Chapter 24 Aiden
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
AIDEN
I open my eyes and smile seeing the gorgeous idiot next to me with his eyes on me. “Creep.”
“I wanted to watch and make sure you weren’t going to up and leave on me.” I roll over toward him, gathering him against me and kissing the top of his head.
Sawyer’s arms go around me instantly.
“No,” I say.
He kisses me.
“Not going anywhere.”
“Yeah, well. You may rethink that.”
“Why?”
“Because Jamie and Noah invited me to Sunday dinner at Jamie’s mom’s house. They’re celebrating their engagement and I’m going.”
“Well . . .” I nod. “Have fun with that.”
Sawyer laughs. “And you’re going with me.”
“Weird. I had plans to stay naked in this bed all day. Kind of wanted you to be here too, but I’ll enjoy the solitude.”
“You’re coming.” He blinks at me flatly. Dammit, he’s cute.
“Is this what being your boyfriend’s going to be like?”
“Worse.” He grins wider. White teeth, bright smile, face like the sun as it shines on me. A little slice of light warming up my world.
And I will fuck it up. It’s only a matter of time.
For now, I’ll shove it away. He lifts up, reaching over me to grab my phone and swiping it open with no problem. I don’t have a password. No reason to. “What are you doing?”
“Putting their address in. You’re taking me. We’re going to have a great time. Lia will love you. Then you’re going to bring me home and I’m going to spend the night putting my mouth on various parts of your body.” He kisses my nose. “If you’re a good boy at dinner.”
“That sounds awful.” I smirk. “I’m feeling smothered already.”
Sawyer grabs me, pulling me against his warm chest. I place a hand in the center and enjoy the way his tan skin feels under my fingers.
“I’m going to smother the shit out of you.”
“I’m really going to hate that.” I wrap my arms around him. I don’t want to get up. This feels so happy and new.
All the people around me formed connections. Even Koda’s had his share of silly relationships. But I’ve never liked anyone as a friend, let alone something more. He, she, they . . . It didn’t matter to me.
I didn’t want any of it.
With him, I just want everything.
And when he leaves me, because he will, I don’t think I’ll want it ever again. It’s taken me this long to find him, and I could go the rest of my life feeling these moments and keeping myself happy. I don’t want any of it if it’s not with him.
“I need to shower,” I say.
“You want company?”
I nod. He leans in, kissing me slowly, and I give in to the weight of his body as he moves on top of me between my thighs. My hands smooth along his spine. I don’t ever want to leave this bed. He begins to kiss a path down my chest, but I’ve had enough of letting him take care of me.
I stop him.
He looks confused until I turn the tables and press him down onto his back in this bed. Then I look up and fit myself between his thighs. He rarely wears anything but briefs while we’re here alone, and I thank him for that simple kindness.
His skin is flawless. Soft. Sweet smelling. The hard lines of his stomach like a map I can travel my tongue across. So I do that, pressing kisses down his chest before taking a nipple between my teeth. His back arches, his fingers playing in my hair.
I smile. I can’t help it.
I do that a lot lately.
My lips press like a slow crawl down his chest, his ribs, the center line of his stomach, before they brush across the hair just above his briefs.
I’ve never sucked a cock before, but my mouth is watering.
It’s weird to me how I’ve never thought about this once in my life.
Now it’s all I think about. The hood of my car.
The back seat. All these things I haven’t thought to dream of are now playing in rotation in my mind.
When I close my eyes, all I see is him.
When I open them, he’s here.
I’ve had a lot of dreams, fantasies, and wishes over the years, but none have ever conjured something as sweet as him.
“Can I?”
Glassy bright eyes watch me. He nods fast and lifts his hips, allowing me to slip his briefs down his thighs. His cock lies hard against his stomach.
He’s so fucking beautiful.
I press a kiss next to his cock, then slide my lips along his belly until I’m buried in his pubes, inhaling his delicious scent.
He’s driving me insane. I look up, soft at first, and give him a tiny lick just under his head. His lips part as he nods, his hand resting on his stomach.
“Go ahead, Aiden. Wrap those sexy lips around my cock.”
I kiss again, lower. I have no clue what I’m doing. I wonder if he can tell. “You have a pretty dick.”
I feel his laugh, his stomach flexing with it. “Pretty?”
“Fucking beautiful.” I nose along his skin. It’s addictive.
“Hey,” he whispers. I look up as he lifts, cupping my face. “Look at me while you do it.” He presses a kiss on the bridge of my nose then lies back down.
I grab his cock and meet his eyes as I lean in and suck his head into my mouth.
Oh my fucking god.
I watch him as I bob my head, slowly indulging in the soft velvet feel of his cock in my mouth. He tastes incredible. “Yeah, baby.” He bites his bottom lip, his dark eyes drunk on me. I realize I’m just tasting, not doing anything other than savoring him. I pull off.
