Chapter 177: Now then, this is Aria’s reward [+18].

After checking in, they went up to the room, which was much better than Noah had expected, and that worried him too.

There was a large bed, a sofa, a television, two bathrooms, and a small sitting area.

Noah set the bags down.

"Why did you ask for a room like this?"

Aria took off her wet jacket.

"It was the one available."

"I don’t believe you."

"Doesn’t matter."

Noah looked at his clothes; they were pretty soaked, same as Aria’s.

"You need to take a shower."

"Yeah, I already noticed."

Aria smiled.

"Then let’s go."

Noah raised a hand.

"You take the other bathroom."

"We can use the same one."

"No, thanks."

"We’ll save water."

"I said no."

"And time."

"No."

"I could even wash your back."

"I said no!"

Aria stepped closer.

"Noah."

"You’re not going to convince me."

"We’re just going to shower."

"You really are insistent."

"I promise I’ll behave."

Noah looked at her, and Aria smiled.

"Well... more or less."

"I’m not changing my mind."

She sighed theatrically.

"So cruel."

"That’s why there are two bathrooms."

"That ruins the experience."

"Go to the other one."

Aria crossed her arms.

"And my reward?"

"The date was the reward!"

"That was only the first part."

Noah’s eyes widened.

"First?"

Aria grabbed a towel.

"We’ll talk later."

"That doesn’t reassure me."

She went into the secondary bathroom and Noah exhaled.

’Finally.’

He stepped into the main one.

The hot water helped a lot. Noah stayed under the shower for several minutes while he tried to sort out his thoughts.

Hikari would agree to talk about becoming a magical girl thanks to Aria’s help.

The date had been strangely pleasant, even if exhausting, and now he was in a hotel with her.

Noah closed his eyes.

’Sooner or later this was going to happen.’

It wasn’t like he didn’t know how Aria felt. She had never hidden it, and he had accepted the engagement.

He had also stopped trying to pretend that all those relationships were temporary.

Noah finished showering, dried off, and luckily Aria had bought new clothes, so at least that turned out useful.

He got dressed, opened the door, and the room was dark, so Noah stopped.

"Aria?"

No answer. He looked around and saw several candles lighting the room, not many, but enough to keep a soft glow.

Noah closed his eyes.

"Of course."

He took a step and felt arms wrap around him from behind. He stayed still while Aria rested her face near his shoulder.

"You’re done."

"Yeah, I’m done."

"Good."

Noah felt her breath close to his ear as Aria spoke in a low voice.

"I’ve already prepared everything for my reward."

Noah swallowed.

"Aria."

"Yes?"

"I knew this was coming."

"Then I don’t have to explain it."

Noah turned his head a little.

"Are you sure?"

Aria stopped joking.

"Yes. Very sure."

Noah stayed silent.

"And you?"

He looked at her.

He could stop her, and Aria knew it. She wasn’t forcing him, so Noah breathed slowly.

"I’m not going to say no."

Aria’s smile returned, but this time she didn’t say anything provocative. She simply took his hand and led him to the bed.

Noah sat beside her, and for a moment neither of them spoke until Aria rested a hand on his.

"You don’t have to be nervous."

"Easy for you to say."

"I am too."

Noah looked at her.

"You?"

"A little."

That surprised him. Aria always seemed to have an answer for everything and always looked so sure of herself, but now her smile was smaller.

Noah laced his fingers with hers.

"Then we’re the same."

Aria leaned in.

"I like that."

She kissed him, and Noah kissed her back. This time there were no interruptions, just the two of them.

They had both just come out of the shower, so Aria’s skin was still warm and clean, with droplets of water sliding down her neck and disappearing between her firm, round breasts.

Her body was slender but with clear curves: narrow waist, wide hips, firm thighs, and a round, high ass.

Her pubic hair was freshly shaved, leaving her pink, closed pussy fully exposed.

Aria pushed Noah onto the bed and climbed on top of him without breaking the kiss.

She kissed him slowly at first, sliding her tongue into his mouth with deep, unhurried movements, brushing against his, sucking on it a little while her hands trailed down Noah’s chest, touching his nipples and then his abdomen.

"I want to touch you,"

she said quietly, and ran her fingertips over his body until she reached his cock, already hard.

