Jayson

I can’t help the brief flash of pain that slips through me when he called me baby. Okay, so it’s not that he gave me a pet name. That’s so not my problem. I love that he gave me a pet name, but from him? That isn’t the one I want to hear. I’m probably the only one that remembers what he used to call me. To hear him call me that name again… it would be pure heaven.

Mentioning it to him, though, isn’t in the cards. If he doesn’t remember on his own, I don’t want to force it on him. Anything he calls me should be unsolicited. If I call him by his old nickname I’d given him, he’d probably remember, but that would be akin to giving him a hint. Is that bad of me? Perhaps so. After all, I’m the one who ruined everything, but that’s neither here nor there. Irrational thoughts are my MO.

I almost told him I loved him calling me that, but I can’t lie to him like that. I did like it though. I didn’t lie that it makes me feel special to him. Him saying I deserved it, however? Well, no matter what he says, until I have truly earned his forgiveness for the many years of silence, I know I don’t deserve it. “If you say so. I’ll just have to take your word for it.”

It’s the best I can do without lying to him about my current state of mind. All that would do is to lead us into an argument over my worth, and I don’t want to spend our second night together arguing. I want to curl up on the couch like we used to. Well, not quite like we used to. We never snuggled deep into each other’s arms. We may have leaned against each other’s shoulders, but never me snuggled tight to his side with his arm around me. That’s what I want tonight. Just me and my Aidan, and that’s exactly who he is. This man is mine whether he knows it or not.

With reluctance, I pull away to let loose of him. Backing away, I open the hallway closet and look into it. “You can put your coat in here, and I can get you some shorts…”

My gaze trails back to him where his jacket is still gaping open. I can’t help the grin that comes to my face before continuing my statement. Not bedtime yet, genius. “Or at least a blanket for the couch.”

He shakes his head and laughs at me as he lets the jacket slide from his frame. He hangs it inside and rolls his shoulders. My eyes trail to the expanding muscles of his back as he approaches the living room. I can’t help but to trail my eyes down to that perfect, round ass of his. The man has an ass I want to bite and bury my face into. Dammit, there goes my mind again. Clean thoughts, jackass, clean thoughts.
