Oh god, what now?
“What? Are you bisexual, transgender? No, let me guess, you have a deformed penis and only one testicle.” I, of course, know already that he doesn’t. But he’s not aware I watched him in the shower. Or is he?
He looks at me with an arched eyebrow.
I smile at him innocently. “Hmmm?”
“No, to all the above. What I was going to tell you was that we’re equal partners in everything. Except in the bedroom. That’s where I’m in charge.”
Involuntarily, my sex clenches at his words. I shouldn’t find it so hot, but I can’t help the heat spreading through my body.
Yes, I can definitely live with that.
Tiero introduced me to what it’s like to yield in the bedroom, to give up control. I loved it. It allowed me to let go and not overthink things.
And Aiden telling me up front? It’s a major turn on. Tiero, by contrast just took whatever he wanted from my body. Obviously, I was on board with that, but I feel respected and cherished in a way I haven’t before. I marvel at Aiden’s maturity.
Open and honest communication is the key to every successful relationship. It’s what Aiden has repeatedly said. And he’s demonstrating it over and over. It makes me trust him in a way that I have not known before.
“Just the bedroom?” I ask innocently. “What about the kitchen? The island is the perfect height to bend over and…”
Aiden groans. I bet he’s imagining exactly that now. “Okay. Let me clarify this for you. The bedroom or anywhere else I choose to take you.”
Oh, this is a fun game. “Take me?” I repeat batting my eyelashes at him. “Like take me out for dinner or dancing or to the movies?”
He slaps my thigh playfully. “No, lucida. You know exactly what I mean.”
I do, and I fall just that much harder for him. I can’t help the smile that is threatening to swallow me whole.
When we pull up at Aiden’s house, I lean over to kiss him. “Where have you been all my life?!”
And in this moment, I really mean it. I wish I had met him years ago, that he had been my first and my last.
But then again, would I be able to appreciate him as much as I do, had I not had the experiences of heartbreak, mistrust, red flags, kidnapping, escape, capture, escape, capture, escape, rescue, and hiding on another continent?
“I will not sleep in the guest bedroom, though,” I declare. “If you’re determined to resist me, then you will have to do that in your bed. Because that’s where I’m going to sleep.”
“Are you challenging my authority already, Sunshine?” he teases.
“Well, the way I see it, you’re not taking me… we’re talking about sleeping arrangements. So no, I’m not challenging you in the least. Besides, I have a brand-new boyfriend,” I say, grinning. “And I refuse to sleep alone. So suck it up, buttercup, I’m going to cuddle up to you. Good luck resisting me.” I wink at him as I exit the car.
“Buttercup?” Ade asks.
“She’s the girl in thePrincess Bride.”
“Of course she is.” He smirks and then replies to my earlier comment, trying to look serious. “You know I have iron-clad self-control.”
“Hmm, we’ll see about that,” I mumble to myself.
Challenge accepted.
Aiden gave me one of his shirts to wear to bed and asked me to get changed in the bathroom. He claimed he didn’t want to see me naked tonight and said watching me undress slowly for him will be his treat when he comes back from Chicago.
Annoyingly, he seems determined to stick to his no-sex-tonight plan. But I’m equally determined to break him down, and I think the odds are in my favor if the large erection in his boxer briefs is anything to go by.
He’s already lying on the bed, his arms slung behind his head, putting his large, powerful muscles perfectly on display. I unabashedly stare.
Fuck me, I love his arms!
