Chapter Fourteen

Stay With Me

“I can’t believe you brought me to a Sam Smith concert for my birthday!” I looked at Aiden in surprise. “That’s so sweet of you.”

“Liv felt bad that she had to miss your birthday, and she thought this would be a nice idea.”

“So you brought me here because of Liv?” I asked, feeling disappointed.

“Did I fly you all the way to San Francisco because Liv felt bad?” Aiden asked with a small smile. “What do you think, Alice?”

“I don’t know.” I bit my lower lip as we walked into the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.

“No, I didn’t do it as a favor.” He laughed and grabbed my hand. “Do you want to stand by the stage or sit down?”

“Do we not have assigned seating?” I looked at him with a frown.

“No.” He shook his head. “The seating is first come, first serve.”

“Oh.” I looked around at the crowds, pretending that I was thinking about my decision, but all I was really thinking about was the fact that he was holding my hand. Aiden Taylor was holding my hand. And I wasn’t dreaming.

“So?” He looked down at me, his blue eyes sparkling at me.

“Let’s sit down.” I looked down at my heels. “I’m not sure how long I’ll last standing in these things.”

“Seats it is, then.” He pulled me closer to him as three guys walked past us and stared at me. “Would you like a drink?”

“Yes, please.” I nodded. “A glass of red wine, please.”

“Sure.” We walked over to a makeshift bar and stood in line. “Also, I brought you here because I wanted to make our first official date a memorable one.” He looked self-assured, but there was nervousness to his voice.

“So this is a date?” I wasn’t sure if my heart could beat any faster.

“Are you okay with that?”

“Am I?” I giggled. “Yes, I’m okay with that.” I didn’t make the comment that I was glad that we were finally having an official date after having had sex several times. It wasn’t like I’m a super old-fashioned type of girl, but it is nice when the dates come before the sex. Especially the almost Dom and sub sex relationships.

“Good.” He put his arm around my waist and kissed the side of my face, right next to my ear and below my hairline, though not exactly on my cheek.

“Good,” I said as well, though I wasn’t sure why. I was too busy floating in the clouds and daydreaming about what this all meant. Did this mean that Aiden wanted an exclusive relationship with me? Did this mean I was his girlfriend? I felt giddy at the thought, but didn’t want to push my luck by bringing up too many questions right away. I knew that if there was one thing that annoyed men it was the ‘what are we?’ questions right at the beginning of a relationship.

“Here’s your wine. Let’s go find some seats.” He handed me a glass, and we walked over to an escalator and rode it up one flight to another level and walked down a hallway and through an entryway. The place was packed. There were thousands of Sam Smith fans milling around looking for the best seats.

“Let’s go over there.” Aiden pulled me around a corner and I followed behind him as he walked up some steep steps to get to two empty seats. I looked at the ground as I walked up and held onto the railing. I was scared I was going to trip and fall down the stairs. I didn’t even want to see how high up we were as I was scared of heights and had a minor case of vertigo.

“Damn it, there’s a column in the way.” Aiden sighed as we made our way to the seats. “We can’t see the stage properly.”

“Oh,” I said weakly as I looked down. It was true we couldn’t really see the stage properly as the column obstructed our vision being in the middle of the stage, but I didn’t really want to move again.

“There are some empty seats over there.” He pointed to some seats far off in the corner, and I stifled a groan. My feet were already aching in my too-high and too-tight heels, and my calves were also aching from walking up all the stairs. I didn’t really feel like walking down a bunch of stairs and then back up more stairs. In fact, it was almost giving me a minor panic attack. It wasn’t going to look sweet or sexy if my face was covered in sweat from all the walking.

“Is that cool?” Aiden looked at me, but he had already started walking towards the stairs again, so I knew that he didn’t really want an answer. He’d already assumed that it was going to be okay.

“Yeah, sure. We want to see the stage,” I joked, though I honestly didn’t care. I loved Sam Smith, and I knew I would enjoy hearing him live, but I knew my mind would be on Aiden more than anything else. I was already wondering if he was going to try anything. Would he rub my leg? Would he try to get me to sit in his lap? Would we kiss? I was so excited about the many different possibilities that I couldn’t even think. Which was a good thing as thoughts of him were distracting me from the very real pain that I was feeling in my feet. I wasn’t sure why I even bothered trying to wear heels for anything longer than two minutes. My feet always ended up killing me and made me want to kill myself. I knew that as a woman I was meant to suck up the pain for the elongated legs that the heels gave me. The sexy killer legs that made men go weak at the knees, but man, it was hard. Part of me didn’t think it was worth it. The same part of me that wasn’t feeling the thong riding up the back of my ass at the same time. And the same part that felt uncomfortable in the tight bra and corset that was holding my fat in. I wasn’t even sure why I was trying to give the illusion of having no extra body fat. Aiden knew the truth; he knew that I had a belly and that my six-pack was hiding away. He knew, and he didn’t care. He thought I was sexy as I was.

