“You ok with being blindfolded?” He asked.
She had no intention of saying no, “Put it on.”
He smiled wickedly as he wrapped it around her head and blocking out the light. Her body tensed in anticipation as she waited for him. All she could hear was slight rustling as he moved around the room. She jumped as his hand touched her knee and she laughed at herself for the jumpiness. His hand stilled as he waited for her to calm back down.
She sighed with a moan when he started to stroke up her thigh but it turned to a whimper when he skipped her centre and stroked down her other leg. He followed the trail again but on the inside of her legs, which trembled from the touch. She felt him move his hands onto her torso and trail his fingers up and round her breasts without touching her aching nipples. She whimpered with need and her body ached for release. She pleaded for him to touch her but she just heard him chuckle and carry on torturing her with his light touch and ignoring the parts she needed touched. She felt the bed dip and moist lips kissing a trail on her body before his tongue repeated the same trail his fingers did. She arched into his touch and pulled on the restraints and begged for him.
He rewarded her by taking a nipple into his mouth and it set off several sparks inside her easing some of the tension. She soon tensed again as his hand moved down her torso and slip between her legs, parting her sensitive lips and easing a finger inside her. She groaned as he started to thrust in and out of her, but it wasn’t enough friction for her, she needed his cock to pound inside her. He flicked his thumb over her clit and kept rubbing it lightly slowly bringing her to the edge and stopped as she started convulse. He left her body and she felt the loss instantly but before she could complain he returned and felt his nakedness as he climbed on top of her and thrust inside her in one go which set Imogen off and the sudden climax claimed her body. He didn’t let her recover before starting to thrust in and out of her hard and fast and she could feel the tension building again. Being tied up added to the tension as she was at the mercy of his pounding and she loved every minute of it. He whipped the blindfold of her as she started to come again and kissed her hard as his body tightened as his own orgasm rocked through him. He collapsed on top of her and they both panted as they tried to get their breaths back. Aaron quickly untied her and got them under the covers before both of them fell asleep.
Chapter 9
“Right guys, game time.”
Aaron joined his teammates in a group chant as they got ready to go out and play the last game of the season. His body was pumped and also he knew Imogen was here and was excited for her to see another game and see her after.
He loved this part of the game where they walked out to the home crowd chanting and cheering as the team walked to their starting positions.
They were attacking towards the Carnegie Stand first and he could hear the away fans behind him booing which made laugh and get pumped to beat the opposing team St Helens.
The whistle blew and they were off, he chased up the field to get in the thick of the action and tackled the player coming towards him. Leeds held firm and got the ball and attached up field. Aaron caught the ball and ran up the field and before being tackled threw the ball to Matt who managed to get through a break in St Helens defence and sprinted to the try line and got the ball down for the first try of the game. Aaron celebrated with Matt and then waited for Neil to kick the conversion over.
He avoided looking into the stand to see if Imogen was there as he needed to concentrate but he felt her presence. It lifted him and he had fallen for her and wanted to make their relationship more serious but he had to put it out of his mind and concentrate on the game. They needed to win this one to secure their position at the top of the table and win the league and be in the best position for the Grand Final playoffs.
They kicked off again. They battled for the ball and soon St Helens had managed to get through Leeds and score a try.
The scores were even and each team fought to get good position and fight to each other’s try line. Half time siren sounded and they were still tie on the score.
Aaron was frustrated as he made a couple of mistakes in the first half and was determined to rectify that in the second half.
Imogen was biting her fingernails as the second half progressed. Both teams had scored tries again but Neil had missed the conversion making Leeds trail behind St Helens by 2 points. It was the second game she had come to and she loved it but it was nerve-racking as each team battled it out and some of the tackles knocked her breath away. It looked so brutal as the players clashed and brought each other to the ground. They were in the last 5 minutes of the game and Leeds had to score a try to win but St Helens were making it hard for them and Leeds were defending their line tirelessly. But as St Helens threw the ball to their winger Aaron intercepted it and started to sprint down the field. Imogen along with Meg stood up and screamed as Aaron ran evading the chasing players and starting to slide along the ground to reach the try line and score the winning try. The whole stadium erupted as Aaron stood back up as all the team members rushed to celebrate. A hush came over the crowd as Neil set up the ball to kick the conversion. He stood waiting like he was calming himself and then he went for it and the ball seemed to go in slow motion as it headed for the posts and Imogen couldn’t work out if it went through the posts or not but the crowd erupted again as the game officials raised their flags in confirmation of the goal.
