Stephan continued kissing me. No one bothers to pull away and stop this. I was actually even kissing him back and his hands are both on my hips, pressing me to him more while I had my arms around his neck. The kiss was pure bliss and I don't know where my strength had gone to and just let him do this to me.

But then I was the one who ended it first.

We were both out of air as our foreheads touched from the kiss.

"What was that for?" I asked, awkwardly biting my lower lip and pulled away.

Stephan didn't reply. His eyes were closed then opened then. "I clearly do not know what is happening to me anymore, Ariana. You're driving me insane that I don't know how." He confessed, huskily.

My cheeks quickly heated once he said that. "Y-you...what?"

"I fucking promised myself not to kiss you again but damn...I just can't help myself." He cursed, turning away from me while I just stood there, unmoving in my spot. The water just goes up to my chest and it is not helping our situation because it's making me shiver.

"Do you hate me?" I asked, out of the blue. Darn it! What am I asking?! I want to drown myself for asking that.

Stephan stared at me seriously and sigh "Of course not, Doll. "

"Then why do you look so in pain every time you try to kiss me?" The salty water is giving me courage eh. I don't know why I'm asking these kinds of things.

Stephan stared at me for seconds before he could have the guts to talk or answer me. He inhaled deeply "Because I feel...I.feel something unfamiliar every time I kiss you,Doll. And I fucking can't name what is this feeling."

I blinked a couple of times before it totally sinked in my mind. "Should I be happy for that?"

Stephan shrugged his shoulders and messed his hair "Fuck! What is happening to me!" He exclaimed. "You should start pushing me away, Doll. Because I might not control myself and just kiss you if you keep on looking at me like that." He diverted his gaze.

"Looking like what?" I teased. I want his kisses, honestly.

"Looking like that."

"But I'm not doing anything!" I replied, confusedly.

"That's the point! You're not doing anything but you are tempting me." He groaned, washing his face with his hands. "There is this something about you this past few days that really made so alive, Doll. And I don't fucking care what it is. I know I have to stop this as soon as possible." He said then started walking farther.

"You're walking out again." I mumbled but I didn't know he would hear it.

"I'm just saving you from myself, Ariana. I don't want to do something to you that we will both regret."

"Why do you need to save me from you, Stephan? Why? Do you want my body? Is that it? Is that the only thing you want?" I don't know where my courage has been coming but I just let them all out.

Stephan slowly looks at me and continued rubbing the back of his head then cursed silently. "Of course not, doll. I just feel like you've been changing me these past few days and you're just effortlessly doing it without any notice. We are both in this island because of our parents wishes...that's why I have to stop myself before it's too late. I'm still sticking to my plan, Ariana. I'm sorry. I won't go falling for you because I really don't want anything that is gonna be involved to my parents. I'm sorry." He said, seriously and straighly without a slight of hesitation.

I  was lost for words.

It hurts, yah know.

Who does he think he is? He just can't let me alone like this and if this continues, then he is just gonna keep on ignoring me.

"Stephan, I know I'm asking too much but please...until we get out of this island" I stopped for a second before continuing. "Show me the real you"

"What?" He looked slightly confused...well, even I am confused. I don't know if I am still in the right mind to tell this.

"You know, show me what you really feel. If you want to kiss me, then do it. If you want to shout at me then do so. If you want to ignore me then go! Just be sure that it's real ! Not like this, you freaking kiss me then suddenly you will regret it! I just want you to be real to me. That's all that I'm asking. After this island thing, let's forget everything. Let's me a complete stranger to each other once this is over." I really don't know where this courage is coming from. I have never ever voice out a request especially to a man before but this man is just leaving no choice.

I want us to end whatever this relationship is in good terms. Even if we can't see each other anymore after this.

I was waiting for Stephan to say something but he just stayed silent in font of me and his was very unreadable. "Stephan?"

"Fuck" he cursed silently, turning away. "You didn't know how hot you are when you talk like that"

What the f???

Is Stephan blushing? He is! His face is so red and he is glancing away from me so I can't see his face!

Then he finally faced me. He looked at me then a surprisingly genuine smile appeared in his face. This is the first time he smiled at me like that.

"Okay then. You win, Doll." He said, as he raised his hand and he combed it through my slightly wet hair "If that's the case," he slowly came closer to me, his face just inches away from me when he whispered right on my ear and I can feel his hot breath and the warmth of his body  "Then I badly want to kiss you right now and drag you in our room and make passionate love with you where you will forgot how to walk when you wake up. "

Holy fuck

I just cursed.

Did I just hear right?

Stephan pulled away with a smirk on his face. He crossed his arms, showing off those defined biceps and abs of his "So, are you ready to play my games, doll?"

I am still unable to reply. I still can't recover to what he said but deep inside, I felt an incredible chill that I just want to explore what it is.

"Oh, Stephan. It should be you who should be ready for my little games " I also gave him a sexy and flirty grin. "Mr. Draco"

Stephan's eyes darken and his smile disappeared and darn he is just so hot.

"I am born ready, baby" he winked at me then turn away, as he gets out of the ocean.
Oh dear God, did I choose right on this one?
