“I’m willing. I’m able. I’m all in. You’re all I’ve always wanted, and you are worth the fight to see where this takes us. I just need you to do one thing if you want a life with me and Ben.”
I swallowed the lump in my throat, because I knew what she was going to ask of me. “What do you need me to do?”
“Go with me to the counselor. You don’t have to talk to him alone, but will you go with me? Please.”
In that moment, something changed inside me. Staring into her blue eyes, I got a glimpse of what my future could be like with this woman by my side. An open field with Ben running back to catch a football as I tossed it into the air. The moment he caught it, Willa cheered, and I turned to see her with one arm up in celebration and her other hand on her swollen belly.
I wanted that vision. I wanted that life. I wanted—no. No, I needed her love.
“Yes.”
Willa’s mouth fell open slightly as she repeated, “Yes?”
I pulled her to me, and she settled her legs on either side of mine as I turned and leaned against the back of the sofa. “Yes, I will go with you, and I think it’s probably best if I have some sessions alone with him too. There are some things I don’t think I’m ready to share with you. I might not ever be able to share them with you, Willa.”
She cupped my face in her hands and leaned in closer. “And I’m okay with that. I love you, Aiden O’Hara.”
“God, I love you so much more.”
The moment her lips pressed to mine, I knew the talking was done. I needed to feel my body against hers. Even if we didn’t make love, I needed to feel her skin on mine.
I reached for her shirt and pulled it over her head, letting out a moan when I realized she wasn’t wearing a bra. “Fuck, Willa.”
She grinned, pressed down on me, and wiggled her ass, making my cock even harder.
“I thought we were talking,” I managed to say as she started to unbutton my shirt. When she pushed it off my shoulders and bent down to kiss my chest over my heart, I dropped my head back and almost blurted out a marriage proposal.
“We did talk,” Willa said. “We had a good talk. Now, I think we’ve talked enough. I’ve missed you, and what I would really love is for you to take me to my bedroom and make love to me.”
A low, rumbled growl came from the back of my throat as I placed my hands on her ass and stood. She let out a little squeal, and I quickly made my way to her bedroom.
“From now on, my job in this life of mine is to make you happy,” I said, dropping her onto her bed and watching her rush to take off her sweatpants.
With a wicked smile, she purred, “It’s time to go to work then, Mr. O’Hara.”
Willa
I watched as Aiden stripped off his clothes and crawled toward me. My pulse raced with excitement to finally have him back in my bed, back with me. I was still a bit stunned that he’d agreed to go talk to someone, but I wasn’t going to overthink it right now. The only thing I wanted was to be with him. To feel him inside of me.
It was clear that Aiden was going to take his time. Our first time together had been heated and passionate. Now, Aiden was showering my body with attention from both his hands and his lips. Each time he kissed me, my skin tingled from the contact and I burned hotter.
“More,” I gasped as I grabbed my bedspread. “Aiden, more.”
He chuckled, dipping his tongue into my belly button and then moving farther down. “I plan on going slow, Willa, so you’re going to have to be patient.”
“I can be…oh God!” I cried out when his tongue flicked my clit ever so lightly before he slowly took his time tasting me.
“I’m simply enjoying my dessert right now.”
Jerking my head back and forth, a small whimper slipped from my lips. “Oh please. Please. Please!”
I had never in my life begged a man to give me oral sex. As a matter of fact, Aiden was the first and last man who would ever be so intimate with me. I pushed my fingers into his short hair and tried to pull his face closer.
“Tell me what you want me to do, sweetness.”
I groaned. “I can’t. Just do it!”
A low chuckle came from between my legs as Aiden blew more hot air on my throbbing clit. “Tell me.”
Squeezing my eyes shut, I said, “Kiss me.”
“Where?”
I jerked my hips up. “There. Here. You know where!”
