“I’m not going back tomorrow,” I murmured, taking Aiden’s free hand and kissing the base of his thumb, tongue flicking out across the pulse point on his wrist.
I wasn’t ready to talk about what Iwasgoing to do, because that’d be two big, scary life changes in one day, and I wasn’t ready.
But I already had a pretty good idea of how I wanted this year to turn out.
Hopefully, I’d be spending a lot of it exactly where I was now.
And the next year, and the year after that.
And the year afterthat.
For as long as Aiden would have me.
“Good,” Aiden said, glowing like I’d just offered him the world. “Roll over, shove a pillow under your hips, I’ll grab supplies and then rock your world.”
I didn’t doubt that for a second. Aiden alreadyhadrocked my world. Made sense that he’d keep doing it.
The few seconds I waited for him to come back were agony, my stomach knotting up again during the pause, but it all melted away the moment I felt the warmth of his body hovering over me again.
“This is a good look for you,” Aiden said, kissing the back of my neck. “You have a great body.”
“Pale and with the muscle tone of a wet noodle?” I asked.
Aiden laughed, running his hands up my back and over my shoulders, squeezing gently until they relaxed under the pressure, like he’d done for me before.
“Your lines are very elegant,” Aiden said. “I see a lot of bodies. I like this one.”
“I get the feeling you don’t judge harshly.”
“No,” Aiden agreed. “I think all bodies are pretty awesome. But this one belongs to you, so I like it a little more.”
Why did I ever think I could live without this? Aiden was the best thing that’d ever happened to me, and I was keeping him for as long as I could.
A trail of open-mouthed kisses down my spine made me squirm into the mattress, my grip on the pillow I’d grabbed—propped up just like Aiden had been, since I didn’t know any better—tightening.
But I wasn’t nervous. Maybe I should have been, maybe the idea of having someone else’s cock inside me for the first time should have made me hesitate.
Aiden had shown me I could trust him, though. Ididtrust him. More than I trusted anyone.
There was no one in the world I wanted this first time with more.
I wanted Aiden to be my first and mylast. It was too early to think that, but I couldn’t help it. He felt like my forever.
I gasped as Aiden’s teeth sank into the flesh of my ass, a sudden rush of heat going straight to my cock. Aiden’s laughter only made it worse, the obvious enjoyment he got out of this making me tingle all over.
He liked being with me. He liked it because it wasme, not just because of what I could do for him.
I could have loved him for that alone, but there were so many other things to love him for.
Warm, slick fingers trailed up the inside of my thigh, encouraging me to part my legs further, the sheets rustling as I shifted, looking for the perfect position.
“Tell me to stop if you hate it,” Aiden said. “No one’s taking your bi card away for not liking anal, promise.”
“You like it,” I murmured, too focused on the gentle slide of Aiden’s fingers over sensitive skin to absorb much other thantouch good.
“Love it,” he confirmed. “Happy to let you fuck me as often as you want. No pressure on that either, though. I also like to cuddle.”
“I know,” I said. We’d done our share of cuddling already, but I could’ve gone for more of that, too. Being near Aiden made me feel at peace for once. I’d never felt socalmas I did around him.
