Irresistible (Neighbor from Hell Book 11)

by R. L. Mathewson

  “God, yes,” Melanie said on a moan as she spread her legs further apart so that she could push back against him.

  “What else?” he asked with a kiss against the back of her neck as he slowly pulled back.

  “I missed being in your arms.”

  “Better.”

  “I really missed the pie that you let me manipulate you into getting,” Melanie answered with a solemn nod.

  “I bet you did,” he said, chuckling only to groan when he pushed back inside her.

  “I missed the way that you touch me,” she admitted on a groan as he pressed a kiss against the back of her shoulder as his hands found her breasts again.

  “Much better.”

  “I missed the way that you feel inside me,” she said, licking her lips when he pushed back inside her, filling her completely.

  “Is that all you missed about me?” he asked after a slight pause.

  Smiling, she shook her head as she dropped her hands away from the wall and leaned back against him so that she could reach up and cup the back of his neck and pull him down for a kiss as she said, “I missed you, Aidan.”

  “Are you sure?” he asked, brushing his lips against hers as he wrapped his arms around her.

  “Yes,” Melanie said even as she realized how much she’d really missed him.

  Last night, she hadn’t been able to sleep and found herself curled up on the couch, binge-watching movies on Netflix with Arik and hadn’t been able to stop thinking about Aidan. She’d missed him so much, missed his smile, his touch, and…

  She’d missed him.

  “What do you want, Aidan?” she couldn’t help but wonder as she stood there, trying to tell herself that falling in love with him wasn’t a mistake, but the truth was, it terrified her.

  She didn’t know what he wanted, what he expected, or if this even meant anything to him, but she knew that falling in love with him might end up being the biggest mistake that she’d ever made. She honestly couldn’t think of anything more foolish than falling in love with a man that told her that he wasn’t interested in anything more than a quick fuck.

  But as she stood there in his arms, she couldn’t help but notice the difference between the man that he’d been that morning in the hotel and the man that he was now. She also couldn’t help but wonder if she was just seeing what she wanted to see or if he was doing this out of guilt over the baby and-

  “I don’t want to be the rebound.”

  Chapter 31

  “What?” the woman in his arms asked, sounding confused.

  “I don’t want to be the rebound,” Aidan repeated.

  “You’re not,” Melanie promised him as she brushed her lips against his.

  “Then what am I?” he found himself asking the one question that used to make him lose interest in a woman before the last syllable had a chance to leave her lips. He’d never been interested in more, never made a woman think that he was, and he always made sure that they knew exactly what he had to offer. But now…

  He wanted everything.

  “I honestly don’t know, Aidan. What do you want?” Melanie asked as she ran her hand down his jaw

  “I want everything that you’re willing to give me,” he said as he leaned back down and-

  “Oh, god,” she moaned when he shifted inside her, so he did it again, slowly rolling his hips so that he could push back inside her.

  He slid his hands over her breasts. “You have no fucking idea how much I want you, do you?” he asked against her lips as he continued to slowly roll his hips.

  “I thought about doing this all night,” he found himself confessing as Melanie leaned forward so that she could slap her hands back against the wall.

  He released her breast so that he could place one hand on the wall next to hers as he reached over and cupped her other breast as he wrapped his arm around her. “Do you know how many times I thought about you last night, Melanie?” Aidan asked, kissing the side of her neck.

  “I thought about you more,” she said, making him smile.

  “Did you?” he asked, slowly continuing to fuck her.

  “Yes.”

  “I don’t think that’s even possible,” he promised her as he kissed her shoulder only to find himself frowning when she pulled away from him.

  Before he had a chance to ask her what was wrong, she was pushing him back against the wall. Once she had him where she wanted him, she grabbed hold of his hand and carefully knelt down on the shower floor, and-

  “Oh, fuck!”

