Love and Memories

Chapter 7

They drove for about forty-five minutes before they got to the location.

It was a harbor and everyone got on to the beautiful white yacht, which the clients were already waiting for them.

Daria had not noticed it earlier trying to avoid Nicholas, but everyone was wearing red or had red in them except her.

Daria felt a little embarrassed, but went with the flow. The meeting commence, with Daria kicking it off her presentation.

She beamed with confidence and pride as she went through it. At the end of it all the clients were impressed and the contract was signed and finalized.

Everyone began to party, drinks were shared and most people were already drunk except Daria and Nicholas.

Nicholas ordered the yacht be turned around, Daria on the other avoided contact with Nicholas. She talked and chatted with some of the team members when she spotted Nicholas approaching them.

She excused herself and escaped into the corridor leading to the staterooms and suddenly she bumped into a waitress. The tray of food spilled on her dress.

“I am sorry ma'am” the waitress immediately apologized. “It's okay” Daria smiled using the towels to clean herself up but it only made things worse. Nicholas came up behind Daria, “you can go” he dismissed the waitress. “She was helping me” Daria frowned at him. “I am here now” he pulled her by the arm into one of the rooms.

"Take it off” Nicholas said searching through a tote bag seated on the table. “What? No” Daria exclaimed, her cheeks turned red. “Put this on instead” he said bringing out a red summer dress. Daria stood hesitant.

“I will do it myself then” Nicholas stepped forward. “I will change” Daria stepped back to increase the distance between them. Nicholas handed the dress to her, Daria went into the washroom and changed up. The dress hung low on her bosom reveal a lot of it was a backless flowy dress, Nicholas surveyed her body.

“You look perfect in red” he said. “Shall we?” He opened the door for her. Daria walked out of the room and onto the patio, but to her surprise everyone was gone. “Where is everyone?” Daria asked looking around, she noticed that the yacht had just left the harbor with them in it.

“The yacht, left with us in it” she informed Nicholas who seemed strangely calm. “Come with me” Nicholas stretched his hand to her. “Where?” Daria looked visibly worried. But she followed him anyway, he sat on the chairs facing the sea and poured a glass of wine for himself. “We need to leave” Daria said worried fir her safety. “Don't worry I asked that we be taken on a ride” Nicholas replied.

“You planned this” Daria said surprised. “I should have known, you want to exploit me” she continued “oh my goodness”. Nicholas's mood instantly changed. “Who exactly do you think I am” he got to his feet his face hardened. “Since we met you haven't said anything nice to me” his aura changed and became dangerous.

“What did I do?” He walked up to her pinning her to the wall of the inner cabin. Daria felt her feet turn cold with fear. Her back pressed into the wall. “You are…you” Daria began to fumble with her words. “I can sense, how you feel when your around me” he suddenly changed his tone, lifting her chin up with is fingers.

“You don't need to hide it” he looked into her eyes. Daria's cheek grew hotter “I don't know what your talking about” she lowered her gaze. “Don't lie” Nicholas said rubbing his thumb on her cheeks. “I know you feel something, deep down” he whispered into her ears. Daria held her breath scared if what would happen.

“What you are feeling is the exact reason you pretend to not like me” he continued whispering into her ears. “It is also the reason you have been avoiding me all day” he said returning his eye to hers but Daria had her eyes shut. “Look at me Daria” Nicholas he commanded. This was the first time he had actually said her name.

Daria kept her eyes shut. “Daria look at me” he asked again, like a magic spell her fluttered open. “Do you want me to kiss you?” He asked staring at her lips. Daria nodded in response, causing Nicholas to smile as he captured her lips in his. Licking and tasting every inch of her plum strawberry lips.

Daria returned his kiss with the same intensity. She kissed him like a starved child, she opened up her lips and let him in. Nicholas slid his tongue in to find hers and danced in a rhythm, erupting more passion between them. Nicholas broke off from the kiss, and pulled her closer to him.

“I want to do so much more to you” he paused cupping her face in his other hand. “But I will only do it when you are ready” he added as he let go of her and walked away. Daria turned sour, she stood still as she watched him walk away. She didn't know what happened but she wanted more and he was holding back. She chased after him, “you can't leave me hanging” she screamed blocking his path.

“You can't decide if I am ready” she continued closing in in him. “Do you really want this Daria” he asked. “You hate me, you think I am bad person, don't you” he said looking into her eyes for answers. Daria stood speechless, “I don't want to do anything you will regret” he added as he walked away.

But Daria was having none if it, “if I hate you I would never kiss you” she paused waiting for him to stop but he didn't so she ran after him and hugged him from the back. “I don't know what I am feeling right now but, I want you” she confessed. “I have not been able to stop thinking about you I….” Nicholas cut her, taking her in his arms.

"Please” she returned his embrace. “I want you” she added. Nicholas broke all restraints holding him. He picked her up and went into the room. “Do you want this” he asked again. Daria nodded “yes”. Nicholas captured her lips and kissed her passionately, his hands ran to the her back pressing her closer to himself.

Tracing his fingers on her back he grabbed her bum, causing her to gasp in his mouth. Nicholas picked her up, as she straddled him, his member twitched in delight, rising to form a bulge in his trouser. He sat on the bed with Daria on his laps as there tongues danced in unison.

Daria could feel her heart flutter in delight, “undress me” Nicholas said and Daria unbuttoned his shirt slowly. She gawked at his well built chest and muscles, using her fingers she began to trace his body. Her fingers traced his abs as he watched her go lower to his abdomen, “no not yet” he held her hands to stop her.

“Allow me” he said, lifting her, he placed her on the bed with her back. Effortlessly he untied the strap holding her dress in place, while kissing her. The dress fell revealing her bare breast
