Here Comes The Bride

by Sadie Grubor

  "Sorry," I apologized to Viola.

  "Please, if you need to answer it," she motioned for me to do so.

  "No, it’s a reminder notification." I shook my head and smiled.

  "Reminder?" Viola was curious.

  I really didn’t want to get into the details of my reminder to take my birth control pill. That probably wouldn’t be received well.

  "Yeah, I use my phone to remind to take care of things."

  "Do you need to go?" Viola sat up straight with genuine concern.

  "No, no. It’s fine, really." I thought quickly, though I hated to lie. "I just need to make sure to check the menu for the week when I get home. I’ll just reset the reminder." Picking up my phone, I just that.

  As I put my phone back into my purse, I quickly popped a pill from the pack I carried with me. When I was sure I could slip it into my mouth without too much notice, I did.

  Viola dropped me off at home and I dragged myself upstairs to the bathtub. I filled the Jacuzzi tub with hot water and soaked in the jet action for thirty minutes before finally climbing out to get ready for bed.

  I checked the time, ten o’clock. I didn’t think Aidan was home, so I climbed into bed. Once again, I couldn’t sleep. My mind was in overdrive. Thinking over Viola’s offer and college, I rationalized that I could change a few of my classes to subjects that would be helpful while working with the foundation.

  Clearly I was not going to be able to fall asleep any time soon. Climbing out of bed, I headed toward my sanctuary, the library.

  I finished ‘Little Women’ a couple of nights ago and moved on to Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’. I lounged on the couch in the dimly lit library, back against the arm of the couch and knees bent up. I was in the middle of an intense scene in the book, when Dracula first lays his eyes on Mina, when the couch shifted. My heartbeat kicked up a notch and I gasped in a harsh breath.

  Aidan chuckled and I threw the throw pillow at him.

  "You scared the crap out of me!"

  He laughed louder and held his stomach, trying to speak.

  "I...couldn’t…help it!"

  This time I tossed my book at him.

  "I hate you," I pouted, trying not to laugh.

  "You know that was great!" His laughter was subsiding. "You said it yourself. Paybacks are a bitch."

  "You’re such a loser." Narrowing my eyes, I tried to pretend to be mad, but couldn’t keep the straight line of my lips. They curled at the edges on their own.

  "Couldn’t sleep again?" He lulled his head back on the couch.

  "Nope," I shrugged.

  "Everything okay?" he looked up with concern.

  I was about to answer him when his appearance caught my attention. He was still in his suit pants and the top three buttons on his white dress shirt were undone. Then there were the glasses. Oh God, the dark rimmed glasses framed his emerald green eyes. My pulse quickened and warmth built in my stomach.

  "Lilli?" I snapped out of my lust induced haze.

  "Oh, sorry…spaced for a minute. What did you ask me?"

  He grinned.

  "Is everything alright? You said you couldn’t sleep again."

  "Oh uh…yeah, it’s fine. My mind just wouldn’t settle down, that’s all." His face twisted in confusion.

  "What’s on your mind?"

  My mind screamed, “the fact that I want to lick you from head to toe – leave on the glasses please”. My mouth said, "Viola asked me to start working with her at the foundation, but –"

  "She asked you?" His tone worried me. Maybe he didn’t want me to get involved.

  "I know it’s probably a bad idea, so I was just trying to think of how to tell her –"

  "Why is it a bad idea?" His lip rose at one side of his mouth, knitting his eyebrows together.

  "Well, I guess, well you know…in four years…" I trailed off.

  "Oh," he sat up straight. It was uncomfortably silent for a few moments before he spoke. "I think you should consider it. If it’s something you are interested in doing." His body relaxed into the couch.

  "Really?" I wasn’t convinced.

  "Yes. Why would I think it’s a bad idea?" He shrugged and rubbed his face. "Viola hasn’t asked anyone to help or work with her, so for her to come out and ask you…well, that says something." He turned his head toward me and, once again, I was hit with his beauty. Those damn glasses were doing horribly wonderful things to my girl parts.

  I simply nodded and quickly tried retrieving my book to distract myself from the throbbing heat between my legs. Oh, and the urge to lick his neck.