They kicked off again for the last couple of minutes and it seemed the time went slow as Leeds fought to keep their lead and not let St Helens through. As it reached the last 10 seconds the crowd started to count down and the siren went to signal the end of the game and Imogen cheered along with the rest of the fans as they celebrated Leeds winning the game.
Imogen could feel her heart pumping hard as the rush of watching the game had captivated her. She was pleased for Aaron as he seem tense for the past couple of days and she knew that they needed to win.
It was amazing to see him do that try and just watching him had her hot and bothered. She hoped he wasn’t too tired from the game as she needed him again. They waited in the stands as the team received the League Leader’s Shield and then do the walk around the ground signing the kids shirts and autograph books.
“Come on, let’s go and get some drinks, they might be a while.” Meg led them to the players’ lounge.
This time Meg introduced Imogen to a few of the wives and girlfriends and they chatted as they waited for their men to come in.
Imogen’s body tingled as she sensed Aaron had come into the room. As she waited for him to get to her he she realised how much she had fallen in love with him and was hoping he was worth the risk of her heart. As he had worked his way into her heart and soul.
“Hello,” he whispered into her ear as he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her.
She leaned back, “Hello to you too.
Aaron pulled her away from everyone and walked back out into the quiet hallway where Aaron pushed Imogen up against the wall and held her there with his strong body.
Lust and want flooded her body as Aaron pinned her and gripped her face in his hands and kiss her hard. He ground against her as she kissed him back and she held onto him not wanting to let go.
A few minutes of him kissing her deeply they came up for air.
Aaron rested his forehead against hers and they looked into each other’s eyes.
“I needed that.” Aaron said as he stroked her arms.
Imogen licked her lips but before she could reply there was sniggering behind them and she saw Daniel walking past, “You two need to get a room.”
Aaron wracked his brother in the arm just as Daniel escaped into the bar. Imogen laughed as Aaron turned back to her, “Give me an hour and we are out of here and in your bed.”
“That sounds like a plan.” Imogen reached up and gripped Aaron’s head and pulled him down for another deep soul searching kiss.
“Damn, make that half hour!” A
aron exclaimed as they parted.
They walked back through the door into the bar and chatted with a few of the players and girlfriends when Nathan, one of the back room staff, came up and joined the group.
“Alright guys?” Nathan took a sip of his beer.
“Nathan,” Aaron nodded to Nathan, “Have you met Imogen?”
“No, not yet.” Nathan shook Imogen’s hand. “So you are the young lady that is finally taming this player here.”
Imogen chuckled, “I am not too sure about that but I am must be doing something right as he is still interested.”
Aaron laughed, but got called away from one of the players before he could make a response and left Imogen with Nathan.
“You must be doing something as Aaron has turned down a deal to join a team in Sydney.”
“Wow, I didn’t know that.” Imogen was shocked by the news and confused as well. They haven’t said anything about what is happening between them, so to hear that he has turned down a chance to join another team on the other side of the world was shocking.
What did it mean? Did he not join for her or was there other reasons for him not taking that transfer.
“Shit, sorry I thought you knew.” Nathan looked stricken.
“Don’t worry about it.” Imogen could sense that he wanted to be elsewhere, “I’m going to go and talk to Meg. Nice meeting you.”
“You too.”
Imogen walked over to Meg who was getting her bag. “You leaving?”
“Yes, got to get up early, I got to sort out an afternoon party at the hotel tomorrow. Are you staying?”
Imogen looked round towards Aaron who was laughing with his friends. “I will come with you. Aaron can follow me.”
“You sure?”
“Yeah, got tired all of a sudden. Must be all the excitement of the game.”
Meg smiled, “Come on.”
They walked out to Meg’s car while Imogen sent a quick text to Aaron telling him to follow her when he was finished.
Imogen was dropped off at her flat and just let herself in when she heard the door buzzer. She unlocked the door latch and Aaron soon bounded up the stairs.
“Hey,” he kissed her as he walked in the door. “Why did you go?”
“Just got tired and thought it was best to leave you with your friends.”
He frowned, “What is the matter?”
Imogen shrugged, she was still reeling from the news that he could have gone off to Australia and didn’t discuss any of it with her. She couldn’t believe that she had found love again but it could have disappeared just as quick because of his plans.
He grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. “Now tell me what is wrong.”
She didn’t know how to bring it up and didn’t know if she wanted to but she had to. “I just overheard about your possible move to Australia.”
“Ahh shit.” He let her go and moved away.
He rubbed his hands through his hair. “I got an offer three months ago and didn’t know what to do. I have been with Leeds since my professional career started and when that offer came in I thought yes it would be fun to have a new challenge. But leaving Leeds is like leaving my family and I couldn’t do it. Then I met you and you changed my world.”