“So were you surprised?” he asked me as we waited for the opening act to get started.

“Was I surprised you brought me to San Francisco for our first date? Uh, yes.” I laughed. “This is the best first date ever. I’m not sure that any other guys will be able to live up to this first date.”

“Well, hopefully, no other guys will have that opportunity,” he said and turned away. My heart almost burst out of my chest at his words. I was in shock. He’d practically proposed to me. Well, not really, but you know what I mean. I really wanted to text Liv and ask her what she thought of his comment, but I knew that now was not the time.

“Yeah, we’ll see,” I said casually and he turned back to me with a smirk on his face.

“We’ll see, huh?” He tilted his head to the side. “Have some other first dates lined up, do you?”

“Well, Henry wants to take me out for coffee,” I said softly, and he laughed.

“Do you want me to put you over my lap right now?” he whispered in my ear. “Because I will, Alice.”

“Excuse me?” I squeaked out.

“I will put you over my lap and spank you,” he whispered again as he fingers ran up my leg. “I will spank that ass and then rub it and I’ll have you so wet that you won’t even want to stay for the concert.”

“You wish,” I said and gasped as he slipped his fingers between my legs. “Aiden, you can’t.” I shoved his fingers aside. “There are people here.”

“I think you might remember that I don’t care who sees me.” He winked at me. “You could sit on my lap right now and ride me and I wouldn’t say no.”

“We’d get put in jail for public sex.” I shook my head at him.

“Perhaps.” He grinned. “Shall we have a go and see what happens?”

“No.” I laughed. “I think not.”

“What day are you and Henry meeting up?” He changed the subject and looked more serious.

“Not sure, why?”

“Because I’m coming.” He stared at me with a no-nonsense expression.

“You don’t have to come.”

“I know I don’t have to come, but I will.” He kissed me hard. “I just want to make sure that he knows you’re mine.”

“I’m not yours. I’m not a possession,” I said, but my heart was racing.

“You’re my girl,” he said softly. “And I want everyone to know.”

“Am I now?” I raised an eyebrow at him, but my heart was racing so fast with excitement that I thought it was in the Olympics.

“I hope so,” he said softly and took my hand. “Will you be my girlfriend, Alice?”

“I thought you’d never ask.” I smiled at him as my heart fluttered, and he pulled me closer to him and gave me a big kiss.

“I want you to stay with me tonight,” he said as he pulled away. I groaned as he laughed.

“You think you’re so smart, don’t you?”

“I’m not the only one who thinks that.”

“Aiden.” I grabbed his face and kissed him hard. “No, you’re not the only one.” I gazed up into his eyes. “The only difference is that I don’t just think I’m smart, I know I am.”

“Well, then, I guess you’ll be playing teacher tonight.” He winked at me. “Maybe you can teach me a few things with all your smarts.”

“Well, if you want to lay me down, you’ll have to obey me and listen.” I giggled and he smiled at me with wide eyes.

“I’ll lay you down right now if you want.”

“Oh, Aiden. You wish,” I said and then put a finger on his lips as George Ezra, the opening act, came on to the stage and the crowds of people started screaming and clapping.

Chapter Fifteen

Teddy Bear Heart

“Last night was fantastic,” I said to Aiden as we walked to go and get breakfast. “This is the best birthday weekend ever.”

“Ever ever?”

“Ever ever.” I nodded and smiled joyously. “Sam Smith was amazing live. Even more amazing than I would have believed. I can’t believe you got tickets and flew us here. That must have been so expensive.”

“It’s not the most expensive gift you’ll ever get from me, I’m sure,” he said and my heart almost stopped. I have to admit that once again I wanted to squeal and to call Liv. Was it just me or did that sound like he had plans to propose? I mean, obviously he’s not going to be proposing this weekend (though if he did I wouldn’t say no), but it seemed like maybe one day he would be.

“Oh?” I said softly, trying to pretend that my heart wasn’t doing cartwheels.

