Rhea's POV

Hadrian was more than pleased to get out of the party which had been nice for the short amount of time I had been there. Tash proved herself to be even worse than I could imagine and by being pregnant it only put the cherry on the top. I folded my arms to protect my exposed skin from the cold as we went to the massive garage which held at least a dozen of cars. I wasn't surprised by the amount as it didn't take an idiot to realise the DiRomeros were ridiculously wealthy.

"Where's your car?" I asked. Hadrian was observing the cars, trying to decide something.

"It's outside and you're cold so we'll just take one of Seth's."

Was it really that obvious that I was cold? He chose the white Lamborghini, one of many expensive cars. I sat at the front, remembering everything as I would never get the chance to get in a car like this again. Hadrian drove out of the garage and out of the gates.

I didn't say anything so he started the conversation. "So Rhea, do you have any secret talents?"

"That's a random question."

"I know but it fills the silence."

I racked my brain for something interesting. I was very good at being lazy but I doubt that would be considered a talent. "I used to be on a cheerleading team before I moved country."

He looked at me with surprise. "So why didn't you continue?"

"Your girlfriend hated me. Marcia would never have let me join."

"My ex girlfriend. She was a b*tch."

"I know," I said. "I'm still flexible so it's okay."

"Is that so?" Hadrian's eyes raked over my body as if trying to figure out if it was true.

"Keep your eyes on the road," I told him. He, however, laughed.

"My talent is not needing to look when I'm driving."

"Liar. You'll crash and I'll die. You...maybe not."

He raised an eyebrow. "I would never let you die, especially not at my own hands. And I've never crashed accidentally."

"What the f*ck does that mean? So you crash on purpose?"

"If necessary."

I shook my head. Hadrian pulled out his phone and began to type. "Hadrian, look at the road."

"You still don't believe me," he pointed out. Of course I don't. A second later, I found myself on Hadrian's lap facing him. I immediately blushed at how close we were.

"This proves nothing apart from the fact you can move quickly."

He smirked the usual smirk. "I'm not going to look at where we are going and I promise we will arrive safely. And you're going to be my distraction."

"You couldn't have used your phone?"

"You may not have believed me. Now you have a front row seat."

I suddenly became a bit confident and wrapped my arms around his neck, leaving less than a centimeter between us. "You better keep your promise," I muttered.

His eyes darkened with lust. "I will, princess. Time for the distraction."

My heartbeat quickened but stopped as soon as he covered my mouth with his. The kiss sent a current running through my body and I was so lost in the sensation that I forgot that he was still driving. Hadrian's kiss became more dominate as he deepened it while his free arm wrapped itself around my waist.

"F*ck. You're sexy," he muttered against my lips, not breaking away. My hands moved to grip on his hair earning a husky moan from him. I had no intention of wanting it to end as the warmth from his body was driving away the cold I was previously feeling.

Hadrian finally ended the kiss and leaned his head back on the headrest, his eyes closed. I was trying to calm myself down, my heart racing. My hands slid down till they lay on his shoulders but he kept his arm where it was. I then realised we weren't moving and the car was parked outside a hotel.

"We made it," I whispered.

"Somehow. You're a very good distraction," his voice low. He didn't open his eyes. I moved to open the door but he grabbed my hand to stop me. "Wait."

I stilled. His stormy eyes snapped open, mesmerizing me. How can someone be so flawless? Hadrian grinned as if he heard my thoughts.

"Let's go."

*****

An hour later, Hadrian and I were playing the classic game snap in the large suite he had booked. His suit and tie were on the floor and my legs were resting in his lap as we sat on the bed.

"Snap," he said bored.

I threw my cards on the floor in defeat. "You're cheating."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"Prove it."

I sat up and snatched the cards out his hands. They were all plain pieces of card with nothing on them. At all.

"Cheater. I was right." I folded my arms. Hadrian rolled his eyes.

"Why are we playing this game?"

"Because it's fun and there's no-"

Hadrian cut off my sentence by pulling me into another kiss, just as intense as the first one. He pulled me up until I was straddling him and kissed me harder. I soon lost my ability to think. One of his hands traced the length of my spine then froze. He pulled back but still close enough I could smell the mint on his breath.

"You have no bra on," he stated. I nodded as it was true. His eyes became pitch black and he gently moved me off him. "Sh*t, Rhea."

"What?" I was confused.

He ran his hand through his hair frustrated. "I am this close from deciding whether to have sex with you or have a cold shower. And you're not helping me make the right choice."

His bluntness stunned me for a moment. I didn't know whether continuing this thing was going doing what Pia warned me against or whether it would leave me landing into a web of mixed feelings. But I knew I didn't want to end what started.

I leaned into him and pressed a light kiss on his lips then moved away. He pushed me back so I was flat on the bed and he hovered over me.

"I'm not joking, Rhea. If we do this, there's no turning back," he warned. I wrapped my legs around his waist and pulled him closer. He planted kisses across my jaw while his hand trailed the underside of my dress. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

No, I am not continuing you dirty people XD

I was cringing so much. Which is why it took me a week to write this and it wasn't even all the way.

Maybe I'll have enough courage but for now, use your imagination... Wait... Don't do that...

Should I start doing interviews again??