She took it gently, stroking up and down while she kept kissing him. Noah let her.

Aria adjusted herself better, spreading her legs on either side of his hips, and rubbed her pussy against his cock, letting the head brush over her swollen lips and her clit.

She lifted herself a little, took his cock in one hand, lined it up with her entrance, and lowered herself slowly. The head pushed in, parting her lips.

Aria’s inside was hot, wet, and tight. Her walls closed around his cock as she sank down inch by inch until he was completely inside.

She stayed still for a second, breathing.

"It feels big."

She murmured before starting to move gently, rising and falling with her hips in a slow rhythm while her breasts swayed with every motion.

Noah grabbed her hips, but she took his hands and pinned them to the bed.

"No need. I’m in control."

She increased the pace a little. Every time she came down, her pussy clenched tightly around his cock and the wet sound of penetration filled the air.

Aria leaned forward, bracing her hands on Noah’s chest as she pushed her tongue into his mouth again, deeper and faster this time.

"I’m going to buy you everything you want."

She said against his lips, never stopping her movements.

"Clothes, a nice car, whatever apartment you like. You won’t have to worry about a thing."

She sat up again and started riding him harder, her hips slamming against his with more force.

Her pussy squeezed and released his cock with every rise and fall, and Aria’s breathing grew louder.

"I’m going to give you a comfortable life, everything you need. You just have to stay with me."

Now she was moving roughly, lifting almost all the way off before dropping down hard, taking him to the hilt.

The sound of skin against skin filled the room while her breasts bounced with every thrust and her clit rubbed against the base of his cock every time she came down.

"More... just like that..."

She growled as she gripped Noah’s chest hard, her nails digging a little into his skin.

She rode him faster, rougher, and the inside of her pussy clenched in waves, getting tighter and tighter.

"I’m... I’m coming..."

She came with her body tensed, her pussy spasming hard and rhythmically around his cock.

Hot fluid slid down Noah’s cock while she kept moving, more uncontrolled now, slamming her hips against his without care.

"Come inside me."

She ordered, still on top and moving hard.

Noah came seconds later. Aria felt the hot pulses filling her pussy and kept riding him until he finished.

Then she stopped, breathing heavily, still with his cock inside her, and leaned down to kiss him again, sliding her tongue into his mouth calmly.

"Everything you want."

She repeated against his mouth.

"I’ll take care of it."

She stayed on top of him a while longer, his cock softening inside her, before sliding off to the side.

Much later, Noah was lying on his back staring at the ceiling while Aria rested beside him, her head on his chest and one arm around his waist.

Noah was exhausted. Aria shifted her head slightly.

"Are you awake?"

"Yes."

"Good."

Noah raised an eyebrow.

"Why do you ask?"

"I wanted to check."

"I thought you were asleep."

"Almost."

A few seconds of silence passed, and Aria hugged him a little tighter.

"Do you regret it?"

Noah thought before answering.

"No."

Aria smiled.

"That’s good."

"But tomorrow I’m going to regret other things."

"Like what?"

Noah pointed at the bags from the bed.

"Explaining those."

Aria started laughing.

"Just say they’re gifts and leave it at that."

"From my fiancée."

"Exactly."

"My moms are going to want to know everything."

"Then tell them."

"I’m not telling them what we did."

"But they should know their son is already an adult."

"I already told you no."

"And Ava will probably be happy."

"Definitely not."

Aria kept laughing. Noah sighed and then rested a hand on her back, so Aria settled down.

"By the way."

Noah closed his eyes.

"What?"

"I’m still serious about the house."

"I know."

"I want you to see it."

"Someday."

"Soon?"

"Someday."

Aria lifted her head.

"Then soon."

Noah opened one eye.

"Is this also part of your reward?"

"It could be."

"Don’t push it."

Aria smiled and rested her head on him again.

"Alright."

Little by little the conversation faded while the rain kept falling outside, and Noah felt his eyes starting to close.

Aria was almost asleep, but before drifting off she spoke softly.

"Good night, my love."

Noah sighed.

"Good night, Aria."

She smiled, and a few minutes later both of them fell asleep in each other’s arms.

Noah had started the day trying to figure out how to finish recruiting Hikari and ended up spending the night in a hotel with Aria.

At this point, he no longer knew why he kept being surprised when his plans turned out completely different.
