Chapter Ten
Camilla
It was the first dreamless sleep I'd had in years. A pleasant sensation only slightly hampered by the subtle pounding in my head—a result of drinking as much as I had. Alcohol tolerance never being one of my strong points. It wasn't too bad, though.
I could smell the bacon while I was still in bed. A familiar tune whistled from the general area of the kitchen. Had Aden stayed the night? I supposed he might have had gone home and come back the next day. He did still have my keys last I remembered, and he lived only about fifteen feet away. Were it not for the distinct sizzling sound of bacon being fried in a cast-iron skillet, it could well have been plausible that he had cooked the bacon at his place and brought it over.
The bedroom door opened, and my crush came in with a breakfast tray much like I had done for him. Only, in that case, Aden hadn't been naked or in bed. Just half-naked and wishing he was still in bed.
“Hey,” I said.
“Hey,” he replied, setting the tray down on my lap.
“Thanks for taking care of me last night,” I said.
I felt a bit shy and awkward and not just because of the nudity happening under the covers. He'd seen me naked before, so that wasn't really a big thing. It was more how I had behaved the night before. Prompting him to spank me. Not to mention how much I had actually enjoyed being punished like he had done when he had fucked me so wonderfully before going so weird.
Aden really had been right about me acting like a kid, though. Dressing sexy and getting drunk in response to him ignoring me had seemed like a good idea at the time but had been epically immature in retrospect. More like something a teen would do. Not a grown woman pushing thirty. Old enough to drink, old enough to drink responsibly, as my uncle Rory used to say.
“I really am, you know.”
“You really are what?” Aden asked.
“Grownup. I mean adult. I really am an adult.”
“Are you now?” Aden asked, eating a strip of crispy bacon.
“Yes, I am. And I'm finished with playing silly games,” I said with great conviction.
“I'm happy to hear you say that,” he said, slumping down on to the bed a little.
“You are?”
“Of course, I really am attracted to you. I've been suppressing my feelings for Cooper's sake. He seems to be under the impression that I see you as a sister, which is not true at all. My feelings for you are quite carnal indeed.”
“Oh,” I said, blushing a bit.
“And I'm willing to say it. I'm not going to let Cooper's paranoia keep us apart anymore. I'm willing to risk his wrath if you are. I mean, I've seen him fight. Or at least give it a good go. Usually ending up with a bloody nose. It is more his feelings I was worried about, but I'm betting we’ll get past that too.”
I could hardly believe my ears. Aden had actually just admitted that he was attracted to me, and he wanted to risk upsetting Cooper to be in a relationship with me. Both things I never thought I would ever hear him say. I was too overwhelmed to speak for several moments. Finally, I plucked up my gumption.
“I’m ready, to try, I mean. Though I think it might be a good idea to keep things on the down-low for a while. Just to make sure things are going to work out.”
“Right, so no passionate making out in the office or fucking in the janitor’s closet,” Aden said, managing to remain completely deadpan.
“I wasn’t planning on that,” I said, unable to stifle my laugh.
“So, there shouldn’t be a problem then.”
“Nope, not at all,” I agreed.
Setting the tray on the bedside table, Aden moved in for a kiss, which I was more than willing to welcome. We kissed three times, increasing the passion with each until, finally, he went in for a proper kiss, out tongues dancing softly against each other. As we made out, my hand wandered up to the blanket where it went across my chest, uncovering myself.
Without missing a beat or breaking the kiss, Aden caressed his way down my neck and onto my right breast. He gently kneaded the soft flesh, not neglecting my already hard nipple. Relocating the kiss from my mouth down my chin and over my neck, he kept his lips on my skin still without breaking it.
I moaned softly as he sucked my nipple and then a bit deeper and louder as he caressed his hand down my belly and onto my wet, aching pussy. The relief was instant and heavenly, pleasure shooting through me like an electric current as he deftly massaged my delicate pink pussy lips, only taking occasional, light passes on my clit.
Once again on the move, Aden kissed his way down between my tits and over my belly, finally settling between my legs. Figuring this was his final destination, I opened my legs to help him get comfortable and stay awhile.