  -watched as she turned more than half of his fantasies into reality as she leaned forward and pressed a kiss against the tip of his cock. When she followed that up by running her tongue over the tip, he found himself groaning. Definitely better than he’d imagined, Aidan thought as he watched her take the tip in her mouth and-

  Definitely better, Aidan thought, closing his eyes as he pressed his head back against the wall while pleasure coursed through his exhausted body. That felt so good, he thought, licking his lips when she ran her tongue over his cock before taking the tip in her mouth and had him groaning as she slowly took the rest of him in.

  He should stop her, but he was too fucking tired to fight this.

  As he stood there, groaning with every slide of her mouth over his cock, he couldn’t help but notice how much better this felt with a woman that he couldn’t seem to get enough of. It wasn’t just sex or a way to get off as he killed time. Every touch, caress, and kiss felt better with her because he fucking wanted her.

  God, did he fucking want her, Aidan thought as he opened his eyes and found himself watching her as she wrapped her hand around his cock and she slowly took him in her mouth with a moan, letting him know just how much she liked doing this. For several minutes, he stood there, watching her. She was so fucking beautiful, Aidan thought as her grip tightened around him and she allowed her teeth to lightly graze the underside of his cock as she pulled back and-

  Had him shouting her name as he felt his cock swell up and his balls pulled up tight seconds before intense pleasure tore through his body. Before the last tremor tore through his cock, he was reaching for her. He pulled her back up to her feet, turned her back around and slid his too-fucking sensitive cock back inside her with a groan as he reached around her and placed his hand on her breast as he wrapped his arm back around her and slapped his other hand on the wall next to hers.

  “Oh, god,” Melanie mumbled as he fucked her, grinding his cock inside of her as he did his best not to lose his fucking mind.

  She was so fucking wet and tight, forcing his cock to harden to the point of pain, but god was it fucking good. He squeezed her breast in his hand, loving way that it felt when her nipple slid across his fingers and couldn’t wait for the day when he was able to feel it pressed against his chest as he fucked her. He couldn’t wait until he could crawl between her legs and-

  “Aidan!”

  Lose his fucking mind.

  Chapter 32

  “What are you doing?” Melanie asked, unable to help but smile as she opened her eyes to find Aidan watching her.

  “Waiting for you to wake up,” he said, leaning over to brush his lips against hers.

  “Why do I have to wake up? I need sleep,” she mumbled pathetically because she honestly wasn’t sure if she was going to be able to find the strength to leave this bed. Not after yesterday…and last night…and this morning.

  They’d been very busy.

  “Does this mean that you don’t want to spend the day with me?” Aidan asked, pressing a kiss against her forehead.

  “Will I have to leave this bed?” Melanie asked because she liked to know if she was required to get dressed so that she had plenty of time to mentally prepare herself for the task ahead of time.

  Chuckling, he said, “Yes.”

  “What are we doing?” she asked as she snuggled closer, deciding that she was going to have to leave this bed in steps.

  “We’re going out on a date,” he told
her, wrapping his arms around her.

  “Really?” she asked, unable to help but smile.

  “Mmmhmm, figured that we should get a few dates in before the baby is born since we won’t be able to do this for a little while after he’s born,” he murmured.

  “Where are we going?” Melanie asked, moving to sit up after deciding that it would probably be for the best if she started the long process of getting ready now.

  “Well, I thought we’d-”

  “Oh, you didn’t tell him?” came the question that drew their attention to the doorway to find Rebecca standing there, shaking her head with a pitying sigh.

  “Tell me what?” Aidan asked only to grunt a few seconds later when Rebecca joined them by dropping down on the bed between them with a satisfied sigh.

  “We’re spending the day going baby shopping. Planned it months ago,” Rebecca said, stealing Aidan’s pillow as Melanie reluctantly got up.

  As much as she would love to spend the day with Aidan, she couldn’t do that to her best friend. They’d planned this months ago, set it as a goal to look forward to during those times when she didn’t think that she’d be able to pull through. It had given her something to look forward to. For a moment, just a brief moment, she considered asking Rebecca if they could reschedule, but she couldn’t do that, not after they’d waited this long.

