Confusion turns to panic. Does he want to wait until next month for my six-month checkup? I was tested for everything under the sun after the rape, but they redo the tests at six months. Of course he wants to shield himself against possible sexual diseases.
“Addison, stop.” I look at him. “All I wanted to know was if you were still on the pill,” he says softly.
“Oh.” I close my eyes and blush in embarrassment. “Yes. But if you want to—”
His lips on mine stop me. He slowly pushes into me, stretching me as I feel his length filling me. I groan into his mouth, spreading my legs, opening for him. Once he’s seated all the way in me, he stops kissing me.
“Breathe, sweetheart,” he says as his eyes soften. I exhale the breath I didn’t even know I was holding. “Keep your eyes open, baby. I need you to see that it’s me filling you, loving you, becoming one with you.”
I nod as he slowly pulls out. A moan slips from my parted lips. My back arches as I feel every stroke caress my inner walls. His unhurried pace lets me adjust to the feeling of being filled. Our bodies move in sync to the slow, sensual ride.
Our gaze never breaks. His whispers of loving words penetrate deep inside me. He consumes me.
My heart.
My body.
My mind.
A sense of nirvana flows through me. He’s never owned every part of me at the same time. There’s always been a piece of me that has held back. I’m giving myself to him.
Completely.
I squeeze his hand in mine and wrap my legs around his waist, pulling him in deeper.
“I love you,” I whisper, looking into his eyes. His lips curl into a smile. “Now kiss me.”
His mouth slams down on mine without hesitation. The quick movements of his hips intensify his thrusts. I hold my legs tight around his waist, causing his strokes to be small and fast.
Pleasure explodes through my body as my heat spreads around Aiden. My toes curl as I pulse around him, squeezing him tight. His head falls to the curve of my neck as he growls though his release. He thrusts a couple more times before collapsing on me.
“Alexa, play ‘Die a Happy Man’ by Thomas Rhett,” he commands, lifting his head from my shoulder. Music fills the air.
“Who is Alexa?” I ask.
All of a sudden the music stops playing. Oops. What did I do? I look around the room.
“Shh,” he says, chuckling. The music begins to play again. “If you say her name, she stops what she’s doing and waits for a command.”
“You like that, don’t you,” I say, smiling. “Obedient woman, waiting for your command.”
“If I liked that, I’m with the wrong woman.” His voice is laced with humor. He lays his head down on my shoulder and softly sings the song to me. He pours his feelings into the song, word by word. It takes me back to when he first sang the song to me in Central Park. Then, it was just the song that happened to be playing at the concert so I didn’t know if he meant those words. Right now the words send sparks to my heart, making it beat to a tune only Aiden can carry.
When the song ends, I exhale slowly. “Aiden, I’ve already told you that the love I feel for you scares the shit out of me,” I say softly. He pushes up on his elbow, lying on his side. “I need you to know why.” He nods, keeping quiet. “I’ve never felt a love so deep that I felt I couldn’t…” I pause to catch a breath, “…live without it.” I look around the room, trying to gather my thoughts. “When Joe told me that he had killed you, I lost all desire to live. I wanted to die so I could be with you. Forever.”
I find Aiden’s eyes and tears fill them. I need to keep going to get this out in the open. “Then when I found out you lived … I felt like I wasn’t good enough for you.” I look away from the pain in his eyes.
He clears his throat. “Addison, you weren’t in the right state of mind to have made a clear decision in both those instances,” he says with a shaky voice.
“Even so, I wanted to die for you. This kind of love scares me.” My breath hitches. “But, I also see now that’s what love is. Someone you would do anything for. I’m fully aware that my decisions were … extreme because of the situations I was in, but it still scares me.”
He wraps me in his arms and squeezes me. “Sweetheart, it scares me, too. I would do anything for you,” he whispers into my hair.
We hold each other in silence. The love between us wraps all around us, binding us together in invisible ropes. Love is an actual thing. It makes us do irrational things, blinds us even, but in the end it’s the most beautiful thing that can happen between two people. And I wouldn’t want it with anyone else.
My eyes get heavy as the warmth of Aiden’s embrace relaxes me. I’m startled when Aiden jumps up on his knees and bends over me, reaching for his nightstand.
“What are you doing?” I ask Aiden, watching him search the top drawer of the nightstand. I giggle when I wonder if he’ll pull out a vibrator. I mean, isn’t that what all nightstands are for? It’s where mine are. Hmm … I guess I might want to hide those if Lexi lives with me.