“Let’s go to the Ferry Building.” He changed the subject, but his eyes were dancing. “I heard that they have this coffee called Blue Bottle that is amazing, and they have these cheese sandwiches at this place called Acme Bakery, and I know you love French bread.”

“Let’s do it!” I said excitedly.

“And if you’re a good girl, I’ll get you a cupcake from Miette’s.”

“What’s Miette’s?”

“This cute cupcake place right next to Blue Bottle.”

“Oh, I’m so excited!” I practically skipped as we continued walking. “One thing, though?”

“Yes?”

“Can we catch a cab back?” I looked around at the hill we’d just climbed down. “I don’t really fancy walking back up all these hills.”

“Ha ha, that’s fine. I have other ways for you to get exercise tonight.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Oh yeah!” He licked his lips, and we both laughed. We continued walking in comfortable silence and I looked around me with interest. This was my first time in San Francisco and it was truly a beautiful city. It reminded me a bit of New York City, except for the fact that it was full of hills.

“Oh, look, a farmers market!” I said and ran over to a guy selling some paintings. “These are amazing.”

“Thank you,” the man said, and I watched as he painted something on the canvas in front of him.

“He’s so good,” I whispered to Aiden, and he nodded and looked around.

“Do you want a painting?” he asked me and I shook my head.

“No, no.” I grabbed his hand. I didn’t want him thinking that I was just using him to buy me lots of cool and expensive gifts. We continued walking through the different stalls until we came to a lady sewing what appeared to be teddy bears. I walked over to the table and stared at the handmade bunnies, owls and bears and my heart melted. They were all so cute and original.

“These are great.” I smiled at the lady.

“Thanks, I make them all be hand myself.” She smiled at me. “I use old sweaters and felt them.”

“Oh, cool.” I looked at them again and sighed. I knew I was too old to buy a teddy bear for myself, but I really wanted one.

“Looking for a gift?” she asked me, and I shook my head.

“No, I’m looking for myself.” I laughed and she grinned at me.

“Hey, what do we have here?” Aiden joined me and smiled at the lady. “Hello.”

“Hi.” She smiled and then looked at me. “Is this your husband?”

“Oh no.” I blushed. “He’s my …” My voice trailed off as I looked at Aiden. I felt slightly embarrassed to call him my boyfriend in front of him.

“I’m her boyfriend.” He grabbed my hand and squeezed it. “And she’s my insufferable girlfriend.”

“You got that right,” I joked and started to move away. “We should go.”

“No, not yet.” He shook his head. “I want to buy you one.”

“Oh no, Aiden,” I protested. “You don’t have to do that.”

“I want to.” He smiled at me and picked up a small red bear with a yellow face and big black nose. There was a plaid green heart covering the stomach of the bear with red stitching around it and it looked absolutely adorable. “I want to get you this one.” He handed it to me and then turned to the lady. “How much?”

“Twenty-eight dollars, please,” she said eagerly, and I smiled at her as I held the bear to me. Aiden paid and then we left the stall.

“Thank you,” I said quietly. “You didn’t have to buy me anything.”

“I wanted to,” he said softly and pulled me to the side. “That bear represents me, and that heart covering the front of its body represents my heart and the love I have for you.”

“Love?” I said, my eyes widening.

“Yes, love.” He nodded and his eyes burned into mine. “It’s always been you, Alice. I love you. And I want you to know that. My heart beats for you.”

“I love you too,” I said back. “Though my heart beats to keep my body running.”

“Oh, Alice.” He laughed and kissed me. “You do know that I didn’t bring you here because Liv couldn’t make your birthday, right? Liv couldn’t make your birthday because I told her she needed to go out of town because I wanted to bring you to this concert and spend the weekend with you.”

“Oh, Aiden, I had no clue. This is so romantic. Thank you.”

“It’s the least I could do.” He laughed. “I mean, you took me to a BDSM store just for fun. I needed to make sure your birthday was a blast.”

“Well, you have definitely done that.” I kissed him on the cheek. “It’s been perfect.”

“Well, the best is yet to come.” He grinned. “I have an amazing cake for you as well.”

“Oh?”

“Yes!” He grabbed my hand. “You can eat it when we get back to the hotel.”

***

“Oh, what a perfect day,” I said as we walked back into our hotel room and I held my bear to my heart.

“It’s not done yet.” He smiled.

“Oh?”

“You still have your birthday cake and another surprise.”

