Chapter 31
Chapter Thirty-One
Aubrey
It had been a month since Ethan and I started officially dating. We traveled back and forth between my apartment and his townhouse. I had gotten to know Ingrid and immediately fell in love with her. My Aunt Charlotte was not thrilled when I first told her about us, but the more Ethan was around and the more she got to know him and saw how happy he made me, the easier it was for her to accept him.
Waking up to him every morning was the highlight of my day. Those three little words had yet to escape both of our lips. I loved him, and I was sure he loved me. He just hadn’t said it, and I wasn’t going to push him. He hadn’t had a nightmare since we’d been together, which was good. Dr. Perry told him that since he let his emotions and feelings for me come full force, the pain he carried around all these years about Sophia began to fade away slowly. The sweetest thing he had done for me was his company created an app that would help visually impaired people navigate their way through large buildings. It was amazing, and I was the first one to test it out. Ethan was not only happy that it helped me significantly, but he was also happy because Apple paid his company billions of dollars for it.
As I was sipping my morning coffee, Ethan walked over to me, hugged me, and kissed me goodbye.
“My flight doesn’t get in until nine o’clock tonight. I’ll come right here from the airport.”
“Okay. Have a safe trip.”
“Oh, before I go, I have something for you.” He handed me a small box with a bow tied around it.
“What’s this?” I smiled.
“Open it and find out.”
After untying the ribbon, I removed the lid from the box and took out what was inside, feeling the fabric in my hands.
“Is this something sexy?” I grinned.
“Yes, and when I get home tonight, I expect you to be wearing it for me.”
“It would be my pleasure, Mr. Klein.” I reached up and kissed his lips.
“Oh, you’re going to be getting a lot of pleasure when I get back. I have to run, baby.” He kissed me one last time before walking out the door.
Ethan
I had a meeting with Dr. Marchetti, the head and lead surgeon of the ophthalmology department at Massachusetts General Hospital. He was the best in the world and had agreed to meet with me regarding Aubrey.
“Welcome, Mr. Klein. Please have a seat.”
“Thank you, and please, call me Ethan.”
“What can I do for you, Ethan?” he asked as he took a seat behind his desk.
“I heard about your breakthrough in being able to restore a blind person’s eyesight.”
“Yes. We have had some success. May I ask why you’re asking?”
“My girlfriend lost her eyesight from a car accident when she was eight years old, and she’s been permanently blind ever since.”
“How old is she now?”
“She’s twenty-five.”
“Hmm. Do you know what caused it? Brain trauma or direct impact to the eyes?”
“To be honest, I don’t know. I came to you with the hope that you might be able to help her see again.”
“In order to answer that, I’ll need to view her medical file from the accident, and for that, I’ll need her written consent.”
“She doesn’t know I’m here. I didn’t want to get her hopes up if there wasn’t a possibility you could help her.
“I see. And you say this happened seventeen years ago?”
“Yes.”
“Let me do some research, and I’ll give you a call. There are a couple of possibilities as to why she lost her sight after the accident.”
Getting up from my chair, I extended my hand. “Thank you, Dr. Marchetti.”
“No problem, Ethan.” He lightly shook my hand. “Talk to your girlfriend about this and have her sign a form so I can get her medical records. With today’s technology, I’m sure we’d be able to help her. I’ll be in touch in a couple of days.”
“Thank you. I look forward to hearing from you.”
I arrived at Aubrey’s apartment a little after ten o’clock. Inserting my key, I opened the door and headed straight to the bedroom. I had been thinking about her all day in that black nightie with the matching silk string panties. She was going to look delicious in it, and I couldn’t wait to devour every inch of her.
I had my reasons for contacting Dr. Marchetti. One of them is if there were a chance Aubrey could get her eyesight back, that would be incredible for her. I wanted nothing more than for her to be able to see the world as an adult and also to see me. Even though I hadn’t told her that I loved her yet, I did. And to be honest, I didn’t really know why I hadn’t. To me, it was the final commitment in our relationship. I mean, I was one hundred percent committed to her, but there was still a fear inside me that was holding me back.
