Chapter Sixteen
The door of the car flew open and Laurence shifted to make room for her. She climbed into the car.
"Good morning sir," she greeted Laurence, his hot gaze playing havoc upon her nerves. He took in her delicious look liking the way the blush pink outfit matched her rosy cheeks.
"Good morning," he answered her in a husky tone while Tim loaded her luggage onto the car. "Ready?" He asked and she nodded. Tim climbed onto the driver's seat and drove off towards the airport.
They checked in at the airport and waited for their flight. In fifteen minutes they walked towards their terminal. Arianna was surprised to find that they were the only passengers boarding the car which would take them to their airplane. She saw the jet at a distance. It was a sleek white and silver jet looking magnificent as it awaited their arrival.
"Good morning and welcome Mr Lennard," the pilot greeted Laurence.
"Good Morning, Kevin," said Laurence. "This is my PA and Secretary, Arianna Willis, " introduced Laurence. "Arianna, this is Kevin Bradshaw, our pilot."
"Hello," said Arianna. She looked around and saw that they were the only ones boarding the flight. She'd never been on a flight before. Maybe they were the last ones to board the flight. Laurence led her inside the jet towards the main area which was furnished with sofas and creative coffee tables. It was separated from a dining room with a decorative screen. There were also comfortable seats for landing.
Laurence sat down on one of the comfortable seats for take off and indicated the one beside him to Arianna. She sat down and fiddled with the seat belt unable to fix it it. Laurence stretched and fixed her seatbelt, brushing his hands against her soft body. He couldn't help himself. The memory of her soft body against his bare length was all he had thought of the whole of yesterday. He didn't get a wink of sleep as the wish to hold her again drove him crazy. So here he was whisking her away two days ahead of his meeting.
"Where are the other passengers? Won't we wait for them?" She asked innocently.
Laurence smiled,"This is my private jet Aria. So no one else would be travelling with us, " he informed her.
"Oh, " she stared wide eyed at the sleek and expansive interior of the jet. There was nothing artificial about her. She'd never seen or been on a jet let alone a private one. She couldn't mask her jaw dropped stare. Laurence looked at her indulgently, glad to be the first one to experience this.
"We'll take off in five minutes, okay? Wanna hold my hand?" He asked gently.
"Yes please, " she said shyly. Laurence outstretched his palm towards her, asking for her hand. She shyly placed her soft hand into his and he clasped onto it firmly. The jet took off while he kept watching her keep her eyes tightly closed. He wanted to pick her up and hold her close to him. They were now at a good height and the seat belt weren't required any longer. Laurence unlocked hers as well as his seat belt.
"It's a thirteen hour flight. There's a bedroom in case you need to freshen up or rest," he informed her. Arianna nodded wide-eyed that his jet had a bedroom too? She blushed at the prospect of spending thirteen hours with her hot boss on his jet all alone, that too with a bedroom behind her seat. Would he start where he had left off yesterday? Arianna turned crimson as the memory of his naked body filled her head. She had to get rid of these disturbing thoughts else she'd never be able to get any work done around him. Work, she had to think something related to work.
"Sir could you update me about this business trip. I haven't received any details about it," she said, patting herself mentally for coming up with something productive. She needed to know some details to be able to help him with it. This would keep her busy enough for the next few hours.
"Yes I'll just mail you," said Laurence, mentally smacking his own forehead. He was so excited at the prospect of spending a few days with her that he had completely forgotten about the work that they needed to attend there. He took out his laptop and started working.
Arianna took out her tablet and checked the other emails that had arrived into the inbox of the company's email addresses. She checked the email that he sent her. Their London outlets were doing very well and they were planning to start a production team there. This trip was about the planning for the same.
"We have several meetings lined up. With the head of our marketing team there in London. Then we have a meeting with a real estate agency. They would show us a few office buildings. We need a proper office and a production department there. We would have to conduct a few interviews. This trip might take longer than three days. Hope you're okay with that?" Asked Laurence. The truth was that he just needed to buy the office and production space. The rest could be handled by his trusted right hand, Killian Gibson. But he wanted to stretch this trip and try to woo her and make her his, only his.
"I can stay as long as it requires me to, sir," she said, going back to her tab and reading the rest of the emails.
Laurence was glad that she was willing to stay. He couldn't get any work done with her sitting beside him so he simply exchanged messages with his best friend, Troy Wagner.
Troy - I'd gone over to your house. What's this urgent trip to London all about?
Laurence - Will explain when I return.
Troy - Weren't you supposed to go two days later?
Laurence - Yes but I was going crazy about Arianna. So had to plan this earlier.
Troy - Is she with you?
Laurence - Yes.
Troy - When are you returning?
Laurence - Dunno. As soon as I can make her mine.
Troy - You're in love bro.
Laurence - Yes I guess.
Troy - Will wait for the good news.
Laurence - Sure.
Troy - Best of luck.
Laurence - Thanks.
He disconnected the text chat app and looked to see that Arianna wasn't on her seat. Where did she go? He searched for her in the washroom. She wasn't there. He went to the bedroom, she wasn't there either. He went towards the en-suite and was about to open the door when it opened and Arianna came out only to collide with his chest. She looked up at him with shock.
"S sir?" She stammered.
"I couldn't find you anywhere so I got worried, " he said, feeling stupid. What was wrong with him? What was about this young innocent girl that made him lose his head?
"Oh, I'm sorry, you were busy so I, " she started but Laurence just touched her lips with his index finger to quieten her.
"Shh, it's okay. It isn't your fault," he said in a husky voice. His arms went around her waist on it's own accord. It seemed that he had no control upon his limbs too. He pulled her close to his chest as her eyes widened at the implication. His fingers tucked her hair behind her ear and she trembled like a leaf.
"Aria," he whispered, his eyes going to her plump lips which she licked nervously. She looked at his lips too and Laurence just lost it.
"Kiss me Aria, " he whispered hoarsely. "I need you." Arianna stared at his face inches from her own, as her heart thundered inside her chest. Her delicate creamy arm went around his shoulders to the nape of his neck while the other tenderly held his cheek. Laurence's breath hitched with anticipation. She pulled his face closer and claimed his lips gently. It was the most innocently beautiful kiss ever.
He parted his lips for her and she glided her tongue into his mouth. Then she kissed him sweetly showing him that she too had the same fire burning inside her. Laurence took over the kiss, dominating it, kissing her with wild abandon. His hands roamed all over her body. He held her hips and moulded them to his growing erection.
"Laurence, " she moaned sweetly. Laurence stilled. He broke the kiss and stared at her swollen mouth.
"Say it again, Aria, " he demanded.
"I think I should get back. It's lunchtime already," she said with a sigh. How could she get so carried away with her boss? She hurried out of the bedroom and to her seat. The air hostess asked permission from her to serve their lunch. An upset Laurence came out after five minutes and sat down grumpily opposite her. He didn't look at her at all. He wanted to hear her call him again and she ran away without giving in to his wishes.
Their food was served and they ate with disinterest. Arianna felt bad that he was so upset and Laurence swore that he would continue to try till she was completely his. Till then he would make her stay with him at London.
