“Don’t apologize.” His hands skim up my arms and he squeezes my shoulder. “Did I do something wrong?”
I narrow him with a teasing glare. “You know damn well you didn’t.”
He grins, his hands kneading along my triceps.
“Fuck. That feels good.”
“Better than sex?”
“A close second.” I sigh, the exhaustion of the day hitting me all at once. I could fall asleep, right here and now.
“You’re tired?” Aiden presses a kiss to my forehead.
“I’m always tired.”
“I should take you home.”
“But you haven’t . . .” I gesture toward his cock.
“Oh.” He flashes me a grin. “Don’t worry about that guy. He’s just excited.”
“You’re not worried about blue balls?”
“The only thing I’m concerned with is if you enjoyed what we just did together.”
“Oh.” I can’t recall a single time Jake went down on me without expecting the act to be reciprocated. “Okay.”
“Yeah.” He grins. “So, you let me know when you want me to take you home.”
“Not yet.” I want to stay in this moment just a little longer. I’m not ready to face reality. My life is messy enough as it is, but hooking up with Aiden certainly adds a new layer of complication. I want to ask him what this means. Was this just a one-time thing? Two people getting carried away? Or does he want more? I’m scared to ask the questions. Especially when I don’t know what I want.
“Here.” He moves us over to the shallow water and sits. “Let me rub your feet.”
“Oh, you don’t have to—” I start, but he cuts me off.
“I want to.” He waits for me to move next to him, then takes my feet in his lap. His fingers knead into my muscles.
“Oh, fuck. That feels good.”Is there anything he can’t do?
“Your muscles are so tight.”
“Yeah.”
“You’ve been putting in a lot of hours.”
“I have.” That’s not the only reason, though. “But also my body is falling apart.”
“I beg to differ. Your body is just right.” He eyes my breasts hungrily.
“Aiden.”
“Sorry. I’m distracted by your perfect tits.”
I roll my eyes and laugh. “They have that effect on you.”
He reaches for my other foot and resumes massaging. “Why do you think your body is falling apart?”
His question is so direct I find it impossible to avoid. Should I trust him? It would feel good to share this with someone. He surely won’t react the way Jake did when I told him my diagnosis. I almost pull away from Aiden at the memory.