  When I laid my hand on the book it inadvertently brushed against Aidan’s thigh. Clenching my eyes tight, I latched onto the book. As I pulled the book up from the couch, Aidan’s hand was on my wrist.

  My eyes snapped open and I turned to him. His face was serious for a moment before it relaxed and he turned to look at me. I stopped breathing.

  "You ready for bed yet?"

  "Um…not..." licking my bottom lip, I finally took a breath, "not yet." Forcing a smile, I battled my lust.

  "Ugh…come on. I don’t want to have to come back down here in fifteen minutes to carry you to bed," he teased and poked his finger into my side.

  "Stop," I cringed away and giggled, thankful for the moment of distraction.

  "Are you ticklish?" An evil grin crossed his face. I scooted away.

  "Don’t do it, Aidan," I warned, "I mean it." He attacked my sides with his fingers. "Stop," I screeched in laughter. "Oh God…stop! Please!" I cried.

  Aidan laughed like a little kid.

  "Who’s the best?" he taunted.

  "Ahh….stop!" I laughed. "Uncle! Uncle!" I shouted in defeat.

  "Who’s the champion? Say it, Lilli!" He chuckled and stopped tickling for a minute.

  I gasped for air.

  "You’re the champion. Now stop…please?" I laughed and pushed his hands away.

  "Hmmm…not yet." He attacked again.

  "Jesus, Aidan…stop it!" I choked out in the middle of my gurgled laughter.

  He let up, his one hand resting against my thigh as I lay back trying to catch my breath.

  "This is great information to have about you," he smirked at me.

  The fiery tingle from his touch, the cocky smirk, and those sexy black rimmed glasses pushed me to my limit. A quiet moan escaped my lips.

  "Fuck it," I growled.

  In one fluid motion I pulled myself up from lounging and slid over his lap. Aidan’s eyes widened larger than I’d ever seen, his hands clenched the leather cushions of the sofa. I licked my lips, sucking on the bottom one, as my breathing picked up. Our bodies this close was the last straw.

  "I’m tired of trying to stay away from you…" Whispering, I stared into his black framed eyes.

  "Then don’t." He responded almost breathlessly.

  Leaning in smoothly, I crushed my lips to his. Aidan’s hands found purchase on my hips and squeezed.

  Sliding my hands from his forearms, up over his broad muscular shoulders, I laced my fingers together behind his neck, pulling him closer to me. He wrapped his hands around me and pulled me closer. I licked his lips and was granted access to his tongue. I thoroughly explored the inside of his mouth.

  Our movements became more eager and my breathing was labored. I pulled away from the kiss and moved over his jaw, licking and biting at his skin. He moaned into the side of my face and pushed his hips up into me. His excitement strained in his pants and rubbed right where I wanted him most.

  Reaching his earlobe, I flicked my tongue out before nibbling. His skin was smooth and tasted like honey, spice, and salt. Nothing had ever tasted so wonderful. The moment I slid my tongue down his neck to the crook he pushed me onto my back, against the couch, pressing his body into mine.

  Aidan’s hands roamed under my shirt and over my stomach, not stopping until he cupped my breasts firmly. Groaning, I thrust my hips forward for more friction. He complied by pressing his hard length against me
.

  Our mouths met again and it was his turn to explore. My hands wandered, sliding over his cotton covered chest and the hard length between his thighs. Grasping him into my palm, through his pants, he pressed his forehead against my shoulder and growled. I licked the closest earlobe. This brought his mouth back to mine ferociously.

  Grabbing his white dress shirt, I ripped it open. Buttons scattered on the hard wood floor. After sliding the shirt off of him, I grabbed the hem of his white t-shirt and pulled it up over his head.

  Our lips parted so he could pull the shirt off. Before he returned, he yanked my shirt off forcefully and tossed it. As his mouth met mine again I nibbled on his bottom lip, eliciting a moan. My fingers worked adamantly on the clasp of his dress pants. Sliding my feet up the side of his legs, I hooked my big toe into the waist of his pants and push them down. Aidan lifted his hips and moved his mouth over my neck to my collarbone. One of his hands came down between us to push his boxers away.

