He shuffles down the bed, hooking his fingers in my underwear. “I will,” he promises, then drags my panties down my legs to drop them on the pile of discarded clothes.
“You’re unfairly clothed,” I say, goosebumps rising on my naked skin while he’s still got his pants on.
“What’s unfair about this?” he asks, and before I can reply, he dips his face down into my heat and makes me see stars.
He’s a little clumsy with his tongue at first but as he keeps going, his confidence grows, learning from each move he makes, glancing up at me every time he tries something new to see how I react. I reach out to grab his hand, and I’m pretty sure it’s the sight of him smiling into me that tips me over the edge.
All my climax does is make me hungry for more, though. “Aiden, I want you — now.”
“Hang on,” he says, standing up so he can finally free himself of his pants. Seeing his length spring free makes me want him more, and I watch hungrily as he rifles through his bedside drawer to find a condom.
He slides it on quickly then tumbles back onto the bed with me. He’s as flushed as I must be, but if he’s nervous, he doesn’t show it. His body is so warm and comfortable, and I hold him as he slides into me like a jigsaw puzzle coming together, our bodies aligning so perfectly that there’s no room for anything except exquisite pleasure.
I lose count of how many more times I come after that.
Eventually, we flop back into the pillows exhausted, breathing hard into the dim light of the room. We don’t say a word for a while, basking in the hormones and delightful tiredness and musky smell of two bodies combined. I stare at the ceiling for a moment, wondering how high it is, then roll over to wrap my arms around him.
“That was fun,” he murmurs to me.
“Very,” I agree.
“You’d do it again?”
I smirk at him. “I think I could be persuaded.”
He dips his head to kiss me again, his lips tasting salty-sweet and delicious. “I can be pretty convincing.”
“You think so?” I raise my eyebrow, pretending I’m dubious, but seeing as I’m still lying here, naked in his arms, he must know I’m head over heels for him.
“I don’t know how you could resist.”
I chuckle at him, settling back into his arms. It’s the kind of embrace you never want to leave. The kind that makes you feel so safe and loved, you wonder how you ever went without it. “I can’t,” I say. “But I also have a big day tomorrow.”
“Just you?” he asks lightly, his breath ghosting over my head.
I flinch as a tiny twinge of guilt rears its head. “Wedo.”
“For what it’s worth,” he says, squeezing me tighter, “I think it’s going to be yours.”
“Really?” I bite my lip, twisting to blink up at him. “You’d be okay with that?”
He gives me a curious look. “Why wouldn’t I?”
His utter confusion makes me have two thoughts at the same time. First, that I really can have it all — the job and the boy — and second, that I think I might be able to love him.
But unable to verbalize any of that, I wrap my arms around him and kiss his chest and don’t say a word. In the dark, I listen to him breathing and the sound of his heart until my eyes flutter shut and I succumb to sleep.
CHAPTER10
CANDICE
Iwake up alone.
For a second, I’m confused, wondering why my bed has changed shape, why the pillows are so soft and the comforter so downy. Then I remember and my eyes snap open.
Aiden’s room is as big as it seemed last night, pastel colors tastefully accenting his drawers, his sheets, his walls. It looks like a professional designer did all of it. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that he gets a cleaner in. Everything is so immaculate that it’s hard to believe he actually lives here.
A creeping dread starts snaking along my ribs, but I ignore it. If he was going to murder me, he already would have, probably. He’s a rich guy. They live in a totally different world from me, the kind with cleaners and cashmere.
