Chapter Five

Tuesday, December 23, 4:00 P.M.

Nicole wasn’t sure how long she’d dozed. She only knew that she couldn’t remember the last time she’d felt more relaxed or content. The restless energy that had dogged her for so long was gone. In this room, with Ayden’s body spooned against hers, all felt right with the world.

Ayden traced his hand along her naked thigh. His touch wasn’t possessive, or seductive even. It was familiar, tender, as if he’d touched her a thousand times. For a moment, promises of a future with Ayden whispered in her head. They were sweet, alluring, and tempted Nicole to open her heart. She stopped. She and Ayden had right now. And now would have to be enough.

She rolled on her back and the sheet slipped away from her full breasts. Ayden had propped his head up on his hand. “How long have you been awake?”

He smiled. “Just a little while.”

She suspected it had been more time than that.

Ayden moved his hand to her flat stomach and traced circles around her belly button.

Her heartbeat kicked from slow to high gear. She traced her hand down his flat abs, stopping just below his waist. Already he was hard and ready for her.

“How about you roll on your back,” Nicole said. She scrambled to her knees. Dark hair brushed her shoulders and caressed the tops of her breasts. She wasn’t sure that he would. That he would let her be in control.

Amusement and a warming desire sparked in his eyes. “Yes, ma’am.” He rolled on his back and tucked his hands behind his head. He didn’t take his gaze off her and reached forward to brush her hair aside so that he could see her breasts.

Nicole moistened her lips and straddled him. His erection brushed her inner thigh. She laid her hands on his chest and smoothed them down his flat belly as she leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. The searing kiss brought his hands up to her hips and he cupped her buttocks.

Heat rose up in Nicole. She wanted to take her time, to savor their lovemaking, but already she burned to have him inside of her. He teased her nipples until they were hard.

Hoping to temper her desire, Nicole leaned back out of his reach. Her heart thumped wildly. She was so moist. She kissed him hard on the lips and he threaded his hands through her thick dark hair.

Her hand slid down his belly until it wrapped around his hardness. She could tease him and not lose herself to the pleasure.

A growl rumbled in Ayden’s chest when she wrapped her fingers around him. “You’re driving me insane,” he said.

“That’s the plan.”

In a quick move he freed himself from her and rolled so that he now had her under him. He straddled her.

“I’m in charge,” she said with breathless excitement.

“Maybe some other time when I’m not about to explode.”

Some other time. This wasn’t just one night for Ayden. He wanted more. Nicole wasn’t sure that she could give him that, but for now she wanted him so badly that she refused to argue.
