The Beginning

Chapter Twenty-Seven

"It's beautiful", Aria gasped as we stood in the somewhat similar place we stood on our first honeymoon.

"Yeah, the view doesn't change much", I joked laughing.

Aria looked at me and laughed softly before walking over to me and wrapping her arms around my neck.

"Thank you", she said before planting her lips on mine.

I kissed her slowly running my fingertips down her arms and back. A soft giggle escaped her lips, she pulled back.

"We should go swimming.", she said looking towards the water. I shook my head taking her hand into mine and pulling her towards the bed.

"Swimming can wait", I smirked. I pulled her towards me to where I was cradling her. I kissed her lips softly before kissing down her jawline and neck. Aria bit her lip before I kissed her again and nibbled on her bottom lip.

My hands trailed up her back until I grabbed a fist full of hair and gently tugged back exposing Aria's neck. I bit it playfully causing Aria to giggle before I left wet kisses along her neck. Aria's breathing became heavy and moans left her mouth.

"You're beautiful", I mumbled.

Aria looked at me before pushing me back on the bed and kissing me. My hands moved down to her butt giving it a playful smack.

"You have a perfect butt, did you know that?", I asked.

Aria laughed before shaking her head. "No, but I do now."

It wasn't long until all of our clothes were scattered on the floor and we were wrestling underneath the sheets. Aria dug her nails in my back and gripped the bedsheets as she whimpered and moaned.

Once we climaxed we laid there trying to catch our breath. I wrapped my arms around her before kissing her head.

"You okay?", I asked.

Aria nodded before resting her head on my chest. She traced it with her fingertips, she seemed concentrated on something like she was thinking real hard.

"What's on your mind?", I asked playing with her hair.

"Us", she whispered.

We locked eyes, her gaze was soft and she looked absolutely gorgeous. I brushed my thumb against her cheek.

"Where will we be in five years? Ten?", she asked.

I honestly didn't know where we would be. I don't think you ever really know where you will be.

"I don't know but I know where I want to be.", I told her.

She waited for my answer.

"I want to be married to you with a little one running around and the other one still baking in the oven. I want to be happy with you and the little family we will have. Where I get to come home every night on a good or bad day either way it becomes better because I get to see you. That's where I want to be.", I smiled.

Aria took a deep breath and I quickly wiped the tears from her eyes. She looked at me and smiled softly.

"I want to be there to", she smiled.

I leaned down and kissed her. "Come on, let's go swimming."

•••

"That was fun.", I smiled as I sat on top of the deck.

Aria nodded as she leaned against me, the sun hit us both. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her head.

"Aria.", I said.

"Yeah?", she asked.

I turned to look at her, I held her hands in mine and looked into her eyes. She had a soft smile on her face, she was absolutely beautiful.

"I love you."