“Sorry. You taste so good.”
Sawyer grins like the devil. “You want to warm my cock, baby?”
“What?”
“Lie here just sucking me slowly. Just tasting me.” He grins wider. It makes his eyes crinkle at the corners. It’s so pure and beautiful. So much happiness. “I’d have my cock in that pouty mouth while I work. Sucking me slow. Getting your fill.”
Oh, fuck yeah.
I know we have things to do today, but right now I just want to make him come. I suck him slowly, testing different speeds and movements. I flick my tongue along the prominent vein on his cock and watch him shudder while I trace it with my tongue.
His legs draw up. “My balls, baby.” He palms his sac. “Pull them a little while you suck me.”
I cup them in my hand, giving them a squeeze, and watch him groan, back arching as I take him down, choking on his length.
“Aiden,” he moans, legs spreading wider.
“Fuck, baby.” His fingers tease and wind through the hair on the back of my head.
I watch him, although his eyes aren’t on me.
He’s too busy moaning, eyes pinched shut as I suck him.
His thighs are quaking, the muscles bunched just underneath his soft skin. He’s so fucking beautiful like this.
Is this what he sees when he does this to me?
Probably not, because I can’t imagine a more beautiful sight than this man in my mouth. “Aiden, I’m close. Holy fuck, your mouth. Hot fucking mouth.” He groans. Then he looks up. Glassy dark eyes. My own night sky.
I suck him harder and watch his chest rise and fall fast with every rough suck of my mouth. He shudders, stomach muscles tightening.
Something is happening.
Something deep.
Something that scares me in the best way.
“Aiden, I’m gonna . . . Fuck, I’m gonna . . .” His head slams back onto the pillow, back arching, hips punching up into my mouth as I drink his sweet cum. “Holy f-fuck,” he pants, grabbing my head and pushing me off him.
He sags when he’s spent. Then he looks at me and I think I might die.
He’s destroying me.
Everything I’ve built. Everything I am.
He’s killing it all and I’m too weak to stop him.
“Good?”
His eyes blow wide. “Good?” He laughs. “ You’re lethal and you have no fucking idea. Come here, baby.” He grabs for me to crawl up his body, his eyes going dark as I hover over him.
“Give me your mouth.”
Confused for a moment, he opens, and my tongue plunges into his mouth, pushing his release into it as he groans, pulling me down and mashing our lips together. He hums with a moan, careful of my wounds as he grabs me. “Dirty boy.”
He licks the corner of my lips.
“Yeah?” I feel proud. I don’t know why.
“Yeah.” He kisses my face. “But you’re not getting out of Sunday dinner.”
Sawyer tests the water then looks to the side. “Shit. Uh, do you mind grabbing us towels. Right in the hall closet on the left. Bottom shelf. There’s some extra.”
“Yeah.” I walk out into his hall then open the closet and reach into the bottom shelf, freezing.
What?
I get down on my knees and look inside the shelf.
I pull out the elephant.
Are my hands shaking or is it vibrating?
I want to lie or trick my mind. It’s not the one I’m looking for. It’s just a different sculpture that’s all. Still, it’s unmistakable. Cobalt blue, gold filigree, red unnerving eyes. Ugly as fuck.
Why is it down here?
Why is it so ugly? What the hell could Ivan possibly want with this thing?
“The fuck.” I nearly jump out of my skin.
“Sorry.” He places a hand on my lower back. “Didn’t mean to scare you.”
“It’s okay.” I laugh.
“That’s my mom’s. It’s hideous, but she insisted I have it. I forgot it was down there. You can leave it out. I guess I should display it somewhere.”
I swallow with shaky fingers. Take it. Take it and run. Put it somewhere you can easily grab it. I don’t know what to do. It’s here. Right here. I can do it.
“Aiden?”
“Huh?”
“Are you okay?”
“Oh um, yeah.” I laugh, and I hand him the elephant and grab two towels. “More tired than I thought.” Sawyer kisses me as I pass him. My mind is reeling. I don’t know what to do. I follow him out to the kitchen and watch him place it on his counter. “Where did she get that?”
He shrugs. “I don’t know, but she kept it in her bedroom.
She was obsessed with this thing, I have no idea why.
It’s ugly, right?” I nod. It looks like it got caught in a radiation pool.
It’s melting. Its eyes lopsided. What the fuck could Ivan possibly want with it? There’s no way this has any value.
Is he fucking with me?
Sawyer grins, looping his arms around my waist. “Come on. I want to wash my beautiful terrible boyfriend.” I drag my eyes away from the elephant to look at him. He places a kiss on my chest.
His face scrunches at the same time I smell it.
“What’s that?” I say.
