Chapter 4

In the seconds before they arrived at her door, Aria found herself tremulous, almost regretful. What am I doing? What if he doesn’t like what he sees? What if he runs away screaming at the sight of cellulite? What panties am I wearing? As they stood in silence at the entrance to room 306, however, a calm resolve set in. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity. She would have this beautiful man all to herself for one night. This, she thought, was what being a strong, single woman was all about.

But even as she was filled with determined thoughts, a reluctant hand suddenly wrapped itself around her upper arm.

“Wait,” said Lucian, a worried look on his face. “I don’t know if we should do this.”

“Do what? You’re just coming in for a visit.”

“I think this is a little different from a visit to grandma’s house, Aria. We both know where it might lead. Will most certainly lead.”

Aria leaned into him, an unusual confidence telling her to corral the man into her bed. “Where it might lead is to a very pleasant evening. What’s so wrong with that?”

“I don’t want to hurt you.”

“I know. You’ve saved me from a broken bone and a drunk shifter. It’s fairly obvious that you’re not out to break my heart.”

“That’s not what I mean. I don’t want to physically hurt you.”

Aria slid her key into the lock. “Come in, Lucian. We’ll talk.”

He followed her in. The room was largely occupied by a king–sized bed, deliberately requested by its occupant so that she could bask in the glory of solitude and freedom. Now she was especially pleased at her choice.

“Sit down,” she half–commanded. Lucian obliged, seating himself on the edge of the bed.

“I’m strong, Aria,” he said.

“I know you are.”

“I mean that I don’t know my own strength. I have injured people before, in this…” He cut the sentence short.

“Situation?” Aria asked.

“Yes. I stay away from people, from shifters even, because of it. I could tear you in half.” With that he stood again and loomed over her, his physicality almost overwhelming.

She approached and laid a hand on his hot chest. “But you wouldn’t,” she said. “You never would.”

With that she tipped her chin up and kissed his lips. She had to stand on her toes to do so. At first Lucian responded with a polite peck, but in seconds Aria felt his arms around her and his mouth was on hers, his soft lips caressing her own, tongue exploring her taste. His hands slid down her back until they landed, determined, on her round hips, which he pulled towards his own.

Aria could feel him harden against her, his length growing as they kissed, her own body responding in kind. Under her bra, her nipples hardened to dark pink pebbles. Between her legs, her panties went moist with her need for him, her body urging her to find a way to invite him inside.

Lucian didn’t speak any more; instead he reached for the zipper on her coat, pulling it downwards as gently as he could before pulling the garment away.
