Modern Arrangements: Complete Trilogy (Modern Arrangements #1-3)

by Sadie Grubor

  "Hey you," I answered with a smile.

  "Hey!" She almost shouted. "So, we need to do a shopping trip." Phoebe was stating this firmly.

  "Why do we need –?"

  "Dresses, Lilli. We need dresses, masks, shoes, etcetera." She said it like I was an idiot.

  "Ugh. Can’t you just pick out my dress for me? You know my size." I begged.

  "Oh…Lilli…if you are talking about gowns for the ball, I have it taken care of." Viola chimed in with a large smile.

  "Phoebe, Viola has my dress taken care of, sorry." I got smug a little too quickly.

  "No, no. I’m having dresses brought to my house, just as I did for the wedding. Tell her and Celia to come over on Saturday and we’ll all go through them. There will also be a seamstress there to make adjustments and changes."

  I groaned and repeated it all to Phoebe.

  "Oh. My. God. I love her!" Phoebe practically sang. "I’ll call Celia and we will meet you at your house Saturday morning!" She quickly hung up.

  "Thanks a lot, Viola," I playfully scowled at her as she laughed.

  "You are so welcome!" She giggled. "It’ll be fun, Lilli. We can make it a brunch."

  As I was about to say something, we came to a stop in front of the children’s home and were quickly out of the car, heading through the front door.

  It was after four o’clock when we said our goodbyes. "Lilli, call Rachel and tell her that you will be coming to my house for dinner."

  "Oh, Viola, you don’t have to –"

  "Nonsense, I know Aidan is working late again because Liam is. Plus, Maggie is sick of not seeing you." She wrapped her arm in mine and we climbed into the car. I called Rachel during the drive.

  We entered Viola’s immaculate home and were greeted by Maggie and a very large, dark skinned boy. If it wasn’t for the youngness on his face, I would have sworn he was a man. He was huge, at least six feet tall and muscular. He was beautiful.

  "Lilli!" Maggie jumped off the couch, tossing a text book into the boys lap as she hurried to me.

  She squeezed me tightly and I hugged her back.

  "It’s good to see you too, Maggie" I giggled.

  Pulling away with a large smile, her face seemed to brighten even more.

  "I want to introduce you to my boyfriend." Grabbing my hand, she pulled me toward the boy who was standing as we approached.

  Holy shit he had to be over six feet tall! "Lilli, this is Jason. Jason, this is Lilli," she motioned between us as she introduced.

  I put out my hand.

  "It’s nice to meet you," I smiled at him and he shook my hand. I swear I could’ve fit both of my hands in his one.

  "Thanks, I’ve heard a lot about you from Maggie." He smiled at her lovingly when he said her name. She was smiling up at him, barely coming to his shoulder.

  "So, what have you two been up to?" Viola breezed into the room and kissed Maggie on the forehead.

  "Just studying," Maggie picked up a text book from the couch and held it up with a cringe on her face.

  We stood talking to each other for a while. Maggie started talking about school, then the discussion turned to the dress fitting we would be doing on Saturday. She was beyond thrilled and turned to Jason, telling him that she would take him to get a tux for the event. He smiled at her, but Viola and I both noticed the nervousness on his face.

  After dinner, Viola and I sat discussing seating arrangements over a bottle of wine. When she pulled out the second bottle, I started to get a little weary about the results that could occur. Two glasses into the second bottle and naughty Viola emerged.

  "So, how do you set up the family tables?" I asked.

  "Well, we typically put the family at one large table together; however, we’re slowly increasing our numbers, so we may have to spread out over two tables." Then she eyed me curiously. "So, how’s the sex coming along?"

  I choked and spit half of my sip of wine into my glass.

  "W-what?"

  "Oh come on, you have to be fucking. Aidan is in way too good of a mood to not be getting any." She laughed and took another large drink.