“What surprise?” I asked excitedly.

“Go into the bathroom and come out in ten minutes.” He grinned. “Then you’ll see.”

“Ooh, okay.” I squealed and put my stuff down. “Ten minutes?”

“Yes, come out in ten minutes. And no peeking.”

“I won’t peek.” I laughed and hurried into the bathroom and waited. I wondered what my surprise was going to be. I was so excited I could barely stand it. I looked at my watch and groaned. Only one minute had passed. “Can I come out yet?” I shouted, but got no response. This was going to be the longest ten minutes in the history of time. I stared at my watch for what seemed like forever and then I opened the bathroom door slowly. “I’m coming out,” I said as I walked out. “Aiden?” I said as my eyes adjusted to the dark.

“Oops, hold on,” he said. “I forgot to light the candle.” He nodded towards the night table. “The lighter is up there. Can you light it for me, please?”

“Okay.” I stood there and walked over so that I could light the candle. “Oh.” I giggled as a warm light filled the room.” “Oh, Aiden,” I said as I walked over to the bed. Aiden was lying on his back, naked. There were strawberries on his chest, covered in whipped cream and chocolate. I looked down his body and gasped as I saw whipped cream covering his penis. “Aiden, what’s going on?” I laughed.

“Happy birthday,” he sang out. “It’s time for your birthday cake.”

“You’re my birthday cake?” I laughed.

“I’m good enough to eat.” He grinned up at me. “And it’s all yours.”

“Aren’t you hungry as well?” I said as I bent down and licked some whipped cream off of his chest. “This is yummy.” I licked some more cream off and then licked my lips. “Let me take my clothes off first, so that they don’t get dirty.”

“Sounds good to me,” he said huskily. “And yes, I’m hungry as well,” he said as he stared up at me. “I hope that I’ll get to eat after you.”

“That can be arranged,” I said as I pulled my clothes off.

“I have some more whipped cream.”

“Hmm, maybe you should eat first, then?” I laughed.

“Do you want me to eat first?” He started to sit up eagerly and I pushed him back down.

“I’ll eat first, thank you.” I kissed him and then joined him on the bed. My naked body pressed against his, and I could feel the mixture of cream and sauces against my skin. “This feels weird.” I laughed as I licked down his neck. I then moved to his nipples and sucked them gently and flicked them with my tongue before moving farther down. I then consumed his cock as if it were a banana split and it was the most delicious banana I’d ever eaten. Aiden groaned underneath me as I sucked on his cock, and I grinned to myself when he flipped me onto my back and spread my legs and started going down on me.

“Oh, Aiden!” I moaned as his tongue flicked against my clit and then entered me. “Oh, Aiden!” I screamed, unable to stop myself as waves of pleasure filled me.

“You taste better than cake,” Aiden said as he kissed me after I’d climaxed on his face.

“And you have a tongue that’s out of this world.” I held him close to me. “Maybe you should be crowned the new Mr. Tongue.”

“I think I’d like a new name.”

“What about Mr. Big?”

“I like that.” He grinned.

“No, there’s a Mr. Big in Sex in the City. What about Mr. Cocky?”

“Make it Mr. Big Cocky and you’ve got a deal.”

“What about Mr. Big Dick?” I said and squealed as he bit down on my lower lip.

“What about Mr. Pleasure Maker?” he said as he licked my lips.

“What about Mr. Pleasure?” I said finally and he nodded.

“I like that.”

“Good. You’re my Mr. Pleasure from now on.”

“I’m your Mr. Pleasure, and I go all night long,” he said and rolled me onto my back. “Are you ready for round one?”

“Yes, please.” I nodded and cried out as he entered me swiftly with one deep thrust. This was definitely the best birthday ever.

Chapter Sixteen

The Beginning of Wonderful

“Are you home?” Liv came running into my room as soon as she arrived back at the apartment.

“Yes.” I sat up and jumped off of the bed so I could give her a hug. “We got back about an hour ago.”

“Oh, Aiden’s not here, is he?” She looked around with a disappointed face.

“No, Mr. Pleasure is not here.” I laughed as her eyes widened.

“‘Mr. Pleasure’?” She groaned. “Please no.”

“That’s his new name because—”

“No, no, no.” She cut me off. “That is TMI, Alice.”

“What?” I smiled widely. “I didn’t even say why yet.”

“I don’t want to know about the magical things he does with his penis.”

