Free Hindrance by Angelica Chase Page A

tightly, I tried to avoid what his coaxing touch was doing to me.
    “Open your eyes, Nina.” I kept them closed as he licked down my stomach. “Now,” he ordered in a sharp tone. I opened them reluctantly, only to be met with the sexiest version of him imaginable. I studied him, taking in his features and his taut muscled arms braced over me, the small amount of stubble growing on his chin.
    I had done so much begging I had no choice but to stop. I was defeated.
    I was punished.
    Aiden stopped his assault, as if he sensed the small break in me. He took my hand, pulling me to him and leading me to the bathroom. We showered together then went downstairs. I stayed silent over breakfast, my emotions still getting the best of me as I watched him eat.
    “Eat your breakfast, Nina,” he chided before taking a sip of his coffee.
    “I told you I wasn’t hungry.” Wow. Even I recognized the childish tantrum I was throwing. I waited a patient and respectable amount of time before excusing myself. “I have to get to work.” I couldn’t even pretend to be civil at that point. I was burning, every muscle in my body screaming for release.
    “Not so fast.” He stood, turning me away from him, wrapping his arms around me. “Today, I want you thinking of me filling you with this.” He pressed himself into my backside, and I realized how close I still was. So fucking close. “And when you finish your day,” he whispered into my ear, licking the shell and then pulling at my lobe, “choose the place and I’ll meet you there and give you the best orgasm of your life.”
    He turned me to him, pulling slowly at my lips until I relented, letting him taste me fully. He pulled back, closing our kiss, his eyes intent on mine. “No touching. Don’t do it and I promise you it will feel like your first one.”
    “Okay,” I agreed as he smiled warmly at me.
    “I’m trying, Nina.”
    “I know.” I wrapped my arms around his neck. “I think we should get away, you know. Just go somewhere. No past, no future, just the present.”
    “I couldn’t agree more.” I felt my heart flutter with excitement as I took his slightly larger lower lip into my mouth, sucking greedily.
    “Where are you thinking?” he asked, taking his lip back and tucking it in his mouth.
    “Hmm, how about I let you decide.”
    “I’ll think about it today.” He swatted my ass, dismissing me.
    Walking outside, I sighed happily with a greeting. “Good morning, Cedric.”
    He looked at me sideways as I greeted him. If he was expecting some sort of walk of shame, he would be sourly disappointed. I buried the guilt associated with Devin as we drove back to my house so I could shower and change. When I reached the office, I kept busy throughout the course of the day, my needy sex pulsing constantly as a reminder of what was to come. I’d never been so excited. I thought about the ways he’d taken me last night, as an assured lover whose skills were phenomenal, especially in the area of knowing my body well enough to keep me in this state. By midday, I was tapping my foot underneath my desk, trying horribly to cure the unrelenting ache. As if sensing my discomfort, Aiden texted me.
    Aiden: Don’t fucking touch it.
    Nina: I really hate you right now.
    I hit my phone. “Taylor, when is our last meeting?” Breathless, I needed this to end. I had no patience left.
    “Our last meeting is downtown at four. I arranged it there because of the construction.” Our floor was currently undergoing serious renovations due to Taylor’s new position and our plans to expand.
    “Give me that address.”
    I texted Aiden with orders to be there at four-thirty.
    It dawned on me suddenly that in my hours with Aiden I hadn’t once feared for my life, or worried about the state of it. I’d simply been living it. It reminded me of a happier time. A time when …
    I was so done going there.

 

     
    DEVIN
    I looked up from my phone to see Eileen hovering over me on the porch.
