“I agree.” Aaron told her as she lifted her head to look at him, embarrassed by the sun.
“You didn’t get to…” Holly pressed her lips together as he leaned in to kiss her.
“I didn’t have to. This isn’t some quick thing for me, Holly.” Aaron confessed to her as she frowned at him.
“How will this end?” Holly questioned as he kissed her again, sliding her arms around his neck.
“Let’s take it day-by-day for now. I just love feeling you like this.” Aaron whispered to her, hearing her breath catch in her throat.
“I want to feel you inside of me, Aaron. I don’t think that I can get enough of you.” Holly told him, moving back to tug at his shirt as she eyed him greedily. “I couldn’t stop staring at you in the gym today.” He assisted her in taking it off and then moved his hands to the shorts. Holly tugged them, moving to free them from his feet as she gasped and stared at him. “Will that even fit?”
“Perfectly. I can wear a condom for you but I’m clean. I am checked a lot if you feel comfortable with me going bare.” Aaron told her, having been a bit worried during his wilder days.
“I have been on the pill forever. Bad periods.” Holly told him, reaching down to stroke him with her hand. She stared into his eyes as he breathed slowly, focused on the squeeze of her small hand around him.
“Do you really want this?” Aaron asked her, feeling close to coming as he started to rock against her hand.
“Why are you so worried about me?” Holly asked him, her eyes darkening in the light of the room. “Oh, Aaron…you looked me up. Didn’t you?”
“Holly, I didn’t know what I ‘d find. I just don’t want to hurt you.” He assured her, cupping her face and staring into her eyes. Her eyes teared up and she closed them slowly. “I just wanted to start a normal life again and there you were.”
“I’m the first since it happened?” Aaron asked her and she nodded slowly. “I want it to be good for you, Holly. I want you to trust me.”
“I do,” she told him and he kissed her as he pressed her onto her back on the couch. “Make love to me.”
CHAPTER FIVE
Aaron looked at his body poised over hers for a moment before asking her if she wanted to use a condom again. She shook her head no and he parted her legs with one hand as he stroked her wet center with his fingers, feeling how ready she was! Holly cried out as she felt him rub her clit softly with his finger as he slipped a finger inside of her. He moved in front of her entrance, stroking her softly before he slipped inside of her with a low groan.
Holly was tight around him, her legs spread and her head dropped as he moved slowly and deeply inside to allow her to adjust to his size. He leaned down to suck a nipple into her mouth as he pulled out of her slowly, moving back in as she lifted her hips. Aaron buried himself inside of her as she met his thrust, begging him to go harder as he gasped and pulled out again. Slowly, they began to increase the pace together as he fought not to come too fast inside of her tight walls.
Once she tightened around him and cried out, Aaron released inside of her long and forcefully with a low moan against her neck. They both relaxed against one another as she stroked his hair and he kissed her skin softly. “I didn’t think that would happen so fast. It wasn’t my plan.” He almost apologized to her as she sighed underneath him.
“I wanted it too. I couldn’t stop thinking about you once I saw you again and when it seemed like you wanted me as well, I had to try.” Holly told him, wrapping her arms around him. She kissed him and he returned it quietly, their tongues dancing together lightly.
They drifted to sleep together, lips pressed together as each one fought to keep their eyes open. Aaron carried her to his bed when he woke up first, placing her gently on the mattress as he looked her over. This was more than just sex and he knew that he couldn’t tell anyone about it. This was wrong so he could never tell anyone how good it was.
What if they got serious? What would he do then?
Aaron climbed onto the mattress beside her, pulling her into his arms as he inhaled her again with a slow breath. They slept on and off through the afternoon, waking up starving as he ordered some Thai food to be delivered. He handed her a tee shirt from his drawer, hating to see her covered up as he slipped on a pair of track pants. Aaron went to get some water from the fridge as he felt light and happy for the first time in a long time. Too bad it had to be kept secret.
He brought her a bottle of water, watching her bring her knees to her chest as she rested against his pillows with a sweet smile. She sipped it slowly as they talked about what to do the next day at work, both of them somber at the idea of having to hide it. When the doorbell rang, Aaron told her to stay put until the delivery guy was gone and left the room to pay him with a generous tip. He’d made sure to order something she would enjoy and he locked the door and set up the table with the containers and some plates. “Come on out and eat.”