  "Oh Jesus, Viola, I think it’s time to put away the wine and call it a night." I laughed and tried to grab the bottle out of her way, it didn’t work. She grabbed it first and smirked at me.

  "So, tell me about it? I bet he is like his uncle –"

  "Okay, do not start telling me about Liam, please! I will never be able to look at him again." I laughed harder than before.

  "Oh nonsense, Lilli, Liam is a master in the bedroom. Well, wait, he’s a master in the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining room –"

  "Stop," I laughed. "I just ate on this table. I don’t want to hear about what you two do on it." I put my face in my hands.

  Viola giggled loudly.

  "Hey, we have a healthy sex life. What about yours?" She wiggled her eyebrows at me.

  "It’s…it’s fine." I said quickly and, before I got in a chance to change the subject, she continued to pressure.

  "Oh, it’s just fine? Well, then maybe he doesn’t have his uncle in him…though, I do love it when his uncle is in me." She giggled wildly at her own joke. I couldn’t help but burst into more laughter.

  Tears were streaming down our cheeks and loud cackles were pouring from our mouths as Liam entered the room.

  "What’s so funny?" Both of our heads shot over to Liam, who was leaning against the doorframe with a raised eyebrow. I looked at Viola the same time she looked at me and we burst into more hysterics. "You know what, I don’t think I want to know." Liam chuckled and shook his head as he headed to the kitchen.

  Quickly after Liam arrived home I excused myself and said goodnight, though I was still randomly giggling on the drive home.

  I walked into the door and was greeted by Jay, who took my coat.

  "Good evening, Jay," a little intoxication laced my words.

  He grinned knowingly.

  "Good evening, Mrs. Iverson. I take it you had a pleasurable evening with Ms. Viola?" I could see him biting back his laughter.

  I slapped his shoulder roughly.

  "You could say that," I giggled and headed toward the stairs.

  "Mr. Iverson is in his study," Jay shouted after me.

  As I climbed the stairs, I shouted back over my shoulder, "Thanks Jay, but I think I need a shower and to go to bed." My unexpected hiccup seemed to accentuate my need to go to bed. I heard Jay chuckling lightly as I continued up the stairs.

  After my shower I felt cleaner, but dizzier. Damn Viola and that second bottle of wine!

  Stumbling, I exited the bathroom and completely missed seeing Aidan. Wrapped in only a towel, I headed toward my oversized closet.

  Bent over my built in dresser, I looked for a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, trying not to topple over. Two arms wrapped around my waist. I jumped, causing me to grab the dresser with both hands and my towel to loosen and slip from my body.

  "Hello," he sounded smug. I huffed and tried to wrap my towel around me tightly.

  "Will you stop scaring me, shit!" I yelled over my shoulder. He placed an open mouthed kiss on my shoulder.

  He shook his head.

  "It’s so much fun, though," he whined out.

  I nudged him with my elbow. "I need to get dressed and to bed."

  "Hmmm…I agree with getting you to bed." He lifted me quickly into bridal position and carried me toward the bed.

  "My clothes," I whined and reached to grab my shorts, but missed.

  "You won’t need them," he growled and laid me on the bed. His hands grasped my towel and pulled it away from my body, tossing it to the floor.

  "Mmm…you’re gorgeous," he growled and leaned over my body, looking me over until he could press his lips to mine. "I’ve missed you," he mumbled against lips.

  He claimed my mouth and my tongue so quickly, I couldn’t respond. His hands were sliding around my damp skin as he was pressing his body against mine. I could feel the buttons of his white dress shi
rt against my stomach. I could also feel the hardness between his legs against my thigh as he pressed against me.

  My hands slipped over his chest and I unbuttoned his shirt before sliding it off his shoulders. He pulled his white t-shirt over his head and tossed it while I worked on his belt and pants. Soon he was as naked as I was. He wasted no time claiming my nipple with his mouth as his fingers slid there way between my thighs.

  Slipping two fingers deep into me, he groaned against my nipple.

