37. Chapter 37
Aurora supported me while I managed the horror of what had happened. She didn”t make a single demand. Held me whenever I managed to get a couple hours of sleep. Made sure I had coffee and food from room service.
I”d never had this kind of support before. Sure, I had people who worked for me, but never this intimate holding of hands. Someone saying, I”m here; just go do your thing.
I”d had crises before when we were together, but I”d never let Aurora in, never given her permission to be there for me. I didn”t know what I”d been missing.
”I have work tomorrow.” She stroked my cheek as we lay in bed facing each other.
”The plane will take you back.”
”I booked a flight,” she said amused.
”A commercial flight? Why?”
”Because that”s what normal people do.” She laughed. ”God, you”re cute, you know that?”
”Excuse me?” I growled. I liked it very much that she thought I was cute, no matter how untrue it was. No one who knew me would say that about me. Angry, yes. Asshole, yes. Grumpy, yes. Bossy, yes. Cute? No.
”The rest of the world doesn”t have private jets flying them around.”
”You”re mine; you”re not the rest of the world.”
”It”s more environmentally friendly. And I know you care about that.” There was a lightness in her eyes since she”d stepped on that plane, one that I recognized from when we”d first gotten together.
”Thank you for being with me this weekend. You made it so much easier to handle this shitshow,” I told her sincerely.
”I know you have to stay here for a few more days.”
”Yeah. I need to talk to my mom. Sophia is with me next week, and I don”t think I can get out of here until Tuesday.”
”I can take care of Sophia.”
She surprised me by saying that. ”Really?”
”Sure.”
I sighed. ”It”ll be complicated with school and everything if she has to go from your place, Aurora. I”m grateful and so glad—”
”I”ll stay at your place.”
After what had happened the last time she was there and how studiously she”d avoided being at my house, I knew this was a big deal. This was her way of saying she was all in.
”You”d do that?”
She nodded. ”She”s your daughter, and we”re getting along well, don”t you think?”
”She adores you.” Now that Iris”s hold on her had weakened, Sophia saw what I saw in Aurora, a kind, gentle, and loving woman.
”I like her very much.” She sighed then. ”The truth is Gabriel, loving you means loving your daughter. I love her. I know I don”t have the right. I barely know her, but it doesn”t matter; I just do and….”
How could a man get so lucky? I rolled her onto her back and lay on top of her, kissing her mouth. ”You”re amazing, you know that?”
”Gabriel?”
”Yeah, baby.”
”Make love to me.”
After months of wanting and not having, the invitation this time was from her heart and not only desire. I nuzzled her nose with mine. And without hesitation I leaned into her, pressed my mouth against hers, tasted her. I felt like a drowning man having been given a lifeboat.
Her soft lips parted, letting me in, and the tip of her tongue touched mine. We dueled with our tongues. A part of me wanted to hurry and remove her tank top and panties, get rid of my boxers, and enter her so the world would start to make sense again—but another part wanted to take it slow, indulge myself, feel her, soak her in.
Her hands tangled in my hair, pulling me down, and I bit her bottom lip gently, tugging it between my teeth. I couldn”t stop kissing her.
Her hips rose as I ground into her, letting her feel what she did to me.
Her moans became more urgent, and she pushed me, so I fell on my back. I laughed softly. She had never been the aggressor before.
”What do you intend to do with me?” I asked.
She kissed me and slid down my body, kissing my chest and then my stomach. Everything inside me tightened as she stroked me over my boxers.
”Gabriel.”
”Yeah, baby.”
”What do you want?”
”Right now?” I wrapped my hands in her silky hair.
”Yes.”
”Right now, it would be very nice, darlin”, if you could bring me out of my shorts and let me feel the back of your throat.”
She tried to move down, but I pulled the bottom of her body and arranged her thighs, so she straddled my face.
”God,” she groaned when I nuzzled against her pussy, smelling her.
”Baby, I”m not going to get you off until you suck me dry.”
Her thighs trembled, and I loved how sex with Aurora was always passionate and hot. I loved to see the Ice Maiden melt when she was with me. I felt her hands on my erection, and I slid the crotch of her panties aside so I could lick her.
”Gabriel,” she gasped.
I smacked her bottom. ”Get to work, woman.”
