Her Possessive Billionaire

NO CHANGE

The weather was perfect for swimming. The rays of the sun were still gentle.

"Come on, let's swim!" without waiting for her response Khalan grabbed her wrist and kept her by his side as they walked towards the ramp.

The wind was blowing lightly, but Aliyah was still shaking.

She argued, "No! Water is still too cold." and tried to pull her wrist out off his grasp unsuccessfully. Khalan was very strong. He could carry her without much effort.

She was too close to his bare chest and felt she flushed with excitement. "This man has been disturbingly hot, even more so now! The strong muscles in his sun-kissed body were too sexy for comfort. Women would queue to have him this close. But Damn it! Why does it need to include me?" in Aliyah's thoughts. More so she was annoyed with herself.

Khalan guided her towards the slipway where she dived the day before and encouraged, "It's just perfect. You'll see!" He moved to remove Aliyah's t-shirt in haste. He inserted his arm at the hem of the shirt and pulled the t-shirt upwards. What he did render Aliyah's half body or top exposed.

She was stunned but aware enough to raise both her hands to cover the top portion of her body.

"Jerk! What do you think you're doing? D*mn you!" she fumed and muttered offensive words at Khalan.

Khalan instantly embraced her to shield her body from the eyes of whoever could see them—his lips formed a smirk when he saw the alluring beauty in front of him. Then, he maneuvered her to jump with him in the water.

"You don't have a choice, Honey; we're swimming. It's my way of dealing with your aloofness." Khalan smiled roguishly as they descended.

There was a huge splash when they hit the warm seawater. Aliyah was gasping for air when they surfaced. Then, Khalan's warm lips captured hers. He kissed her passionately, tasting her sweetness and the salty water combined. 

Aliyah was disgruntled at first, but she eventually surrendered to Khalan's feverish kisses.

Khalan grabbed her waist with one arm as he kept both of them afloat in the water with his other arm. Their naked tops pressed on each other. Aliyah's hand circled his neck, and her legs wrapped around his waist. It was nothing new to them as it was part of their dreamy and romantic escapade in the past. 

When Khalan withdrew from the kiss, he saw Aliyah's sensual look and her breathless state, while her eyes remained closed. "I still have this effect on her," Khalan scoffed in satisfaction. "I'm capitalizing on that attraction. Even if that was all I have at the moment, and I cannot let this stubborn lady stay away from me any longer," he uttered silently.

Khalan chuckled in triumph.

Aliyah's expression changed from arousal to annoyance when she heard him chuckling.. 

The look on her face clearly showed how angry she was. 

"Perv*rt!" she yelled, covering her exposed top with both hands while her legs remained wrapped around in Khalan's waist to keep her afloat. However, in her thoughts, she was also cursing herself, Even my legs know where to land. Sh*t Aliyah!" 

She was also aware that their s****l attraction was so strong and Khalan was too hard to resist.

Khalan suggested when he saw her ready for battle again, "Let's swim,"

"How can I swim in this state? Jerk!" she yelped. 

"I want to punch you, Khalan, straight in your nose, but ..how can your smiling face be so charming and sexy. Damn, you jerk!" She swallowed those words down in her own throat. If she was her old self, she would cry of shame but not now she would fight this itch till the end.

Khalan gave her another roguish laugh. He pulled her bikini top from his pocket and lifted it in the air.

Aliyah was speechless with Khalan's playfulness.

"Let me put it on you." Khalan delightedly tied the bikini top on her. He placed a kiss on her shoulder while he tied the strings of the bikini top. 

"Honey, it's easier done this way. I can make use of my energy in other ways than listening to your countless refusals. It was a useless battle I have no intention of going through." He kept those words in his head.

When the top was tied firmly on her body, Aliyah swam away from him. He followed her as they explored the area within the perimeter of the yacht. Both of them were good swimmers.

He remembered how Aliyah enjoyed swimming, and how the water relaxed her. It was primarily why he had several yachts—Khalan comforted himself by sailing even alone when he missed Aliyah. 

He watched her play in the water and the creatures she found beneath the surface when they snorkel or drive within the shallow portion even without gear. She was like a mermaid with her long hair being swayed by the seawater. 

He engaged her in simple conversations while she was more relaxed and more spontaneous. He did not wish to annoy her again.

Khalan still wondered what made Aliyah change. A change that was entirely not her. He intends to find out the cause because he has the intention to stay in her life for good.

After an hour, they decided to end their swim. Khalan followed her to the cabin where they share a shower together.

"This space is too small to hold both of us," Aliyah complained as they bumped into each other.

"I like it this way; besides, I've seen it all before.." It was his opportunity to prime her to intimacy.

Not long after, both of them were engrossed in each other. After six years, nothing had changed between them; they could still pleasure each other beyond their expectation. Every touch, every kiss, stung their inner self. They reached into their abyss.

Khalan cuddled the silent Aliyah after their hot togetherness.

He panted, "Don't you see how right we are for each other, Aliyah?" there was no tone of pride in his sexy voice. He was merely stating a fact; all he wanted was to have her remember how they melt in each other's arms.

 "Khalan, that's exactly how to do it... It's called s*x," Aliyah responded indifferently, breaking Khalan's wishful thinking.

Khalan was surprised at her outburst, "So, this was just s*x to you?" 

"The reason I agreed to your proposition was that after a month that I scratch your itch, you'll get out of my life for good. I'll just do my part." She was out of the bed in seconds, fixing her hair.

Khalan was stunned; his jaw dropped, "How can you say what we had was just an itch?" 

"Do you have any suggestions? Don't you want me to respond as I did?" Aliyah assumed distantly.

"You're impossible, Aliyah. I know you want me as much as I want you!" Khalan's annoyance was rising, although he more or less expected her to react this way.

"Tell me what you want, Khalan, and I'll do it. Don't be overly emotional" Her stony gaze met his confused eyes.

Khalan didn't say a word. He was too provoked to argue.

Aliyah went to the bath when she heard nothing from him. By the time she came back from the bathroom, Khalan was no longer in the room. Aliyah immediately checked her tablet to resume her work.  Although she was shocked at her response to the pleasures he gave her, she has to conceal her emotions by being rude. Anyway, she mastered coldness and rudeness a long time ago, she could do it over and over again.

Outside of the room, Khalan got the cigarette pack from his case. He was not a frequent smoker, but he always reserves one to relieve his tension when necessary. "I was hoping after we made love, Aliyah would c***k from her cold stance. What happened pushed her further to her icy shell. My honey, can really get on my nerves." He made a few puffs from the cigarette while mumbling those words to himself.

For two months, Khalan just watched Aliyah from a distance. He was waiting for the perfect timing to approach her. He never meant to do it this fast, but Aliyah's coldness froze him on the spot. Khalan had resolved to trap her into this arrangement so he wouldn't have to chase her every time he wished to speak with her. Courting her again wouldn't work. “I just hope by forcing myself on you, and you'll realize how much I missed you."

Aliyah's coldness was profound. It was more than hate. Aliyah wouldn't respond to him the way she did if she hated him. He was confused, but he couldn't stop pursuing her now that he started. 

"After all these years, I still love you, Aliyah. No one took your place in my heart." Khalan silently declared.
