Chapter Twenty-six - Yours

Aria’s POV.

A loud gasp expelled from my lips, my eyes widening as my gaze trailed Shane’s naked body, still dripping with water. My heart thudded in my chest as my curious gaze traveled down his body, down to his groin and I felt my stomach tightening and curling with a strange sensation when my eyes landed on his hardening manhood.

Another gasp flew out of my lips as my eyes widened even more. It was my first time seeing a dick and as shocked as I was, I couldn’t stop nor explain the thrill that ran through me as I kept staring at it. Gradually, I noticed it began to grow hard. I was so lost in the sight before me that I’d forgotten it was Shane that I was shamelessly ogling until the sound of his voice pulled me out of my trance.

“Aria…” he groaned in a deep guttural voice that quickly snapped me out of my reverie and as soon as my eyes landed on his, I did the first thing that registered in my head to run away.

One minute I was staring into his darkening forest green orbs and the next I was jumping around to make my exit but as soon as my fingers wrapped around the door knob, I felt a strong arm wrap around my waist before pulling me flushed against a hard body.

My back met with his hard chest and I felt the warm heat from his body sipping into mine. His arm tightened around my waist while his other arm was placed on mine that was still holding on to the door knob.

“Don’t run from me, angel,” he growled in my ear, his deep husky voice washing over me.

A shiver racked my body as he nuzzled my neck, pressing open-mouthed kisses on the sensitive skin behind my ear, with his warm breath fanning my neck. The hairs on the back of my neck were standing with my heart palpitating as a thrilling sensation shot up my spine. But then I felt his hard rod pressing against my ass and I froze, tensing against him.

“Tell me you’ll stay while I dress up,” he whispered in my ears and I gulped, licking my lips as I struggled to find words to respond to him. “Angel…” he growled again in that deep voice that always set off butterflies in my stomach.

All I wanted was to run away and hide from him but the sensations traveling through me were lighting my nerve endings on fire and I wasn’t sure what I wanted. It felt like my body was on fire and I wanted some kind of relief as I felt a liquid pool in my core.

I felt the strong energy Hailey was projecting as she purred continuously.

“Baby…” Shane called again, feasting on my neck with his lips. At this point, it felt as though my knees were jelly and would give out on me if he let me go.

“O-okay…” I murmured in a breathy voice that I could barely recognize as mine.

I closed my eyes and held on tightly to the door knob so I wouldn’t fall if he pulled away. But for a minute he didn’t move. He slowly grazed his nose from my neck to my ear lobe, while dragging in deep breaths. Then he pressed another open-mouthed kiss to the sensitive spot beside my ear and he was gone.

A breath I hadn’t known I was holding expelled from my lungs as I stayed rooted to the spot, waiting for him to return with my heart still slamming hard against my chest while the memory of his hard naked body kept hovering around my head. The more I thought about it, the tighter my stomach curled and the more my core pulsed and quivered. At one point, I dragged in a deep breath just to calm myself as it felt as though I was losing myself but it didn’t help.

I was still standing there, holding onto the door knob with my eyes closed when I felt his arm on my shoulder.

“Come on, angel,” He gently turned me around and I opened my eyes but my gaze was still focused on the floor. I felt his finger on my chin before he tipped it up until our eyes met. I gulped.

His intense green orbs stared into mine with an unreadable expression etched on his face.

“urghh,” he growled, closing his eyes and dragging in a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, he cupped my cheek and his thumb traced my lower lip.

A whimper that I wasn’t expecting flew out of my lips and my eyes instantly widened.

“Fucking hell…” he groan, his hand falling away. A wave of disappointment crashed into me from the loss of contact. “Don’t look at me like that, angel,”

“Huh…”

He blinked and grabbed my arm, pulling me to sit on the bed.

“You have no idea what you’re indirectly asking for,” he said before leaving me there as he took the telephone sitting on the nightstand. He called a maid to bring his dinner and to also clean up the mess I’d unintentionally made on entering his room.

Thereafter, he walked towards the window overlooking the woods that surrounded the property and stayed there with his back to me, leaving me to wonder if I’d done anything wrong. But the train of my thoughts was broken when a knock sounded on the door a few moments later and he opened it to reveal two maids.

One brought in his dinner and set it on the nightstand before leaving while the other one cleaned up the pieces of broken plates and the food scattered about.

After they were done, they left, and once again, I was all alone with Shane.

“Have you eaten?” he finally asked, breaking the silence and I merely nodded.

The silence returned as he sat to eat. I kept my gaze on the floor and I didn’t know how long it was until I heard the door opening and my eyes darted to it to see another maid clearing the dishes. The loud slam of the door announced her exit and I sat there, with my heart still slamming hard against my chest. But then I felt the side of the bed beside me dip and Shane dropped into it, wrapping his arms around my waist to pull me on his lap.

“Come on, angel…”

“I’m sorry,” I blurted out before he could complete his words. I raised my head and my eyes met his. “I’m sorry I walked in on you naked. I didn’t…”

“Shhh…” he placed a finger on my lips before I could complete my words. “Never apologize for seeing me naked. I’m all yours,” he winked at me and my cheeks heated up. He tugged on my chin until our eyes met again. “I mean it, angel,”

I could see the intensity in his eyes and I could hear it in his voice. It made my heart rate increase. I gulped.

“R-really?” I didn’t know where that word came from but the thoughts of another woman seeing him that way didn’t sit well with me and it also had Hailey seething.

He rested his forehead on mine, his lips dangerously close to mine as I felt his warm breath fanning mine.

“Always, baby. I’m yours,”

Somehow, his words aroused so many emotions in me that in the next minute, I found myself sealing my lips to his.
