Chapter Thirteen
Aubrey
His scent filtered throughout the house. There was no escaping it. It had been a long night, and I was growing tired, so I decided that I wanted to take a bath.
“If it’s okay with you, I’m going to take a bath.”
“That’s fine. Do you need help?”
A smile escaped my lips as I lowered my head.
“I can manage on my own like I always do.”
“Okay. Do you need me to help you upstairs?” he asked.
“I can find my way,” I spoke as I headed towards the elevator. “Do you, by any chance, have any bubble bath?” I bit down on my bottom lip.
“As a matter of fact, I do. It’s in the corner of the bathtub by the faucet. Ingrid put a bottle of it there since it’s the guest bathroom. She said you never know when the mood would strike for a bubble bath.”
“Great. Thank you.”
Stepping into the bathroom, I started the water and felt around for the bottle of bubbles. Once I had it in my hand, I removed the cap and held it up to my nose, taking in the fruity scent. I undressed and carefully climbed into the bubbly water. Sinking down and closing my eyes to relax, I heard a knock on the bathroom door.
“I’m leaving a t-shirt on the bed for you to sleep in.”
“Thanks, Ethan. I appreciate it.”
“I’ll be downstairs in my office if you need anything.”
“Okay.”
I inhaled deeply, letting the fruity scent of the bubbles sedate me. He was so nice, and it was hard to imagine that people called him “The Iceman.” I had yet to see that side of him. Climbing out of the tub, I reached for the towel, wrapped it around me, stood in front of the sink, and removed my makeup with a cleansing cloth. Once I was finished, I went to the bedroom, walked over to the bed, and picked up the cotton t-shirt that Ethan had left me. As I slipped it over my head, my phone rang and alerted me that Penelope was calling.
“It’s about time you returned my call,” I answered.
“Sorry. I was with someone.”
“And who were you with?”
I could hear her swallow hard on the other end.
“This guy I met at the party. His name is Leo, and he’s brutally handsome, and we may or may not have had sex in the backseat of his car.”
“What?!” I exclaimed.
“Don’t judge me, Miss I just met Ethan and slept with him the next night.”
“Fine. I won’t judge, but I called to tell you there was a fire at my apartment building.”
“Oh my God! Are you okay?”
“I wasn’t home when it started, and I’m not sure what damage there is.”
“Where the hell are you?”
“I’m at Ethan’s house. He insisted I spend the night here since I couldn’t get hold of you or Ian.”
“Oh. I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be. I was going to go to a hotel, but he wouldn’t let me.”
“Hmm,” she spoke.
“What’s that ‘hmm’ for?”
“Nothing. Listen, I’m happy you’re safe, and I’m sorry I didn’t answer, but I have to go. Leo and I are heading back to my place.”
“Do you know anything about him?”
“As much as you knew about Ethan when you slept with him. Call me tomorrow.”
“I will. Love you.”
“Love you too, baby doll.”
I ended the call and made my way down to the Parlor level where Ethan’s office was.
“Are you in here?” I asked as I approached the doorway.
“Yes. How was your bath?” he asked.
“It was good and very relaxing.”
“I must say, Aubrey, you look really good in my t-shirt.”
I let out a light laugh. “Thanks. Would you mind telling me what color it is?”
I heard the rustling of his pants and soft footsteps as he approached me.
“How about you show me how that app works? The one that tells you the color of your garments.”
I pushed the app button and scanned my phone down the t-shirt. It alerted me that the color was black.
“That’s really cool,” he spoke. “Is it ever wrong?”
“God, I hope not.” I laughed.
He let out a chuckle as he lightly took hold of my arm.
“How about a glass of wine before bed?”
“I would like that.” I smiled. “If you don’t mind, I would like to lead you to the kitchen.”
“Be my guest.” He let go of my arm.
I pushed the button to the elevator, and once we stepped inside, I found the button to the Garden level and pushed it. The doors opened, and I stepped out, turning to the right and making my way to the kitchen.
“See.” I grinned. “No need to worry, Mr. Klein. I got this whole blind thing down.”
“I’m sorry, Aubrey. It’s just?—”
“It’s just you’ve never met a blind person before, and you can’t understand how we do the things we do. I get it. You’re not the only person who thinks that. I’m the same as you, Ethan. I can do everything you can do, and I can go to the same places you go. The only difference is I don’t have eyesight.”
“I know that.” He lightly placed his hand on the side of my face.
Taking in a sharp breath, my heart began to beat rapidly.
