As I stood to round my desk, he stepped in and closed the door behind him. He looked dark and like he’d had a long day. His dark hair was messy, as if he had been running his hands through it. I noticed stress tight around his gray eyes, though his gaze on me was softer. He was wearing a black on black suit and shirt, his shirt open at the throat.
He walked to the roses on my table and quickly read the card. When he turned to me, he had a small smile on his face.
“My brothers always know the things to do,”he said.
For just a moment, I could see through the walls Aiden always built around himself. Exhaustion, concern, and anger shined through for a moment. I stepped closer to him, placing my palm against his cheek, looking into his swirling eyes.
“Are you ok?”I asked quietly.
His hand came to my waist, holding my gaze. I could see questions and I waited for him to say whatever he had come to say. One of his hands slid up my side, slowly coming up my chest, over my collarbone, until his fingers caressed my throat. My pulse increased with each moment he carefully touched me. I waited for him to say something, anything, to explain the way he was looking at me.
His fingers closed around my neck and he pulled me into him. His lips descended to mine. The touch was soft at first, exploring, greeting my lips with his own. I let my arms go around his waist, my hands going under his suit jacket to feel his back through his dress shirt.
Aiden growled low in his throat as my hands slid over him and he slanted his mouth over mine, deepening the kiss. His tongue slid along my lips, asking for entry. I opened for him and I couldn’t stop the moan as he began to explore my mouth. Henipped at my bottom lip, then slid his tongue along the spot to ease the sting, before sliding his tongue back against mine.
I pushed up on my toes, even my heels not making me as tall as Aiden, rubbing my body along his in the process. I could feel his wanting me pressed against my stomach. His fingers around my neck pressed softly into my skin, controlling me in the kiss, not allowing me the chance to put any space between us. When Aiden was like this, I could feel my heart burst with the emotions he brought out of me.
Finally, he pulled away, ending the kiss. We were both gasping for air and his gray eyes looked lighter than when he first came into my office. I was thankful I could wipe away some of the worry he seemed to be having. His smile was slow and sexy as he looked down at me. I knew my lips were likely swollen and my cheeks were pink from the blush that had crept up my neck.
“Are you ready to go home?”He asked.
My brain misfired a few times before I looked over my shoulder at the work I really needed to finish. It only took a moment for me to decide I could easily finish the work from home. I looked back at Aiden and nodded.
“Good. I told Frank to take an early night. My car is downstairs,”he said.
He leaned down and kissed my neck, his lips caressing over my pulse and I sighed in contentment. He straightened and motioned toward my desk. It took all of my concentration to not trip over my own feet as I went to my desk to pack the documents I needed and my laptop into my briefcase.
When I was ready, Aiden led me to the door, but kept his hands to himself so not to cause a stir in the office. My co-workers knew I was close to the Knights and was staying with them currently due to safety concerns. But we were careful notto show affection that would cause rumors to fly throughout the office.
I said goodbye to Pam and waved to the receptionist. Once in the elevator, Aiden turned to me and pressed me against the elevator wall. I gasped at the sudden onslaught, and he took the moment to dive for my mouth again. His lips slid down my jaw to my ear, where he sucked the lobe between his teeth.
“Why do I want you, as badly as I do, all the time?”He growled into my ear.
“I, honestly, don’t know,”I replied, my words ragged and breathy.
He pulled back and looked down at me seriously.
“You really don’t, do you?”
I shook my head, not knowing what to even say. I didn’t see myself as anything special, but for some reason Aiden’s eyes were saying something completely different.
“You’re a damn goddess, sweetheart,”he said gruffly.
I could feel the blush on my cheeks and I tried to look away. But Aiden grabbed my face and forced me to look him in the eye. He didn’t say another word, just stared down at me with an intensity that had my knees wobbling. The only thing that saved me from becoming a puddle on the elevator floor was the ding of the door, announcing the arrival at the parking garage level.
Aiden slipped his hand down my arm, causing goosebumps to rise, before taking my hand and leading me into the garage. Normally, Aiden left the driving up to an employee. Either a town car or a limo was his day to day ride. Today, he lead me to his dark blue Porsche Cayman, a slick sports car that he liked to drive faster than the law really allowed.
He put my bags in the small trunk space of the car before helping me into the passenger seat. The purr of the engine was the initial excitement of knowing we were going to be shooting out of the parking garage and flying around the city. As heput the car into drive, Aiden seemed to hesitate. I looked over, waiting for him to either break the silence or pull from the parking spot.
“I’d like to take you somewhere,”he finally said quietly.
“Ok,”I replied.
There was a small crack in the heavy facade that Aiden always had around him. The newness of our relationship made me walk a thin line, not pushing him further than he wanted to go. My heart was already at risk, reaching out to him every time he was around.
As he pulled out of the parking garage, his hand found my bare knee. The warmth crept into my body and I had a hard time keeping my breathing under control. As if he knew my struggles, he began to push up my skirt, revealing my bare thighs underneath. His fingers glided between my legs, clearly on a mission.
I looked over at Aiden’s profile and I could see the sexy smirk he was wearing, but he didn’t turn to look at me. When his fingers found my panties, he softly pet me through the silky material, causing me to hum in appreciation. I couldn’t help my reaction, as I let my thighs slip further apart.