“Very magical things indeed.” I laughed and grabbed her hands. “Let’s go into the kitchen and have some hot chocolate and I’m going to tell you everything that happened this weekend, aside from how many times I—”

“Nope.” Liv covered her ears. “I don’t want to hear about how many times you orgasmed.”

“I was going to say how many times we told each other ‘I love you.’”

“You what?” she screamed and grabbed me. “This is the information you lead off with, Alice.” She jumped up and down and squealed. “I can’t believe you guys said ‘I love you’ already!”

“And he gave me a bear.” I closed my eyes and relived the memories. “It was awesome.”

“I still can’t believe that my brother, Mr. Stick-up-his-ass, told you he loved you.”

“He said that he’s had a thing for me for a while.” I grinned. “Just like me. He said he didn’t want to rush anything or pressure me into getting into a relationship because he wanted to be sure that this wasn’t just a crush for me. He wanted to know that it was an adult Alice making the decision and not an immature Alice.”

“He did not say that.” She rolled her eyes.

“I know. I couldn’t believe it when he said that either.” I laughed. “I wanted to say, what do you mean ‘an immature Alice?’ but I kept my mouth shut.” I grinned at her. “I didn’t want to ruin the bath.”

“The bath? Don’t you mean the moment?”

“The moment happened in a bath after we’d had birthday cake.”

“Oh, that’s so sweet. He got you a cake?”

“Kinda.” I licked my lips.

“What do you mean kinda?”

“Well, he got me the toppings: whipped cream, strawberries, chocolate sauce and then put it on the base.”

“What base?” Liv said and then made a face. “Oh my God, he was the base, wasn’t he?”

“Yes, he was.” I nodded and opened the fridge. “Best birthday cake I’ve ever had.”

“Oh, Alice.” She giggled. “I cannot believe my brother had the audacity to make himself the birthday cake.”

“You can’t?” I asked her with a questioningly look.

“Okay, I really can believe he had the audacity to do that.” She opened the cupboard. “Want some cookies?”

“Do we have shortbread?”

“All the way from Scotland, baby.” She nodded as she pulled out the box of Walkers Shortbread cookies.

“Yay!” I took out two cups from the cupboard and heaped the hot chocolate powder into them. “I’ve never been so excited, Liv. I guess I know what you feel like when you’re with Xander.”

“It’s amazing, isn’t it?” She smiled as she thought of her handsome fiancé. “Sometimes I just can’t believe how lucky I am.”

“I know,” I said as I waited for the water to boil. “You know when you and Xander got engaged, I was a little jealous for myself. I felt so bad about it, but I was thinking to myself, will I ever have that? Will I ever have someone love me back so much that they would want to marry me?”

“Oh, Alice.” Liv made a sad face. “I’m sorry you felt that way.”

“Don’t you dare feel sorry for me.” I took the milk out of the fridge and turned to her. “It was selfish of me to even let myself think that in your moment. But I did, and it worried me. All I could think was that I didn’t even know what I was going to do if it ended up that Aiden didn’t really like me. I know I’ve dated other guys, but he’s always been the one in my heart.”

“Alice, you know how special you are. If it wasn’t Aiden, it would have been some other fantastic guy.”

“Some other fantastic guy wouldn’t have been Aiden.”

“And any other girl he would have ended up with wouldn’t have been you.”

“How did I get so lucky to have you as a best friend?” I asked Liv as I stirred the milk into the hot chocolate mix.

“I think it was fate,” she said seriously. “I think we were meant to be best friends so that you could meet my brother and then we could end up as sisters.”

“That’s if Aiden and I get married.”

“Oh, you’ll get married.” She laughed. “I’m positive of it, sis.”

“Oh God, that means I gain Gabby as a sister, too.”

“Don’t take the Lord’s name in vain, Alice.” She laughed and picked up a cup. “Let’s go through to the living room and watch some TV while we chat.”

“That sounds good to me.” I followed behind her and we both settled into the couch and made ourselves comfortable. “I’m going to miss you when you move out.”

“I’m going to miss you, too.” We stared at each other for a few seconds, and we both looked at each other in surprise when the doorbell rang.

“Who’s that?” I asked, my heart skipping a beat, hoping it was Aiden.

“No idea.” She shrugged. “I thought Xander was going home.” We both jumped up and hurried to the door as the doorbell rang again. “It has to be Aiden.” She rolled her eyes. “He’s the only one I know who’s so impatient that he has to ring the doorbell multiple times in seconds.”

