Aria finally opened her eyes and her grip on my neck tightened as she started to move slowly and almost clumsily on my cock. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought that she was already on the brink of an orgasm. It didn’t take but a moment or two for me to realize that she actually was.
The clumsiness and the bracing of her hand on my chest was to stop the wave of need that swept over her. She grabbed my chest hairs and closed her fingers in around them and pulled. It hurt like hell, but it was only a distraction from the choking of my cock inside of her. I was thankful for it, so I didn’t lose my load too soon. After coming over here the way that I did, I was going to have to really lay her out to make it worth her while. She went out of her way for me, and I wanted to go out of my way now to make her feel things that she never had before. It was all I could think about.
I watched another wave of need fall over Aria and it was the sweetest thing that I had seen in a long time. Her face was flushed, and her hair was wild down her back and shoulders. She was concentrating so hard and then the relief set in and she didn’t care about anything. Aria played everything over her face, something I liked about her. It wasn’t that I think she wouldn’t lie, she would, but I wasn’t sure if her face would agree. Aria wore her emotions in her expression and I wanted her to always look at me like she was now. It was hard to ignore it and I didn’t want to.
After I stopped moving and she was still trying to steady herself, I let the bliss slow down before I had her look at me. “Do you want more?”
Aria wasn’t sure, and I surged upwards deeply to stop her from saying no. I’d forgotten that Aria only let it go on for so long. She would have too many orgasms and then she wasn’t able to keep going. She may or may not have passed out on me in the tent when she was riding me before. I can’t even explain what that does to my ego. The woman made me feel like no other woman had felt before. That’s how I knew that it was meant to be. I wouldn’t feel this way if not.
I took her hips into my hands and started to move her on top of me. The whimpering was back, and it was something that I couldn’t get out of my head. It took over and made me fuck her faster and faster. Soon, she was getting rigid on top of me and I knew she was coming again, without the rush of fluid that pushed out of her at record speed, trying to kick me out of her womanly cavern as well.
“David…”
She couldn’t say anything more before I slammed upwards and took her breath away. When she talked, she could tell me to stop and I didn’t want that. The way that she was crying out with abandon, I didn’t want that to ever end. I wanted her to always be as free and open to tell me how it all felt. I couldn’t wait to get her back to my house so that I could have my way with her. Then I wouldn’t have to worry about anything and the bed had far more bounce in it.
I toyed with the woman on top of me for quite some time. She was making desperate sounds and faces, but I just let her come again and again, holding her down as the need washed over her and she clung to her own sanity. Aria was never going to refuse me again. I had to make sure that she knew what all I could do to her and how good I could make her feel. I’d already confessed with words, but I still thought it was necessary to confess with my body as well.
After a while I was the one that was being toyed with. Granted, Aria was the one that was on verge of insanity, but in driving her that way, I’d driven myself to the same location. The starting and stopping was making my balls hurt and when she came for the last time, I was unable to make myself stop. I held her down on me hard and smiled at her when she tried to get up. I was never going to let her go and I told her so.
“Please, you have to David. I’m so sore and my legs are asleep.”
I chuckled at her answer and we both made a pained sound when I lifted her off of me and set her back down onto the couch beside me. This woman was amazing. That was all there was to it and she was all mine.
Chapter 24
Aria
“I’m not telling them.”
“You’re going to have to at some time. I think they are going to recognize you when Marshall comes over and you’re living with me. I mean, this isn’t something that we can keep on the down low anymore.”
“I don’t even know what this is. And your house is big enough that he doesn’t have to know I live there. I can put my car in the garage.”
“Why are you so insistent that we keep us hidden? You’ve been back home almost a month and I’ve waited all this time for you. I think it’s time that the world knows that we’re together.”
I scrunched my nose up and shook my head. Callie knew about us. His sister was awesome, but my family, wasn’t so sure. Dad was still recuperating from his fall and Marshall was home helping out with him. Mom asked the most questions and she knew something was up. I just didn’t know if I was ready to tell the family about us.
“I just don’t see why the world has to know in the first place. It’s just between us. No one else.”
Something had been going on with David lately and he was really pushing this a lot. I don’t know what his reasoning was, but I knew there was something more to it then he was admitting to. I just didn’t know what that something was. I wish I did. It would have made my life a lot easier if I would have known what was going on and why he was acting so weird, wanting to claim me.
“I just don’t get it Aria. I finally find a woman that I want to share my life with and she wants to keep it in the closet. Are you ashamed of me or something?”
“Where is that coming from?”
There was no way that I felt that way, but it was clear that he had some say in that thought. He was acting strange.
“I just want it official, okay? I think it’s time that we tell your parents about us. It’s time for everyone to know that we’re together.”
