Page 51 of Make You Stay

“You needed to take care of Barbara.”

“I needed to take care of you. I needed to take care of us. I’m going out of my mind, just being near you. You’re so beautiful, and you have no idea how much I want you.”

“Are you kidding? I look like a mess tonight.”

“You’re gorgeous.” He nips my ear as his fingers drift around my waist to play with the button on my jeans. With a flick, he pops it open, and my breath catches.

He won’t actually do anything here, with everyone gathered in the next room. He can’t.

Until he does.

Aidan slides a hand past my waistband, stroking along my slick skin before plunging his fingers inside me.

A soft moan falls from my lips as his fingers work me over, making me ache.

Emotions flood through me, but Aidan isn’t stopping, determined to bring me the pleasure I denied us both the other night.

“Aidan,” I whisper, writhing against his hand. The more I squirm, the tighter his grip becomes, holding me in the moment until he’s damn well ready to let me go. When his thumb brushes across my clit, it’s all over.

I shatter, my knees buckling as his muscular arms hold me steady.

He slides his fingers from my pants, curling his tongue around them before delivering a gentle bite to my shoulder.

“You’re delectable, but I want all of you, Chloe.” Aidan spins me around as his mouth claims mine, his movements possessive and so, so delicious.

His hands slide under my sweater, creeping up to tease the bottom of my bra as his mouth whispers of my every sensual pleasure fulfilled. If only I’ll let him.

I desperately want to allow him to have free rein over my body, and judging by the trembling beneath his skin, he needs me just as much.

“Why can’t I stay away from you?” I whisper, tracing my fingers along his mouth.

“Maybe we need to ask why we keep trying instead.”

Someone coughs behind us, and we turn to see Enid in the doorway, barely containing her laughter. “I hate to break up this private party, but I need you two for birthday cake.”

“Sure. Aidan was teaching me—”

“Oh, Iknowwhat he was teaching you. Seems you’re an A+ student,” she smirks.

“Oh, my God,” I mumble, my cheeks flaming.

Finally, her laugh escapes, rising into the air, along with my mortification. “Hey, I’m thrilled. It’s about damn time.”

“But we aren’t…” I trail off, catching Aidan’s bemused expression.

So glad everyone finds this situation amusing.

Me? I fall somewhere between confused and horny as hell, despite the incredible orgasm Aidan gifted me.

What can I say? I want more.

Glancing at Aidan, I meet his soft gaze as he holds out his hand. “Come on. They’re waiting on us.”

It’s a simple gesture, but I know it screams volumes for a man like Aidan. He’s openly flirtatious but openly affectionate? That’s a different story.

With a smile, I slide my hand into his, feeling the warmth flow through my body. When his fingers tighten around mine, I realize my heart doesn’t stand a chance.

I’m lost to this man.