  "You’re so ready." He shifted his position, moved his body between my legs and slid into me with a grunt.

  "Oh…uh...shit," escaped my lips as he fully filled me. Aidan stayed still, his hands firmly grasping my shoulders. It was driving me to madness, so I pushed my hips forward.

  "Unghh…don’t move," he growled against my collarbone. I whined. "Give me a minute," he chuckled and the vibration of it only caused me to want him more. "You feel too damn good, I won’t last." I could feel him trying to regulate his breathing.

  I ran my fingers through his hair and then fisted it when he moaned.

  "Not helping." I pulled on his head until I could press my lips to his, slowly gliding my tongue across his lips. Our mouths began their seductive dance as his hips slowly started to move.

  Unable to take it any longer, I flipped him onto his back. Continuing my attack on his mouth, I began to raise and lower my hips onto him. He pressed his head back into the bed and when his chin lifted, I moved my mouth over his strong jaw until I could claim his earlobe in my mouth and suck on it.

  Aidan grabbed my hips, trying to still my movements, but I continued to slowly move up and down on him until I couldn’t take it any longer.

  Pressing my hands flat against his chest, I pushed to sit upright and began to move my hips quick enough that I was almost bouncing on top of him. His hands moved from my hips to my nipples, where he rolled the hardened tips through his fingers.

  Once he was close, his hands again came back to my hips and dug into my flesh.

  "Lilli…wait…I want you to…Oh fuck…"

  I slid my one hand down to where we were connected and rubbed my swollen and over excited bundle as I came down on top of him. My head tossed back as the sensation intensified.

  "Fuck," he exclaimed as I crashed into my orgasm and clenched against his release.

  Collapsing onto his chest, his heartbeat pounded rapidly and the rise and fall of his chest lulled me to sleep.

  Aidan

  The date went well and I could tell she had a good time. I was relieved and had to admit not having sex that night was a good idea. We simply fell asleep next to each other, with me curled up against her.

  Sunday morning came and I wanted to spend the day in bed together. Not having sex was nice, but waking up so close to her had me all geared up to get her naked and under me.

  She had left the room while I was in the bathroom. I decided to take a quick shower and get dressed. Afterwards, I planned on going to my study to check on some emails, but found myself standing in the library. The empty library. I sighed and then remembered that she had on workout clothes.

  Seeing her on the treadmill with sweat dripping down her neck and back brought me to full attention. Thinking about her on our date last night, the conversation, her smile, the dress, her laugh, the boots, and then the men who looked and tried to get her number, I was overwhelmed with the urge to claim her and make her mine.

  So, that’s what I did. I claimed her on the treadmill and it was fucking amazing. It was so intense I hadn’t even realized she was digging her nails into my shoulders. Though, later that day, I saw four perfect crescent marks on each shoulder, already starting to scab. I still didn’t care, it was phenomenal and worth it.

  During the work week I hardly got to see her. I was stuck working late and she was off with Viola. I loved that she was getting involved with the children’s foundation and began to wonder if I should tell her that technically the foundation was hers. As much as I loved her involvement, I hated that I couldn’t call her and tell her to meet me at work for lunch. I knew that my leather sofa could come in handy for desert.

  So, when I got home Thursday night and Lilli wasn’t home I retreated to my study to work. I knew that she had stayed with Viola for dinner, but I was hoping that she would have returned by now. When there was a knock at the door, I was hopeful that it was Lilli.

  "Come in," I knew I sounded way too eager.

  "Master Iverson," Jay entered and nodded to me.

  "Hey Jay, what can I do for you?" I sat back into my chair, a little disappointed.

  "Well, I am about to retire for the evening, sir, and wanted to make sure that you didn’t need anything before I do."

  "I would prefer if you would wait until my wife has gotten home."

  "Sir, Mrs. Iverson arrived home about twenty minutes ago." I saw the small smirk on his face. I raised my eyebrow at him. He cleared his throat. "Um…sir, your wife was with Ms. Viola this evening and returned very…happy."