  My pajama bottoms were jerked away from my body, one side at a time. Removing my hands from his shoulders, I pushed my pants down far enough that he could finish the removal with his foot.

  Pushing him off of me, I straddled his lap again and attacked his mouth fervently. He groaned as I pressed my wet folds against his erection. When he twitched against me, I moaned into his mouth.

  With refined expertise, he unhooked my bra and slipped it down my arms between us. I tossed it away as our mouths worked against each other.

  He moved his mouth from mine. Licking and kissing down my neck, collarbone, all the way to my nipple. When his hot, wet mouth closed around my nipple I began to rock against him. One hand cradled the breast he worked over with his mouth, while the other pressed firmly, fanning out on my lower back and the top of my ass. He pulled me closer and closer to his hardness. Moans and whimpers escaped my mouth. My movements quickened. Aidan switched breasts and this time bit lightly on it.

  "Oh God," I panted.

  "Your skin tastes amazing," he growled against my nipple and licked. His words and the ministrations of his tongue were doing wonders for my libido.

  Steadying myself on his shoulders, I perched up on my knees. His lips moved to the skin of my stomach just below my breasts. Reaching between us, I positioned him and slid down his length slowly.

  Aidan’s head snapped back. His eyes clenched shut.

  "Fuck, Lilli," with strained breathes, he grabbed my hips firmly.

  Eyes clenched shut, I savored taking him in. Hell, he felt amazing.

  Slowly, I moved on his length. He pressed his head to my chest. We found a compatible rhythm and moved in synchronization. Grunts, groaning, moaning, and panting filled the room.

  The fiery tingle I felt from his skin was intensified. A fire started to build inside me. My hands tangled in his messy hair. His hot breath became more labored against my chest as it dampened my skin. The fire stretched out over my body.

  When his hand slid from my hip and his thumb rubbed against my sensitive bundle, the fire erupted throughout my body like molten rock.

  "Oh God!" Yelling, I grabbed onto his hair so tight I was sure it was going to fall out. "Aidan!" I bounced on his lap, riding out my euphoric eruption. Aidan’s body tensed and then shuddered in release.

  He continued to rock my hips up and down as our motions slowed. Finally, I collapsed forward against his chest, my head on his shoulder. We both were breathing heavily and holding each other in silence.

  I felt good. I mean really, really good. Tingles flitted against my skin and all tension had vanished. As my orgasmic high came down, my brain started to catch up with my hormones. The tension crashed back on me and his arms tightened around me.

  "Don’t," was his low growl.

  "I –"

  "Lilli, I said don’t." He was speaking through clenched teeth. The tension in his body kept me silent.

  Numbing tingles fluttered in my foot and thigh, so I moved to climb off of his lap. Aidan held onto me, standing from the couch. I wrapped my legs around him and grabbed onto his shoulders quickly, a little startled by his sudden movement. He chuckled and started walking through the house.

  "We don’t have clothes on," I hissed, hiding my face in his neck. Someone was going to discover us.

  His shoulders shrugged underneath me. "Everyone is asleep," he chuckled and headed up the steps.

  "You don’t have to carry me to bed every night," I whispered into his ear.

  "I wouldn’t have it any other way." He spoke so low I wasn’t sure if he meant for me to hear him.

  We got to the bedroom and I braced myself for him to put me down. Instead, he walked us to the bed and laid us down. I shifted to move away, but he grabbed onto me and pulled me close to him.

  Cupping my face, he leaned in, kissing me tenderly. When he pulled away from me I know I looked a little confused by everything.

  "I care about you, Lilli," His tone was hushed, "Very much."

  Rolling me to my back, he lay on top of me. He began to plant small kisses over my face and down my neck. His kissing became more fervent and trailed between my breasts, over my stomach, and to the inside of my thighs. Squirming as his hot breath got close to my center, I gasped when his mouth closed over my clit. One lick between my lower lips and I wanted him all over again.

  Sounds and undistinguishable words fell from my lips. Apparently pleased with himself, he moved up my body and carefully slid into me. He pumped slowly in and out of my center. I writhed beneath him.

  "Oh God," I panted.

