The two pulled back from the kiss, Nesryn buried her flushed face on his broad chest as Azriel pulled her more into him possessively. He placed a kiss on her forehead "Allow me to court you properly my lady" he whispered to her ear, sending shivers to her spine.
She lifted her head and stared at him "Don't break my heart Mr. Playboy" she teasingly said, a smirk on her face to hide her heated up body.
"Never my love" he whispered again, Nesryn squirmed on his lap and she pulled away from him and walked back to her seat.
Azriel whined and pouted at the loss of contact and she just giggled. The two talked under the dark, cloudless sky filled with stars that night.
In the end, Azriel walked her back to her room, leaning in and giving her a peck on the forehead "goodnight my love" he whispered to her, tucking a stray her behind her ear.
He watched as her cheeks became red, Nesryn whispered her goodnight before going inside her room. The moment her door closed, her back on the door and slowly slid down to the floor, her hands clutched on her chest, a huge smile etched on her face as she tried to calm her heart down.
It took her a couple of minutes to finally slow her heartbeat down. Letting out a breath, she stood up, she stripped out of her clothes and hopped into the bath for a late night shower.
With warm water trailing down her model like body, as her back touched the tiled bathroom wall.
She stayed inside the bathroom for more than an hour, her eyes unfocused as she stared out of nowhere, the lukewarm water raining down on her body as she pulled her legs closer to her chest as her mind was filled with unanswered thoughts.
On the other hand, inside a room next to hers lay Azriel all sprawled out on his bed, eyes focused on the ceiling of his room, also deep in thought. He let out a yell as he ran his hand on his hair.
Azriel was the first to wake up the next morning, he went out of his room balcony and stared at the rising sun on the horizon. A soft sigh escaped his lips as he played with his hair, leaning over the railings and staring at the morning sky.
He stood there for 2 hours straight, procrastinating. A knock on his bedroom door pulled him out of his trance. He slowly made his way to the door, opening it after seeing Nesryn on the peephole. "Good morning!" a huge beaming smile etched it's way on his handsome face.
Nesryn gave him a nod in return "good morning sir, the first team building activity will happen in 20 minutes" her secretary persona immediately snapped back into place. No matter what happens between the two of them, she is his secretary, first and foremost.
Azriel's beaming smile slightly faltered upon hearing her tone, he widened the gap of the door and walked back inside his room, Nesryn immediately followed suit. She handed him a towel before ushering him to the bathroom, leaving her all alone in his room.
She immediately picked out suitable clothes for him. After much debate with herself, she decided on casual clothes for the day. A pair of denim, white long-sleeved, button up shirt. She laid down the clothes on his bed.
Nesryn let out a small chuckle and started tidying up her room. One thing Nesryn hates the most is a messy workplace, Azriel isn't exactly a messy man but he tends to leave things in the most unusual places.
His reading glasses would sometimes be left inside the bathroom for no apparent reason.
With a small nod of approval, she looked around his tidied up room, satisfied with her work. On that exact moment, the bathroom door opened, revealing Azriel, with his towel hanging around his torso. She immediately turned around and let him dress privately.
"I am done" he said, Nesryn turned around and a shriek left her lips as she quickly turned her back unto him once again. "Azriel!" she yelled and the naked man in the room kept laughing.
Nesryn let out a sigh and made her way to the door "I'll be waiting for you outside sir" shem muttered, before slamming the door after her.
This stopped Azriel from laughing, realizing he might have made a big mistake. He quickly put on the clothes laid out by Nesryn, completing the look with a brown leather belt and brown leather shoes.
He left the room after getting his phone, wallet and card key. He faced Nesryn, his long hair still a mess, Azriel let out a sheepish smile, running an embarrassed hand at his nape.
"I am sorry for teasing you like that Nesryn" she nodded her head in acknowledgement but said no words.
She took a hair tie and comb from her bag before walking behind him and fixing his hair to his usual low ponytail, before flinging it over his shoulders. Nesryn led him to the resort grounds where all of the employees were waiting, dressed in sports gear.
She made her way in front where her co-planners stood.
Everyone had their eyes glued to the two as they walked together, Nesryn leading their boss to a shaded spot where 4 of his bodyguards stood straight.
Azriel protested, saying he doesn't need guards in a resort but Nesryn just sent him a look and he immediately shut his mouth and just slumped on the chair.
Nesryn stood silently as the head organizer announced the first activity of the day.
