Ayden's Secret Page 9

  Charlie raised both hands to cup her ample bosom. She stroked her thumbs over her nipples, and as her breath caught, so did Ayden’s. He didn’t put a shirt on, so she could see his chest rising and falling in rhythm with hers. His thumbs on his knees stirred.

  “They’re big and heavy, and you’d pluck and pull until finally…” Charlie lifted her right breast high as she shifted her face down. “You would lick it and suck the nipples till I just went mad with need.”

  Ayden watched as she stroked her own tongue over the nipple on her right breast. He didn’t know a woman could do that, but Charlie had ample cleavage and a nice long tongue. His tongue moved inside his mouth mocking the motions. He desperately wanted to stroke those puckered, pink, silver dollar sized nipples with his own hands, explore her with his own mouth.

  “Then.” She scooted a little farther back on the bed and propped her legs up. “You would open my legs, like this.”

  Charlie slid her hands over her knees and pulled her thighs wide apart, so he could see her. All of her. She thought he was going to fall out of the chair. Instead, he shifted around a bit and settled back in.

  Ayden could see it all. Charlie was hair free because of the little costumes she wore on stage. He knew that when she took the dress off. Nothing quite prepared him to see it like this though. She looked like an exotic plant or some wild fruit. He just wanted to taste her, just a little bit.

  “Can you see me, Ayden?” Charlie was sure she heard the chair scoot along the floor. In her mind, she hadn’t thought about him moving the chair, but he didn’t seem any closer so maybe he was adjusting. He looked wild. Like a real wolf. His blue eyes were flamed, and she could have sworn he was drooling.

  “Open a little more.” He growled.

  When Charlie’s breath caught at his words, he realized she could be affected. When she opened farther just to please him, he almost lost it. His cock strained against the cotton pajamas, and he had to keep his hands on his knees to keep from easing the pain.

  “Then.” Charlie put her fingers in her mouth and pulled them out slowly. Watching Ayden watch, her was such a turn on she felt on the verge of climax. “You would slide your fingers right here.”

  Charlie slid her thumbs along the outer folds and opened the swollen flesh so he could see. She was ready. He hadn’t touched a woman in a long time, but he knew she was ready. The pink skin glistened and flexed at her touch, and he inched the chair forward. She didn’t say he had to remain in the corner, just in the chair.

  “And then you would stroke lightly up and down.” Her toes began to curl, and her legs began to waiver. “Then slide a thick hot finger inside.”

  “God, Charlie.” Ayden was on the verge of insanity. Violent with need. He was going to break the damn chair if she didn’t let him touch her soon.

  “You like that, Ayden?”

  “Yes, I do.” He inched closer again.

  “Say darlin’. I love when you call me darlin’,” Charlie confessed. She did love that he used that little term of endearment with her.

  “Yes, darlin’, I like it.” He felt his heart tugging. He only called a few women darlin’: his sisters and Charlie, aside from his mother. The only women he cared about. No, this was not the time to think about it.

  “Good. Watch me, Ayden.”

  “I may need to move closer.” Ayden wanted to move all the way in. Charlie just smiled and didn’t tell him he couldn’t, so he inched the chair again. There was still a lot of floor to cross though.

  “You would say to me, Charlie, you’re so tight and hot and wet.” She worked two fingers in and out mindlessly. “I would say, of course I am. I haven’t let another man touch me since the day I met you.”

  “I’ll touch you, Charlie.” Ayden thought that maybe he could convince her. She was closing in on a climax, and he wanted to feel that with his own hands, taste it with his own mouth. Damn, she had been untouched in over ten years. That sparked a primal urge that made him ready to howl. “I’d like to taste you.”

  “Then you would lick your fingers like this.” She had to ignore him. He was telling her everything she wanted to hear, and she really wanted him to be the one touching her.

  He watched her pull the fingers up and lick them, and he struggled to keep his eyes open. The room was starting to spin. How could she do this? He was blind with lust, but he promised to stay in that chair. No chairs in any bedrooms from now on, he thought.