  "No, Aidan. Say my name, Lilli." The dominant persona turned me on more. His thrust increased in force. "Say it," he said in his new dominant tone.

  "Aidan," I panted and writhed more at his forcefulness.

  "Louder," he demanded, pushing harder and further.

  "Aidan," I yelled. The large grin was noticeable when his lips crushed mine.

  He grabbed the legs I’d wrapped around his waist and placed my ankles on his shoulders. He thrust down into me.

  "Aidan, Yes, Aidan!" Screaming out, I fisted the bed sheets, sure I would tear a hole in them.

  "I want to feel it," He pumped hard twice. "I want to feel you come around me again." He slipped one finger into my ass and thrust forward harder. The molten fire erupted through my body again. My walls clenched around his steel length. The shudder from his body let me know he was joining me on the orgasmic ride.

  Spent, my legs fell back onto the bed. He collapsed on top of me with his head on my chest.

  "Jesus, Lilli…you are just….fuck."

  I ran my fingers through his hair.

  "Mmmm…that feels amazing," he moaned and rolled so that we were both on our sides.

  His cheek pressed against my chest. After pulling my leg over him, he cupped my ass. We fell into an exhausted sleep, tangled in each other, naked.

  Chapter Five

  Jealousy and Turmoil

  Aidan

  Lying in bed last night, her hands running through my hair, after two rounds of intense sex, was heaven. I didn’t want to get out of bed, but I had to get ready for work. Our position had changed throughout the night, but we were both still naked.

  Lilli was a stomach sleeper and facing away from me. The only part of her body covered was her butt and the one leg tangled in the sheet. Rolling from my back to my right sight and propping my head up on my hand, I looked her over.

  My mind couldn’t help but worry about how she’d react. Would she pretend like nothing happened? Would she consider changing the ‘not having sex’ rule? I mean didn’t we break it twice last night? I sighed and rubbed my free hand over my face. I don’t think I can go back to not being with her. I mean, my God, now that I’d been with her, inside of her, there was no going back for me. I wanted it again and again. In fact, I wanted her now.

  As if to emphasize my desire, my dick twitched to life. The tingling anticipation returned to my groin and lower abdomen as memories of her attacking me on the library sofa came to th
e forefront of my mind. I was still trying to figure out what it was that swayed her, ensuring I could it again. Otherwise, I may not get a chance to be inside her again, nor would I get the heir needed to fulfill all of my inheritance conditions.

  While lost in my thoughts of Lilli, the conditions, and needing to get up and get dressed, I rolled onto my back. Lilli stirred and whimpered. She was still asleep, but had shifted. Her left leg was now bent at the knee and the movement caused the sheet to slip off, revealing the perfect curve of her right hip.

  I couldn’t be blamed for my actions, it was just too much. Very slowly, I caressed her lower back, sliding my fingers under the sheet and over perfect, soft, lush skin. She moaned lightly and stirred. I halted my actions for a moment, waiting for her to settle before I continued. The sheet had been completely removed from her body. I let my curiosity wander once more, moving my fingers gently over the crease where her ass met her creamy thigh.

  I slid closer, allowing her scent and warmth to consume my senses. I was lost. As if on their own, my fingers found purchase between her legs, sliding across her damp folds. She moaned and stirred again. Slowly dipping my fingers inside, I watched as she squirmed, her breathing becoming more rapid.

  "Good morning," I whispered against her neck, licking and nipping.

  "Mmmhmm…" she moaned.

  I shifted my body, positioning myself against her wet heat.

  With my weight on my left forearm, I grabbed her hip and pushed into her hot sheath.

  "Ahhh," I moaned.

  This wouldn’t be slow and soft, the intense urge to dive into her faster, deeper, took over.

  "Uhhnngg," she moaned into the mattress.

  "Shit," I blurted, followed with another growl, "you are so…" My breathing labored and I thrust harder.

  Pushing off of my forearm to my knees, I grabbed both sides of her hips and angled her body. The sound of our slapping skin echoed throughout the room. Anticipation for release pulled through my thighs and abdomen, building higher.

  "Oh God!"

  "What. Did. I. Tell. You!" Emphasizing each word with a thrust, she panted and moaned, but didn’t comply.