"Beach Volleyball, form a group consisting of 7 members each, we have 3 volleyball courts at the moment, please choose your opponent and get your ball. Once everyone is settled, please start the game, communication is the key in this challenge.
The team that wins this challenge will receive a very special gift from the boss" Everyone turned their heads to look at Azriel, a smile etched on his face as he placed a hand on the towering gift beside him, covered with a huge piece of cloth.
Each employee trailed their eyes on the prize and immediately formed teams and stood inside the court, while the other teams stood at the side, waiting for their turn. The usual long match to 25 is shortened to only 10 points for a faster match.
In the end, the team formed by the Marketing Department won the first challenge, Nesryn led them towards Azriel spot and slowly unveiled the prize. Revealing 7 boxes of brand new iPhone.
Others watched with a small pout on their faces as they each received the iPad.
"Now, now, don't get discouraged, we still have a lot of prizes to give. "The second challenge of the day is a team relay. Please turn your attention to the water, there are two buoys out there and 2 of the organizer committee.
4 of your group members would be waiting beside that buoy and the 3 left would be swimming towards them from the shore.
Rescue your teammates one by one and swim back to shore, shout your department name if you completed the task. Remember there will be organizers watching this challenge and would know if you guys use underhanded tricks to win.
With that said PR department and Human Resource Department will be the first one to compete."
Each department chose their best swimmers and stood in the starting position, the chosen 4 of each team were told to swim to the buoy where an organizer waited. Azriel called Nesryn, who quickly made her way back to his side.
"Have the resort prepare for a big lunch" he instructed and she immediately pulled out her phone and called the resort's restaurant.
Azriel watched as the game started, flinging his attention between his employees and Nesryn. He called forth a guard and whispered an order, he immediately nodded and walked away.
Nesryn walked back to his side, a smile etched on her face. "The resort said they are already preparing for a hearty lunch"
He nodded and handed her an iced drink "Drink, It's hot today and stay under the shade as much as possible, I don't want something to happen to you" he said, a soft smile on his face.
A blush appeared on her face and slowly reached in for the glass and took a sip.
Azriel returned his focus on the competition being held and so did Nesryn. 45 minutes later a yell distracted the two from their own train of thoughts.
"Research and Development!!" Everyone clapped at the team's victory while the winners cheered amongst themselves.
After letting the team celebrate, Nesryn left her drink on the table before walking over to them and escorting back to Azriel's side. She pulled the other cloth from another pile of prizes, revealing white boxes of brand new iPad.
She handed it to each and everyone, a huge, beaming smile plastered on her face.
Azriel stared at her beautiful space, happiness clearly evident in his eyes. Only a few people noticed this but decided to ignore it. The organizers dismissed the teams for the mean time and instructed them to prepare for lunch.
Nesryn and Azriel made their way back to the hotel, Azriel pulled her to his room and shut the door behind them. She looked at him curiously and he moved closer, reaching in and taking her hand in his. He slowly lifted her hand and placed a light kiss on her knuckles "Si-"
"Call me Azriel, I am not your boss right now but a suitor" he whispered, staring at her with his hazel eyes filled with love. A silent gasp passed her lips as she drowned in his eyes. "Let me take you out tonight, dress casually" he whispered before kissing her forehead.
Nesryn closed her eyes savoring the feeling of having Azriel close to her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and just held her close to him, he breathed in her intoxicating scent of cinnamon and butter.
"Why are you so beautiful my love'" he whispered under his breath, Nesryn heard his words but was about to protest when he suddenly claimed her lips with his, effectively shutting her up.
The kiss lasted for two minutes but the two panted heavily. He kept his hold on her and just let their forehead touch, no words were said between the two but it seems like they understood what the other was feeling.
Nesryn hesitantly wrapped her arms around his torso and completely relaxed when he started drawing small circles on her back, to ease her tensed muscle. They stayed like that for God knows how long. Content in each other's arm.
A knock on the door disturbed the peaceful silence "Who is it?" Azriel growled out, Nesryn let out a small smile but just ran her hand on his back to calm him down.
"Um..sir? Lunch is already served at the restaurant and we can't start without you" the guard on the other side of the door said.
Nesryn let him go but he whined "You are needed there sir, go and face your employees" she whispered to him and he continued to whine.
"But I don't want, I just want to spend the whole day with you" Nesryn looked at him a sighed, stood on her tips toes and placed a quick peck on his lips, removing his arms around her.
"Let's go Mr. CEO"
