“Is that a good thing?” I ask, wincing as I stretch to adjust to his size.

“Fuck, yeah, Bella. It’s a really good thing.”

I take him as far as I can, then still. “Does that feel okay?” he whispers, reaching up to tuck some of my hair behind my ear. I nod and he smiles, “It feels really good for me.”

I brace my hands against his chest and lift slightly. It sends tingling sparks through my body, and I release a breathy sigh. Aiden’s hands travel up to my breasts and he massages them, teasing my nipples. “I missed this,” he whispers, “I’ll never mess up again.”

I lean down to kiss him, gasping at the pressure against my clit. I shift slightly, realising how good it feels to have my breasts brush his chest whilst my lips find his. I keep in this position and ride him. Every nerve ending in my body feels alive, and the way he’s cupping my face while I fuck him, makes everything feel so much more sensual. We’re not just fucking anymore, we’re making love.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

Aiden

I wrap Bella in my arms, stroking her hair whilst she falls to sleep. Things have shifted between us, and there’s no denying that what we just did, was far from fucking. We made love. And it doesn’t scare the shit out of me like I thought it would. If she wasn’t so exhausted, I’d do it all over again right now, because I can’t get enough of her.

We wake the following morning wrapped around each other. I’m easing my erection into her before she’s opened her eyes. She doesn’t protest, only groaning with pleasure as I take what I need.

There’s a knock on the bedroom door, and Cal pops his head round. I still and Aria half sits, looking flustered. Cal falters, “Sorry, I didn’t know he was here,” he mutters, his disapproval obvious in his expression.

I keep my cock buried inside of her, wishing the prick could see. “I’ll be out in a sec,” she says.

“I’ll put the kettle on,” he mutters, leaving.

I grip a handful of Bella’s hair, tugging her head back so my mouth is at her ear, “Does he often barge in here?” I ask, withdrawing slow and slamming back in. She gasps. “How many times has he come in here when you’re naked?”

“Aiden,” she pants, as I fuck her harder. Jealousy is driving me and I’m losing control, feeling the urge to mark her before she goes out there to speak to him. I push her onto her front, placing my legs either side of her thighs, watching my cock disappear into her. She shudders, groaning into her pillow. I follow, growling loud enough for him to hear.

I climb from her and she roles onto her back. Her cheeks are flushed pink, and she’s got a just fucked look about her that satisfies me. Cal will know that look, and he’ll know I’m the one that put it there.

“That was primal,” she remarks, sitting up.

I grab her round the waist and pull her back. “Who said we were finished?”

She bats my wandering hands away, laughing as I take her nipple in my mouth. “What’s gotten into you?”

I drop back, staring up at the ceiling. “What’s happening here?” I ask and she snuggles into my side.

“You’re asking me?” she asks with a laugh.

“I know what I want, Bella. I need to know if you want the same?”

“I like spending time with you,” she admits. “And I like how you are. I feel like this is the real you.”

“It is,” I reassure her. “Everything is out in the open now, no more lies.”

“I want to take it slow,” she whispers.

“A bit late for slow,” I tease.

“I mean, let’s not stick labels on this just yet. And I need you and Cal to be okay around one another.”

I groan. “I don’t like the guy, and can you blame me?”

She sighs, placing a kiss on my lips before sitting again. “Let me go talk to him. Take a shower and I’ll bring you coffee.”

It’s twenty long minutes before she returns and she gives me a sheepish smile, placing a coffee on the bedside table. I sit up and she slides into bed beside me. “There’s something I need to tell you.” I stiffen at her words. “But please let me just explain before you get angry.”

“Here we go,” I mutter. “Has lover boy kicked off cos we’re back together?”
