Sarah
As I watch Aiden work a horse around the paddock, I want to pleasure him again before he leaves for Europe. It has been so long since I touched him that his taste has faded from my tongue, and I need him to remember my touch.
He has a great body and when aroused his flesh is just perfect—long, thick, and hard—but most of all it’s the knowing that he’s like that because of me that turns me on and makes me feel like I’m on cloud nine.
Suddenly, I hear chuckling and glance over my shoulder.
“You’re going to bring my brother to his knees if you keep staring at him like that,” Diego laughs and nudges my shoulder.
I inhale and try to bring my mind back from Aiden’s flesh, which is difficult with the heated look he’s giving me.
“Fuck.” Diego hisses. “You’re even turning me on, which is fucking wrong.”
Diego snaps me out of the lust filling my brain. I turn my gaze on him and grin like the Cheshire cat. “You need a woman, Diego.”
He narrows his eyes and steps into my space. “I can assure you that I’m very capable of finding a woman of my own.”
“Hmm.”
“What does ‘hmm’ mean?” he asks, amusement lacing his voice.
“I’m referring to a different kind of woman than you usually go for.” I smirk.
Diego looks stunned and then he throws his head back and roars with laughter. “I like you, and I’m sure as hell glad that Aiden has you.”
Laughter leaves my face and panic takes over. I’ve always suspected Aiden’s family know of our feelings for each other, but hearing Diego admit it causes my belly to ache.
“Hey,” Diego adds, “don’t worry, Sarah. We all see what’s going on between you and my brother, and we all know what a bastard the man you married is. There’s obviously a reason why you’re still with him, but whatever it is will change and you’ll be free to be with Aiden. I’m cool with it, and so is everyone else.” He wraps an arm around me and kisses the top of my head, which surprises me.
“I wish my life was easier,” I admit, and sigh into the hug.
“Nothing in life worth having is easy,” Diego says, and then adds, “He’s jealous.”
I turn my attention to Aiden and watch as his strong jaw tightens with annoyance.
Diego laughs. “I’ll see you later.” He waves his hand toward Aiden as he walks away.
I laugh, watching him go, but when I turn back to watch Aiden, I find him striding toward me. I place my foot on the first wooden slat of the fence and push myself up just in time for my lips to meet his in a possessive kiss.
His hand slips behind by head to keep me close as his lips softly caress along mine. “I thought I wouldn’t get a chance to see you before I left.”
There’s no chance of me answering because his lips are on mine again, searching and finding my tongue as they slide together in a kiss of desperation.
Our breathing is heavy when we finally pull away to catch our breath, but I can’t loosen the grip that I have on his shirt.
Suddenly my eyes fill with tears and Aiden’s climbing the fence to pull me into his arms. His fingers caress down the length of my hair before he wraps it around a hand and holds me against him.
“We’ve only just started and I hate leaving you…but I’ll be home before you know it.” He kisses each cheek and cups my face in his hand. “I’m going to miss you too, honey.”
“I’m afraid, Aiden. When we’re together I believe that everything is going to work out, but when we’re apart, I can’t help doubting everything. Being apart scares me.”
Aiden tips his head and stares at me. “I’m yours, Sarah. I promise.” He closes his eyes and takes hold of my hand. “Let’s go.”
“Where?” I ask, knowing that I’ll following him anywhere he wants.
“I want to be somewhere private with you.”
