Chapter 21
Chapter Twenty-One
Sierra floated through her day, unable to stay focused during her lab, thoughts of Aodhan flitting every which way in her brain.
As a result, she very nearly burned her partner with the hydrochloric acid they were working with when she spilled their bottle of it mid-experiment.
Though she apologized profusely, her lab partner was less than enthusiastic, and Sierra knew she probably wouldn’t be willing to work with her again.
Ah well, that was future Sierra’s problem.
Sierra’s mind drifted just as much, if not more, during the following lecture, making her feel like a high school girl again.
Sierra wasn’t a virgin by any means, but she hadn’t been this consumed by the thought of sleeping with a guy, or almost sleeping with a guy, in years.
She wished now that she had some kind of best girlfriend because she would love to text her and get her thoughts on the entire situation.
Sierra briefly thought of texting Aodhan to get Kaye’s number, but then realized it was too new of a friendship for that kind of conversation just yet.
Sierra must not have been the only one wishing they had spent more time together the night before, because when Sierra exited her classroom after her lecture, she found Aodhan leaning up against the wall outside, his eyes trained on the door she had just exited.
“Aodhan!” she said, her voice conveying her shock as it rose to a higher pitch than usual. “What are you doing here?” Although she was shocked, this didn’t stop a smile from spreading across her face.
Aodhan’s dark eyes bore into hers as he stepped closer, forcing Sierra back, her spine pressed up against the brick wall, his palms flat on the wall by her sides. “I couldn’t stay away.” Sierra had never heard a man growl, but the tone was definitely one that she would consider a growl.
Sierra looked around at the rapidly emptying hallway, trying to keep her cool. “I see. Didn’t you have plans today?”
“No, I had been planning to spend some time at home today, but I missed you too much.” His lips ghosted over her jawline, and Sierra felt her blood begin to sizzle.
After how he had cared about her the night before, her body was definitely ready to take this to the next level.
Sierra just hoped her mind would allow it to happen.
With another glance at the hallway, Sierra knew she would never be comfortable enough to kiss him back here. “We need to go somewhere else,” she whispered as Aodhan trailed kisses up and down her neck.
Aodhan didn’t stop his kissing as he replied, “Where would you like to go, mo grá?”
“Somewhere…more private,” Sierra whispered. She didn’t want to say her apartment because suddenly that felt very far away, but she knew she didn’t want to stay in the hallway either.
Aodhan’s green eyes connected with hers, fire flickering within their depths. “I have an idea.”
Aodhan tucked his hand under her arm and started leading her out of the lecture hall. Sierra thought maybe he was taking her to her apartment after all, when he suddenly made a turn and headed toward the library.
“What’s this idea?” Sierra gulped. The last thing she wanted to do right now was run into Tyler.
“You’ll see,” Aodhan replied, not calming her fears any.
Aodhan led her through the front doors of the library, but before anyone could see them, he took a sharp right, leading her down the stairs to the microfilm area.
Sierra was about to argue that they shouldn’t be down here, when Aodhan stopped in front of a door and pushed it open, pulling Sierra in behind him.
Inside the room, it was pitch black, and Sierra reached out her hand to see if she could feel where they were, but her hand encountered nothing. She heard the click of a button lock engaging behind her and assumed Aodhan was locking the door.
“It’s one of the microfilm storage areas,” Aodhan explained, pulling her body into his and resuming his trail of kisses. “I found it during one of my hunts for texts.”
“Isn’t there someone down here to monitor?” Sierra asked hesitantly, as the fire in her lower stomach resumed its burning.
“Not today. I came in looking for some stuff this morning, and Mona said Carl is out sick.”
Sierra nodded as his lips made their way along her jaw, and his hands slid around her back to cup her ass, giving it a squeeze. Sierra let her messenger bag slip from her shoulder, coming to rest on the floor with a soft thump.
“And I was thinking, we might keep the light off, so you feel more comfortable,” he explained in a rough whisper, as he kissed the corner of her mouth.
Sierra’s heart warmed at the fact that he was thinking of what would make her feel best. And he was right, she liked the idea that he couldn’t see her in the dark, and she wouldn’t have to worry that he might stare.
Instead of answering with words, she pressed her lips to his, one of her hands coming to rest on his shoulder, the other sliding down to his waistband.
