Falling For My Accidental CEO Husband
Chapter 80: Ohh

Chapter 80: Ohh

Serena leaned closer, her breath warm against Aiden’s cheek as their lips hovered a whisper away from each other. She was going to kiss him like she wanted to. The tension crackled between them like an electric charge. Her hands slid to his neck, caressing his jaw, liking the slight bristle of the stubble on his face and she felt his hands on her waist tighten. Even the injured one as if he too wanted her as much as she wanted him.

Aiden could feel his pulse quickening. He’d always been the one to seduce in a relationship, the one to initiate.. but this time, all he could do was anticipate her next move. He could cover the little distance between their lips but he waited. Wanting to see if she would really do it.

And then as he saw her coming closer, his eyes half closed, anticipating the taste of her. Howeverm, just as her lips were about to brush his, the world tilted. Literally. And not figuratively.

With a startled squeak from Serena and a grunt from him, the bean bag beneath them gave way, flipping backward in an awkward slow-motion tumble. They both crashed to the floor, Aiden landing flat on his back with an ungraceful "oof," while Serena’s knees hit the ground with a thud as she almost bounced on his lap, nearly injuring him...

There was a moment of stunned silence. Then Aiden groaned from the floor while Serena rolled over from him, falling onto her back as she tried to process what had just happened while rubbing her nose that she’d ended up banging against his strong chest.

"Did we just lose out to a bean bag?" Serena asked slowly as she noticed Aiden’s long legs were still on the upturned bean bag... She could barely believe it. The bean bag had upended...

Aiden nodded, still unmoving," The bean bag... won this round."

For a second, they both stared at each other, the absurdity of the situation sinking in. Serena bit her lip, trying to stifle the giggle bubbling up in her chest. Aiden gave her a flat look, but the twitch of his lips betrayed him.

"Not exactly the seductive moment I had in mind," Serena muttered, her face flushing with a mix of embarrassment and amusement as she giggled.

Aiden, finally losing the battle, burst into laughter. "I don’t know, Serena. That was quite a move. You literally upended my world. And we haven’t even kissed yet."

Serena turned her head to glance at him, her laughter subsiding into soft giggles. "Yeah, well, I guess next time I’ll have to pick a more reliable piece of furniture for seduction. Bean bags are nasty."

He raised an eyebrow at her. "Next time?"

She smirked, "Oh, definitely. I don’t give up that easily. I told you.. We have a year and a half..."

Aiden flipped over her then, his body now tocuhing her again as he placed his injured hand on her stomach, and whispered," You know, the floor’s pretty steady. If you’d like to try again... I’m game."

Serena opened her mouth to respond, feeling his slight weight on her, too seductive, but before she could say anything, Aiden winced and rolled back over with another groan. "Ahh, nope... scratch that. I think I pulled my back," he muttered dramatically, using his hands to push himself up into a sitting position. He reached for his lower back with a wince, rubbing the sore spot.

Serena, trying not to laugh at his over-the-top antics, propped herself up on her elbows, her smile turning wry. "You’re getting old, Aiden Hawk. Seduction takes a toll on you these days, huh?"

He shot her a mock glare, shaking his head as he stood up, stretching a little, still moving stiffly. But then his gaze landed on her knees, and his teasing demeanor shifted slightly. "You know," he said with a sigh, noticing the slight redness on her knees, "your first attempt at seduction left us both a little bruised." He knelt down beside her, gently running a finger along her knee, "You okay?"

Serena glanced at her knees, then back at him, biting her lower lip. "I’ll survive." Just take your hands off! Damm it! Just a touch was enough to make her feel hot and bothered.

Aiden extended his hand and she placed her hand in his as he helped her up. Not wanting to meet his eyes, lest he see how much she desired him even after making a fool of herself, Serena quickly turned away," I think I’ll turn in for the night."

But, she’d barely taken a few steps when an arm came around her stomach, pulling her backward.

She looked down at the his large hand spread out on her stomach and waist and felt her breath catch. And then, he gathered her hair at the nape, and pushed them forward slowly, before placing a small kiss on the nape of her neck, making her shiver as he whispered," Next time... Serena.. Next time..."

And then he sealed that promise with another kiss on her nape, making her shudder. She’d never even known that she was so sensitive there...With a squeak, she muttered good night to Aiden and rushed out of the balcony and straight towards her room.

Unbeknownst to them, a pair of glittering malicious eyes had been observing the entire interaction with the help of binoculars. As the person watched the balcony doors close behind the couple, they brought out their cell phone and reported," No. I don’t think the marriage is fake. I am pretty sure that the marriage is real. Yes. I just saw their closeness with my own eyes! They were all over each other,couldn’t even control themselves for a moment."

"You are right. It is time to call over re-enforcements. Of course I did everything like you asked me to! It is not my fault that you lost your head and became a target instead of staying here and doing your dirty work. I am already taking a big risk by spying for you."
