"No, you're being unreasonable. I'm not going to leave you alone, baby. You had your chance, and you chose to stay. And there's nothing on God's green earth that will take you away from me." His gray eyes turned black. "You're mine now."
So, I might have bitten off more than I could chew. Aaron was stubborn. This side of him, this possessiveness, was astonishing, to say the least, but it felt different than in my past. It was more endearing than aggressive; I just knew he wouldn’t budge. Which meant that I was stuck with him until he decided he was done with me. It shouldn't be long now. They always tired out eventually. All I had to do was wait it out.
"You have a bit of an accent." The best thing to do under the circumstances was to change the topic. "Were you born in England?"
He nodded. "Scotland, Edinburgh."
All his years living in the United States probably diminished his accent, though I could still hear the slight undertone in his pronunciation.
“I like it,” I said.
"Come over tonight, and I'll whisper in your ears as much as you want while I fuck you from behind."
Heat crept up my neck. "Can you stop being so crass?"
Aaron shrugged carelessly like he hadn't just uttered dirty words. "The ball's in your court. I'm down to fuck whenever you are."
"There will be no fucking," I mumbled, lifting a finger to push my glasses up my nose. "And stop trying to disconcert me. It's not working."
Bullshit.
"Then why are your nipples hard?"
At his words, I looked down at my chest, gasping in horror when I noticed the hardened peaks straining against my chiffon top. My hands shot up to cover them. Though, from his smug expression, I knew it was futile. After all, he'd had his mouth on them two nights ago, and if I wasn’t careful, he'd have his mouth on them again soon.
"You're insatiable." My cheeks were impossibly hot, and I snarled at him as he gave me a wide grin followed by a very provocative wink that did all sorts of things to me.
He blew me a kiss. “Only for you, baby. Have dinner with me this weekend. Somewhere quiet. A candlelit dinner if you want. Just the two of us."
My mouth dropped open. "Are you asking me out on a date?"
Was he crazy? Did he not hear anything I said about my father coming after his career? Or how I didn't want him?
"Why not?" he asked.
"You're crazy."
"Fucking crazy about you, yes.” He unfolded his arms and leaned forward so his elbows rested on the desk. "I'm serious, Felicity. I like you, and for all your running away with your tail between your legs, something tells me you like me, too.
“Now, I don't know what you have against the idea of intimacy, but I'll let you know that it doesn't just involve sex. I want the whole nine yards, and this is the first time I've liked anyone enough to say that. You should be pleased."
I should be fucking terrified, and I was. Mainly because it really just hit me right then that I had been wrong, and that Aaron was not giving up. Other than what he told me on Saturday, I knew little else about him, and I was suddenly hit with an urge to know more.
Who was he, really? What made Aaron Pegg tick? He was a twenty-eight-year-old lead programmer, the youngest OceansPlay ever had, if I recalled correctly, but what mountains did he climb, and what bridges did he burn to get here?
Holding his gaze, I let my hands drop from my breasts. My nipples were still hard, but the shame I initially felt was gone. "Why did you start programming?"
A corner of his lips twitched. "To hide. Get away from my mother and her episodes. Eventually, I fell in love with it, and it became an integral part of my life. I honestly don't know where I'd be without it."
His eyes had taken on a certain glow, one that was different from how they shone with mischievousness when he was aroused. I decided I liked them both.
"Do you have a middle name?" I asked.
This time, his smile was full. "Aaron Simon Henry Pegg. My parents told me that both my grandfathers wanted me to have their names, and since my parents couldn't decide on one or risk offending the other, they named me after both of them." He chuckled heartily like he was recalling a fond memory. "A mouthful, I know."
"You are."
Aaron's eyes widened briefly before he threw his head back and laughed deeply.
