Page 27 of Revenge (Corrupt Empire 3)

“I need you, right fucking now,” he growled against my skin.

Holy fuck.

I hadn’t really thought about how much he might have missed me too. Too wrapped up in my own nervousness about the wedding. I shouldn’t have been worried. This was Aiden. I’d known he would be there. Known this was what he wanted.

He tugged my underwear down my legs and I shimmied out of them until they lay at my feet. I hadn’t even taken my heels off. He tugged open his fly, freeing his cock. He hitched one of my legs up around his hip before plunging inside me without much warning. My skirt was bunched up at the front in between us, but it didn’t stop him thrusting into me.

“Aiden…” I groaned.

“Fuck, Avery. I’m going to fuck you so hard.”

“Please, please fuck me. I missed you.”

I wrapped my other leg around him as he picked me up and pressed me into the wall. He fucked me ruthlessly, grinding into me with powerful thrusts until I was panting and moaning, my fingers digging into his shoulders. I felt so hot in this dress. Sweat beaded at the back of my neck, but I didn’t ask him to stop and take it off. All I wanted was the sweet release he’d give me.

He bit down on my earlobe, causing me to cry out. The sensations rushed through me all at once. I came apart on his cock, completely undone by the magic of the day. He grunted through his own end. My head lolled on his shoulder. Fuck. Aiden really did give me the most intense orgasms. I couldn’t get enough of them or him.

“I love you,” I whispered. “I’m yours forever now.”

“My wife.”

Hearing him say that made me smile. Happiness bloomed inside me.

“My husband.”

He pulled me away from the wall and carried me into the room on his hips, still nestled inside me. He laid me down on the huge bed, which was covered in rose petals, and stared down at me.

“You couldn’t be more beautiful if you tried,” he told me. “You’re everything to me. My reason for existing.”

He knelt on the floor and slipped off my shoes before tugging me up so he could unzip the back of the dress. He slowly pulled it off me, leaving me naked before him since he’d already discarded my underwear. He folded it over the back of a chair so as not to ruin it before coming back over to me. He let me help him out of his clothes.

“I should really put cream on your tattoos before we go to sleep,” he said as he pressed me back down onto the bed and crawled over me. “Remind me.”

I nodded. I’d had to get Gert to help me yesterday. She’d done my shoulder whilst I’d made sure to do my arm and wrist. I’d only got inked two weeks ago by Ben. Whilst it was healing up nicely, it still itched like crazy on occasion.

I reached up, cupping his face with one hand and running my thumb over his lip.

“Aiden… You’ve always been the one. You found a way into my heart and branded yourself on it, making it entirely impossible for me to ever really walk away from you. We’ve hurt each other, done things we’re not proud of, but today… none of that matters. I love you forever. I’m yours. Every part of me. Whatever happens, remember this as the day I gave myself to you freely. Remember I love you unconditionally. Remember that no matter how much pain and heartbreak we go through, we always have each other.”

There was a long second of silence as he stared down at me.

“Fuck… princess,” he said, his voice breaking on the word.

A single tear slipped down his right cheek. An emotion I’d never thought I’d ever witness from Aiden. My strong, fiercely protective husband cried. I knew they weren’t tears of sadness, but something else. Something so much deeper. He hadn’t even cried when he told me about his mother’s murder. This was the moment I realised the true depth of his feelings for me. We didn’t need words any longer.

I pulled him towards me and kissed him. Despite his threat earlier to fuck me roughly, Aiden pressed my legs open and took me with gentle thrusts. I savoured every moment his hands were on me, fingers brushing across my skin as mine wound around his back. The whispered ‘I love yous’ as we kissed and made love to each other.

As we both lay there, wrapped up in each other’s arms after we’d reached a mutual conclusion, I knew that if everything else fell apart after this, I’d have this one day to hold onto. This one memory of a day between us which was perfect and untainted.

Little did I know it came to be the only thing which kept me from falling into a dark pit of despair.

And Aiden… he was the only person who would ever understand the pain my actions caused.

The ones that left a permanent stain on my soul.
