I grabbed her by her waist again and pulled her to me.
“Admit it, Leah, you don’t actually want to leave.”
She placed her hands on my chest and tried pushing me away, but I felt her resolve cracking. Her hips thrust into me. I just knew she was wet for me.
“I need time to think.”
“Think about what?” I asked, leaning into her and nibbling on her earlobe.
She tried to suppress a gasp. She’d always liked it when I did this.
“About everything. Come on, Aidan! You don’t think something big is going on here? If you don’t want to…face reality, that’s fine. But I need to!”
Somehow, she managed to slip out of my arms again.
I let her go. I wasn’t going to force her into anything. Least of all, into fucking me.
She opened the door and went out, slamming it shut behind her.
I stood there, staring at the door, feeling like the walls closed in on me, and then the doorbell rang.
I opened it and she stood outside. Her face was flushed, she was on the verge of tears again.
“I don’t have any shoes on,” she said.
I held out my hand and she took it.
I pulled her in and slammed the door.
Our mouths fuzed before another word was exchanged. Her hands were all over me, pulling my shirt off and undoing my pants. I took her dress apart and it fell to the floor.
I pushed her into the wall, pulling her legs up so she wrapped them around my waist.
I thrust myself into her as soon as I peeled her panties down. She sighed and moaned with the thrust.
“Tell me how much you want this,” I groaned as I plowed into her.
I had her pinned to the wall while she bounced in my arms with every thrust.
“I don’t want anything else. Just you. Always you,” she replied.
Then she bit my lip and I bit her back, fucking her harder at the same time. She arched back, knocking her head against the wall.
Her skin looked flawless. I took her nipple in my mouth and sucked while she rolled her hips. I was deep inside her, banging into her body.
Leah continued in a dazed voice, like she had no control over her words anymore.
“I want your cock all day long. And all night. I don’t want to think about anything else. I just want you to fuck me.”
I tore her away from that wall, spinning her around and pushing her into the wall across from us.
She swung in my arms, clinging to my shoulders for dear life.
I was still deep inside her and I thrust harder. She whispered my name, bouncing and shuddering.
Her thighs quivered while I was wedged between them. Wild grunting sounds erupted from me that I’d never heard before.
This was what she did to me.
I fucked her like this because I hoped that when I came—I wouldn’t remember my real feelings for her. That I’d fuck them out of my system. Maybe it was just about the sex.
Who was I kidding?
It wasn’t.
I’d had my fair share of wild sex with other chicks. Nothing else was anywhere close to this.
When she came, she cried my name and apologized at the same time. She still thought about it—about how sorry she was about the spying and the Barons. So the sex didn’t solve anything.
I came inside her, burying my seed deep within. When I was done, I pulled out and helped her slide down to the floor.
Leah curled up and I joined her. I didn’t want her to break into tears again, so I pulled her close to me and held her.
I was willing to hold her for as long as she wanted.
Sex may not have solved any of our problems, but it felt fucking great.
Twenty-Four
Leah
Why wouldn’t he just say it?
All he had to do was say those three special words. For once in his life, couldn’t he just admit how he really felt?
If he didn’t love me, why was he willing to forgive my spying? Why did he care what really happened to me? Why did he give a fuck what happened to my mother?
Aidan Doherty was in love with me. I knew he was. I could feel it in the way he held me after sex, like he didn’t want me to slip away or cry. Then why wouldn’t he say the words?
Was he lying to himself too? Refusing to admit his feelings? What was he so afraid of?
Would it make him less man and more human?
He had dominated me. Just when I thought I had the upper hand by walking away from him, he dragged me back in here. I was so close to giving him a taste of his own medicine, but I couldn’t stay away.
I wanted him with a deep burning desire that would never diminish.
I didn’t know how long we laid like that on the floor, just embracing and kissing softly. It was starkly different to the way we had sex. He fucked me hard and rough, and now he showed me a softer side to him.