Walking into the bedroom, I found her lying on her side, her hand on her cheek and a smile on her face. She looked so sexy that instantly, my cock rose to the occasion without warning.
“It’s about time you got home,” she spoke.
After removing my tie, I unbuttoned my shirt and slid it off. As I walked slowly towards the bed, I kicked off my shoes, then unbuttoned my pants and slid them down.
“I missed you.” I climbed on the bed and kissed her lips.
“I missed you too. How was your trip?”
“We can talk about that later. We have other business to attend to first.”
She lay on her back as my fingers traced the outline of her cleavage first before traveling down the silk fabric of her nightie and reaching the top of her panties. She gasped as my hand slid down the front of her and to her slick lips, which were already drenched with pleasure. Dipping my fingers inside her, she gasped, and I kissed her mouth softly, nipping at her bottom lip and teasing her while I explored her insides. I needed to go down on her. Nothing gave me more satisfaction than tasting the sweetness of excitement that emerged from her. I pushed up the silk fabric of her nightie slightly and let my tongue explore her torso, kissing and licking every inch of it. Climbing off the bed, I got down on my knees and lightly pulled her towards me. Hooking my fingers into the sides of her panties, I slid them down and delicately touched her while I licked up her inner thigh. The soft moans that escaped her and the trembling of her skin under my touch had me wanting to explode.
My tongue made its way up her thigh, over her lips, and to her already swollen clit that was begging to be caressed by the tip of my tongue. With each flick, she let out soft sounds of pleasure that heightened when my finger dipped inside her. Grasping the comforter with her hands, her body tightened as she orgasmed. Climbing on top of her, I placed my cock at her entrance and thrust inside as I could no longer wait. Being inside her was what I had waited for all day. I stared into her eyes as I moved rapidly in and out of her, my cock coated with her wetness. There was nothing I wanted more than to have her eyes look into mine and see me. To see the expression on my face as I made love to her, talked to her, and how I reacted when she walked into a room. I wanted her to see how I looked at her every day and how she made me smile.
The buildup had come as I thrust in and out. She was ready to come with me and that made me a happy man.
“Come with me, baby,” I panted.
Her legs tightened themselves around my waist as I felt her orgasm, making my cock explode inside her. I leaned down and passionately kissed her before collapsing down to regain my breath and calm my racing heart. Rolling off and onto my side, I ran my hand through her hair.
“Whew. Are you okay?” I asked.
“I’m great.” She smiled as we scooted off the bed and climbed under the sheets.
I pulled her tightly into me and kissed the top of her head. I was exhausted but not too exhausted to talk to her. We lay there in silence for a moment, me softly stroking her arm and her lightly running her hand across my chest as her head lay against it.
“Do you ever wish you could see again?” I asked.
“Sometimes. Why do you ask?”
“I just wondered if you ever thought about it. I mean. Isn’t it something all visually impaired people think about?”
“I’m sure they do. It would be nice to see the ocean, the blue sky again, and what snow looks like.”
“Believe me, that shit is best unseen.” I chuckled.
She giggled and then said something that really hit my heart hard.
“Sometimes when I know I’m facing a mirror, like when I dry my hair or put on my makeup, I’ll just stand there, and even though everything in my world is black, I wish I could see what I look like now that I’m an adult.”
“You’re beautiful, Aubrey. In fact, you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.”
“Ethan, I do believe you may be a little biased since I’m your girlfriend.”
“No, sweetheart. I thought that when I first saw you in the art gallery. I was mesmerized when I turned around and saw you standing there.”
Her lips pressed firmly against my chest.
“Thank you.”
I tightened my grip around her. Now that I got that question out of the way, I could relax a little. I had no doubt that if Dr. Marchetti could help her, she’d jump at the chance to let him.