“Oh Liv,” I said, but I hurried to the door and opened it. “Oh, it’s Aiden and Xander.” I grinned at Aiden, who looked me over with an expression of desire on his handsome face.

“Hello to you, too.” Aiden swooped in and picked me up and gave me a big kiss.

“What are you guys doing here?” Liv stepped forward and gave Xander a kiss on the cheek.

“We didn’t want to leave our two favorite girls home alone.” Aiden grinned as he put me back down. “Plus, I didn’t want you to get into any trouble.”

“What trouble are we going to get into on a Sunday night, Aiden?”

“Knowing you two, I’d say a lot of different things,” Xander said with a laugh as Liv hit him in the shoulder.

“We were just about to watch TV, actually.” I kissed Aiden lightly on the lips. “And we were just drinking hot chocolate.”

“I love chocolate,” he said and sucked on my lower lip.

“We know,” Liv said loudly and cleared her throat.

“You told her already?” He groaned as he looked at his sister. “Alice!”

“What? She’s my best friend.”

“And I’m her brother.” He shook his head.

“I’ll have to tell Mom and Dad that they deserve an award,” Liv said with a small smile.

“Award for what?” Aiden asked her with a curious expression.

“An award for creating Mr. Pleasure,” she teased, and I watched as Aiden’s face went red.

“I’m going to kill you, Alice.” His fingers came up under my arms and started to tickle me. “I’m seriously going to kill you.”

“No.” I tried to push him off as I started squirming and laughing. “You can’t tickle me. No!” I shrieked as his hands kept up their assault. “Aiden, please!” I caught his hand and tried to stop him. “I won’t tell her anything else.”

“Liar.” He pinched my nose. “If you don’t stop lying, it’s just going to keep growing.”

“I’m not lying.” I giggled. “I mean, obviously I’m going to tell her stuff—”

“I’m right here, guys,” Liv interjected. “I can still hear you.”

“Maybe we should give them some privacy,” Xander said and grabbed her around the waist. “Maybe we can go to your room.”

“Nope,” Liv said and shook her head. “Alice and I were planning on watching TV and talking. If you guys want to stay, you can just watch TV with us.”

“Do we have to?” Aiden made a face and looked at me. “I had much more exciting plans for us.”

“They will have to wait,” I said and grinned at Liv. “We had a girls’ night planned. If you guys want to stay, you’ll just have to participate.”

“What does that mean?” Xander asked.

“It means I’m painting your nails.” Liv grabbed his hands. “You can choose the color.”

“Ugh.” Xander groaned, but he was still smiling. “I’m going to need a beer—or ten.”

“Coming right up,” I said and pulled away from Aiden. “Do you want anything?”

“Besides you in the bed right now?” he said softly as he whispered in my ear.

“Aiden,” I groaned as he caressed my back. “Do you want anything to drink?”

“Besides your juices as you come in my mouth?” he whispered again, and my face grew bright red.

“Aiden!” I slapped his shoulder. “Go into the living room with Xander now.”

“Yes, Aiden.” Liv pointed her finger at her brother. “You’d better behave.”

“Or what?” he retorted back.

“Or I’m going to show you what happens to boys who don’t behave.” I grabbed the top of his shirt and pulled him towards me. “I bought a paddle online and it arrived while we were gone.”

“A paddle, huh?” His eyes sparkled down at me.

“Yes, a paddle.” I pulled him even closer to me. “And I’m not afraid to use it.”

“I hope you’re not afraid to feel it as well,” he said softly. “‘Cause my hand is itching to give you a good spanking right now.”

“Oh yeah?” I said and then whispered against his lips, “I think I’ll have to make sure that doesn’t happen, then. I think tonight I’ll handcuff you to the bed.”

“Oh yeah?” he said and tugged on my lower lip.

“I’m going to tease you until you beg me to take you.” I licked his lower lip and he groaned.

“What if I beg you right now?” he said and pulled me into him so that I could feel his hardness against my stomach. “What if I begged you to take me right now?”

“It wouldn’t matter.” I gave him a quick kiss and pulled away from him. “I’m the one in charge right now. We’ll go to bed when I say.” I watched his jaw drop open in surprise, and I grinned as I walked back down the corridor to the living room while swaying my hips. I looked behind me as I got to the living room door and I saw Aiden just standing there, looking at me with narrowed eyes and a huge grin on his face. I walked into the living room feeling warm and excited. This truly was the beginning of something wonderful and adventurous between us.
