After our little moment in the kitchen, he heated up the lasagna and we ate at the island before going to bed. I knew he was tired, and I didn’t want to keep him up any longer than I already had. It was my fault he was missing work; I didn’t want him missing more sleep, too.
He shifted, then his heavy arm draped over my middle. I’d never slept in the same bed as anyone besides Bridget before, so this was…new. I didn’t hate it, though.
I scooted back into him, relishing his warmth and the safe feeling of him surrounding me. He nuzzled his face into the back of my neck and sighed. I didn’t know if he was awake or asleep anymore, and I stopped moving.
“You need to rest, baby,” he said, his voice raspy from sleep.
“I am,” I whispered. His hand gripped my hip and gently squeezed: a warning, and a reprimand. “I’m trying.”
“Close your eyes,” he said. His voice vibrated through my body, and I scooted closer to him. He grunted softly before pulling away.
I guess he doesn’t like cuddling, which was fine. I didn’t want to come off as needy, so I ignored the way him pulling away from me made me feel.
“Danica, close your eyes,” he said again, this time more sternly, and I obeyed. My eyes fluttered closed, but my mind still raced. I shifted, then rubbed my cold feet together, before shifting again. He let out a sharp sigh and squeezed my hip again.
“Why are you moving?” he mumbled, and I froze.
“Sorry.” He pulled me back into him, and I felt it, the reason why he’d pulled away. He was hard against me, heavy and thick, and I froze even more.
His hand slid from my hip to my stomach, and he toyed with the hem of the t-shirt I’d borrowed. My body coiled tightly, but I kept my eyes squeezed shut.
“Do I need to help you sleep?” he murmured against my neck. I barely nodded and felt him smile against me. “What was that?”
“Maybe,” I whispered. He pressed his hips against me, and I inhaled sharply.
“I know how to get you tired enough to sleep until noon,” he said as he ground his cock against my ass. “I can make you so worn out, you won’t want to do anything but sleep. Is that what you want?”
“Um.” I chewed on my cheek. “I—I don’t know.” I didn’t know how to tell him I was a virgin, that this was all new territory for me.
“You don’t know?” he growled as he buried his face deeper into my neck.
“Aiden,” I whispered, and he stiffened. “I have to tell you something.” His fingers were at the band of my panties, and I contemplated keeping it to myself and letting him fuck me into oblivion, but I knew it wouldn’t be fair to him, or to me. He deserved to know the truth.
“What is it, baby?” He kissed the back of my neck and goosebumps rippled across my skin.
“I’m a virgin,” I whispered the words so quietly, I wasn’t sure if he’d heard them. Judging by the way his body stiffened into a fucking board, though, I knew he’d heard.
Slowly, he pulled his hand away and rested it on my hip again. He tapped his fingers against me, then cleared his throat.
“I’m sorry,” he finally said. “I didn’t know.”
“It’s fine,” I mumbled as I pressed my heated face into the pillow. Why didn’t I just keep my mouth shut? Things would’ve been less awkward.
“Do you want to sleep in the guest room?” he asked, his voice tense. I sighed, tears pricking the back of my eyes. I pushed myself up with a shaky arm and tried to scoot out of bed, but his hand tightened on my hip. “I asked you a question, Danica. I want an honest answer.” I swallowed down my emotions and glanced at him over my shoulder.
The room was too dark, and his face was too shadowed to know what he was thinking. His hand stayed steady on my hip, and I took a deep breath as I turned away from him again.
“I’d like to stay with you,” I whispered. “If you still want me.” I braced myself for his rejection. What I didn’t brace myself for was him grabbing my shoulders and pulling me back.
He rolled on top of me, his face barely highlighted by the faint winter moonlight. “Why do you think I don't want you?” he growled, his eyes flashing in the darkness.
“I just thought–” I cut myself off. I couldn’t say it again. It had been embarrassing enough already; I couldn’t keep repeating it.
“I love that you’re a fucking virgin,” he said, his voice low. His nose brushed against mine as he brought his face closer. “Maybe it makes me a sick bastard, but I love knowing I’m the only man who will ever be inside you. I love knowing that you’ll be mine, only ever mine.” I didn’t think I was breathing. “I offered to let you sleep in the other room to not push you past your boundaries, but if you need me to push you, Danica. I will.”
“I think I need that,” I whispered. His teeth flashed as he grinned. Before I could react, he pressed his lips to mine, harder and more demanding than before. His tongue ran along my lips, and I opened for him.
“I won’t fuck you tonight,” he said against my lips as he rocked his hips into mine. “But I will soon.” A shiver coursed through my body at the dark promise in his voice, and I nodded before kissing him again.
