Chapter 46 #2
My eyes feasted on her body and in one swift movement, I was over her, pounding into her, making her squeal in time with my thrusts as she moved against me.
“I need...” Rose trembled, the gyrating of her hips increasing before suddenly stilling as she let out another wail of pleasure and then she spasmed fiercely.
I held her through it, peppering her face with kisses, moving against her and enjoying her walls clench around me. Then I came inside of her, a guttural groan torn from my lips as I gripped her in my arms, wanting to hold her against me forever.
Completely spent, I fell back in the bed, hauling Rose into my chest. She allowed herself to fit against my side, her head coming to rest on my chest. My hand idly buried itself in her curls.
Rose’s POV
It wasn’t until much later that I tilted my head to look up at Aiden. He placed a gentle kiss on my nose.
“I don’t think I could have done this if we weren’t together,” I admitted gravely.
Aiden looked at Rose familiarly. “I know.”
“What would you have done?” I queried. “If we…weren’t together?”
“I would have kept using my hand,” he quipped, closing his eyes and reclining his head on the pillow under him.
I smacked his chest lightly. “I mean about the ceremony…about Dylan…”
Aiden shrugged, eyes still closed. “I wouldn’t have forced you to sleep with me, if that’s what you’re afraid of.”
“But you wouldn’t have asked me to…do this.” I pushed.
Aiden finally opened his eyes to peer at me. “Not unless it was something you wanted because you cared for me and wanted me.”
I let that information sink in. He would have risked his brother’s well-being. The thought didn’t sit right with me but I didn’t push the matter.
“Is it always like this?” I finally asked.
“I hope so.”
I was silent for a moment, pondering over that cryptic remark.
And then something started to niggle at the back of my mind.
Something I just had to ask him because if I thought back to the entire experience, it seemed like he’d been the one pleasuring me the whole time.
I’d barely moved, so caught up in the new sensations.
With a sinking feeling, I couldn’t help but think back to some of his old comments about how I didn’t know anything when it came to men’s desires.
“You don’t regret it do you?”
Aiden looked at me closely. And then I felt him trying to feel my emotions out. But my walls were back up. I wouldn’t let him inside my mind again. Not yet anyway. Not until I trusted him to not dig around where he didn’t belong. Aiden sighed in realization.
“Never.” He said the one word so fiercely that I gave a small start. His hand came up to intertwine with my hand on his chest. “This is where I’m meant to be,” he said the words into my ear, placing a kiss against my cheek.
“I just wish we’d realized everything sooner,” he admitted, his hand now going to smooth away the hair on my temple tenderly.
“If there’s anything I regret, it’s that I wasn’t with you sooner.
We would have been doing this long before now.
We would have been together sooner.” He brought his hand up to lightly trail down my side before coming back to comb through my hair.
He said the words honestly and sincerely, without the slightest bit of fear.
I sighed in contentment, tracing circles on his chest as his hands combed through my curls.
Later..much much later, Aiden stood from the bed after kissing me. He said he had to go have a meeting with his beta.I nodded keeping my eyes trained on his abs as he began to get dressed.
“If you keep looking at me like that, I might have to come back to bed.” Aiden joked.
“Then I guess I’ll have to keep looking at you,” I hummed, propping my head on my hand as I gazed at him with a mischievous smile.
Aiden grinned ruefully. “Later tonight?”
I sat up, hastily pulling the sheets around me since I realized I was naked. I felt my face flush red upon the realization that I had absolutely nothing to wear.
“Um…my..clothes,” I ended lamely.
Aiden raised an eyebrow. “What about them?”
I motioned to my clothing which lay in tatters now and then inclined my chin towards the door. I watched realization dawn on Aiden that I was definitely not walking out of his room naked.
“I…can you give me something from your closet to wear?” I looked down, noticing the red flush of embarrassment spread across my body.
Aiden smirked and got a key out from his dresser.
“I asked Mom for the key a few weeks ago,” he explained. “She was more than happy to tell me its location, along with some choice words about how I was finally thinking like a mate.”
He strode over to the door that connected our rooms, unlocking it with a small click.
“After you, madame.” He grinned wickedly.
“Oh..oh..that could work too.”
But did he really expect me to walk all the way across his room and into mine naked?