He took a deep breath and carried on, “I didn’t think I was ready to settle down with anyone. I was still enjoying being the player and having causal relationships. Then I met you and you walked away and gave me a real challenge for a change. When I got to spend more time with you and realised you could be someone that I could actually be with in a serious relationship. You are turning into the love of my life and I am sorry that I didn’t tell you about Australia but I had already made my mind up and signed a new deal with Leeds.”
They stood in silence as Imogen processed what he said. She couldn’t believe it. This man just admitted that he loved her. Sure he didn’t tell her about Australia but does she really have the right to be angry when he decided before he met her. It was the shock of finding out by someone else that really bothered her.
She turned towards him and felt the love consuming her and the anger disappeared. She rushed to him and he caught her up in his arms.
“I love you too.” She said shakily, as Aaron held her and walked over to the sofa and laid her down before following.
“Thank fuck.” He claimed her mouth and refused to let her up for air in case she changed her mind. Soon her hands were pulling at his t-shirt and trying to get to his skin and feel him.
He broke the kiss to take his top off and get hers off before going back for more. Hands were everywhere as they pulled at their clothing and when flesh was touching flesh Imogen sighed with relief. She needed this man. She needed his touch. She needed his kisses. She just needed him to feel alive.
She soon felt alive as his hands roamed her body and caressed every inch of her bringing her to the brink before claiming her body fully by thrusting inside her. She gasped as he buried himself to the hilt. She loved this feeling of being completely filled and when he pulled the out, the friction of it sent her over. He waited while she rode out her orgasm before plunging back in and slowly thrust in and out, bringing her back to the edge. Aaron slowly brought them over the edge and wrapped Imogen up in his arms.
“I love you.” He kissed her hair as they settled on the sofa.
“I love you too.” Imogen replied sleepily.
Aaron pulled the blanket over them as Imogen fell asleep.
Chapter 10
Three Months Later
“Thank god that’s over.” Aaron said, as he danced with Imogen at Meg’s and Neil’s wedding.
“The speech was very funny and touching.” She relaxed into his hold. “The perfect best man’s speech.”
“Well the next one I will have to do I suppose is the grooms one.”
Imogen tensed and her heart jumped as she looked up to him.
“What did you say?” She sputtered out.
“I was talking about our wedding.” Aaron smiled as he watched Imogen trying to process what he was saying.
She managed to recover, “Well that would be interesting but don’t you think you need to ask me first.”
“I suppose, but I think I will keep you in suspense for a while.”
She smacked him on his arm, “Don’t you dare.”
He laughed, “Ok sweetheart.”
He bent his head, and whispered in her ear, “I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?”
Imogen smiled, but she waited for a few moments before answering just to keep him in suspense, like he wanted to do to her.
“Well you going to give me an answer?” Aaron requested.
“Still thinking about it, don’t want to rush into this.”
He growled in her ear. “Give me an answer.”
She liked this domineering and demanding side.
“Well,” she twirled her finger around his untied tie, “I believe my answer will be…” she paused.
He gripped her harder.
She leaned up and whispered in his ear, “Yes.”
She squealed when he picked her up and twirled her around and kissed her hard.
“Hey what’s going on?” Someone behind them shouted.
“Nothing to do with you.” Aaron shouted back.
Aaron grabbed her hand and started to walk out the room, so they could celebrate in private, but was stopped before they could walk out.
“What are you two up to?” Neil asked.
Aaron smiled, “Just going off to celebrate with my new fiancée.” He dragged Imogen behind him while Neil stood there with his mouth hanging open.
“Got a little surprise for you.” Aaron said as they walked up the stairs and down a familiar hallway and to an even more familiar door which was the same door that Aaron led Imogen to all those months before. He opened the door and Imogen gasped as she took in the rose petal covered bed and candles flickering around the room.
“Wow.�
�� Tears came to her eyes as she took in the bedroom and all the trouble he went to.
“I am hoping they are happy tears.” He walked towards her and dropped down on one knee, he held out his hand which cradled a small box. He looked up at her, “Will you marry me?”
This time where was no hesitation as Imogen jumped on him and shouted, “Yes!”
He laughed as grabbed her up and carried her to the bed and reached back for the ring and slipped the diamond engagement ring onto her finger.
“Now it’s official we need to celebrate. Want a glass of champagne?” He started to get up, but Imogen held onto him.
“Just you.”
Aaron kissed her and spent the night showing how much he appreciated her saying yes.