Aodhan slid his hands under her shirt, resting them on her sides. “Is it okay if I take off your shirt now?”
“Yes,” Sierra replied, glad he was asking for permission and not assuming. In one smooth motion, Aodhan tugged both her undershirt and sweater over her head, leaving her in her bra and jeans. As soon as her head was free from the sweater, Aodhan’s lips met hers again.
“Can I take off your shirt?” Sierra whispered when they paused.
“Please,” Aodhan groaned, as Sierra slid her hands under his shirt. She wasn’t nearly as smooth as he had been, but then the cloth between them was gone, and Sierra ran her greedy hands over the muscled plane of Aodhan’s chest.
Aodhan’s hands rose to do an exploration of their own, running over the cups of her bra where Sierra was sure he could feel her nipples poking into them from below. “Can I take this off too?”
“Mm-hmm,” Sierra replied, as one of his hands snaked behind her back and undid the clasp in one fluid motion.
“If you start to feel uncomfortable, tell me, and we can stop.” Aodhan’s voice was husky as one of his hands cupped her breast, and he ran his thumb over the nipple.
“I think…I think I’m ready for this now, Aodhan, really,” she breathed into the darkness. “But I will tell you if that changes.”
Aodhan returned his lips to hers, the darkness around them seeming to amplify the intense sexual tension between them.
Sierra’s hand lowered, rubbing the front of his jeans where she could feel his very large erection beneath his zipper.
If it was even possible, Sierra felt herself becoming more aroused.
Aodhan’s breath caught as she continued to rub him. “I want you more than I’ve ever wanted any other woman. I want you to know that,” he said with a groan, as she continued her ministrations.
“Are you sure you’re not just saying that to get into my pants?” Sierra teased, enjoying the feel of Aodhan’s thumb circling her nipple.
“I promise, I’m not,” Aodhan replied. “You are the most attractive woman I’ve ever met.”
Somehow, Sierra highly doubted that, but she didn’t want to ruin the moment with an argument, so in response she reached for the button on his jeans.
“Wait,” he said, moving her hand away. Sierra heard rustling, but before she could figure out whether or not he’d removed his pants, she felt his lips enclose around her nipple.
At the same time, his hand connected with the opening of her jeans, rubbing the heel of his hand against her clit through the cloth barrier.
He continued this for a few moments before his fingers lifted to undo the button on Sierra’s pants, followed by the zipper, and then slowly, he pushed them down her legs.
Sierra put her hands on Aodhan’s shoulders for support as she stepped out of her pants.
Sierra realized that this must’ve been part of Aodhan’s plan because it put her nipple right next to his mouth, and he quickly sucked it in, teasing the hardened tip gently with his tongue.
Sierra expected Aodhan to stand back up, but instead he sat with his legs out in front of him, pulling Sierra onto his lap so that she was straddling him with her knees on either side of his thighs. She felt her bare skin against his, realizing he had indeed taken his pants off earlier.
He pulled her mouth to his, his erection pressed between their bodies. Sierra reached down and began to rub him up and down gently, causing him to moan.
Aodhan kept one hand on Sierra’s hip to keep her in place while the other ventured into her underwear as he ran his finger up and down her slit gently.
“And here I was worried you wouldn’t be ready,” he whispered in her ear teasingly, as he began to gently apply pressure to her clit. Enjoying the feel of his fingers, Sierra began to move, pressing herself down on his hands to increase the pressure.
It usually took Sierra a while to orgasm, especially the first time she had sex with a guy, so she was surprised a few minutes later when she felt her orgasm beginning to build without needing several minutes of foreplay.
“I’m getting close,” she whispered, but Aodhan didn’t answer, he just continued the pressure, bending his head down to suck on her nipple.
Within moments, Sierra was falling over the edge as waves of pleasure pulsed through her body. As soon as her orgasm finished, she collapsed against Aodhan, panting hard.
“Mmm,” he breathed in her ear, nibbling on her earlobe. “That was hot.”
As soon as she caught her breath, Sierra moved her hand to his boxers, pushing them out of the way so his cock could spring free.
Without hesitating, Sierra wrapped her hand around his cock and began pumping him.
He was so large that even with both of her hands, she didn’t quite cover his entire dick.
She was so ready to feel him inside her, but suddenly, her medical schooling came to the front of her mind.
“Do you have a condom?” she asked.
