Page 28 of Saving Hanna
Chapter Twenty
HANNA
Aiden had taken the lead in explaining everything thing to the detective and the FBI agent that was also in the interrogation room. It turned out that they had been after Mendez and Ruiz for a long time but were never able to get any leads. Well, at least until I witnessed the murder of one of Mendez’s own men who double crossed him. The way they looked at it, it was one less drug dealer not only dealing, but recruiting kids to sell for them. Both men were going to be in jail for a long time.
Even though Mendez and his men wouldn’t be doing business in my neighborhood, Aiden insisted that I shouldn’t go back there. His position on the matter was that it was still a bad neighborhood, and someone new would soon take over the territory and pick up where Mendez left off. He was probably right, so as of right then, I was back at his house in the guest room.
After spending nearly three hours at the HPD, I couldn’t wait to get the scent of the shit hole that they held me in off my body. Lying in a pool of bubbles, my mind began to drift back to the events of the evening, especially the part where Aiden had made his confession. I still didn’t know what he was about to tell me before everything went to hell. I might have been too quick to judge him. It wasn’t without concern. After all, he was a businessman by nature and getting what he wanted was his ultimate intent. It was that way with the diner, so why wouldn’t it have been with me?
The more I thought about it, it became clear that I needed to find out what Aiden didn’t have the chance to tell me. Grabbing my towel off the counter, I stepped out of the tub and wrapped it securely around my body without even drying myself. With my feet still wet and my hair dripping, I left my room in search of Aiden. I wasn’t sure where he would be, but I wasn’t going to stop searching until I found him.
Descending the stairs, I headed to his study, which was the first place that I suspected he would be. The door was slightly open when I got there, so I pushed it open and found him sitting at his desk. Clearing my throat, I got his attention before bluntly asking, “What were you going to say to me at the station?”
His eyes left his computer screen and turned my way. There was a mischievous grin on his face, followed by a smile. When his eyes began moving up and down my body, I knew I should have taken the time to get dressed. Watching him very closely, it didn’t surprise me that he began walking toward me.
Inches from where I was standing, he dipped his head and captured my lips with his. As much as I wanted to break free and get the answer I came here for, the feel of his lips on mine stole that desire away, at least for the time being.
Lifting my arms, I wrapped them around his neck. Little did I know, doing that caused my towel to fall away. Breaking our kiss, I looked at him and down at my naked body, ready to lower myself so that I could pick up the towel and cover myself with it. In an instant, Aiden had me up off the floor and in his arms. Placing me on the couch brought back the memory of what took place not so long ago.
Aiden had way too much on and with me completely naked, I felt at a disadvantage. Beginning with his shirt, one by one I began undoing the buttons so that I could remove it. When his chest appeared, the sight sent a surge through my body to the core of my womanhood. Never had a man done this to me.
When I started struggling with his belt, he could see my frustration and offered his assistance in getting it off. More of the hair trailing from his navel to the waistband of his pants was revealed as he lowered them down his hips. Kicking off his shoes, he pushed them completely off, leaving only his boxers to contend with.
Looking over his shoulders, I could see that the door to his study was still open and the last thing that I needed was one of his staff members to walk by and get a free show. In a heated breath I said, “The door.”
Looking over his shoulder, he reverted his gaze back to me and said, “Don’t move.”
I had no intention of going anywhere. The only thing that I wanted was to have him back over where I was. Watching him walk to the door, I could see the muscles contract in his legs. It was when he came back that he got my attention. His boxers showcased the amazing part of his body that I had been introduced to intimately, and I wanted nothing more than to relive that introduction.
Lowering his briefs, his shaft spring free. He was perfect in every sense and all I wanted was to have a piece of that perfection. But because I was still uncertain about what was happening between us, I had to stop this before it went any further. I pushed him back by placing my hands on his hard chest and said, “Please tell me what you were going to say at the station.”
“I was going to say how incredibly sexy you are and also what a pain in my ass you are,” he began, lowering his lips to mine, kissing me while expressing his feelings, “and how you are so different from any woman I have ever known.”
The kisses continued as he spoke between them. “Everything about you is perfect. Your eyes, your hair, your smile, the small scar on your left knee. There isn’t a single thing about you that I don’t desire, need, love.”
“Wait, did you just say love?” I asked, unsure what I heard.
“What I said to you at the station was true. I don’t want the CEO position at my father’s company if I don’t have you to share it with. I know what you’re thinking. I didn’t say all those things because our lives were on the line. You opened my eyes to everything important in life, Hanna. I don’t care about the company. All I care about is you.”
I never questioned what he said at the station. The look in his eyes had confirmed that everything he said was coming from his heart. Pressing my lips to his, there was an overwhelming need to tell him exactly how I felt. “I know Aiden, because… I…”
Before I could finish his lips were on mine, reclaiming them. Parting my lips, I allowed him entrance. Taking control, Aiden pulled me closer, deepening the kiss even further. His tongue warred with mine, sending a wet heat to my core. The heat of his mouth moved from mine, leaving a kiss upon kiss down my throat to the dip between my collarbone. The kisses were too many to count as he continued layering them down my body. Enveloping my nipple, his tongue teased the tip, bringing it to a hard peak. Feeling only pleasure, I pressed my breast against his mouth. I reeled with pleasure as the touch of his hand moved down my body, petting and teasing me with the softest of touch.
Sliding his hand between my legs, he worked his strong finger inside, setting fire to my heated channel. Lost in pleasure, my body moved as he pushed a second finger inside. Wanting nothing more than to feel him, in a hushed breath I said, “Please, Aiden.”
Spreading my legs wider, he lowered his body and placed a kiss on my mound. Teasing me with his tongue, he lapped and sucked my clit, bringing me to the edge of release. His mouth never stopped working as he moved lower, using his tongue to separate my slippery folds. Dipping inside my heat, the taste of my juices was on his tongue as he moved to the hard nub of my clit. Finding my trigger spot, he fired off short little licks and sucks. My body was spinning with pleasure being sent into pure ecstasy.
Totally satisfied, Aiden moved his body, positioning his legs between mine. His eyes met mine and just then, it was clear. He didn’t need words to tell me how he felt. His eyes said everything. Placing my hand on his cheek, I whispered softly, “I love you.”
His lips were on mine and he slowly entered me. Our connection was perfect as he moved deeper inside. Thrust for thrust, I met his as I lifted my hips. He was perfect and filled me completely. Pleasure raked over my body with a magical sensation that I had felt before. Feeling the pulsation of his imminent release, I knew he would be matching my own. The sound of his release delighted me as he moaned, “Hanna.”
Lying on the couch in complete satisfaction, the knock at the door couldn’t have come at a worse time. “Aiden, it's your father, you need to get over to Elite Exchange as quickly as possible.”
~*~*~*~
By the time we had gotten dressed, precious time had slipped away. Aiden insisted that I stay at the house until he came back, but being left alone in the large house wasn’t what I wanted. He knew exactly how stubborn I could be, and there was no way he was going to win.
As we headed out the door, I could tell that Aiden was nervous and anxious. Reassuring him that everything would be okay, I took hold of his hand and said, “I’m sure when we get there, everything will be fine.”