  “I’m sorry, Aidan,” Melanie said, worrying her bottom lip.

  “Don’t worry about it. We’ll do something tomorrow,” Aidan promised her with a warm smile as he climbed off the bed and headed to the door.

  “Okay,” she mumbled, biting back a disappointed sigh.

  “Go pretty yourself up for me, bitch,” Rebecca said, making her lips twitch as her best friend gestured for her to move her ass.

  “Yes, dear,” Melanie said mockingly as she grabbed some clothes and headed to the bathroom, hoping to see Aidan on the way there so that she could at least get a goodbye kiss before she left.

  Yes, she was apparently that pathetic, but she didn’t care.

  When she didn’t spot him on the way to the bathroom, Melanie bit back another disappointed sigh and forced herself to focus on having a good time today. She’d been looking forward to going baby shopping and today was the day. For the past seven months, she’d had her eyes on a few things, debated between several themes, and had been toying with the idea of saying the hell with it and ordering everything from Amazon, but somehow, she’d resisted the urge.

  She was probably going to end up ordering most of it online, but she still wanted to go and see all that baby cuteness. With that in mind, Melanie quickly showered, got dressed in record time, and made her way back to the bedroom so that she could wonder where Rebecca was when she spotted Aidan lounging on the bed, waiting for her.

  “Where’s my bitch?” she couldn’t help but wonder.

  “She had to leave. Something came up at the Fire & Brimstone,” Aidan said, shrugging it off as he climbed off the bed.

  “Oh,” Melanie mumbled, unable to hide her disappointment because she’d been looking forward to looking at baby onesies and-

  “Ready to go?” Aidan asked as he took her hand in his and gave it a gentle squeeze before heading towards the door.

  “Where are we going?” she asked even as she told herself to look on the bright side, at least she got to spend the day with Aidan after all. Determined to have a good day, she grabbed her bag and-

  “I thought we’d go baby shopping. Unless you wanted to do something else?” he asked, throwing her a questioning look.

  “We could do that, I suppose,” Melanie said, smiling as she headed for the door, waddling as fast as her sore feet could take her and leaving him with no other choice but to come with her or risk being dragged.

  It was baby shopping day!

  *-*-*-*

  “It’s not fair,” came the saddest fucking mumble that he’d ever heard.

  “I know,” Aidan murmured sympathetically as he did his best not to smile mostly because he didn’t think that it was a good idea to piss off the heavily pregnant woman sniffling sadly as she lovingly caressed a pink onesie.

  “It’s so cute,” Melanie mumbled sadly.

  “I know it is, baby,” Aidan agreed as he leaned down and kissed her cheek.

  Sniffle.

  “I love it so,” Melanie said, glancing from the pink onesie that he was going to have to buy for her to the selection of adorable baby girl items that had caught her attention twenty minutes ago when they’d walked into the store.

  “The baby stuff for boys will be just as cute,” Aidan promised her as he tried to figure out how to use the scanner that the sales associate gave them.

  “Why are you lying to me?” Melanie asked with another sniffle as she plucked the scanner out of his hand and began working her magic.

  “It seemed like the best option at the time,” he said, relieved when she finally waddled out of the girl’s section that even he had to admit was just an overabundance of cuteness.

  “Why are we making a wish list?” Melanie asked as she handed the scanner back to him.

  “Because my mother somehow found out that we were going baby shopping,” he said, which of course, meant that Rebecca had somehow managed to escape the closet in the basement that he’d locked her in.

  “We don’t get to buy anything today?” Melanie mumbled sadly, drawing his attention to find her lovingly caressing an emerald baby blanket.

  “You can get whatever you want,” Aidan promised her as he reached over and picked up the blanket and placed it in an abandoned carriage.

  Sniffle. “I love that blanket,” she said, grabbing onto the carriage and pushed it towards the boy’s section.

