will you be able to handle this paddle, Mrs Knights?" He whispered tracing her earlobe with the tip of his tongue. Aurora closed her eyes as she was lost, lost in his words and her body had a mind of her own.

Liam chuckled seeing her but then his eyes darkened as he recalled how she almost managed to kick him. He recalled how she insulted him many times. He wanted to enjoy her body, yes but he wanted to punish her too.

Pain and pleasure she would be enjoying both with him. Because she needed to learn that her actions have consequences. It could be a positive consequence of her following the rules set by him, if she agreed to do as she was told and pain because he won't tolerate her disrespecting him.

So to teach her a lesson he pushed her away from his body. "If you want to be fucked then you have to earn that Mrs Knight! Today I am not in the mood to fuck you."

As if someone poured hot boiling oil over her. She opened her eyes and saw him turning his back at her and paddling the lifeboat. Aurora was ashamed of herself. How could she behave like a wanton? Some tears rolled down her cheek in humiliation. She gulped again as she couldn't control her body around him.

She kept staring at her hands in embarrassment. "Don't just stand here like a statue and start paddling the boat." He snapped.

Aurora gulped again and started doing as she was asked to do holding the sob.

Finally, they reached the shore after almost four hours.

"Damn! I didn’t know that paddling can be so hard, it drains all the energy from my body. Thank God, we reached the shore or else I would have been dead by now." She muttered tiredly as she dabbed the sweet beads from her forehead.

She just lay down on the sand with her hands over her head. "Omg! I'm so exhausted, it feels like I have been hit by a truck. I don’t even have the strength to lift a single finger of mine."

Liam chuckled as he saw her laid down on the sand. He removed his shirt and pants and was about to remove his undies when Aurora screamed. "Stop stripping damn you!"

He arched his brow. "Why? I am sweaty and I need a bath plus I didn't have any change of clothes so I couldn't risk wetting them up, so excuse me!" Saying that he stripped off his underwear.

Aurora placed a hand on her eyes squeezing them tightly. "Arh! Arrogant ass!" She muttered under breath not daring to speak loudly as his warning was still fresh in his mind.

She made a gap between her fingers as she peeked a little to see what he was doing. When she couldn't see him anymore she removed her hand off her eyes and sighed but then her breathing stopped.

Her eyes widened seeing him standing a little far away from her near the lifeboat. Stark naked, in all his glory!

She eyes his perfectly toned body, his wide chest with little trimmed hair on it. Her eyes travelled to his abs and pecs than she eyes his narrow waist leading to...to his.

She closed her eyes again, her mind blank as she went cold in embarrassment. She scolded herself for gawking at him but curiosity got her again as she never saw any man's genitals before. Gabe and her tried many times to take their relationship to the next level but he accused her of being frigid.

Curious because she didn't know how it looks in real life. Whenever Susan and Emily talked about the boy stuff she always felt left alone. She recalled what Susan was talking to Emily once about the size of their partner's d**k.

Susan was angry because it was not long and she vowed not to be with any man unless he has a dick of 6 inches.

Aurora simply rolled her eyes at them that day because she couldn't understand what size matters but today she was curious.

She wanted to know what he looked like there. She gulped before diverting her gaze back to him and was stunned seeing his erection.

Although she never saw anyone's private part before, seeing him as stunned, she was short of words. It was perfect. She wondered how that thick part of his could ever fit any woman, subconsciously she squeezed her legs together as she felt a little friction there.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't see when he dressed in his clothes and walked to her.

Liam smirked when he found her gawking at him. He dressed and walked to her. She was lost in her thoughts and he touched her shoulder.

"Seems you enjoyed the show perfectly, Mrs Knights!"

And Aurora squeezed her eyes in embarrassment.
