“Dinner, what would you like?”

“Whatever you’re ordering?” I tell him.

“I’m cooking chicken pasta.” Aiden looks over his shoulder at me, and I nod to let him know I’m happy with whatever he wants to eat.

Following him to the kitchen, I see the laptop and the blank screen, but on the side is Lee’s name. I make my way over to Aiden as he takes things out of the fridge.

“Want some help?” My finger traces over the tattoo on his arm, up to his chest.

“You not teasing me would be good.”

“Teasing? Who, me?” I slowly, very slowly lick my bottom lip. “I would never.” I start checking him out, my eyes roaming just as slowly over him.

Aiden lifts me to sit on the counter and stands between my legs. “You checking me out gets me every time.” His lips tease mine, licking them, biting the bottom lip, then his finger moves up to mouth, and before he can say anything to me, I start sucking on it, licking it, his eyes gaze burning into mine the whole time.

Aiden pulls his finger out, moving it down my neck, as his other hand moves up my thigh and flicks my clit. “And this is why I didn’t want you to wear anything.” He gives my clit ring a pull, and I moan a little.

“And I love that you know how to make me feel so...” I trail off as he pushes my clit ring in the right way, making me jolt into his hand.

“Make you feel so, what, Saylor?”

“Aiden.” I drop my head on his shoulder at the sound of a voice coming from his laptop, as he starts laughing. “Did you just fuck, you two are crazy.” I hear the voice again, and Aiden looks at me and mouths sorry.

“Not my fault, she’s just-” I quickly put my hand over his mouth, so that no more words escape to make this worse.

He gives me a wink, and then walks away to the laptop. “So how much did you hear?” Aiden brings the laptop over to the counter where he is cooking.

“Enough to know that you were about to do something I really didn’t want to listen to.” They both start laughing.

I go to walk away, but Aiden looks at me, and I tell him I’m going to put some trousers on.

Aiden moves out of the screen, and closer to me. “Leave them off,” he says, then pulls me closer to him so that I’m on the screen with him. “Lee, this is Saylor. Saylor, this is my brother Lee.”

“Hello, Saylor. Very nice to finally meet you.” Lee gives me a smile, then his eyes move over to Aiden.

I clear my throat. “Nice to meet you too.” I get the words out, and I go to step away to let them talk, but Aiden keeps a tight grip around my waist. “Aiden mentioned that you’re in China. Is it as beautiful as it seems?” I ask. It’s important to Aiden that Lee likes me, and I will try my best to make that happen.

“It is. I found a beautiful girl, and now I’m going to travel a little more of the country,” he tells me.

I smile as Lee and Aiden look so alike; they have the same eyes, and their upper lips are the same too. If these few seconds of talking to him and hearing him talk to Aiden tell me anything, it’s that I’m going to say that their personalities are about the same as well.

“You’ve not been to the great wall of China yet?” I ask in shock. That is the first place I would go; it’s one of the most famous places in the world.

“Not yet, Zhi has a few things planned, and then I told her I want to come home and see my brother for a week,” he tells me.

I look over at Aiden as he starts cooking, and then he comes closer to the laptop. “Is Zhi going to come with you?”

“Yes, she thinks I should be telling Mum about us, and I’m hoping my big brother-”

“No, no, not going to happen. When you go over to tell her, I might leave the country, I’m not staying around for that bomb to go off.” Aiden starts laughing. I’m not sure if Aiden is joking about that or not.

“What happened to looking after your baby brother?”

“What happened to not telling Mum?” Aiden asks, and now I’m worried about meeting any more of his family. Is his mum really that scary?

“We will talk about this later. So Saylor, Aiden said that you’re a yoga instructor? Zhi goes to classes here all the time.”

“I am. I’ve been reading up on yoga in China, and have been using the practice in classes,” I answer and lean into Aiden’s side. “What do you do?”
