“And you were so sweet,” I said to him. “You led me to Liv’s bed, laid me back, told me to close my eyes, and then kissed me softly.”

“And then you shoved your tongue down my throat.” He laughed. “And Liv came in and screamed.”

“That was hilarious.” I giggled. “I can still remember the look of horror on Liv’s face when I told her that I’d kissed you and that you were my first kiss. She looked like she wanted to throw up.”

“She never let me forget about it.” He grinned and then pulled into a parking spot. “I think that was part of the reason I didn’t bring up us having slept together with you. I didn’t know how you felt, and I didn’t want there to be any awkwardness in your relationship with Liv.”

“Oh, Aiden.” I sighed. “I thought you hated me. I thought you thought I was some sort of crazy slut or something and you were embarrassed.”

“Never.” He shook his head and turned off the engine and faced me. “You know I’ve always been attracted to you.”

“You have?” I asked, my eyes wide.

“Hasn’t that been obvious the last couple of months?” He grinned. “I can’t keep my eyes off of you.”

“Well, you have kept your hands off of me,” I said and realized he’d said eyes and not hands. “Oops, I mean eyes.”

“I’ve had a hard time keeping both off of you.” He looked directly into my eyes. “I think us all getting together for Gabby’s fake engagement, and then with Xander and Liv has really made me see what I’ve been missing.”

“Yeah, we have been around each other a lot recently,” I said with a small smile. “I’ve had a hard time keeping my eyes off of you as well.”

“Well, I am super handsome.” He gave me a smug smile, and I hit him in the shoulder.

“And modest as well.”

“Always modest.” He grinned. “Shall we go in and eat?”

“Yes, please. I’m hungry hungry.”

“Well that’s not good. We can’t have you hungry hungry.”

“Oh, why not?”

“Because that will make you too weak for tonight.”

“What’s happening tonight?” I asked him, my heart racing.

“You’ll just have to wait and see.” He grinned and I watched as he got out of the car. I unbuckled my seatbelt and looked intomy handbag and smiled at my handcuffs. I was pretty certain I was going to check that last box tonight as well. I was going to see Aiden on the bed and both of us would be wearing nothing but our smiles.

HOW DO YOU TELL YOUR BEST FRIEND’S BROTHER THAT YOU WANT HIM TO DOMINATE YOU?

“Would you like to have a glass of wine?” Aiden asked me as soon as I sat down on his couch.

“Yes, please,” I said, more because I wanted to check out his living room without me looking nosey than actually wanting some more wine.

“White or red?”

“Surprise me,” I said and slipped my heels off of my feet. I let out a huge sigh of relaxation as my toes sprang free from their confines.

“You okay?” Aiden took a step towards me and looked down at my feet.

“The heels were killing me.” I smiled and rubbed my toes and Aiden took another step towards me.

“Why did you wear them, then?”

“Did you see the look on the faces of all the men when I walked into the restaurant?” I grinned up at him. “Those looks are worth a little pain.”

“What about the look on my face when I saw you in those killer heels?”