  “Do you taste good, Charlie?” Ayden struggled to speak.

  “Mmmm, yes,” she replied.

  “Can I taste you?” Please say yes!

  “And then you would press your tongue right here.” No way was she going to give in that easily. She slid her fingers over her swollen clitoris and began circling and stroking. “And you would lick and suck and tease me, over and over.”

  He could see she was reaching her peak as her legs began closing in at the knees, and she fought to make sure he still had a good view. Damn it! She would come before he could get there.

  “Are you going to come for me, Charlie?” Ayden was ready to explode. She knew it. She had him right where she wanted him, out of control, or so she thought.

  “Harder and faster…” Charlie climbed that peak on her own. Watching Ayden inch the chair closer, she knew she had to speed it up or he would take her. “Yes, Ayden.”

  It was too late. He was within inches of her, still in the chair when she collapsed calling his name. Her hand covered her wet mound, and her legs trembled. He felt like a coiled spring wound too tightly. He had to release. It was beyond pain not to, but he wanted to be with Charlie, inside her, feeling her milk his orgasm with her own. Not sitting next to her bed watching her come while she called his name. Though he had to admit it was quite a treat.

  “Charlie?” he rasped.

  “Mmmm?” She still felt his tension on the air. She expected him to have come from it all, sought his release, but he had discipline. She could feel his heat at her legs. His breath was passing over her skin in warm tickling waves.

  “Can I touch you?” Ayden was right there next to her now. He could smell the heat from her body. The sweetness of her orgasm filled the air. Her hand still covered in her own juices lay in place. She was limp and lifeless, making him ache. He felt like ravaging her and taking credit for her satisfaction.

  “Yes.” Charlie knew it was too soon, but she wanted him so badly. She had wanted him for so long. How could she deny him now when her body called out for him?

  Ayden lifted the hand that covered her. He wasn’t going to have sex with her. She made it clear she wasn’t ready for that, but he had to at least taste her. He had to find his own release that threatened to consume him with madness.

  His hand was hot and trembling; she could feel it. Then she felt his lips, soft and sensual against her fingertips. The air pulled deep over them. Then a hot, thick tongue licked out and over her fingers.

  Chapter 8

  God she tasted good. Ayden inhaled the scent so deeply it settled into his lungs and clung to him, planting a permanent memory. He licked her long thin fingers taking them in his mouth one by one sucking them clean. His cock strained for freedom, and he cupped his hand over it for release.

  The doorbell rang.

  “Ayden?” Charlie was in a thick fog of emotions. He was licking and sucking her fingers, eating her whole, like he wanted to take every inch of her body in his mouth at his leisure. She desperately wanted him to do just that. “Is that the doorbell?”

  The bell rang again.

  Reality lifted the fog, and he looked at the clock on her nightstand. Ten p.m.

  “We’ll pick this up later, darlin’.” Ayden stood on shaky legs. “I promise you that.”

  Charlie watched with wonder as he staggered to her door. She had accomplished her mission. Ayden wanted her. He really wanted her. It felt so good.

  Ayden grumbled and growled all the way downstairs. He hurt with need, and someone was at the damn door. If it wasn�
��t for the hour, he would have let them wait. Ten o’clock was late for visitors. It must be important.

  “Ayden?” Tom looked his brother-in-law over. He was sweating and breathing like he just got off a treadmill. Of course, he was also pitching quite a tent in the pajama’s, which made Tom think they should have called ahead of time like he‘d suggested. Ayden knew they were still planning to visit for the reunion, but he didn’t know they would be there for sure tonight.

  “Shit!” Ayden shook his head. Noel was on her way up the porch stairs with the baby and Tom had two bags and a portable playpen in hand. “It’s the third isn’t it?”

  “Yeah. We can go to Evelyn’s…” Tom started.

  “No, no, no.” Ayden’s tent deflated quickly, and he prayed Charlie put real clothes on if she decided to come downstairs. “Come in, come in.”

  Tom entered the house.