She half laughed, and half moaned at that. I felt her take me inside her mouth, and I lost control. I ripped her panties because they were in my way and latched onto her pussy. She was soaking wet, and I began to fuck her with my tongue, avoiding her clitoris as I held her thighs still so she couldn”t get what she wanted until I was prepared to give it to her.
I loved to edge her, and I used to until she was begging for me to let her come. I”d never done that with any woman before. They got off, and I was ready to go. But this woman made me want things I”d never wanted. I wanted complete submission from her. I didn”t want just her desire or passion; I wanted it all, heart, and soul.
She began to bob her head, as she tried to move her hips, but I wouldn”t let her. I knew it was driving her crazy because she was getting wetter.
As she brought her mouth down on me, I lifted my hips and pushed into her. As I hit the back of her throat, I suckled her clit.
She exploded and began to pump me faster with her hands and her mouth. I lapped at her, holding my orgasm off. I didn”t want to come in her mouth, and if I didn”t let her go, it would be too late.
I released her thighs and maneuvered her mouth away from my cock. She looked at me with hooded eyes, her mouth swollen. Fucking sorceress. I was under her spell.
”What?” she asked, half drugged on passion.
”The first time after all this time, I”m coming inside your pussy.”
I loved to take her from behind, but not this time. We”d do that for round two. This time, I settled atop her and pushed inside. I loved feeling her bare; it was more potent than any sex I”d ever experienced. The intimacy of not having any barriers was erotic as fuck.
She had an IUD that she”d gotten when we first began to have sex because pills didn”t work for her. Except for my ex-wife, I”d never been inside a woman without a condom and not for many years even with Iris, but I”d not wanted that with Aurora, even in the beginning when I didn”t know what we were. I”d asked her if I could not use a condom. To make her even more comfortable, I”d gotten tested and emailed my medical results to her, so she”d feel safe. She”d done the same for me, even though I hadn”t asked. I knew she hadn”t been with many men—considering the life she”d lived, she hadn”t had the time to date. I knew she”d had one long-term boyfriend in university. I hadn”t had indiscriminate sex, ever, unlike Beau—but I”d had my share, and yet I”d never felt this way before.
Maybe it was true that when you made love with a woman you loved, it was different—like fucking ”blow your head clear off” different.
I moved inside her almost painfully slowly, driving both of us a little crazy. She was more patient because she”d already come once, but I wanted it again; I wanted to feel her release when I was inside her. I wanted to feel the ripples of her cunt, wanted to hear her soft moans. I wanted it all back with her.
”Gabriel, more,” she whimpered, her hips rising every time I pulled away, chasing the fullness I gave her.
”Yeah?”
”Please,” she sobbed.
I was with her, every step of the way. I didn”t have any more control than she did.
”Harder, damn it,” she yelled.
She was always so soft-spoken that her cursing spurred me on. I lifted her hips and slammed into her. ”Like that, baby?”
”Yes,” she grunted.
”No one would ever believe the woman they see in meetings unravels quite so beautifully,” I muttered as I pumped in and out, knowing that it would end soon because I”d been dying for her for months. ”Fucking hell, Aurora. Say you love me.”
She smiled then, that sultry vixen smile that was mine and only mine. She never gave that to anyone else—and only in bed with me.
”I love you.”
I couldn”t hold it off any longer. ”Aurora, make yourself come. I can”t….”
I was losing control.
I felt her small hand encircle me so that each time I moved, I felt both her cunt and her hand, and each time I did, we jostled against her clitoris. We”d started to do this when I”d fuck her for a long time, wanting to be inside her. It made her wetter, hotter.
I felt her release moments before I lost control and let go.
I dropped like a bag of wet sand over her, unable to have a coherent thought. The first time this had happened with her, I had wondered how I”d lived my whole life without having sex this good, this incredible. Only with Aurora had I found this utter calm that came after release, this sense of belonging, of home.
I kissed her neck as I felt myself throb inside her, felt her aftershocks.
Her hands stroked my back, soothing, loving.
When I could, I raised myself on my elbows to look at her. She looked fucking amazing. Her hair was mussed. Her eyes were drowsy. Her lips were full and pouty. Her face was flushed.
”You look stunning,” I breathed. ”And thoroughly fucked.”
She giggled. She never did that ever except when she was with me. So many things we did together that were just for each other, because of one another. I”d almost lost this.
After I cleaned her up, we slept holding each other close, secure in the knowledge that I loved her as much as she loved me. It was almost too beautiful to bear.
