CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Jessi

Aiden grabbed me by the hips and lifted me. My legs went around him, my arms at his neck. Someone could’ve seen us through the remaining windows or the glass door, but I didn’t care. I didn’t care about anything except the fire in Aiden’s eyes. This soul-deep ache inside of me.

I wanted him, and it was long past time that I got to have what I wanted.

My lips found Aiden’s jaw as he carried me through the kitchen and upstairs to my apartment. The door slammed open, and Aiden brought me straight to my bed, standing at the foot of it.

He crushed our mouths together. I was still in his arms, clinging to him as his lips and tongue claimed mine. Firm strokes. Nips of his teeth. His strong hands squeezed my hips, and I could feel each one of his fingers as they gripped me through my jeans.

Then he forced himself to break the kiss. It seemed to take a lot of effort. “You’re gonna need to tell me exactly what your limits are, Jessi. Because my mind isn’t sharp enough right now to puzzle it out.”

I carded my fingers through his hair. Sucked his earlobe. “What about you? What do you want?”

“Everything you’ll give me.”

I wanted everything too. But I’d made that promise to myself. Be careful. Take things slow. Two more days wasn’t much, but it was something. More than I’d ever had before with a man like him. I couldn’t rush this. Someday, when Aiden was back in California and just a memory, I wanted to look back on our time together without a single regret. I didn’t ever want to feel like this moment between us was a mistake.

“I want to undress you,” I said.

Aiden set me on my feet. His hands moved to my face, kissing me deeply again. But instead of the bed, I nudged him toward the couch. He stripped off his coat. I tugged at Aiden’s shirt, and he immediately yanked it off as he walked backward. My fingers popped open the button on his fly and fiddled for the zipper. “Jeans off too?” he asked.

“Yes. Um, leave your boxers?”

“Perfect,” he said, kissing me again. “Whatever you want, Jessi. Whatever you want is perfect.”

I was flying on a cloud of eager desire, but contentment too. The knowledge that whatever I gave him was enough. But if anything, that made me want more. Then Aiden stepped out of his jeans, and my throat went dry.

I wanted a lot more.

All the muscle and masculinity, I’d seen before. His ocean tattoo, the golden skin. But now, I saw the hard, thick cock tenting his boxer briefs. Liquid fire cascaded across my body. My tongue felt too large in my mouth.

Aiden’s mouth curved. “Okay?”

“Shhh.” I nudged his chest, and he sat heavily on the couch, bouncing on the cushion. I couldn’t take my eyes off him. There was a nearly naked man in my apartment. An aroused, nearly naked man. Who was also honest and honorable and kind.
