“Huh?” Is it obvious what I’m here to do? Maybe there’s a big dick with Aiden’s name drawn on my forehead that I didn’t see.
“More research. Your paper is about hockey, right?”
Right, that. “Oh, yes, it is. Can’t get enough of that research!”
He chuckles. “He’s in the living room.”
The house is quiet, and keeping my heart from falling out of my throat is a challenge when I see the back of his head.
“I’m here.”
Aiden lifts his head in surprise then eyes me from his seat on the couch. “I see that,” he says, turning back to his laptop.
I close his laptop, forcing him to remove his hands from the keyboard. “I’m here because I want you.” I push the words out with great difficulty.
His expression flashes before it’s neutral again. Aiden shifts to get comfortable on the couch, delving deeper into the cushions. “Want me to…?”
“You’re going to make me say it?”
He smirks at me. Like a fucking prick. I want to walk out, but I’ve been battling my head for days. There is no more denying that this is what I want. Also, because I don’t want to hear the lecture Amara will have for me if I chicken out.
I stand straighter. “I want you to fuck me.”
Aiden scrambles to sit up and give me his full attention.
“Never thought I’d ever hear Sunny say that.” Our heads whip to the archway that leads into the living room, and I see four wide-eyed juniors and one very amused Dylan. “You gotta start sharing your secrets, Cap,” he snickers.
“Oh my god.” My face flames from my neck to my ears. Mortification tickles my bones and pales my skin.
Aiden curses under his breath when he sees my blanched face.
“I-I’m going to go.” I make a beeline for the door, ignoring Aiden calling my name. When I’m halfway down the steps, he catches my arm.
“Wait.”
I try to wrangle away my arm. “Save me the humiliation.”
He doesn’t let go but turns me to face him.
I groan. “Do you enjoy embarrassing me?”
“I’ve never embarrassed you. You do that all on your own.” He smiles.
“What do you want?”
“You.” A part of my chest melts. “Trust me, that’s not even in the top ten embarrassing things to happen in that house.”
“It was in front of your entire team!”
“It was the juniors. Who cares?”
“I do! Now they think I’m some girl who would do anything for dick.”
His brows raise. “Are you?”
Is this really the guy I wanted to have sex with?
Yes.
