Putting Magic Back Into the Cruise
Draco found himself on the main deck of the vast cruise ship staring out into the sparkling blue waters. He found the view beautiful despite the disastrous honeymoon he and Astoria experienced from the unfortunate encounters with his parents who mistakenly booked the same cruise as them.
They were heading back for England now, stopping back at the locations they first docked at on the way to Greece for the return trip. Draco hoped it would be a last-ditch effort to salvage and enjoy the remaining holiday with the love of his life and not spot his parents in the crowd.
Astoria joined him, watching the setting sun and listening to the soft waves slosh below.
"I spoke to your parents," she said, breaking the silence. "They promised to stay on the ship for the return trip."
"I doubt they will," Draco muttered, wrapping an arm around her waist to pull her close. "This cruise was supposed to be for us. It's already tarnished with their presence."
"Mmm…"
The crowds seemed to dwindle since it was nearing dinner time, but it made the deck more comfortable that way for her to unleash her final plan.
Astoria turned to look in his eyes then, cupping his face and smiling coyly. "I hope it hasn't completely ruined the mood."
The underlying tone had Draco raise a brow. The thought of knowing his own parents were in the suite cabin right next to theirs was unsettling, but the playful look dancing in Astoria's eyes stirred something in his chest.
He let out a nervous laugh then. "You don't mean…"
She kissed him then, cutting him off entirely, and pressed herself against him for added measure. Clearly the daring excitement was Astoria's forte, and who was he to deny her of her wishes?
Astoria pulled away just enough to gaze up at him through her lashes. "Who said we couldn't make them uncomfortable as well?"
He smirked at her, knowing that she intended to be just as daring with her passion as he knew she could be.
Astoria knew how to fight dirty, and he loved her even more for it.
