“I trust you, Aiden…more than I’ve ever trusted anyone. I’m sorry I can’t tell you everything. The rest is Greg’s story to tell.” Her fingers slide through my hair as she massages my scalp. “I can’t betray his trust.”
I kiss her neck. “Shush.” I kiss her lips. “It’s okay. You’ve told me enough.”
Cradling her against my body, I caress down her back, my fingers threading through her long hair as she falls asleep in my arms.
My heart feels so full of her right now that I know it’s going to hurt when she wakes and I have to let her go.
I’m curious about their arrangement, but it fills me with joy to be the only man she wants and I hope eventually that she’ll be able to walk away from him and into my arms, which will always be open to her.
Closing my eyes, sleep claims me.

“My brother has been walking around with a huge grin on his face since yesterday,” Emelia states. “What have you done to him?” She waits for my answer and I feel a blush slowly creep up my face.
“Thought so.” Emelia chuckles. “I love it when I’m right.” Sobering, she tilts her head to the side and a frown deepens on her brow as she says, “I honestly don’t know what to think about you two. I mean you’re the only woman that I’ve ever seen him screwed up about, but you’re not really free to be with him.”
“I know.” I swallow back my anguish because I want nothing more than to be with Aiden. It hurts that I can’t be and all because of the damn contract I signed.
“I love your brother, Emelia,” I whisper and quickly blink back tears. “He knows my situation and that’s what matters. I just wish my life was so much simpler.” I shrug. “It isn’t right now but as long as Aiden knows my feelings for him are genuine, then we both can get on with our lives and hope that one day it’s a shared one.”
Emelia looks thoughtful and smiles wryly. “Well, me more than anyone should know that everything can work out in the end if you want something badly enough.” Her whole face lights up when her husband, Dante, comes up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Aiden appears and steps close to me, the back of his hand lightly brushing against mine. The minute he touches me, I turn my head and meet his heated gaze. He leans in and whispers, “What I wouldn’t give to kiss you right now,” before turning his attention to the couple across from us.
My pulse quickens and I try to control my reaction as Aiden asks the couple, “How long are you both staying?”
I toss my work gloves into the back of my car and busy myself with arranging my gear.
“A few days,” Dante answers, and after some small talk between the brothers, he finally says, “I’m going to take my wife inside and leave you be. It was nice seeing you again, Sarah.”
I turn around and smile shyly, not missing the unasked questions in his eyes.
When they’re out of sight, Aiden closes the back of my car and takes my hand, tugging me toward the horse barn.
“My horse is saddled and I want you on it with me.” He places his mouth to my ear. “I want to touch you while we ride.”
Shards of pleasure ripple down my spine at his words and I admit to myself that I’ll do anything this man wants me to do—with him, or while he watches. He’s my everything, and as he helps me on his horse and settles in behind me, all sense leaves me.
All I can think about is him. His arms around me, holding the reins. His thighs rubbing against mine. His chest tight against my back while my bottom rubs against his groin with each step the horse takes.
I close my eyes against the overwhelming sensation that has wrapped around me until I can’t think about anything else other than getting naked with Aiden.
My imagination runs wild and I wonder what it would feel like to have Aiden’s dick inside me while we ride. He’s long and thick, so the pleasure would be amazing. Just the thought has my panties wet and my sex throbbing with the need to feel him inside of me.
“Why are you squirming?” he whispers the question against my ear, leaving a trail of we
t kisses down my neck.
“Um, no reason,” I mumble in response, my eyes drifting closed.
“Tell me,” he hisses when I grab hold of his thighs. I slowly move my hands upward and the closer I get to his groin the shakier his hands become. “Sarah?”
He may end up regretting having the knowledge of just where my thoughts went but I’m too aroused to care now.
“I wondered what it would feel like to have your cock inside me while we rode the horse.”
