The Traps of Black Swan

Aarvi bit her lower lip gazing at Aaron's mixed emotions, she didn't regret what she did but she didn't know how to react now. She couldn't understand how Aaron easily spoke to her every time he kissed her while her mind fell into a mess.

She was about to silently sit back, her eyes widened looking at his brow raise and a mischievousness dancing in his eyes. 'Oh ho I am in danger.'

As though she could read his mind, 'There is no way out of the bottomless abyss.' She thought and quickly but in poise got off from the couch hoping he would work without reacting.

Since he never reacted whenever she tried to seduce him, she also thought he wouldn't care, 'It was just a kiss on the cheek.' She thought but she was extremely wrong.

A deep and magnetic voice sounded on her right side, "Aarvi…"

And, it was done, Aarvi held her long skirt of the gown and ran out. For no particular reason, she even screamed considering leaving the villa quickly and he wouldn't do anything outside.

Aaron didn't care about the work anymore and immediately gave some work to his feet. His long legs were far faster than her short footsteps on her sky-high heels.

In the blink of an eye, they played a cat and mice game before she was caught, cornered by Aaron who loved her flustered state which failed to put on her composure.

He didn't speak and waited for her to relax, leaving no way out. Aarvi breathed slowly and spoke seriously to show the importance, "Aaron, you have urgent work to finish it soon, then we have to attend reception too."

Aaron saw her widened almond eyes form big rounds blinking at him cautiously. He teased carrying mirth in his tone, "Since you expected me to do something, how can I let you down?"

Aarvi retorted immediately with a lie, "Nope, I didn't expect anything. Absolutely Nothing." It was just a white lie to save herself

He nodded and saw her eyes brighten up but his words were opposite to it like his mischief tone, "Then why did you run?"

'Why did I run? Where the freaking hell did I throw my brain?' Aarvi thought and responded, stressing her words, "I wanted to go out. Yeah…"

'Yeah?! Why did I say that?' She thought, realizing she sounded like she was convincing herself when it was actually the fact.

Aaron nodded slowly however Aarvi knew it didn't mean he was believing her. Aaron asked the next question, "Then why did you scream?"

She had no comeback for it. He is a feast to eyes, so handsome that she couldn't give a reason as he is scary.

Aaron saw her pursuing the lips, blinking her eyes making a cute expression to let her off. He had no such thoughts anyway, "Shouldn't I be the one to scream being a victim of your kiss?"

Aarvi's lips twitched hearing him, 'You shameless man, it was just a simple cheek kiss. I had tried to seduce you.'

She said in ever so calmness trying to fool the man, "Aaron Rivas, we aren't teenagers to behave like this. Enough of this, go back to your work."

Again, Aaron slowly nodded in seriousness without moving an inch, "You are right. We aren't naive teenagers."

'Oh god, why did I even kiss him?' Aarvi thought clearly knowing he was twisting her words and will make his comeback in the name of adults yet she knew he wouldn't do something she will be uncomfortable with, 'Then why am I flustered?'

She couldn't believe her simple kiss on his cheek left her so confused in front of the man who for the first time succeeded in winning over her brain.

Aaron took a small step back and saw her hiding her unexpected victor of happiness over him. However, she didn't realize why he took a step until he wrapped his arm around her legs and threw her on his shoulder.

Then he announced, "Let's do adult things then." and steadily walked towards the bedroom hearing her scream.

Aarvi was too shocked to react when she felt her head upside down. As soon as his words registered to her mind, she let out a yell, "Aaronnnnn… Let me down… Aaron… I am not…"

Aaron laid her on the bed and got on top of her cutting her words in half. A devilish smirk didn't leave his lips. Aarvi was red in embarrassment due to her own behavior looking at the man. She felt like, 'Devil is on the hunt.' looking at his playful eyes.

"Where do you want to start?" His finger started trailing from her forehead, it slid aside and circled her cheek without breaking her graze.

Aarvi tried hard before her bulb lit and spoke, "Even though we are not teens, It's obviously our first time in a proper relationship. We should slowly take a step." And fell into the trap woven for her.

Aaron immediately agreed, "Alright." He looked convinced and okay with the arrangement. Aarvi slowly let out a breath that in turn assaulted his skin.

