Aiden
Ilowermylipsto hers.
I can’t hold it back, but I force myself to stop short of kissing her.
From that very moment that she jumped in the vehicle, I’ve been waiting for this. It feels like we’ve known each other forever but it’s only been a few hours. How is that even possible? The connection I feel as I stare into her eyes, holding her longing gaze as she wets her lips with a swipe of her tongue…
I’m not rushing this moment.
“Aiden…” she whispers in my arms.
My skates shift beneath me as I twist my ankle to hold still on the slippery ice.
“Vanessa…”
“Aiden… Kiss me.”
Her breath is hot on my face, her gleaming, enchantingly beautiful eyes holding me still. She blinks up at me, and fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
“I want to. But I’m scared Vanessa.”
Her weight shifts in my arms. Her body feels magical pressed up against me. She’s soft, warm and tender and it’s everything I can do to control every urge searing through my body right now.
“Scared of what?” Vanessa breathes.
“Scared of losing you,” I admit, my voice breaking beneath the shaky words. “My heart can’t be bruised anymore, Princess. I’m done waiting. I think this is it… I think I’m-”
I take a second to draw breath.
It buys me a moment to choose my next words carefully. Very carefully.
I’ve been here before. Women have been scared away by the very thoughts that are racing through my mind. As I stare into Vanessa’s soul, I know I’ve felt these feelings before. I’ve thought these thoughts before. Perhaps not as strongly as I do right now, and maybe… Just maybe, this was fate’s plan all along.
But this time I refuse to let love escape my grasp.
“You’re what, Aiden?” Vanessa adjusts her arms so they’re looped tighter around my neck.
My heart skips a beat. My jaw tightens and my lips purse.
I’m going for it.
“I’m in love with you.”
Like a goal has just crossed the line, every emotion in the empty stadium spills over.
I lower my lips to hers and don’t hold back. This is it. This is everything.
My kiss is hard and hot. It’s possessive and that’s how I damn well want it. My arms tighten around Vanessa, and I grip her body so she’s pressed hard against me. Her head angles, allowing me to deepen the kiss as my tongue slides into her mouth.
She moans against my mouth, the swarm of butterflies in my stomach released.
“Oh, Aiden…”
I nip at her lip as she says my name. Her hands slide to my hair and she’s swivelling out of my arms, dropping to the ice. I plunge my tongue into her mint-tasting mouth and swirl every ounce of feeling in the kiss.
She moans again. Shit, I think I’m grunting, too.
The need to touch her everywhere has me pulling her closer.