  “I’ll be right back.” Ayden ran for the stairs. He couldn’t kiss his little sister with the taste of Charlie in his mouth and touch his niece with her on his hands. Shit! This was the worst timing ever.

  “Charlie?” Ayden tapped on her door then opened it. She was asleep, naked and still sprawled out. So tempting.

  “Charlie, darlin’.” Ayden shook her. As her sleepy eyes opened, he wanted to kiss her and pull her into his arms. “My sister and brother-in-law are here.”

  “Oh,” Charlie said in a satisfied, sleepy tone.

  Ayden knew she was asleep for the night. He would see to it she knew they were there in the morning. He slipped over to his room while Tom argued with Noel to hold on. She was coming up the stairs anyways. He knew that for sure.

  * * *

  Noel stormed into his bedroom with her hands on her hips and looked up at him with a scowl.

  “Ayden Wolf, why did you run off without seeing me?” Noel was too mad to realize his condition.

  Ayden tried to speak with the toothbrush in his mouth, but she didn’t understand. He rinsed his mouth out. “I had to brush my teeth.”

  “That makes no sense,” she snapped.

  “Baby, that makes a lot of sense if you would calm down a minute.” Tom reached for his wife and tried tugging her out of the room. There wasn’t a woman in Ayden’s bedroom thankfully, so maybe he was watching porn. Either way, it wasn’t his business or Noel’s.

  “It’s all right, Tom. I just had dessert. Charlie made me a wonderful dinner and…”

  “Oh that’s right. Shit.” Noel cautiously looked around the bedroom as if a woman would jump out at any moment.

  “Baby, let’s get settled in.” Tom was more successful in tugging the woman away now.

  “Where is she?” Noel asked quietly.

  “She’s asleep.” Ayden sighed.

  “Is she invisible?” Noel asked smartly.

  “No.” Ayden laughed. Noel had grown up with him since she was nine. She was a real little sister, bossy like Evelyn, but more curious and sassy. Evelyn was curious and lethal. “She’s in her room.”

  “Oh. Well, when do I get to meet her?” Noel stopped in the doorway against Tom’s insistent tugging.

  “In the morning.” Ayden laughed and followed them out of his bedroom and downstairs.

  Page was sleeping in the stroller, her red hair sticking out all over her head. She looked like her mother. Ayden unfastened the baby, who was almost one, and held her.

  “She’s such a little princess.” Ayden kissed her forehead. She smelled like baby. Her little lips pursed together in a tight bow, and her fat cheeks made him smile. She looked like a baby doll in a store. He wanted children of his own before he turned forty. Time was catching up with him, and he had begun to realize it.

  “Yeah, let’s see if you think that in about three hours when she starts screaming to eat.” Noel plopped into a chair. “So where’s the cake, pie, whatever?”

  “What are you talking about?” Ayden looked around the counter trying to see what she was looking at. He could definitely eat again.

  “Dessert?” Noel said taking note of the wrought iron table in the center of the floor. “Why in the world would you put that there?”

  “Honey, I think we should just settle in first while Page is still sleeping.” Tom shook his head.

  Was it so beyond thought that Ayden could be with a woman? Tom had known Ayden since they were in the Navy. He practically dragged him to the FBI with him, and he had met Charlie twice when she was hiding out in Ayden’s apartment years ago. She was the only woman Ayden wasn’t related to that lit a smile on his face. Tom never discussed Charlie with Noel. It was Ayden’s business.

  “Yeah, settle in while I spend time with my niece.” Ayden walked to the living room and flipped on the television. He hated not living close to Noel and Tom, especially now that Page was there, but he had spent years with Noel. He needed to spend time with Evelyn. Since Evelyn married Joshua, that meant he had to live in North Carolina.

  Noel huffed back out the door to get her bags, and Tom apologized to Ayden as he backed out the door behind her.

