Chapter Forty-Four

"Why don't we get you in something more comfortable?" Aidan asked as he made his way over to the bed.

"But I'm so comfortable like this." I say, the drowsiness starting to seep in.

"It'll only take a moment. Come on, I'll dress you." He pulled the cover back as he spoke.

"I bet you'd like that." I said and sat up. "To take all this off." I say and motion to my body. It was like I had a burst of energy all of a sudden.

"Don't tease me if you're not willing to accept the repercussions." He said as he helped me to my feet.

"And what would those be?" I pushed him away and turned around so he could untie my dress. I moved my hair and felt him start to tug at the laces.

"I thought you'd want to rest after the ordeal you've been through today." He tugged the lace one last time and pulled the dress so it would loosen and fall to the floor.

"It was a little…traumatic. But I think what I want," I said and turned around, "is to be with my big, strong husband." I say as I fidget with the laces on his pants.

"I-I," he said then cleared his throat, "I thought you were still…"

"Oh that seems to have stopped. It was my last day after all…" I say as I slowly untie his pants.

He let out a light groan. "Ari, if you're teasing me-"

"There will be repercussions I know. I am teasing you." I say and let his pants fall to the floor. My eye line goes back up his masculine body, I subconsciously bite my lower lip, until my gaze meets his. "But that doesn't mean I want it to end there." My finger traces the outline of his arms as I try to control myself. My breath has become heavier, waiting his touch.

He grabbed my hand and stood there a moment. I snuck a peek at his face, he looked like he wasn't quite sure what to do.

"You already know what to do." I say and pull my hand away.

"Damn it." He takes his shirt off over his head and throws it to the side. "I really was going to let you rest. But take this damn thing off."

I smile and take off the undergarment, gently throwing it to the side.

"What do-" I started to ask him what he wanted me to do but he scooped me up and set me down on the bed before I could ask. He climbed onto the bed, slowly, looking me over all the while. I wanted to pull my legs up to me so he couldn't see me but he pushed them back down.

"Don't ever cover yourself in front of me Ari." He said in a demanding tone.

"But-"

"No buts, as long as we're alone I always want to see you." He cupped my face and kissed me hard. "God, I want you now."

"You can have me now." I say, trying to be as seductive as possible.

"Hmm," he moaned as his hand wondered my body. "But I want you to suffer a little first."

"S-suffer?" I said. I was a little caught off guard. I thought he would've just teared our clothes off and got right to it – that's what I wanted, that's what I was yearning for. It was like I had been in the desert for several days and he was the ocean – I didn't want to work up to the deep end, I just wanted to dive in.

"Oh yeah." His hand ventured to in between my legs and gently spread them apart. "Having you right there but not being able to make love to you was worse than the actual torture I've endured."

"Y-you're being dramatic."

He half smiled and let out a chuckle. "You might be right." He put his hand in my sensitive spot and started stimulating me. I let out a moan and closed my eyes. "But I still want to give you a little taste of your own medicine."

As he kept teasing me, he started to place kisses all over my body. Then graduated to gently biting me until I was finally overcame with the pleasurable sensation I had been missing. I instinctively clung to him.

"That was quicker than I expected."

"Sorry you didn't get to tease me as much as you wanted."

"Oh but we still have the whole night love."

"B-but we have to travel again tomorrow." I say and pull away to look at him.

"Yes, but you can sleep as much as you want on the way there."

"So that I can't sleep tomorrow night?"

He grinned from ear to ear and I pushed him playfully.

"I won't be letting you sleep tomorrow night either." He pulled my leg up to him and resumed placing kisses on my torso. "I did say I was diligent."

"You did." I grabbed at him as he held my leg and put himself inside me. "Mm." I moan as I grab his arm.

"You keep grabbing at me like that and I won't be able to control myself."

"Yes." I blurted out without thinking.

He chuckled. "Is that what you want?"

"I-I um, I didn't mean to say that."

"No?" He asked as he started moving around inside me. "Because, the way you've been teasing me lately makes me think that's exactly what you want." He whispered in my ear.

"Ngh." I moaned as he plunged farther inside me, exploring every inch of me.

"Is that what you want?" He asked as he started to move more forcefully.

I couldn't say anything in response, just grip him harder.

"I need to hear it from you. That you want me." He teased.

"I-I want you." I say.

"Mm, say it again. A little more forcefully."

"I want you." I say a little louder.

"What do you want me to do?" He teased.

"Y-you know."

"I want to hear you say it."

"I-I can't."

"You can't say it but you want me to do it?" He kept teasing me. "Come on, tell me." He said as he continued to thrust and breathe heavily.

"I-I want you."

"To…?"

"L-lose control."

That was the last thing that was said. The only thing that could be heard in the room after that was the sound of skin violently slapping together and heavy breathing until both of us finished. He fell down onto the bed next to me and pulled me into his embrace.

"You drive me crazy." He said and kissed the top of my head.
