i take my time getting ready, basking in the aura of the room as i listen to the conversations between the girls. my heart feels full, a fuzzy sensation flowing through me. i chose a green dress for the evening, blushing as i imagine rob's reaction to it. jana helps me with my hair, pulling small sections into braids. i pull her into a hug, "thank you, baby" my voice is warm, appreciation radiating off of it. after we're all dressed we take pictures, hyping each other up before we head downstairs.
i see rob before he notices us, admiring the chorded muscles in his arms and chest. as soon as i clear the steps i reach for him, allowing him to pull me against his body. we stand with the other islanders, sharing a toast and chatting as we drink the champagne. his hand absentmindedly strokes my hip, the heat from his palm radiating through my dress. when the group starts to separate, rob takes my hand as we walk upstairs to soul ties. he helps me step in, gently pulling off my heels and settling me in his lap. his hands run up my thighs, gripping my hips to pull me against him.
"you look so good, pretty girl" he whispers, brushing kisses against my cheek. i smile sweetly, "thank you, you look very good yourself." i run my hands over his arms, dragging my fingers over his shoulders before pressing my palms to his chest. my hand rests against his skin, his heartbeat fluttering against my palm, the rhythm speeding up the longer we look at each other. "gonna give me a kiss?" he asks, his voice thick with lust. i wait a second before leaning forward, my chest brushing his as i leave sweet, sipping kisses against his lips.
he deepens the kiss, his tongue tracing my bottom lip before he bites softly. i whimper, dragging my nails down his chest, the sting pulling a raspy groan from him. we pull away slightly, panting as we try to catch our breath. my heart stutters as i meet his gaze, the heat flashing through his eyes sending shivers down my spine. "talk" i whisper, my voice cracking slightly, "we need to talk." he nods, pulling back as he tries to tamp down the desire flooding his body. "you can talk to me about anything, birdie. you know that" his voice is calm, washing away any worries i was carrying.
i take a deep breath, trying to sort out how best to describe my thoughts. "what's going to happen when we leave the villa? i'm not trying to pressure you or anything but i really like you, rob. i know you have your whole life in alabama, i guess i'm just asking if you want me in it?" my voice is quiet, threaded with nerves as i wait for his answer. he grips my chin, leaving a kiss on my lips before he responds, "we're going to go on dates, i'm gonna learn everything about you and when you're ready, i'm going to ask you to be my girlfriend. you'll take me to meet your family and i'll do the same and eventually we're gonna introduce them. i plan to be in your life forever, aurora wren."
he smiles slightly, "i want everything you're willing to give me." i blush wildly, his words wrapping around me as my heart rate rises. "forever is a long time" i say, a smile pulling at my lips. he shrugs slightly, not bothered by my words at all. "i can give you forever" i whisper, knowing i would give him anything he asked for. he pulls me into another kiss, our lips moving together in slow synchrony. it feels as though something shifts during our kiss, our movements growing needier, pulling each other closer. we break away after a while, my lips tingling as i try to catch my breath.
he pulls me closer, laying down as i relax into his chest, melting against his steady heartbeat. we spend the rest of the night talking about everything and nothing, enjoining the privacy. he watches me, his hand gently running down my back as we close ourselves off from the rest of the world, only us existing in this moment. eventually he shakes me gently, whispering in my ear, "it's time to get ready for bed, sweet girl. gotta get up." i nod but curl further into him, letting him carry me to the beauty room.
he knocks on the door, waiting for permission before he walks in. sitting down at the vanity, he holds me in his lap, gently taking my makeup off and undoing my hair. "what else do you need?" i tell him that's it, grabbing my pajamas as we head to the bathroom. i lean against him as i brush my teeth and wash my face, leaving quickly to change. we walk into the bedroom together, nodding and telling the other islanders goodnight. he pulls down the blankets, tucking me in before crawling in on the other side, wrapping his body around mine.