  Ayden shrugged it off. Noel was a little brat; he made her that way. She had been abused and tortured, and when she came to live with Ayden’s mother and step-father, they all just spoiled her rotten. She had a great big heart and always saw the best in everyone and everything. It was easy to love her, and it was easy to make her into a spoiled little diva. Noel fussed over those she loved, to an annoying fault, but it was just her way. Thank God Tom had patience.

  Chapter 9

  Joshua and Evelyn had escaped the busy house and enjoyed a quiet dinner alone at The Net House. Evelyn took him on the same walk they had taken the first time they had eaten there. Now she stopped at the same spot she stopped at over a year ago to ask him an important question.

  “Do you love me, Joshua?” Evelyn smiled as he stood behind her and rested his chin on her head. The same way he did on that first dinner date.

  “More than life itself.” Joshua hugged her close. She had been so moody lately. Maybe things were changing too fast in her life. He had feared a small town life wouldn’t be enough for Evelyn. She was a bounty hunter, always in the thick of danger, seeking out adventure. Now she ran a fitness studio doing what she did best. Teaching people martial arts, yoga, and a couple other classes he didn’t fully understand, but was it enough? “Do you still love me?”

  “You know I do.” Evelyn smiled and sank right into him.

  “You know how we were talking about starting a family soon?” Evelyn eased into it. They planned to start next year. She had only been off the birth control shot for three months. They said it could take up to a year to get out of her system, apparently not.

  “Next year when you would be more comfortable with the business.” Joshua felt a lump in his throat. He didn’t want to wait any longer. Having the kids around made him wish for his own. Teaching second grade was getting harder to do. The kids reminded him of what he wanted and didn’t have, at least not yet.

  “Do you want to wait that long?” Evelyn knew it was a loaded question. She was the one who insisted they wait at least two years.

  “I want what you want.” Joshua kissed the top of her head and smelled her hair. She still used the jasmine shampoo. It still made him crazy for her. “So then you’re ready now?” Evelyn tilted her head back and looked at him upside down.

  “Are you?” He smiled and turned her to face him.

  “I better be.” Evelyn took a deep breath. “Because I am.”

  “Pregnant?” Joshua bent to look her eye to eye. “Baby, are you saying we’re having a baby?”

  “Yes.” Evelyn smiled. He looked so relieved and happy it eased all her worries instantly.

  Joshua opened a big hand over her belly. “God, Evelyn, we’re having a baby.”

  “Are you scared?” She was.

  “No. Are you?” Joshua hugged her tight and rocked her.

  “A little,” she admitted. “I mean I have no control over this. My body is already crazy. I have eaten al
most all Noel’s cookies.”

  “I know.” He laughed. Noel mailed them two dozen cookies, and he had eaten only one; then they were gone. He searched the house after Evelyn came back to bed tasting like cookies and found them stashed on top of the entertainment center. He thought that maybe it was a serious case of PMS.

  “How did you know? Did Malcolm tell you?” Evelyn was serious now. She would kick his butt if he told on her.

  “Baby, you came back to bed tasting like chocolate chip cookies and randy as hell. I searched the house.” Joshua smiled. “I thought Noel put some serious aphrodisiac in those cookies.”

  “Joshua.” She swatted at him.

  “Come on, let’s go home and wake the house.” Joshua turned and bent down. Evelyn jumped on his back, and he carried her down the street toward the house.

  “I don’t want to tell everyone right away. I want to go to the doctor and see how far along I am.” Evelyn kissed his cheek.

  “I hadn’t planned on telling them anything.”

  “You said we’d wake the house?” Evelyn questioned.

  “Indeed.” Joshua was ready to take her home and make love to her. They had been quiet the past couple nights because the house was full of guests. He was too charged up now with the news to care about all the people there. Hell, they had been sneaking off all day to be alone. It was his house, his wife, and they would make as much noise as they damn well pleased.

  “You are so bad.” Evelyn bit a gentle love bite on his neck. He growled a low growl. She loved when he growled. “Shit!

  “What?” Joshua stopped and automatically started to pull her off his back to protect her.

  “Stop that.” Evelyn swatted. “Noel and Tom are here. I see the car.”
