I’m laying here, still naked, listening to Aiden run down the stairs to the main door of my apartment. He jumped off of me so fast when he came it’s almost as though he shot himself out of me like a champagne cork. Except instead of bubbles, I’m stuck here with his come leaking out of me onto my duvet cover.
I can’t even begin to piece together his massive overreaction, so instead I get up and take myself to the shower to get cleaned up.
Once I’m in the shower, my mind takes a darker turn, wondering what the hell is wrong with me to cause him to run like that. Is this like the video game incident the other night? Did I beat him at sex and he had to run away in shame?
He seemed pretty concerned we forgot to use a condom, and it’s not that I’m not concerned, but if he’d stuck around long enough, I could have at least told him I have an IUD. I’ve never forgotten to use a condom either, and I know for a fact that I’m clean. I have a copy of the test results to prove it too, if he’d been interested in that.
I wash myself on autopilot, still in shock from Aiden’s hasty departure, and before I realize it, I’m turning off the shower and stepping out onto the bathmat. Wrapping myself up in a fluffy bathrobe, I walk out to the living room to find my phone. Xena’s going to hear about this disaster. She’s the one who wanted me to use him to bang my worries away, after all. It’s only fair that she deals with the aftermath. After a quick detour to my freezer to grab some chocolate peanut butter cups, I settle in on the couch and send Xena a text.
Me - Cobwebs are gone, but you owe me an explanation.
Xena - Yes! It worked. Wait until I tell Devon.
Me - Yeah. It worked until he ran away screaming as soon as he was done. Makes me feel awesome.
Xena - He did what?! Why the hell would he do something like that? What an asshole.
Xena - And you are awesome. And don’t you forget it.
Me - Uh, yeah.
Me - It was practically instantaneous, too. He came, and then he jumped up and started ranting and getting dressed. I don’t think he even put his shirt on before he went out to his car.
Xena - What a dick.
Rhea - Tell me about it.
I unwrap a peanut butter cup and toss it into my mouth, throwing the wrapper onto the coffee table in front of me. These treats have been in my freezer for months and I haven’t had a reason to get into them until now.
I initially bought them in case I needed a little pick me up while I was waiting to hear from the police commission, but I was too hopeful during that time to need them. I really didn’t expect that I wouldn’t be rejoining the force. I suppose my three months off could have been better spent looking for work, or thinking about future career choices, but instead I spent a lot of time trail running and keeping up with my weightlifting routine at the gym. Because I wanted to stay in great shape for when I got my badge back. Looks like that wasn’t necessary after all.
The three dots on the messaging app keep appearing and disappearing, telling me Xena is trying to type me a message. I’m not even sure it’s worth talking about anymore, to be honest. We had sex and then he left. Granted, it was super hot, amazing sex, but he literally ran away from me thesecondit was over, so it was a fuck and chuck all the same. It’s not like I was expecting him to stick around and hold me all night or anything, but a little consideration would have been nice. Maybe a thank you, and a nice high five for a job well done, or even a handshake?
My phone chimes, telling me that Xena has finally figured out what she wants to say.
Xena - OK, so from what I hear, this is not Aiden’s normal behaviour. But he apparently has more than a normal fear of getting someone pregnant, and Devon thinks he hasn’t actually slept with anyone in ages. Maybe even years.
Well, fuck. That makes a little more sense then. No wonder forgetting a condom freaked him out so much. He probably thinks I’m going to get pregnant and he’ll be stuck with a kid that he doesn’t want.
Me - Shit.
Me - It was pretty spur of the moment and we forgot to use a condom.
Xena - You what?! What the hell, girl? You gotta wrap that shit up. No glove, no love. You know better.
Me - Yes, I do. I was so caught up I don’t even know what happened. It’s like he was the only thing that existed. I’ve never had anything like that happen before.
Xena - Well?
Xena - Was it good at least?
I don’t think there are enough words to even explain how good it was. Good? Great? Amazing? Magnificent? Fucktacular?
The way he touched me, it was like he knew my body better than I did. And the things he said? Fuck. Just thinking about it is getting me all hot and bothered again. If that asshole has ruined sex for me, I’m going to be so pissed. You can’t just give someone the best orgasms they’ve ever had and then run away. That’s a dick move if there ever was one. But I can’t deny that it was good. And my body does feel more relaxed than it did before. I feel sort of boneless, actually. And his ass felt just as amazing as I imagined. My fingers flex, just wanting to squeeze it some more.
Not that I’m going to tell Xena all of this. Knowing her, this entire conversation is going to make its way to Aiden through Devon, probably before I even fall asleep tonight. Love her, but she has a big mouth.
Me - Yeah, it was pretty good.
