A weird noise comes out of me, and I’m not sure if I’m whining or agreeing, and the next thing I know, he’s carrying me—naked this time—up the last flight of stairs to my bedroom.
I can’t seem to stop kissing him, loving the pine-and-salt sweat scent of his skin, addicted to the way he feels on my lips and tongue and teeth.
“I’m going to taste you now,” he says, laying me down on the bed like I’m some kind of fragile doll.
“Sounds good to me.”My voice is dazed, and I don’t recognize it.
He laughs again, his eyes hot as they rake over my skin.
My breath stutters as his hands grip my inner thighs, and I exhale as he pulls my legs apart, baring me to him.
Never once can I remember someone looking at me like this, like I’m everything they’ve ever wanted and been too afraid to ask for.
His gaze sets me on fire, and somehow, I feel safer with him in this moment than maybe I ever have in my life.
Where has Aiden been?
“Now that I have you where I want you, I’m not sure I’m ever going to let you go.”The words pop out of me before I have a chance to reflect on how fucking weird they are, and my nose wrinkles as I hear them out loud.
“Oh, you think you have me where you want me?”he asks, slicking a finger through my folds.I suck in a breath and he chuckles.“Have you considered thatIhave you right where I wantyou?”
With that, he lowers himself between my legs, a devious smirk on his face.
“Watch me,” he says as my lids start to close in anticipation.“I want to see the look in those beautiful eyes when I make you come.”
“Fuck,” I moan, and his warm breath rushes over my oversensitive body as he laughs.
My hands fist in his hair as his hot tongue darts out, and then I nearly forget to breathe.
Aiden works me with soft, teasing circles of his mouth, remembering my admonition to slow down.
Pleasure scrambles my brain, fireworks sizzling all over my body, and I’m senseless, boneless, floating on a cloud of Aiden’s making.
Aiden props himself on his elbows, grinning at me triumphantly over my hips as I try to catch my breath.
“You look really proud of yourself,” I say.
“Well, considering I just made the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen scream my name, yeah, I’m sure I do.”
That makes me laugh, and my legs shake a little with what can only be an aftershock.
“That sounds like a challenge,” I say, attempting to raise my eyebrow.
Unfortunately, I still don’t have a whole lot of control over myself, and Aiden laughs again as he crawls up over my body, peppering my sensitive skin with kisses.
“Fuck, I love how responsive you are.”It’s almost a growl, and my breasts tighten as he pauses over each, gently biting them until I moan again.
“It’s my turn,” I finally manage, and I sound even more feral than he does.
“Oh, if you think this is about taking turns, sweetheart, you are so, so wrong.”His mouth meets mine, and when I taste myself on him, the kiss is long, and deep, and perfect.
“In my nightstand.”I point, very much wanting my hand back on him immediately.
“Got it,” he says, and I make a noise of distress as he rolls off me, finding the box of condoms.
Not fast enough, though.
My chest’s heaving, and all I can think about is how badly I want him.
