Anthony's POV:

I woke up to see my angel in my arms. Heavens, Aria is a hard woman. I'm glad she doesn't find discomfort with me anymore.

But I'm scared of one thing. When we head back to the palace, I'm very sure Aria would pretend like nothing happened. I don't want that, I won't like that.

I gently cupped her face and caressed her cheeks with my thumb. Aria is very woman. I want her in many ways, for she's mine and only mine.

I got up heading to the bathroom, I felt bad leaving her on the bed alone. I just had to get up. Once I did the usual in the bathroom, I left the tent to see Clara and Maya setting a camp fire.

Maya and Clara quickly wave at me and I replied with a smile.

"Good morning grandson". Grandma greeted.

"Good morning to you too, granny".

"You greeted me?".

"Yes, any problem?". I asked confused with her amused question.

"Nop, I want you and Kiran to get more fire wood for nightlight". Granny said and walked off.

Kiran approached me and smiled, this brother of mine is cute. We started walking into the bushes then Kiran greeted.

''Good morning Anthony".

"Same to you dear, how are you?".

"Did you just call me dear?". He asked.

"Yes, what's it?".

"Anthony you're changing". He said surprised and happy.

"I'm changing?". I muttered to myself but was loud enough for Kiran to hear.

"Yes, Aria is changing you". His reply almost made me stumble.

Aria is changing me? Is that a good thing?

"What do you mean?"

"This is a good thing".

"It is?".

"Of course". He replied smiling to himself.

After a minute of silence he spoke up.

"You like Aria don't you?".

His question almost made me choke on my saliva.

"What makes you say so?".

"Brother, It's obvious. The way you smile at her, the way you look at her also the way you reply her in a gentle way shows you like her, don't you?".

He might just be 7 years but his maturity is of a 15 years old child.

"Yes I do like Her very much".

"I'm glad to hear that brother. Don't you ever hurt her, don't you try to let her go. If you let her go she might never come back. Brother this is my little request, I also like Aria, I like when she smiles. Please make her happy, make her yours. She's like a sister to me, I'm selfish to say I also want her by side. Don't you ever let her go, please". He said as I stared at him surprised.

I'm glad he likes Aria, I'm glad he knows that I like her and he is in support of it.

"Your wish is my command". I replied with a grin shuffling his hair.

We quickly fetched the fire woods and went back to the camping area.

We arrived and I saw my Aria fanning the camp fire, just look at her being hardworking. I walked up to her and kissed her forehead as my body blocked any one from seeing so.

She looked at me perplexed.

"Why did you do that? Someone saw us".

"Forget it honey, won't you greet me?".

She smiled and replied.

"Good morning your highness".

"I won't answer that". I said dragging her little nose which made her turn pink.

I love the feeling that I have an effect on my woman.

"Good morning Anthony". She greeted.

"How was your night?".

"Nice... ". She said sweetly.

"Anthony". Mum called my name seriously.

Here she comes with her drama.

"Go help your father". She said staring at Aria sternly.

"Good morning mother". I greeted and she smiled.
"Stop staring at Aria in that manner". I said once more as mother smile dropped then I walked off to go meet father.

I saw father catching fishes near a small spring water and I joined him.

"Good morning father".

Wait lately I've bed greeting people this morning, what's happening to me?

"Same to you dear, I hope you enjoyed your night". He asked smiling mischievously.

"Arh... Yeah".

Father caught two fishes putting it into a bucket of water.

"Son... Anytime I bring up this topic, you get annoyed but I'll give you time to choose a wife". He said staring at me. He wasn't pressurising me this time.

I nodded my head in answer.

"Anthony, I seriously need a heir". Father said genuinely.

"Don't worry father, you'll get a heir. Instead a beautiful one at that because my wife to be is fucking beautiful". I replied grinning.

"I can't wait to meet her then".

Father said as we kept on fishing and talking about random things. Father is such a nice and kind man, I never got the chance to understand that. Thanks Aria.

We were done catching 2 buckets of fishes and head back to the camping area to see Aria and her friends cooking something on the fire.

I walked up to them. Noticing my presence Aria smiled. Those smiles of hers turns me on.

"So what are the ladies preparing". I asked opening the pot to see them cooking stew as they kept on shouting. "Be careful, be careful".

