from Aunt and Uncle or the way Aiden is mad at me or my nightmares.
Or all the above.
But right now, I want him to hold me. I want him to lower himself once.
Just once.
I want him to be there for me.
I try to turn around, but he grips my head and slams my face down against the sofa.
“I want to look at you,” I murmur.
“And I don’t.”
“Aiden, please.”
“I might not seem like it but I’m so fucking mad at you right now.”
“I might not seem like it, but I need you so fucking bad right now.”
A beat of silence goes. Two.
Three —
Aiden slowly peels his hand from my hair and pulls back enough to turn me around.
I glance up at him through blurry eyes. I feel like a mess.
All of it is a freaking mess.
He pulls me in his arms and lies me on the sofa and then he’s hovering over me, pulling himself on his elbows to not crush me.
The look in his eyes is like nothing I’ve seen before. It’s full of hate, but at the same time, there’s that thing.
Something I’ve seen before. Something like… affection?
But Aiden doesn’t do affection, right?
I reach a hand and run my fingertips over the side of his eye and that mole I fell in love with the first time I met him.
His face tenses and his shoulders stiffen the more I touch him. He grabs my hand and slams it on the sofa above my head.
He seems on the verge of something. What, I don’t know.
“Aiden.”
“Stop.”
“Stop what?”
“Stop calling my name with that tone. Stop looking at me with those damn eyes and engraving yourself under my fucking skin.”
My heart beats faster. This means I’m affecting him, right?
“You want me to tell you something, sweetheart? Anything?” He grits out.
I nod once, unsure where he’s going with this. He thrusts deep inside me. I arch off the sofa with the force of it.
Holy shit.
I think I’m going to come right here right now.
“You’re lucky, Elsa. You’re so damn lucky I like you enough to fuck up everything for you.”
And then he claims my mouth in a passionate, rough kiss.
28
Elsa
I wake up with a moan.
My legs are open wide and I’m tingling with ecstasy.
Holy shit.
My eyes snap open to find myself in pleasure land.
Literally.
Aiden has his face buried between my thighs as my ankles dangle over his shoulders.
The only thing I see is a dark, tousled hair as he laps at my sensitive core.
“Oh…” My back arches off the bed as his wicked tongue glides up and down and thrust inside me.
He certainly knows how to drive me wild with that fucking tongue.
As if that isn’t enough, he adds a finger to the mix. I grip his hair, my fingertips digging into his skull.
Oh, God.
I can’t last when he does that double thing with his fingers and his tongue.
“Aiden…”
“Hmm, sweetheart?” The rumble of his husky voice against my most intimate part nearly throws me over the edge.
“Oh, God, don’t —” My voice catches in my throat when he nibbles on the sensitive skin.
He tugs at it with his teeth.
Soothes it with his lips.
Sucks it into his mouth.
I’m a goner.
An absolute goner for the orgasm he’s wrenching out of me.
I couldn’t speak even if I wanted to.
Aiden breaks the spell and lifts his head. A wicked grin animates his devilishly handsome face. He licks his glistening lips.
My breathing crackles.
“Don’t?” He wraps both hands on my legs over his shoulders.
“Don’t stop…” I pant as if I’m coming down from a marathon. “Don’t you dare fucking stop.”
“I love it when you demand your pleasure, sweetheart.” He smirks before he’s back to devouring me.
My eyes roll to the back of my head.
My whole body tingles, aching — no, begging — for that release.
Hell. He fucked me until I couldn’t move and he had to carry me to my room last night.
I’m also sore as shit, but I can’t resist his tongue, teeth, lips, and fingers.
The devil gives it all when he goes down on me.
It’s like I can’t get enough of him touching me hard enough or burying himself deep enough.
It’s not the sex that blows me apart, it’s his raw intensity.
The glint in his eyes, the tick in his jaw, and the diligence of his touch.
My heavy breathing fills the room. All I can smell is us.
Both of us.
I can’t sleep anymore without smelling him on the bed and amongst my sheets.
“You want me to make you come, sweetheart?” he speaks against my clit.
I nod, arching my