I wasn’t of the same thinking, but I agreed to finally tell them when we were over there for dinner. David would be invited from Marshall, via my mom and I had a standing invitation for Sunday dinner. We always arrived separately and this time we would go together. Hopefully I didn’t have to explain too much, and they would just get the picture. I still wish that David would just let it go. It would make everything so much easier.
He agreed that our debut would make him happy. I just wanted him to stop harping on it. I never knew what was going on in his mind, but if it was important to David, then it was important to me as well. I wanted to believe that it would just flow over and nothing big would happen out of it, but I should have known better. I should have known David better than that. The man did nothing without a reason and ulterior motives. I should have known that this time was no different and he hadn’t changed.

“You look beautiful by the way.”
“Yeah?”
He shook his head and got that horny look in his eyes. I had to tell him to give it a rest though. This wasn’t the time or place for it. We were on the way to my parent’s house and his driver was only a few feet ahead of us.
“Maybe we should have taken separate vehicles. This is going to be a shock to them. I don’t know if dad is well enough to take it.”
He waved me off like I was being silly and maybe I was. I wanted to believe that everything was going to work out, but my gut said that there was more to this evening then I knew about. I didn’t know what I was missing, but I knew that I was missing something. It was hard for me to imagine how this was all going to play out.
“It’s going to be fine Aria. You really need to calm down. Your making it worse than it’s going to be. It’s going to work out, trust me.”
I wanted to trust him and how he saw it happening, but I knew my family better than he did and some things just weren’t meant to happen. I wanted to think about everything that may be a possibility, but David didn’t run that way. He was more of the type that ran headlong into a situation and winged it.
There was no more time to worry about it though. We were in front of my parent’s house and my brother was on the porch
talking to the guy doing dad’s physical therapy. I liked to think that this would happen another way, but I was going to have to get out now and then the questions would start. I wasn’t looking forward to that part of it at all.
I looked over at David and he wasn’t bothered. His calmness drove me crazy. Why couldn’t he be worried about it like I was? It would make me feel better if I wasn’t the only one silently freaking out at the moment.
He put his hand over mine and told me that it was going to be okay. I don’t know if I really believed him or not, but I really wanted to.
“I know David.”
I didn’t, but I was going to have to just see what happened. I got out of the car and I watched my brother’s gaze as David came out behind me. He put his hand on my shoulder and it was then that Marshall saw what was going on. I could see the expression change and he ended the conversation with the therapist quickly and met us at the stairs going onto the porch.
“Hey, what’s going on?”
Marshall looked unsure as his gaze went from me to his friend.
“Nothing we’re just here for dinner.”
“We?”
I nodded, and I could see the heat coming from my brother to David.
“We?”
He said it again and David agreed as well. “Yeah, it smells good. Are you ready to eat?”
Marshall didn’t know what to say and that was about how I thought it was going to go. There had to have been a better way to do this, I was sure of it, but David had insisted for some reason. I don’t know what was going through his mind, but I knew that he had a reason. I was just going to have to wait for it.
Marshall didn’t say anything to mom and dad about us riding into together, but if I didn’t know any better, I would have thought that he wasn’t going to. Dad was looking at me and David weird, but I wasn’t sure if there was a reason for it or just my own paranoia coming out.
Mom talked about how dad was doing, and she was gushing about how happy she was that everyone was home for once.
“You too David. You’ve always felt like part of the family. I’m so glad that you come see us and that you’re doing so well.”
He thanked her for the invitation.
“I was going to wait until after dinner to do this, but I feel like now is the best time.”
Everyone’s eyes were on David and I suddenly knew what he was about to do. I wanted to stop him, but in a way, I didn’t want to stop him. I wanted him to keep going, no matter how everyone else in the room was going to feel about it. David was going to introduce the idea in one hell of a fashion it looked like.
He moved in front of me and got down on his knees. Everyone was looking at him with a question on their faces. Marshall was the only one that said it out loud.
“You’re going to ask my sister to marry you?!” He was incredulous, and I sent him a withering look. Why was he trying to ruin this for me?
“Yes, I am. We’ve been together since before the camping trip. We live together now, and I love your sister and your daughter.” He looked to my dad when he said it, but unlike Marshall, dad seemed to already know what was going on. He just smiled and nodded him on to keep going. Marshall still looked horrified, but his wife grabbed his hand and squeezed it. It was her way of shutting him up and I liked her even more than before now. She really was good for him.
Everyone was looking at me again and I didn’t know what to say. David had this look of need in his eyes and it was more than sexual. I loved him. there was no getting around it and the more I thought about it, the more I knew there was no other choice. I loved David and I wanted us to be together till the end.
“Yes David. Of course, I’ll marry you.”