Swallowing audibly, I stood, clutching the bedsheet around me.
I walked by him, feeling self conscious of my curves straining against the bedsheet.
Right as I stepped into my room, a hand reached out giving my butt a light slap.
“Oh!” I exclaimed, turning on Aiden indignantly. “You...you planned that!”
Aiden gave a wolfish grin, reaching around to palm my butt cheek through the sheet's fabric.
“I couldn’t resist,” he said with a small grin.
He squeezed my butt.
It was then that I realized that the entire time he hadn’t been able to keep his hands away from my butt for long.
“You like butts?”
“I like your butt.” Aiden was still grinning and he squeezed my ass again from behind, pulling me intimately against him so that my butt nestled between his legs and my back was flush against his naked chest.
I felt his manhood through his boxers. In the blink of an eye, he had flicked the sheets away from me, pinning me against the wall.
Then he coaxed one of my legs to wrap around his waist before pulling at my other leg to follow suit.
“I’ll fall,” I breathed out, letting one foot stay firmly planted on the floor. .
“You won’t,” Aiden urged. His arms cupped my butt and he pushed me firmly into the wall. “I’ll hold you up.”
I was too heavy for him to hold up.
“Trust me,” Aiden said, an echo of his earlier words.
His erect cock poked into my thigh.
I faintly began to realize that Aiden had unheard of stamina when it came to sex.
I brought my hands to clasp around Aiden’s neck andlet my other leg come up so that my ankles were linked together behind his back. I felt my back push harder against the wall and his hands gripped my thighs, supporting me as he pushed into me.
It was deeper than he’d gone before and my thighs instinctively clenched around him from fear of falling.
“I won’t ever let you fall,” Aiden grunted into my ear as he thrust into me with a rhythm that made me think I might implode from the pleasure of it all. Finally, we came together with Aiden sinking down onto the ground, cradling me in his arms as we recovered together.
I winced as I walked down the stairs later that evening.
Muscles that had never been used before had been used quite…
vigorously. My thighs hurt, my calves were trembling, and even my abdomen was cramping just a bit.
In retrospect, I realized I would have never been able to do something like that with Aiden if we hadn’t cared about each other.
To be so close to another person, to have him inside of me… panting my name, me moaning his…
No, no…I could have never done it no matter how much back then I had told myselfI could manage casual sex.
No wonder Aiden had been adamant to not go that route.
It was wonderful to be with someone that cared about me.
Someone I knew loved me. And it was almost as if the entire world was engulfed in a splendorous glow around me in the aftermath of what we'd done together.
Or maybe everything had always been this vivid, butI was only really seeing the beauty around me now. Through new eyes.
Lorraine looked at me with a knowing smile when I sat down for dinner.
“Where’re Josie and the kids?” I inquired. They usually came over for meals. Who could blame them? Josie's cooking was just a disaster waiting to happen.
“Oh…Josie took some leftovers home with her when they came by earlier," Lorraine said with a kind smile, placing soup on the table.
I dropped my spoon with a clatter.
“They were here earlier?” I croaked out.
Lorraine nodded. “When you and Alpha Aiden didn’t come down…Josie decided it was best not to disturb you two. She thought you two would want some privacy for the rest of the day.”
I looked down at the table forlornly. Such a big table, and not enough people.
In that moment of silence, Aiden came inside. Tony was trailing behind him.
“Tony!” I said happily, rising to hug my brother and beta.
I couldn’t help but bite my lip when my thighs trembled in protest of being used to lift me up. Lorraine looked at me with a secretive smile before bustling into the kitchen.
“Where’s everyone? The boys and Tanya are usually here for dinner. They can’t stand Mom’s cooking,” Tony joked as we all took turns ladling soup into our respective bowls.
“Mom was over earlier,” Aiden said nonchalantly. “I saw her as she was leaving. She said she had plans to take the kids to see a movie tonight. They needed something to cheer them up… with everything going on with Dylan.”
I let out a sigh of relief. So maybe no one knew what we'd done…yet.
Tony gave a shrug of agreement before turning to look at me. “So have you looked into the program in New York that your academic counselor recommended?” he asked.
Now Aiden's spoon fell to the table with a clatter.
