“I’m not very good at being straightforward like that,” I admitted.
“Then that’s my condition,” he stated.
“What’s that?”
“If you have doubts, you tell me,” he said. “No more making stories up in your head. If you are wondering something about me, ask and I’ll tell you.”
“Deal.”
He pulled me closer to him tentatively. When I didn’t resist, he ran his hand up my arm, cupped my face, and placed his lips on mine. He was slow at first, but when I wrapped my hand around the back of his head, he opened his mouth and kissed me deeply.
My body became electrified, remembering the sensations he had brought to me in the past.
“Will you let me try to convince you?” he asked.
“Convince me?”
“I want you, Chloe,” Aiden said. He stroked my cheek with his thumb and stared into my eyes as he spoke. “I want to know I’ll have more days of waking up to you in my bed. I want to make you breakfast again. When I walk down the beach, I want you beside me, looking for seashells. I want you in my life, Chloe. I want to convince you that you want it, too.”
He kissed me again and again. I trailed my fingers up his arms, feeling the strength of the muscles there before landing on his broad shoulders. He pushed against me until I was lying beneath him on the couch.
“What do you think?” he asked.
I smiled up at him.
“I think I’d like that,” I said.
He smirked, his devilish grin reaching his eyes as they sparkled with life. He leaned in and brushed his lips over mine.
“Do you know what I’ve been thinking about all morning?” Aiden whispered against my lips.
“What?” I pressed my mouth against his, tasted his tongue with mine, and let my fingers slide through the short hairs on his cheek. He sucked my lower lip into his mouth and then trailed kisses over my chin and down my neck.
“I was thinking about how good it felt sliding my dick into you.” His breath was hot against my throat, but all the skin on my body warmed as he spoke. “I was wondering if you still liked watching my cock move in and out of you, like you did that first time we were together. I was thinking how good you look lying on your back underneath me when I come in you.”
I closed my eyes as he ran his nose up the side of my neck to my ear. My skin tingled as he took my earlobe between his lips and sucked at it gently.
“I’d love to spread your legs and taste you right now,” he whispered. “I want to make your clit sing with my tongue. I want to feel your legs shake as you come all over my face, and then I want to fuck you so hard and so fast you forget your own name.”
“Jesus, Aiden…”
He chuckled against my ear.
“You love that, don’t you? You love hearing all that dirty talk.”
“Stop teasing me,” I said with a groan.
“I’m not making a move,” he mumbled as he kissed down the side of my neck.
How in the world he didn’t consider all of this “a move” was beyond me. I felt like my skin was on fire. I grabbed his head with both of my hands and turned him to face me.
“Aiden Hunter,” I said as I stared straight at him, “make a move.”
His eyes twinkled.
“That’s what I needed to hear.” He slid his hand up to cup my breast over my shirt. “We’re going to have to do something about all this, though.”
He reached down to pull off my shirt, and I did the same to his. Our shorts and underwear quickly followed until everything was in a heap next to the couch. Aiden climbed back on top of me, straddling my waist.
