him.
Aidan exhaled in a rush. He moved back, until he was sitting on the end of the bed, and Stella was displayed there in front of him. For a moment, she felt a tremor of self-consciousness. She’d never done anything like this before, but the way he was looking at her, drinking her in with such fever in his eyes, it made her feel bold.
Slowly, she teased the sleeves lower on her shoulders, peeling the dress down to reveal the silk and lace of her bra.
Aidan clenched the covers with his fists as Stella did a slow pirouette, peeling the dress lower.
Displaying herself to him.
Her pulse was racing overtime with the thrill of it. Watching as his breath became more labored. Seeing how he looked at her; the reflection of herself in his eyes.
She wasn’t just a mom, overscheduled and invisible. She wasn’t that practical, reliable emergency call; scruffy and scattered and mud-stained.
She was sexy. Powerful.
Desired.
The dress finally slithered all the way down her legs to the floor. Stella stepped out of it, and stood there in her lingerie. Aidan’s eyes roamed over her body, and Stella would have sworn she could feel them caressing every inch before they finally moved up to meet her gaze again.
The intensity she saw there stole her breath away.
She stepped closer, until she was standing just a few inches away from him, between his open legs. His shirt was unbuttoned, his tie askew, and Stella couldn’t help from reaching out and running her fingers through his tousled hair, tilting his face up towards her to steal a light, teasing kiss.
Aidan’s hands came around her waist, making her gasp. He leaned closer, his breath hot against her skin as he pressed a teasing kiss to her chest, his mouth grazing lightly over the fabric of her bra. Stella swayed, unsteady in his hands as he slowly licked his way across the silk, exploring the swirls off the lace edging, teasing her with an unbearably light touch.
“Do you like it?” she asked breathlessly. “I bought them especially for you.”
“I love them.” His voice was hoarse with desire, and sent another shiver down her spine.
“Now, take them off.”
She laughed, more alive than she could remember, poised there above him, making him weak. “Bossy,” she teased, trailing her fingertips over his lips. “Why don’t you do it for me?”
Aidan gave her a wolfish look, taking hold of the ribbon ties at the edge of her panties. “Be careful what you wish for.”
He tugged the ribbons, undoing them in a single motion. The scrap of silk fell to the floor – and Stella’s bra followed a moment later. Then she was naked.
Aidan just looked at her for a moment, as Stella’s heart raced with anticipation. Then he gave a groan and pulled her close, bending his head to her chest again. This time, there was nothing between his mouth and the delicious rush of sensation that raced across her skin. Stella gasped as he licked across her breasts, bringing her nipples into taut, aching peaks. She shuddered with pleasure, desire clawing higher inside her. She tried reaching for him, but Aidan gently captured her wrists and held them away from him. He lifted his head long enough to shoot her a heavy-lidded smile. “Later,” he rumbled. “I don’t want anything distracting me.”
“From what?” she asked, flushed and woozy.
“From this.”
Aidan’s hands slid down her thighs and gently parted them, until she was open and bared to him, inches from his face. She had to grip hold of his shoulder to keep her balance, just the sensation of his breath was enough to undo her, hot against her core.
Then Aidan licked against her, and she lost all track of space and time.
God, the sensation was incredible; his mouth and skillful fingers setting her ablaze with a maddening rhythm.
“Aidan,” she gasped, unsteady. “Oh God…”
He groaned against her, a sensual rumble she felt all the way to her core as his tongue kept up its sweet torment, lapping, and sucking, and driving her to heaven and back. Pleasure rose in her, sharp and sweet, and when her orgasm broke over her suddenly, Stella gasped in surprise. But even the rush of pleasure did nothing to quell her hunger; they tumbled back onto the bed, discarding what was left of Aidan’s clothing until he was naked, braced above her. Magnificent.
Stella closed her hand around him, loving the desperate glaze to his eyes. She guided him between her thighs, gasping as they came together.