My eyes were blurring from the tears and I had blanked out everyone else in the room. I didn’t see the shocked expressions that I knew were there. I can’t believe he had done it like this, but of course he would want to do it with the whole family. David had always been close and now he was really going to be family.
“You did the right thing son. I knew you would.”
I turned to dad and I was the one that was shocked. He seemed to have known about it all this time and I didn’t know how. How did he know that David and I were together?
“Dad, you knew?”
“Of course. I’ve known for a while. You two weren’t that good at hiding it.”
I couldn’t believe it and I just smiled back at David. Marshall was going to take longer, but I figured that he would figure it out soon. He could handle that with David. They were friends, but it wasn’t going to change anything. I think we’d both tried not to feel what we felt, but we did and that wasn’t going to change. Sometimes it just had to be worked out that way.
We kissed and had dinner. It was later that night when I was able to really properly have my reaction. It was better when we were alone and naked. The celebration was always better this way.
A couple of months ago, I had no idea what I was going to do with my life. I was being pushed into a family and marriage that I didn’t want, but everything changed when the right man came around. I knew now that it wasn’t that I didn’t want to have all of those things, I just wanted it to be with the right person. David was the right person. I knew that now. He was the one I’d waited for all of this time and now I was going to be his wife.
Chapter 25
David
“What is all of this Callie?”
“Well you know that I just heard about the engagement. I talked to Aria about it. You are so sweet. I was worried about you for a while there. You were going through women like socks.”
I smiled and looked down. A lot had changed since that time, but I knew that Callie had seen it in all its glory. Now things were changed, and I knew that it was a relief to the people that cared about me.
“Everyone is here. Eve flew in and she brought Stan and the babies. I know that you’ve heard a lot about them. I hope you can visit with them.”
The place was packed, and I wasn’t even in the door yet. That was one thing that I could say about my sister. She was always one to throw a really good party. She was the type of person that I’d always wanted to be. Callie was outgoing, and this was just like her. It was over the top, but somehow exactly what I needed. I wanted Aria to feel as welcome by my small bit of family as I had been by hers. Callie had made it happened and I hugged her.
“Thank you, Callie. You don’t know what that means to me and Aria.”
Aria was quiet beside me and I knew that she was just as touched. Aria didn’t say much, but the two women talked while I moved through the door. The music wasn’t too loud, but with all of the people there, for us, it was still an overwhelming scene.
I got several slaps on the back in congratulations and I stopped and talked to several people before Aria caught back up with me. This was a moment that I never thought would happen.
It was strange that I knew so many of the women in attendance, too many if I was truthful, but none of them held a candle to Aria. She’d been the one that had found a way into my heart and I knew that she was never going to leave it. Aria was the woman for me, no matter how many others I’d tried. The realization of the changes in me were hard to think about. Aria had changed my whole life, just as Callie had done once before. I was part of something now, something more and I was surrounded by family. It was a damn good feeling. One that I could certainly get used to.
“Are you going to dance with me David, or am I going to have to go find another partner?”
Her question was asked with a grin on her face and the jealousy bottled up almost immediately. Just the idea of it, joke or not.
“No, I’ll dance with you Aria. I’m your dance partner for life.”
“I know David. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
THE END
ONE LAST TOUCH (SAMPLE)
Description
One wild night in college, was the best lover I’d ever had.
Cal made me scream till
I was hoarse and begging for more at the same time.
Then it was over, and I never saw him again.
He was always the man in the back of my mind.
Cal was the measuring stick to the next one.
He’s standing in front of me now, as sexy and devilish as ever.
It took me a minute to place him.
It’s been so long, and he wasn’t supposed to be here.
I was here for a wedding, not Cal.
I try to deny the attraction.
I try to refuse the draw.
But it’s impossible to say no to Cal.
I just don’t want to.
There is no stopping the change my body made when I see him.
It had always been this way.
This is the control he has over me.
And he doesn’t even have to do a thing.
I naturally want back in his arms.
And back in his bed, where anything was possible.

Prologue
Cal
“So, who is Jessica’s friend over there?”
Dennis looked to where I was pointing and smiled.
“That’s Mariss. She just moved here a couple of weeks ago and starts classes soon. She is hot as fuck, isn’t she?”
It was an understatement and I took in the short, raven-haired beauty in front of me. She was the type of girl that every woman wanted to be, and every man wanted to be with. Mariss was sexy as hell and I had to go talk to her. This wasn’t the thing that I usually did at a party. It had just started, I was still sober, and I didn’t like to tie myself down for the night. But a woman like Mariss was enough to make me have a good night. I wasn’t going to find better, no matter how many girls I saw or how drunk I got.
“Is she single?”
I was asking the question as I started walking towards her. It didn’t matter the answer to that question. Not really. I was still going to pursue her, but I just wanted to know what angle to go with.
