Poor Owen, he’s so little to have to go through this. I pet Snoop, giving him a hug. “Just you and me, buddy? What shall we do tonight?”
Snoop gazes back at me and then walks over to his dish. I laugh. “No way, you’ve just had some!”
My phone beeps and I grab it, thinking it’s Kade with more news.
I’m going to make you pay attention to me. You’ll regret this.
That’s the last thing I need right now. But despite myself, I shiver. I’m alone here and it’s quiet without everyone around. The wind is picking up outside and I’m unsettled.
A couple of hours later, I’ve had a long bath with lots of bubbles and made myself an early dinner. To help me relax, I’ve had one of Kade’s beers and curled up on the sofa with Snoop.
Kade texted to let me know they’re keeping Owen in overnight to check for concussion, so he and Sally are staying at the hospital.
I’m in the middle ofBridgertonwhen Snoop sits up and starts growling. He’s such a big dog that he sounds like a bear. The hackles on the back of his neck are up and he runs to the window, barking a couple of times.
I hug the blanket around my knees, frozen in place. What if Adrian’s found me? I pick up the phone and then put it down. I can’t call Kade, what if I’m wrong? He must be out of his mind worrying about Owen. Snoop walks back over to me and puts his head on my knee. The wind blows something against the window and both of us flinch.
Screw it. I text Aron.
I’m here alone, Snoop is growling at something outside. Can you check in on me? Probably nothing but I’m scared.
He texts back straight away.
I’m on my way over already. Kade just told me about Owen and I didn’t want you to be alone. See you in five.
Snoop greets Aron at the door with a big wag of his tail. I feel like I’d wag mine too if I had one. His hair is tousled, and he’s wearing jeans and a T-shirt under his coat. He looks big and capable, and something about him makes me feel safe. Safe for the first time in a long, long while.
“Can I get you a beer?” I walk into the kitchen as he nods, opening the refrigerator. I open the bottle and hand it to him, watching as he takes a drink. We’re standing at the counter and I can’t deny there’s something crackling in the air between us.
“How’ve you been? What’s going on here?” His eyes are concerned as he looks down at me.
“Snoop started growling. And my ex has been ramping up his scary text campaign. It got me spooked. I guess because I’m here alone.” I swallow and look down at the counter. My throat is tight and, out of nowhere, tears prick at my eyes.
Aron sets his beer down and walks over to me. His big arms encircle me in a huge hug and I’m surprised for a second, before I relax and enjoy the warmth of being so close to him. I’m at peace, not worried or scared, not anticipating Adrian’s next move or thinking about my little nephew. I’m here with Aron, right now, and it feels right.
My head is resting on his broad chest and it vibrates as he talks. “When you kissed me…that was the best kiss I’ve ever had. I wanted you to know.”
I can’t help smiling. “Me too.” I raise my head and he inclines his down to mine so our lips meet. The heat between us rises as he slides his tongue slowly into my mouth, exploring it as my breathing quickens. Electricity courses through my body, from my mouth down to my core as he holds me closer to him, his massive cock hard and ready against me.
I can’t stop this. I don’t want to stop this. Aron might be Kade’s best friend and my new boss, but he’s the best thing that’s happened to me in a very long time. I want to quit thinking about what’s right and wrong, what’s logical and what’s not, and give in to this.
I kiss him back, sliding my hands under his T-shirt, relishing the hard muscles of his broad back. He pulls his T-shirt off and I explore his muscled abs as we kiss, feeling his sharp intake of breath as I run my nails over his firm stomach. His big hands run over my waist and down to my butt, pulling me in even tighter.
I gasp as he picks me up effortlessly and sets me on the countertop. Adrian used to complain about my weight and I guess I’ve internalized it that somehow I’m too much. Aron seems to relish my shape, running his hands over my body and sending delicious shivers to my core. I pull my T-shirt off and he lowers his head to kiss down my neck to my breasts, pulling down the cups of my bra.
“Fuck, Olivia. You are perfect.” His voice is deep and growly as he sucks first one nipple and then the other, rolling his tongue around in a way that makes me hold my breath as his stubble gently grazes my skin. I clutch on to the back of his neck, moaning shamelessly, luxuriating in the sensations that spark from my nipples directly to my pussy. I lean back and nearly topple off the counter, but he grabs me, laughing.
I hop down and lead him into my little bedroom, closing the door so Snoop doesn’t decide to come and investigate. I sit on the bed and Aron kneels down in front of me. His amber scent and dark eyes make me feel like I’m drunk, and my breath hitches as I gaze back at him.
He pulls off my pajama pants and works his way slowly from my breasts down my belly, kissing my naked skin. His head bends down to my mound, and he licks and sucks at my swollen clit, making me gasp as I hold the back of his head. Aron’s big hands widen my trembling legs and he gently slides one finger into my sopping wet entrance, followed by another. His fingers thrust in and out as I clench against him, feeling an orgasm start to build as he fingers me in a steady rhythm.
His big fingers flex inside me as his tongue brings me closer and closer, until I almost scream with relief as I come, clenching again and again, gripping his fingers with my pussy.
I look down at him once I’m able to speak. “I need you inside me.Now.”
He grins, pulling off his jeans. I reach down and guide his enormous cock to my sopping wet entrance. I pause for a second, wondering if he’ll fit inside me. He stops too and our breathing slows to a steady pace.
Slowly he pushes his cock inside me, inch by inch, until I’m fuller than I’ve ever been in my life. He waits for a second, lowering his head to suck on my peaked nipples, before he starts to slide in and out. My breasts jiggle as his thrusting gets faster and my breathing quickens. A warm wave starts to build inside me as his huge cock thrusts faster and faster. I moan as I tense my feet, sparks of pure bliss shooting around my body, from the tips of my toes to the top of my head. He pounds into me again and again as I arch my back, coming in pleasure-drenched spasms against his cock. His body tenses and his hot seed shoots into me as he growls my name against my neck.