"Why are you three shouting?".

"Wasn't the pot cover too hot?". Clara asked with raised eyebrows.

"No it wasn't".

"You see this is what I call superman's power". Maya commented as Aria giggled.

I brought the bucket of fishes to them, they smiled and left to prepare it.

Noon came soon as we all ate our meal. I just couldn't get my eyes off Aria and her lips. I want to kissed her again and this time I'll press her boobs against my chest, feeling every part of her. As I kiss her I'll make sure I suck that lower lips of hers.

"Anthony". Mrs. Margaret called bringing me out of my trance.

And then I realized that I've been staring at Aria all this while.

"Anthony love, we know she's beautiful but I'll love you to listen to me then you can go back to your dirty thoughts". Grandma said nonchalantly as mum stared at her confused.

This woman.

"Okay... Today is our last day here, at least we've reconcile and get to know each. So we will be heading back to the palace tomorrow". Grandma said as Clara, Maya and Kiran grumbled.

I too wasn't happy with it either. I want to spend more time with Aria here, just the two of us. She's be distracted in that palace and won't have my time anymore. Just the thought of it made me annoyed.

"Grandma can't we stay a little longer?". I asked rigidly and she shook her head which signifies negative.

We ate our food silently and gradually they left for their tents.

"Thanks Aria, the meal was nice". Kiran appreciated and left Aria and I.

Aria just kept raising her well carved eyebrows at me. I find that cute but scary, she hasn't used such expression on me.

"What...?". I asked innocently.

"I'm expecting an appreciation".

"Oh that, I appreciate".

"I won't accept that". She said sternly.

Okay that's another new expression.

"What do you want me to say darling".

"A thank you".

"Come on is that why you're staring at like that?". I asked but she didn't say a word.

"Alright... Thank you my darling for preparing such a delicious meal". I said getting up form my sitting position, pecked those cute cheeks of hers and she blushes.

"You didn't need to say all that".

"Well what can I say, I'm your Anthony, right?".

And nodded her head.

"Come with me Aria". I said dragging her up as we left the camp site.

"Where to Anthony?".

"Just come with me".

When we were far away from the camp site I released her hand and sighed.

"I just want it to two of us alone without any distractions". I said staring at her.

"Okay". She answered not asking any question.

She's giving me a chance, I can feel it.

"What is your favorite color?". She asked.

"Orange".

"Same here". She smiled and I smiled too.

I keep melting for her every single hour.

"I like your smile". She complimented turning pink.

She likes something about me. I'm glad to hear so.

"I like your smile too Aria, Instead everything about you darling". I said honestly and intertwine our fingers together.

The waterfall was now at our sight, I untied my shirt and jumped in as I waited for my Aria to do same but she kept smiling at me.

"Aria join me".

"No don't worry about it, I'm fine here".

"Aria join in now".

I warned playfully and she quickly removed her flat shoes walking into the water gently.

"Anthony the water is too cold". She complained and shivered.

"Come on Aria don't behave like a baby, once you're in it won't be cold anymore".

But she's still finding it hard to enter into the water. I walked up to her and dragged her into the water unexpectedly which made her scream.

"Hey! You would have done that gently". She pouted splashing water on my face.

"Nah, you were too hesitant". I said splashing her water on her face.

"Don't splash water on my face".

She warned splashing water on my face and I chuckled.

"But you started it first". I splashed.

"Hello don't forget you dragged me into this water, so you started it first". She splashed.

"That's exactly how I want it". I replied cockily splashing water on her face.

In second it turned to our little water fight and I loved every part of it. Behind a shy and a stubborn aria she was fun to be with. I grabbed her hand pulling her into me for we were too wet. I wrapped my hands around her slender waist possessively.

I immediately crashed my lips with hers and kissed her hungrily and passionately. Pouring all my feelings on the kiss. I so much wanted to taste her mouth but she wouldn't let me, I bit her lower lips receiving a sweet moan from her and slide into her mouth, tasting every part of it.

She's mine and mine alone.

She gently broke the kiss because she was out of breath and stared at me with open eyes.

"Aria I'm falling for you deeply". I confessed and hugged her inhaling her sweet lavender scent.

Every second she's in my mind, I can't get her off my stupid mind. If falling for you isn't wrong. I'll keep falling in love with you.
