Chapter Twenty Five

Avery

Christmas. The day I’d always spent with my parents. I’d never wake up to the smell of pastries for breakfast again. Never wear ridiculous matching Christmas pyjamas. Never watch my parents smile and cook dinner together.

I shook myself. They were gone. It still hurt. Worse now I had all those perfect memories tarnished by the knowledge of who they’d really been. I had to lock that pain away. That part of my life needed to be let go. I’d always love them, but it wouldn’t be the same.

A hand curled around my waist and lips pressed to my shoulder.

“Happy Christmas,” a deep voice whispered in my ear.

His voice always had me melting on the spot. Deep, rich and sexy. That was Aiden all over.

“Happy Christmas.”

“Shall I give you a gift now or would you like breakfast in bed?”

“Gift?”

His hand slipped below my underwear, brushing over my curls. I whimpered when his fingers met my clit.

“Mmm, my fingers are your gift.”

I arched against him as he strummed me. This was one way to wake up on Christmas morning. Aiden was the first man I’d share this day with. And he was already making me forget all about not spending it with my family.

“Today is all about you,” he told me. “Feeding you. Making you smile. Making you come over and over again.”

“You promised we could watch Christmas films.”

He growled in my ear.

“Talk of that isn’t permitted when my fingers are on your clit, Avery.”

I wanted to laugh but he circled my clit harder.Shit.I cried out. His cock dug into my back as he ground against me.

“Aren’t you going to fuck me?”

“Don’t tempt me.”

“Even if I want you to fill me with your cock?”

“For fuck’s sake.”

He tore my underwear down, pulled his cock out and pressed it inside me.

“I wanted to wait until later and take my time with you, but no, you just have to say such provoking things.”

He thrust into me, still circling my clit with his fingers. It didn’t take long until we both shuddered in a mutual conclusion.

“I’m going to make you breakfast and start on dinner,” he said, kissing my neck.

“Mmm.”

He slipped from the bed. I watched him stretch, taking in all his tattooed glory. Definitely the sexiest man I’d ever seen.

“You’re so beautiful,” I mumbled.

He turned his head.