He rightfully said, cutting off her relief breath, "Now, kiss me, I will let you go."

Aarvi strongly felt they were in a teenager drama, "Nope. Get off." She ordered.

Aaron nonchalantly asked, "So you want adult-rated?"

'Adult rated?!' She remembered herself with Aaron replacing leads in a movie scene and flushed red like a ripened tomato.

Assuming he would let her go, her hand swiftly held his chin to turn his face aside and planted a quickest kiss on his cheek before leaving him as though she didn't do anything, "Go back to work."

Aaron really felt her face near but he was doubtful whether her nose touched or her lips because she was that fast without letting him feel it. He sighed, "You don't even know to give a proper kiss on the cheek. I will teach you."

"Nooo…" Aarvi tried to push him but he gently pressed his lips on her forehead silencing her, "Aarvi Evans, you should feel it." His kiss was as tender as his tone that even he didn't know he had it in him.

'Aarvi Evans.' It sounded nice, Aarvi blinked but didn't utter a word while his tone tantalized her ear threatening to bring a smile on her face.

Aaron continued down her forehead, on her right eyelid then left. "Just like how you kissed for the first time. Soft, gentle, heartfelt, willing, affectionate, lingering."

He brushed his nose to her and gazed at her astonishment filled eyes thinking whether her simple kiss on his cheek carried so many emotions. Thinking back to his kiss on her forehead, she realized a kiss is more than just pressing the lips and it about emotions which she had when she kissed the first time.

Anyway, in the next movement the romantic man turned to a mischief devil, "That you learn, I will enjoy."

"Enjoy!?" She had just uttered, the man slipped his hand to her nape and started showering kisses on her face without giving her time to react. The kisses were swift but hearty, they were brief but not long, delicate, and overwhelming making her look like dazed cooked shrimp on the bed.

Aarvi hadn't realized when her hand had reached his neck. Aaron watched her red delicious lips and subconsciously gulped without attacking them. He heard her utter, "Monster…"

Aaron let out a hearty chuckle in amusement caressing her cheek, "My love, it's just a beginning. I don't mind being called a big bad wolf and sexy beast."

Aarvi: "..."

'Why do they sound like compliments?'

Thinking whether she complimented him or scolded, her hands wrapped around his neck pulling him down almost causing him to crash on her. Aaron was quick to adjust his maximum body weight on the bed while she rested his head on her shoulder wandering in her own thoughts bringing a smile on his face.

Aaron asked seeing her pout in displeasure after a few seconds, "What's wrong?"

"If you had found me in country S, we could have had great fun. We missed everything." The pout of displeasure was back on her face caressing his head as though it was natural for them to cuddle.

Aaron lifted up, pressing his elbows on the bed to face her, "Were you thinking about us all this time?" He was curious.

Aarvi nonchalantly responded to the fact, "Yeah, It would be so nice, now all we have is responsibilities, work, and…" She didn't complete it and sighed.

Aaron flicked on her head for dwelling in the days when they weren't together, "Live your life through your heart. Your mind will take care of the rest."

Genuine happiness flashed on her petite face brightening it like a radiant sun. She pressed her lips on his cheek before uttering next to his ear, "Okay!" Then she skipped out getting off from bed informing him, "Don't regret later."

Aaron smiled to himself and lay on the bed. He was glad he went to the resort to spend time with her.

Aarvi who went out was dragged to the bride's room where the bride and groom were ready to beg her seeing her reluctant.

Aarvi was thinking about what to do when Naomi went towards them and tried to convince, "Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, Ms. Evans is recovering now and I don't think she knows to do it. So please don't pressure her."

Dax furrowed his brows feeling Naomi wasn't actually helping even though she sounded sweet and considerate.

Aarvi turned to the woman who stood as a well-bred lady holding a wine flute. She was thinking Naomi had a big misunderstanding about her just because she is quiet.

Before Aarvi could react to her, "Ahhh…" Naomi fell on her face depicting Aarvi tripped her.

"Ahh…" The bride who was in her expensive wedding gown cried out as soon the red wine spilled towards her.

Naomi viciously grinned on the floor ready to blame everything on Aarvi.
