Aiden had planned it.

He would never tell Shannon, but it was the truth. He’d made the decision last week. Since then, he hadn’t been able to focus on anything else.

It wasn’t some magical, monumental moment; Aiden prevented it from being that by fooling around with Shannon as much as possible. He’d put his hands where he wanted and his mouth where he wanted; he’d made sure to familiarize himself with Shannon’s body and encouraged Shannon to become familiar with his. This was different, though. This was what they’d been putting off, the line they’d never crossed, the point in their foolery where they’d always eased away from each other.

Virgin was such a juvenile word, when Aiden thought about it. After everything they’d done together, Aiden was sure he wasn’t considered one, but still, he’d planned Christmas Eve as the last night he’d ever use the label.

“How do you want to do this?” Shannon asked breathlessly against Aiden’s sternum.

Aiden shook his head. “Doesn’t matter.”

“You have to tell me.”

“Whatever you want, I don’t care.”

“Aiden—”

Aiden lifted his hips, annoyed. He’d planned it all until this point: the kissing, the stripping, the hands between legs and lips down stomachs, and everything in-between. But he hadn’t planned a conversation. “Shannon, shut the fuck up and get on with it.”

Shannon mumbled into Aiden’s shoulder with his hands skidding up his sides. Aiden squeaked—embarrassing—and his heart kicked when his face was suddenly pressed against the comforter. Shannon’s mouth climbed his spine, and his arms caged Aiden’s shoulders.

It wasn’t that Aiden didn’t thoroughly enjoy being thrown around—he did—but he hadn’t imagined it happening the way it was. He hadn’t prepared for Shannon’s praises, the soft you’re incredible that Shannon whispered at the nape of his neck, or the quick breathe, don’t stop, let me hear you, or the possessive, shaken rasp when Shannon gasped his name.

Aiden hadn’t known he could feel the things Shannon made him feel. He’d assumed it would be like a movie, either rough and fast and needy or tender and affectionate and slow. Not once had he entertained the idea that sex with Shannon could be both, that sex with anyone could be anything but typical.

It scared him how typical it wasn’t.

Shannon bit Aiden’s shoulder and his fingers clenched tight around Aiden’s hips.

Aiden didn’t know why he’d ever bothered trying to imagine this. The details were too fine-tuned. Everything was too this or that, too much and too little: the heat from Shannon’s breath and hands making paths across Aiden’s stomach, fingertips against thighs and hips straining to stay put, the weight of Shannon’s chest pressed against his back, white sheets between Aiden’s knuckles, stark and permanent and grounding, replaced by Shannon’s fingers when he grasped Aiden’s hands.

There wasn’t anything explicitly beautiful about it.

It was tumbling and laughter. It was messy, overdue, and long-awaited, electrified by sounds Aiden wasn’t sure he’d conjured. It was disorienting, with intermissions of heated kisses and in-betweens of stillness. It was is this okay and yes, god, yes, and fingernails on backs, and teeth in flesh, and soft lips on cheeks.
