Page 72 of His For the Summer

“Right,” I agreed, reluctantly pulling away from Aiden’s embrace.“Later.”

“Much later,” Aiden promised, his hand resting possessively on my thigh as we turned our attention back to the conversation at hand.

But even as we continued to discuss our plans, all I could think about was the promise of passion that awaited us.And I knew that no matter what obstacles we faced, there would always be a fire between us—a fire that only we could ignite.

“Want to show me your room?”Aiden asked, raising an eyebrow suggestively.

“Definitely,” I whispered, my heart racing in anticipation.

“Subtle,” my father muttered.

“Why don’t I take you both out to dinner?We’ll leave these boys alone to reconnect,” Kaito suggested.“We’re going to be in-laws, after all.”

“Grandpa,” Aiden admonished.

“What?It’s true.I see wedding bells in the future,” my mom said, laughing.“You two enjoy your time together.We’ll take Kaito down the road to our secret sushi spot.”

I didn’t hear anything else because Aiden was dragging me up the stairs.We barely made it inside my room before our lips met again, hands roaming and exploring each other’s bodies with a sense of urgency.Aiden kicked the door shut and pinned me against the wall, his mouth trailing hot kisses down my neck.

“God, I missed this,” I moaned, my fingers digging into his shoulders as he tore at my clothes.“I missed you.”

“Missed you too,” he murmured against my skin, sending shivers down my spine.“Can’t wait to see what we can get up to in that house.”

“Me neither,” I agreed breathlessly, my mind already filling with images of all the ways we could christen our new home together.

“Gonna fuck you on every goddamn surface of that place.”

“Jay,” Aiden whispered, nipping gently at my earlobe before pulling back to meet my eyes.“I love you.”

“I love you too,” I replied, my voice thick with emotion.And I slid my hand down between his legs, happy to make him moan in pleasure.

“Keep touching me like that, and they’ll be right about the wedding bells,” he murmured.

“Oh, I plan to.”I gave him a cheeky grin, taking the time to check him out as we shed the rest of our clothes.“By the way, how are we getting to Stanford?”

“Private jet,” Aiden said, drizzling lube over his cock, and giving it a firm stroke that made my inner muscles flutter.

“Uh oh, I think I feel myself turning into a money-grubbing sociopath!”I squealed, and he threw me down onto the bed with a growl and shoved his cock inside me.

“Never,” he whispered, kissing my neck as he thrust again and again.

Aiden

IwalkedalongsideJayand my grandfather, Kaito, but even with them by my side, the halls of Stanford’s biology department felt both intimidating and exhilarating.My heart raced with a mix of nerves and excitement as we followed the head of the department, Maria Marquez, on our tour.

“Do department heads usually give transfer students a full tour?”Jay whispered as Professor Marquez unlocked a lab.

“That shows you how much my grandfather must have donated to make this happen,” I whispered back, laughing softly.As guilty as I sometimes felt about my privilege, I was warmed by the gesture my grandfather had made.It seemed better to focus on those feelings.

The lab’s walls were lined with posters of various ecosystems and animals—each one a reminder of the incredible journey I was about to embark on.

“And this is one of our conservation biology labs.Right now, I believe they’re doing a project on lessening the impacts of invasive plant species.”

I grinned, looking around at the equipment the students were using on their projects.I was thrilled, but at the same time, I was so intimidated that I didn’t know what to say.Jay reached for my hand, squeezing it and grounding me.And I thought of something to say.“We did a project in my high school like that, and I focused on Russian thistle in the Pacific Northwest.It was the one that turned me on to conservation biology.”

“Wonderful!Since you’re transferring in, Aiden, you’ll have some classes to make up,” Maria said, glancing at her clipboard.“It’ll probably add an extra year to your studies.”
