Her eyes flew open, and he saw the flash of worry in them.“Two weeks?Why so long?”
“It’s not my choice, believe me.And if I could take you with me, I would.I didn’t think you could leave the café that long, though.”He stopped to look at her, raising his eyebrows in question.She shook her head side to side to indicate no.
“This client has several business lines, and they are coordinating an entire reengineering of their company.So, over these two weeks, I’ll meet with the department executives to learn their marketing plans and set up reviews of the models who meet their specific needs.It really is a big deal for my company—both the money and our reputation in the industry,” Aaron explained.
Christa was silent a little too long for Aaron’s comfort.
“Talk to me, babe,” he urged.
She blew out her breath in frustration.“It’s me, Aaron—it’s just my…insecurity.”She waited another minute longer before shrugging her shoulders.“I guess I’m just afraid you’ll find someone better than me.”
Aaron shook his head.“There is no one better than you, sweetheart.”
She gave him a small smile.“Will you be back on the weekends?”
“I will do my best to be,” Aaron promised.
“Well, we have a week before you go, right?”
“Right,” Aaron said with a smile.
“Then let’s make the most of it,” Christa cooed.
Aaron’s eyes widened for a split second before narrowing suspiciously at her statement.Of coursehe wanted to make the most of it, but he wasn’t convinced that she was ready for that part of their relationship yet.
“What do you propose?”he asked seductively, giving her all the control and letting her take whatever she wanted.
Christa’s tongue darted out nervously to wet her lips as she slowly licked them before she pulled her bottom lip in between her teeth.She was completely unaware that her unassuming actions were heating Aaron beyond measure.When she looked up into his eyes, she gasped at the unbidden longing she saw in them.
A sudden boldness took root as Christa sat up, leaned toward him, and crawled into his lap, straddling him so that they were face-to-face.He watched her with a curious and amused expression, still giving her full control to do as she pleased.She held his face in her dainty hands, leaned in, and softly brushed her lips against his.He eagerly reciprocated the kiss, spurring her on as she moved her body closer to his.
She lightly sucked his bottom lip into her mouth, skimming it with her tongue before releasing it and slowly pushing her tongue into his mouth.His hands moved to her hair as their kiss deepened, their tongues performing an erotic and sensual dance, moving and gliding across the other.
She moved to his jawline, placing kisses while her hands stroked his chest through his shirt.She moved back, giving herself room to reach more of him as her fingers unbuttoned his shirt one at a time.His growl vibrated through her core when her hands found his bare skin underneath.
When she pulled back and looked directly into his eyes, a moment of confusion flashed across his face as she moved off his lap and onto the floor in front of him.It was quickly replaced by reverence and need when her fingers moved to unbutton his pants.
Wordlessly, she motioned for him to stand, and he complied with only a moment of hesitation.As his pants fell to the floor, she stroked the length of his already hard shaft through his boxer briefs.She slowly, tortuously, and purposely peeled them off him, freeing his erection in the best possible position directly in front of her.
She lifted her eyes, watching Aaron through her lashes, as she ran her tongue around his girth before lapping up the clear bead balanced on the tip.The primal groans emanating from Aaron conveyed all she needed to know and gave her all the confidence she needed to continue.
His head fell back as his fingers wound through her hair.She took him into her mouth with her warmth and wetness instantly enveloping him.Her tongue felt like the finest silk, swirling and circling his girth, before flattening and taking him deeper.
His fingers held fast to her head, gripping and fisting her hair as she worked him faster and faster with her mouth and her hand.Relaxing the muscles in the very back of her throat, she held him deep in her mouth as she moaned and allowed the sensations to vibrate through him.
“Fuck, baby, you’re killing me.Damn, you feel so good,” he huffed out, quickly losing his self-control.“If you don’t stop, I’m going to—”
She could tell he was close, feeling every muscle in his beautiful body tense and hearing the edge of his voice, she worked him harder.Aaron lowered his face, looking down at her as she looked up at him with her determined expression, and he was completely undone.His knees nearly buckled under him as he watched her take his very last drop.The act itself was so intimate and personal that he instantly felt even more protective and possessive of her.
He gently stroked her hair as she pulled back from him.She could almost see his love for her cascading from his eyes, pouring into hers as their gazes locked.He moved his hands under her arms to help her stand before he lifted her, her legs wrapped around his waist, and he thoroughly and completely kissed her.All his emotions were just under the surface, bubbling and boiling, ready to break through.
There was no doubt he loved her, no doubt how important she was to him.There was absolutely no doubt about her place in his life.His own insecurities warred in his mind, begging to be let out and made known.More than anything, he wanted to make her understand that she belonged to him.Not in a Neanderthal-caveman type of belonging…but in a much deeper, more profound respect.
To emphasize his sincerity, he spoke softly as he held her tight against him.He didn’t want to break the spell between them, but there was a lingering doubt that nagged him with relentless thoughts.A question that he needed answered to make sure they were on the same wavelength.
“I want to be everything you need.The only one you crave.My name—the one you scream.My touch—the one that burns you, melts you, and excites you.Only mine.I may be selfish, but I won’t share you.Tell me you’re mine—only mine.”
His eyes bored into hers with a fierceness that made her heart palpitate.She marveled at how his strong arms so easily held her petite frame suspended off the ground.But it was the possessiveness, coupled with an intense, deeply rooted need in his voice that had her unraveling at the seams.
