Discipline

“Fuuuck.”

My lips smiled at the sound of his reaction, all the while swelling against his rock hardness. Turned on by the tingling sensation, I quickened my pace, bringing him to another sexy moan only to slow my pace completely, drawing an anguished grunt from his throat as he squeezed a handful of my hair. I repeated this for several minutes before returning to a steady pace, both hands joining my mouth in stroking him until his muscles tensed underneath me. “Nina, that feels so fucking good, you have no idea… Oh God, I’m…” His body spasmed. “Ohhh… God, I’m gonna come…”

Mouth full, I glanced up to see the muscles of his abs contracting and releasing, over and over.

“Nina, I’m coming,” he rasped with urgency this time. I watched him, the way his eyes flashed with surprise as I kept going, unfazed by his words. “Nina! I’m… holy shit…”

His body jerked and trembled, his eyes wide with shock since my lips stayed wrapped tight around his shaft as he pumped warmth onto my tongue. Shock and excitement gleamed in his eyes, even as his rigid muscles relaxed, his head falling back onto the mattress as he tried to catch his breath.

“Holy… fucking shit, Nina…”

It was odd to credit Ben for anything, but he’d been the one to make swallowing the norm for me. I didn’t particularly enjoy it with him, but the experience was exhilarating with Aaron. The absolute opposite. I felt powerful. I wanted to give him every second of the pleasure he deserved. It was well worth it to hear him take a solid few minutes to come down from his total awe.

“Nina.”

It took a little while for his voice to be steady as he said my name. I looked up to see his hand reaching for mine, squeaking with surprise when he took it and easily pulled my body up the mattress with one curl of his bicep, so that we were face to face.

“Hi.” I grinned, getting a good look of him as I lay on my stomach and rested on my elbows. His mindblown expression felt like quite the compliment to me.

“It’s crazy.” He studied me, one arm bent behind his slightly shaking head. “I already thought you were like my walking fantasy but then you go off and do that.”

I blushed, which made him laugh.

“And the fact that you’re blushing after doing that is even sexier to me somehow.”

I smiled, tucking my hair behind my ear. “I’m not usually like this… crazy nymphomaniac. I didn’t know I could even be this enthusiastic about sex until you.”

“Trust me, I didn’t know this about myself either.”

“I guess we bring out a certain side of each other.” I giggled. “The… forbidden, bad side. That’s okay with practically ripping my shirt off in the middle of the street.”

Aaron let go of a breath, giving a little whistle of disbelief to go with his sexy grin. “Again… don’t really understand what the hell comes over me around you. I’m sorry about that.”

“Trust me, don’t be.”

“I just lose control when I’m around you. My mind goes blank and I forget the rules.” He paused for a moment. “Or rather, I remember them but I can’t bring myself to care.” His strong arm pulled me onto his chest. I lay there, soaking in the comfort of its strength and broadness, feeling his lips in my hair though I detected uncertainty in his voice as he continued. “I actually want to break every rule I’ve ever committed myself to when I’m around you. And I don’t know what the hell that means for next week when I’m back to spending sixty hours a week at the school. With kids, with parents, faculty. I don’t know how that’s going to work.”

“You won’t see me anymore,” I murmured, realizing it only at that second. The giant knot that formed in my throat surprised me. “I’ll be in the city and you’ll be here.” God, it sounded like torture already. With my cheek on his warm chest, I was glad that he couldn’t see the sudden distress on my face.

“I will. I need to.” Aaron’s arm tightened around me. I heard his sigh of content when I ran my hand up from his chest to his shoulder, finding the perfect crook in his neck for my head to lie. “I know what we do when we’re together may be the opposite,” he laughed quietly, “but things have never felt this right in my life. It’s like I was on autopilot for years and you finally woke me up. I remember what it’s like to want something. Someone.” His lips found the top of my head. “The fact that I get to have you feels too good to be true. I love my job, but I’m not going to let go of this feeling.”

I swallowed. “You won’t love your job if your students and your coworkers find out about me.”

“Then I won’t let them.”

I let my hands curl up into his hair as I tipped my face upward, smiling when he immediately turned his head to kiss my lips. “Well,” I murmured against his warm mouth, returning his sweet kiss. “We still a week left of summer. Let’s have as much fun as we possibly can before it’s time for you to be Mr. Cole again.”

r /> “Where are you going?”

Kelsey poked her head into my bedroom as I pulled every swimsuit and summer dress from my drawers, tossing them all in the general vicinity of the straw tote I had open between my freshly pedicured feet. They were the seashell color I hoped to be seeing a lot of soon.

The girls would be picking me up soon and I could hardly contain my delirious excitement. With Linh and Mike confirmed to attend, Aaron had easily accepted my invitation to the Todos Santos weekend in the Hamptons. Since Linh wanted to ride with us girls in Em’s rental, Aaron decided to ride up to the house with Mike.

“Tell me where you’re going,” Kelsey whined when I didn’t answer her right away. I was wondering whether or not I should tell the truth about my whereabouts, especially since they involved Aaron. She rolled her eyes. “Okay, let me guess,” she sighed. “You’re going to the Hamptons with the Todos people and you’re afraid of telling me because I might get jealous that you didn’t invite me.”

I paused, holding my white crochet dress in my hands. “It wasn’t that, I was just —”
