His words sink into me like a stone in water, leaving ripples of surprise and something else in their wake.
"You were... are the most beautiful girl in the world," he continues. "But I never tried anything. Out of respect for Liam and... well, you never looked at me like that."
He pauses, a soft, rueful smile on his lips.
"I never thought I'd have a chance like this. But now that we're here... I want to seize it. I don't want to return to my life tomorrow and regret not taking this shot."
"What?" I exclaim so loudly that my voice echoes in the still night.
My mind is reeling, spinning with the force of his confession. I never saw it coming. He was always kinder to me than most, but I assumed it was because I was his best friend's sister.
The thought that he has been thinking about me, about us, for years... it fills me with a strange kind of strength, a certainty I didn't know I could feel. I never saw him that way before today, but now it seems crazy that I didn't.
"Aaron... I..." I start, but I can't find the words. I just keep looking at him, my heart pounding in my chest.
"I'm sorry," he says suddenly. "I'm sorry I never told you before. But Chloe, I don't just want tonight. I want... more. If it's possible, I want a life with you. I'll talk to Liam. I'll explain that I'm serious."
His words make my eyes widen. He wants more? He wants a life with me? My heart races even faster. Aaron seems to want to say more, but I'm done listening. I want him close. I want to feel his muscular body against mine.
Without another word, I lean in and kiss him fiercely, my hands gripping the sides of his rugged beard. This day started with a fight with my ex-boyfriend, a fight that made me feel small and worthless.
But now, I realize I spent far too much time thinking about the past when perhaps the love I was searching for was nearby, and I never realized it.
We adjust our positions, now both on our knees, our lips still pressed against each other. When I finally pull away, I'm taken aback by how Aaron towers over me. He's tall, muscular, and I still can't believe that he has wanted me for so long.
He flashes me a smile, his eyes filled with so much desire it makes my heart flutter.
"Chloe," he whispers, his voice hoarse. "I'm so close to losing control and showing you how much I want you."
I smirk at his confession, biting my lower lip in a teasing way.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" I ask, my voice barely more than a whisper.
He stares at me, mouth agape, his surprise obvious. But his surprise shifts to determination after a few moments, and he wastes no time.
Quickly, he takes his jacket off my shoulders, and his hands find my hips, gently pushing me down until I'm lying on the blanket. He lays next to me, one hand still resting on my hip while the other gently caresses my face.
His lips find my neck, each kiss sending a shiver of delight down my spine. At this moment, I am utterly his.
My body responds to his touch, warmth spreading through me as he slowly slips the straps of my dress off my shoulders, revealing my breasts.
"You're so gorgeous, Chloe," he murmurs, his gaze full of admiration.
A blush spreads across my cheeks at his words, and I squirm under his gaze, the friction of my panties against my core sending a wave of pleasure through me.
The sensation intensifies when he wraps his lips around one stiff nipple, causing a moan to escape my lips. He stops for a moment, looking into my eyes.
"Chloe," he says, his voice serious. "Are you sure about this?"
His question makes me pause, but only for a moment. My answer comes without hesitation.
"Yes," I breathe out. "Do it, Aaron. Take me. Claim me. Please."
His smile is the only response I get before he kisses me again, his hands working on unbuckling his belt. Meanwhile, I hurriedly remove my drenched panties, my legs spreading in anticipation.
This is fast, I know. It's sudden, impulsive, but it feels right. Aaron isn't a stranger. I've known him for years. I may not have looked at him with lustful eyes before, but I do now. We've changed, grown, matured. And perhaps that's what we needed to fall into each other's arms.
Aaron rises from his position, taking off his pants and then kneeling between my legs. His hand is on himself, but I can't see it. Big, small... it doesn't matter. This is Aaron. I know it's going to be just right.
