Aiden’s shoulders tense, and his lopsided smile falters for a split second. He tilts his head and makes a sound at the back of his throat. “Lessons, huh? You needed to come here and ask me that?”
I shrug and reach for the cup he’s stolen from me. “Well, I prefer talking to you face-to-face, especially about something as important as this.”
He purses his lips and glances at the cup. “Let’s see, what lesson do I need to give you? We went over the basics like flirting and being a tease.”
He hums in thought and turns his piercing gaze to me.
My skin prickles as if needles are stabbing at me. I scratch a spot behind my ear on my scalp and avert my gaze.
I step back and force a smile.
“Don’t think too hard about it, pretty boy. We can put our heads together later and come up with lessons.” My pulse drums in my ears, and I can’t stop the word-vomit from happening. “I mean, it can be about anything. Even about what men like in bed and how they like to be touched.”
His eyes darken, his smile sharpening.
I reach behind me and grab the doorknob with a nervous laugh. “Oopsies, did I say that? I’m just blabbing at this point and should go. You can keep the smoothie. I’ll make another one when I get home.”
Aiden closes the gap between us and slams the door shut behind me. He leans his head down and nuzzles his nose against my jaw. “Have you ever sucked cock before, pretty girl?”
Heat crawls up my neck. “Yes.”
He raises an eyebrow.
“Okay, no.” I blow out a shuddering breath and lay my hand against his broad chest to push him away. He doesn’t budge from my weak shove.
Aiden chuckles. “You folded so easily.” He kisses the corner of my mouth, sparking a flame inside me from the simple, burning touch. “Why did you try lying about that? You want my help, right?”
I squeeze my eyes shut and grip his shirt. “It doesn’t matter.”
Aiden hums and kisses the other corner. “It’s an easy way to bring a man to his knees and make him beg. Is that what you want?”
Slipping my arms around his neck, I nod and turn my head. Our noses bump and lips brush. Aiden kisses me, softly at first, like he’s unsure that I want this. When I respond, angling my head and deepening it, he takes control, swallowing my breaths only to breathe back into me.
He tastes like strawberries and the sweetest temptation.
Don’t catch feelings, girl.
Aiden ends the kiss. “I’ll teach you.”
He leaves me standing at the front door. He returns a minute later, thermos gone and replaced with a pillow. He drops it on the floor in front of him and frees his belt from the latch. I watch as he unbuttons his pants, his eyes dark as they sweep over my face, like he’s memorizing it.
It’s easy to forget that what we’re doing is emotionless. He makes it seem like he actually cares for me as more than a sister.
“Get on your knees.” The sound of a zipper fills the room, and Aiden shoves his pants down, freeing his erection before fisting himself.
Oh.
I didn’t expect him to teach me a lesson here at the safe house, where his friends could walk in at any moment. I peek past Aiden, wondering if any of his captives are close by. What if they hear what we’re doing?
Fuck it. I don’t care. All I want is another round of his praises and for me to make him feel good. I want to know what he means to make a man fall to his knees and beg, and I’m willing to find out because I’ve become addicted to the sounds he makes when he’s turned on.
I sink onto the pillow and tilt my head back.
“I want you to keep your eyes on me the whole time.” He inches forward until the tip of his cock brushes my lips. “Watch my expressions, then go off of them to learn what I like.”
“Whatdoyou like?”
He grins and threads his fingers through my hair at the top of my head. “I challenge you to find out for yourself.”