  “I know you do, baby,” Aidan said, unable to help but smile as he watched her as she made her way through the boy’s section, lovingly caressing this, sniffling as she picked up a teddy bear onesie, and shaking her head with a heavy sigh when she spotted the neon green onesie with red sparkles.

  For the next half hour, he dutifully followed behind her, placing her selections in the carriage for her and searching through piles of clothes looking for the color and sizes that she wanted. He’d added a few selections of his own along the way. An hour later, they were standing in the stroller aisle and he had to admit that it was seriously fucking overwhelming.

  “But I don’t run unless someone’s chasing me,” Melanie mumbled sadly as she took in the first ten strollers that had been designed with the athletic mom in mind before adding, “or unless I see Ronald McDonald.”

  “Ronald McDonald?” Aidan asked, wrapping his arms around her.

  There was sniffle, and then, “I really don’t want to talk about it.”

  “That goes against the rules,” Aidan pointed out as he placed his hands on her belly so that their son could say push against his hands.

  “I’m not talking.”

  “Then I’m afraid that I’m going to have to punish you,” Aidan said as he pressed a kiss against her neck.

  “Do what you must,” Melanie said with a sniffle that had his lips twitching.

  “Fine. Then no more pie,” he said, loving her little gasp of outrage.

  “He freaks me out!” Melanie blurted out not even a second later.

  “Is that it?”

  “Isn’t that enough?” she countered.

  “I suppose,” Aidan murmured, sounding thoughtful as he glanced around them, taking in all the strollers and wondered how they were supposed to figure out which one they needed when the epitome of evil joined them.

  “You,” was all Rebecca said when she spotted them.

  “Is everything okay at the Fire & Brimstone?” Melanie asked as Aidan locked eyes with the woman that was in over her head as he pressed one last kiss against Melanie’s neck.

  “It’s fine,” Rebecca said as a smile that could only be described as evil graced her adorable face before she glanced over her shoulder, drawing Aidan’s attention to his brother, who looked rea
lly fucking pissed for some reason.

  “You locked my wife in a closet in the fucking basement?” Lucifer demanded, getting in his face.

  “Oh, my god, you locked her in a closet?” Melanie asked, sounding shocked for some reason as she stepped out of his arms.

  “Yes!” Rebecca hissed as Aidan stood there, shaking his head sadly.

  “I didn’t have a choice. Not after I found out that she planned on having a beige color scheme for the baby,” Aidan said with a helpless shrug and a sigh, pleased when Melanie was forced to turn her head when a noise that sounded suspiciously like a snort of laughter escaped her.

  “What?” Lucifer demanded, immediately forgetting about him to focus on his wife. “You were going to subject my godson to beige?”

  “No, wait, I-” Rebecca began, but sadly, she was in way over her head on this one.

  “And she said that we should just pick out the cheapest crap for the baby since he would just outgrow it anyway,” Aidan added, mostly to ensure that his brother took over for them since it would just make this easier.

  With a glare aimed at his wife, Lucifer reached over and snatched the scanner out of Aidan’s hand. “We are going to have a very long talk, woman,” Lucifer bit out, narrowing his eyes on his wife before his attention shifted to the scanner in his hands and-

  “This just isn’t going to work for me,” his brother said, sighing heavily at their selections before clearing everything, grabbing the carriage, and heading down the aisle as he carefully considered the stroller options.

  “You’re going to pay for that,” the epitome of evil said, drawing his attention back to find Rebecca standing in front of him, glaring up at him.

  “Am I though?” Aidan asked, reaching over to pat her on the head, mostly to piss her off.

  She slapped his hand away as she nodded, “Yes, you will. I held back last time, but now,” she said, slowly shaking her head, “you’ve asked for it.”

  “Interesting,” Aidan murmured, nodding thoughtfully before asking, “Have you ever wondered why my brother was never able to fire you?”

  “Oh, he tried, but he couldn’t do it,” Rebecca said with a smug little smile that was too fucking adorable for words.
