“I should have,” he admitted. “I thought I’d make it worse. Honestly, he caught me by surprise.”
A crappy excuse, but true, nevertheless.
“Yeah, well, so was I. So was Blake,” Lily said. “But the message was received loud and clear.”
Aidan flinched. “Listen—”
Lily shook her head. “You don’t need to say anything. I know this is just sex. I never said I wanted to be a part of your life.”
He clenched his teeth.
Neither had he asked her to be, but Lily was making it very clear she didn’t want to see him once they left the tropical islands.
Aidan wasn’t sure he believed her.
Hell, he was mature enough to know not every woman wanted him, but then again, he also had enough life experience to know the difference between wanting to dominate and own a woman. Whether for a few hours or a night.
With Lily, he wanted to fold her up and slip her into his back pocket and keep her.
What he wanted to know was if she was reacting from hurt, after what his father had said, or if she truly didn’t have any other feelings developing for him.
Because he fucking did.
And this wasn’t over because Andrew had made some remarks that frankly didn’t align with anyone else in the family.
Aidan glanced at his hands circling her wrists and felt the sudden desire to bind them and push her up against the wall with them above her head, then rip up her skirt and fuck her.
Claim her.
“I never said I didn’t want you to be in my life, Lily,” Aidan said.
What was he saying?
Did he want her to be his girlfriend?
Okay, I haven’t thought this through.
“Stop. I’m here for Emma as her bridesmaid. That’s it,” Lily said. “You are an intoxicatingly handsome man, Aidan Dufort.”
His nostrils flared.
“The way you look at me like you want to eat me for dinner is incredibly arousing. I’ve never met anyone like you. Never been desired by a man like you do.”
Oh, baby, you have no idea.
He took a step closer, her back pressing against the wall.
“Keep talking,” Aidan said, lifting her hands above her head. “And keep these up here.”
She shook her head.
“Forget my father. Forget what he said. He’s an asshole,” Aidan said, running his hand across her collarbone and down the side of her breast. “I want you, Lily. More of you. Here. And when we get home.”
Her breath hitched as he circled around and ran his knuckles over her nipple.
“Don’t you feel this?” His gaze lifted to hers.
“You make me feel so...sexy,”
