I love how he says my name; low and firm, with just a touch of sultriness. “Make me.”

Wrong choice of words. I screech when he suddenly sweeps me up, then dumps me in the water. My body hits the pool floor before I kick back to the surface, sucking in a lungful of air.

“Holy shit. Did I—?”

The concern on his face gets wiped out by a heavy splash of water. “Yeah, take that!” I laugh, dousing him with another splash. Aiden wipes the water off his face, then lunges at me witha loud growl that has me diving backward to escape him. Not good enough. He lands beside me and his arm slips around the small of my back as he keeps stroking with the other arm, taking me with him.

Laughing, I wriggle out of his grasp, but then he doubles back and comes after me. My shrieks fill the air as I push my legs through the water, desperately trying to escape his outstretched arms.

I’m not fast enough.

He grabs my waist and swings me around. “You’re going to pay for that.”

My giggling suddenly stops. Pressed to his front, it’s hard to ignore what I feel against my spine. I should ease away and pretend his erection isn’t poking me, but I don’t move. At least, I don’tmove away.

Aiden breathes harshly into my ear as I rock myself, just slightly. His arms tighten around me. A sweet ache settles between my thighs and I almost entertain the urge to touch myself.

Or beg him to touch me there.

“Scarlett,” Aiden breathes, that sexy whisper making me moan softly. I throw my head back, wanting to do more than lean into him. That crazy thought of turning around, capturing those thick pink lips, it gets stronger.

“You’re messing with my head, my—” His hands move across my stomach as he sucks my earlobe.Jesus. Pleasure dances in my stomach. Pushing up on my tiptoes, I grind my ass on his cock.

“Fuck.” Aiden grinds right back, kissing down my neck, nibbling my shoulders. The ache intensifies between my legsand I give in, stroking myself. Aiden’s hand soon joins mine, caressing that sweet spot with me until I lose myself, begging him not to stop.

But he does stop, only long enough to lift me. My legs wrap around his middle as he takes my lips for a kiss that makes my brain short circuit. With my eyes closed, my arms looping his neck, I let him tongue-fuck my mouth. My ass hits the edge of the pool deck as he assaults me with that skillful tongue, growling softly, every stroke making my pussy clench with need. He soothes that sweet pain with his cock, grinding into my center until I grip the edge of the deck and move with him. As my pelvic floor tightens, priming for a climax, I kiss him back hard and deep. Aiden groans, fisting my hair, crushing my clit with each hard, deliberate thrust of his hips. I throw my head back, breathing harshly. He kisses the base of my throat as my body welcomes the best climax I’ve ever experienced.

Still panting, my head drops on his shoulder. “Oh my God,” I breathe, not from the waves of pleasure still running through my body, but the gravity of what we just did. It wasn’t actual sex, but close enough. I did exactly what Theresa warned me against. I let my guard down.

Aiden runs his fingers through my hair, planting a kiss on my forehead that makes my heart ache. “Beautiful.”

With an inward groan, I ease him away and slide back into the water.

“Scar.”

“I need to go, Aiden,” I reply, quickly treading water to the balcony. “Please tell your driver I’m ready.”

He doesn’t reply, but I’m sure he heard loud and clear. Water swooshes, alerting me that he’s close behind. I hurry outof the pool and wrap a towel around me, then grab my clothes off the floor.

“Bathroom?”

“Are we going to talk about what just happened?” Aiden asks.

“There’s nothing to talk about. Your secret is safe with me, Aiden,” I reply sharply. “The Wolves won’t know you dry humped the enemy in your pool. Your Mom won’t find out you got hot and heavy with the girl from the other side of the tracks.”

An emotion resembling relief crosses his face, making my heart hurt. Yeah, I called it. He wants to ensure I keep my mouth shut.

“Where’s your bathroom?” I ask again.

He seems about to say something more, but then he jerks his head to the side. “Down the hall, first door on the right. It’s an ensuite.”

I stomp into the room and slam the door much harder than I should. I’m not mad at Aiden. He’s a guy. Guys do stupid things when their dicks are hard and there’s a willing woman opening up for them. Me, I should know better.

As I take the wet underwear off and slip on my dry clothes, I start rebuilding the wall around myself. It matters not that Aiden is no longer my bully. I still can’t trust him. Not with my body, certainly not with my heart.
