1. Faded Away

The desperate gaze from his unsettling eyes, made her stomach twist in knots. His rough fingers brushing on her bare breath making her breathless with each passing second.

Leaning closer, his lips left ministration over her jaw line making her throw her head back in pleasure. The chilly atmosphere that made her shiver now served as the much needed ignition to fuel the fire within their souls.

His lips turned into a huge grin as he observed how her bare chest kept falling back and forth in indescribable pleasure, her slender pair of arms raking all over him.

As the pad of his thumb settle at her lower lip, gently pulling it down. The touch of his calloused fingers against her soft skin made her quiver. He found the best intoxication as his lips met the pair of her rosy ones.

Their chests collided with one another as their lips synched in rhythm, after what felt like eternity she fell back trying to catch her breath.

The sensuous play of his rough fingers trailing down her bare navel has not just made her ecstatic but also served as a reminder. Within a second, her eyes were jolted open and her hand was quick to grab hold of hid hand, which was venturing into the dangerous areas of south.

Stunned by the unexpected denial from her, he upped his lashes and looked up to her with a questioning gaze.

"Am I doing it the wrong way Babe?" he winked.

"Not the wrong way, but the wrong thing. Do you know what the time is?"

"Meh.. who'd care about time on a holiday" he shrugged trailing the back of his hand over her belly.

"I will" she stressed.

"And I don't want that right now" he trailed his fingers lightly inching her breast.

"Ahh… no.. not now" she struggled to speak every word.

"Auby… please" that was it, he drew his hands back in an instant, he's love making love to her in a million ways but only with her consent, all these years he never touched her without her liking.

"So what's it?" he asked scooping her into his arms.

"Ohho Auby, we are supposed to go skiing" rushed Nadia.

"Not now" he added.

"What do you mean by not now? Ain't this your fantasy to go night skiing and made me take up classes to ace it? And when we got the time allotted after months of the wait as snowfall turned a little kind, all you're doing is to get inside me" she tried pushing him away, trying to get out of the bed.

"Ohh Babe, you have no idea what all could I trade to keep making love to you" he winked, making her turn a shade of red.

"Shameless" she playfully hit his arm.

"What shameless? And even if it is shameless, why can't I be? It's my legally wedded wife I'm being shameless with" Aubrey fought his stance.

"Yeah yeah Auby only you in the world could defend something ridiculous like this, now let me go; so that I can at least have a hot water bath and get myself rejuvenated for the skiing, though I'm pretty sure that with all the stuff we have done for past few hours, I won't be able to manage" Nadia got up grabbing the towel, wrapping it around her body.

"You don't need to push yourself Babe, see this is all for you" he winked trying to pull her.

"Auby, let me remind you for one last time that after months f wait you finally got some time from your busy schedule to take a vacation and eve in that in the continuous snowfall we got this one gracious day and I don't want us to miss this" she pulled him out of the be.

"And I don't want to miss you" his arms embracing her from back.

"You'll never, we have all this life with us" she kissed his temple.

Her gingerly eyes sparkled as her laughter echoed with his kisses tickling her, the smile roared I his ears. A wide smile appeared on his lips only until the glass in his hand felon the floor with a thud, grabbing attention of people around.

As he opened his eyes to face the unbearable reality, he couldn't accept how the beautiful moments he shared has now just turned a memory… and slowly into a nightmare.

"Nadiaaa…." His scream was louder than the music being played at the pub.

The staff working there immediately rushed to his side, trying to control the situations as the complaints started to rise. But none could speak a word against him as he was one of the largest investors there.

"Sir, would you like to change the place? We can take you there" one from the helper staff added as politely as he could.

"Three years back" Aubrey spoke in his sober state.

"Sir?" he asked unsure.

"I want you to take me back, turn the fucking clock and take me back to three years" Aubrey screamed kicking the glass table with his foot, which resulted in the glass breaking into pieces.

The scene created by Aubrey soon got backlashing from all and the managers quickly rushed to his side.

"Mr.Larson, please let me take you to your suite" Luke, the manager tried to get hold of him.

"Who are you to order me? I can drink anywhere, anytime, as much as I want. I own this fucking place" screamed Aubrey, which was neither new to the manager nor to the staff working over there, but the mess being created by him has recently turned one of the factors for the exclusive pub receiving negative review hitting on the revenues.

Other partners who held partnership in the Pub couldn't take the behavior of Aubrey anymore. However, they're left with no option as even after severe backlash and negative talk on him, Aubrey Samuel Larsen is still one of the most influential business man and one of the biggest contributors to the country's economy.