Ethan
While my hand stroked her cheek, my other clenched into a fist. I shouldn’t, but I couldn’t control myself, and I knew she wanted me too. I still had more of her body to explore, and the desire inside me was raging out of control. Not to mention my cock, which was getting hard just by looking at her in my t-shirt.
I leaned down, and my tongue softly glided over her neck. A light moan escaped her. She didn’t push me away as she brought her hands up to my head, and her fingers tangled through my hair. I picked her up, and her legs wrapped tightly around my waist. Carrying her to the elevator, I took her to her room, sat her on the bed, and pulled my t-shirt over her head. Kneeling down, I took her breasts in my mouth, one at a time, exploring them and gently wrapping my lips around her hardened nipples. Her hands roamed down my body as her fingers gripped the bottom of my shirt, pulling it up and over my head. Standing up, I removed my pants, kicked them to the side, and pulled the covers back. I was taking this slow with her because I needed to devour every inch of her body. I laid her back so her head rested on the pillow. Her hands planted firmly on my chest. I kept staring at her lips. Parted lips that were begging to be kissed. I was close as I leaned down and could feel the warm air that escaped them. But instead, I slid my tongue down her torso, circling her belly button as her tummy tightened and her back arched with pleasure. Slowly making my way down to her clit, my tongue made tiny teasing circles before sliding up and down her, taking in the wetness that was already there. Placing my hands on her inner thighs, I spread her legs wider and inserted my tongue in her opening. She was so beautiful, and her pussy was perfection. As my mouth devoured every inch of her swollen area, my hands reached up and played with her breasts. Her moans increased in loudness, and her body tightened around me as she came. I wasn’t finished with her yet as I plunged a finger inside, and my mouth made its way back up to her.
“I want you on top of me,” I whispered in her ear. “I want to watch that beautiful body of yours fuck me until I come.”
A smile crossed her lips as I climbed off the bed to get a condom. She grabbed my hand, and when I turned and looked at her, she spoke, “I’m on birth control, so you don’t need to use a condom.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m positive. I want to feel you and only you.”
I climbed into bed and pulled her on top of me, holding her naked body against me. She sat up and took hold of my rock- hard cock in her hand, stroking it up and down with a firm grip. Throwing my head back, I gasped at her touch. It was sensual, and I was about to explode. Hovering over me, she brushed her clit against the head of my cock before inserting it inside her, slowly pushing down until I was buried deep inside. She moved up and down me like a goddess and circled her hips, causing my arousal to heighten. Her pussy clamped around me as she moved back and forth in a perfect rhythm that sent shivers down my spine, and her wetness coated my cock with sheer delight. I fondled her breasts as she rode me, fingering her hard nipples and taking in the glorious sight before me. I’d never seen a more beautiful woman than I was seeing at that moment. Her hair fell over her shoulders, the upward curve of her mouth produced an exquisite smile, and her palms were firmly planted on my chest. Loud moans escaped us both as her movements became rapid. Her clit swelled against my cock, and she was about to come.
“Come for me, baby,” I panted. “As soon as you come, I will. I’m holding back for you.”
I grasped her hips and moved her back and forth against me, intensifying the pleasure for both of us. She howled as I felt the warmth pour from her, and my cock exploded while I held her still and strained to make sure I filled her with every last drop I had in me. She collapsed on my chest. Her breasts pressed firmly against me. Wrapping my arms tightly around her back, I held her, and we lay there until our heart rates slowed.
She rolled off of me and lay on her side, as did I. Bringing my hand to her cheek, I ran my finger down it and smiled. Even though I knew she couldn’t see my smile, I didn’t care.
“You were amazing,” I spoke.
“So were you.” She smiled.
I knew I needed to leave, but I didn’t want to just yet, so I lay on my back and pulled her into me, holding her tight.
“Can I ask you something?” I spoke.
“Of course.”
“You don’t seem upset about your apartment building. I thought maybe you’d be all stressed out or something, but you haven’t spoken a single word about it.”
“I’m okay. My aunt and the rest of the tenants are okay. Nobody was hurt, and that’s all that matters.”
“Aren’t you worried about your stuff? The damage to your apartment?”
“Not really. Those are all material things that can easily be replaced, and my apartment can be fixed. Everything will work out.”
The strength that this woman possessed amazed me. I lay there, staring up at the ceiling as my finger caressed her arm and the demons inside me tried to claw their way out.
“I guess I should go to my room now.”
There was silence—no response from her. I looked down and saw she was sound asleep, an angel worn out from the night's activities. I sighed, for I didn’t want to wake her. Maybe I’d just close my eyes for a while, and when I awoke, she’d have moved, and I could quietly leave.
