CHAPTER 86: BENEATH THE NIGHT SKY

Ryan stayed under the water for a few seconds as he had dipped himself into it wetting the rest of his body including his hair and face. When he he came out of the water,mia had been startled,she was standing just a few steps from the edge.

Ryan noticed her,as she had slept for long hours,he had decided to take a swim.

"did you sleep well?" he asked still floating on the water since he hadn't bothered to move from where he is .

"I did...what time is it?" she wanted to know the time to know how long she had slept. Ryan had carefully tucked her in where she wasn't aware of her surroundings as she travelled to her dream land. He said "it should be ten by now"

"I slept that long"mia said to herself and Ryan agreed to her words but saying "you did"

Mia nodded her head taking a step towards him but then she paused and pursed her lips in thoughts when Ryan brought her attention back to him "join me" it didn't sound like he was asking but rather saying it as if that is the only option she had.

"did you bring me here to swim?" mia questioned him

"not exactly,you used most of the time sleeping and I assume you are not tired so ... join me" Ryan watched her intently making sure she was aware of his presence. Mia's hand reached for the button of her shirt, unbuttoning it one after the other,her chest slowly exposed for Ryan to see.

The bra she wore did little to no justice in hiding what was beneath completely.

"why didn't you wake me up when we arrived?" she asked trying to cure the silence around them

"you were tired ,I didn't want to disturb"he knew what it was like working with a high position,mia was capable of handling it, being the only child she had learned to do so with handling things effectively. And as much as Ryan was proud of her ,he didn't want to compromise her health just for his selfish reasons. He hadn't expected her to fall asleep so quickly but he was at peace looking at her in a deep slumber.

"didn't that ruin your plans for the evening?" mia. was now standing in her underwear feeling the air bite her skin ,she let out a small sigh. Walking towards the water with small stairs and soon her body made contact with the water and she swam towards Ryan who met her halfway "no,the day isn't over yet and my purpose for bringing you here was to spend time away from others prying eyes and from the way I see it none of us would be sleeping anytime soon" he pulled her close his hand wrapped around her exposed waist that was inside the water.

"there is also no one here to disturb us"

"are we outside the city?" she asked because just like last time ,Ryan hadn't specifically told her where they going until they got to his private jet.

"no we are not,but it's far from where we normally stay"Ryan replied to her,he felt her hand pressed against the chest

"how far?" mia asked him .

"far enough for you have a good sleep"he smiled bring his hand to to caress the side of her neck he said "apart from the mansion grandpa lives,this is where I spent my childhood with my parents and Jason,it brings me sense of peace and I wanted to share it with you"

Mia nodded her head she looked up at him meeting his gaze that continued to hold that same Intensity she learned to grow comfortable with"it's a beautiful place" she confessed,Ryan hummed "you haven't seen the entire place yet".

Ryan moved, going back into the water again. Mia stared at the surface,as it was already dark she couldn't see what was beneath but then she felt something tickle her leg and before she could react,Ryan appeared behind slowly wrapping his arms around her waist .

He breathed on the side of her neck before kissing it where he whispered against her ear "have I mentioned you look beautiful?"

"I- I would like to hear it" mia replied her voice coming out inaudible,she tried not to be aware of his their closeness but she couldn't help it and it created a sensitive feeling in her.

"you have always been beautiful and that wouldn't change in my eyes as I only see you and no one can compare"he confessed, kissing her temple.

Mia turned her head with a smile,and Ryan leaned in before capturing her lips in his, slowly sucking on her lower lip with mia responding to his movement.

An electric current surge within him and he bit her lip where she let out a moan that only drive his senses and in that moment she opened her mouth making way for his intruding tongue and made its entry. Mia kissed him back with just as much passion Ryan showed her

One of his hands that held her waist went higher before stopping below her breasts,with his fingers brushing on the wet fabric.

"you are driving me crazy"he whispered against her lips with his breathing slightly heavy he saw her open her eyes that was dilated. Mia could see it in his eyes,with his heated gaze fixed on her his urges was evident where he was trying to put it under control. Ryan didn't want to hurt her and when he tried to avoid avoid those urges,he couldn't as it felt like he was continuously being pulled towards her.

Ryan kissed her on the side if her lips ,mia opened her mouth to say something when he beat to it "it's getting cold,we should go inside " the weather was indeed cold as the night continued, the wind would only increase.

Mia turned to face him completely his hands had not moved from their position. Some pieces of her hair had settled on her shoulder with it's tip falling on her chest. Ryan reached to push them away ,mia was glad that Ryan continued to show her even though his inner monster was trying to break from it's cage and the curious side of her wanted to see this.

Mia bit her lower lip and Ryan touch it where she stopped biting it he said "don't do that...you have no idea what I want to do you right now, don't make things worse"

A faint blush appeared on her cheeks as she replied"you are holding yourself back"

"only because you are precious to me ,more than you can imagine"