  "I see," I smiled, knowing what Viola had gotten the two of them into. I silently wondered if it had been champagne or wine. "Okay, thank you, Jay. Have a good evening."

  "Thank you, sir," Jay left the study and I quickly made my exit to the bedroom.

  She walked…well, stumbled, through the bedroom without noticing me. When I followed her to the closet I saw that she was bent over her dresser fumbling for clothes. I couldn’t control myself. We ended up on the bed with her riding me to an excellent finish, which included her touching herself.

  Friday morning came faster than I wanted it to, but the alarm was buzzing and Lilli was groaning. I threw a pillow at the alarm, silencing it, and wrapped my arms back around Lilli.

  "We have to get up," she groaned into her pillow.

  "No we don’t," I held her tighter. "Let’s call in sick."

  Her body shook from laughter.

  "You’re the boss. You need to show a good example."

  "Yeah, yeah, yeah," I replied and started to kiss her neck.

  "Mm…don’t start that," she pulled away from me.

  I pulled her back to me.

  "But I want a replay of last night," I sucked on the back of her neck. "Will you touch yourself again?" I kissed her again. "That was so fantastic." I growled and felt myself harden at the memory.

  "Go take a shower before we’re both late for the day!" she rolled away from me and laughed.

  I growled, annoyed.

  "Fine!"

  The hot water wasn’t doing anything for my need to be inside her. I know she wanted things to slow down physically, but how could I when I was so insatiable for her? At first I’d thought it was because I hadn’t had sex in a while, but now I was realizing that it was just her that drove my sexual appetite.

  I was so lost in my thoughts of her, I didn’t hear her enter the shower. When her hands slid around my waist I shivered and felt a large smile spread over my face.

  "You don’t mind if I join you, do you?" Her right hand slid to my fully erect penis as she finished her question. I moaned. "Does that me you don’t mind?" I felt her silent giggle against my back.

  Turning quickly, I pressed her against the steamed up tile of the shower wall, my mouth crashing into hers, my soapy hands palming her breasts. She moaned into my mouth as I pressed up against her.

  She flipped me around so my back was pressed against the tiles. Her hot mouth moved over my collarbone, continuing to work her way down my body. Once she was on her knees, I looked down just as she took me into her mouth. My head snapped back against the tile and I moaned as her tongue slid against the bottom side of my shaft.

  Her movements were slow at first, as if she was getting accustomed to me, and then she began to bob her head quicker. When her tongue circled my tip and swirled before she swallowed me, I couldn’t help but thrust forward into her mouth.

  My left hand knotted into her hair as I guided her on my length. She moaned as she took
me in, causing sensational vibrations against my hardness that sent shivers through my body. I looked down, her lips were wrapped tightly around me. I felt her suck me in with more force and I began thrusting into her mouth harder. She moaned again and I felt my release on that fine edge.

  "Lilli…I’m going…to…" she hummed against me and I lost it. She didn’t move as I released into her mouth. My head was leaned back against the tile as I panted. Her tongue and mouth moving gently over my shaft before she released me.

  After a few moments of not feeling her against my skin, I lifted my head and opened my eyes to see her under the spray of hot water washing her hair. I moved behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist.

  "Thank you," I whispered into her neck, "That was amazing."

  Her hand came back around my neck and she leaned into me.

  "I owed you," she whispered back and then returned to showering.

  Once we were both dressed, we went our separate ways. I headed to my office in town and she was off to meet Viola. Before she left, I reminded her that we were going out tomorrow.

  Saturday arrived and when I woke up the bed felt cold and empty. I scanned the bed, it was empty. I looked around the room. The only noise was from the bathroom. I looked at the clock it was eight in the morning.

  I climbed out of bed and headed toward the bathroom. As I was about to knock, the door opened. Lilli gasped and grabbed her chest.

  "Sorry, I was about to knock." I said with a small laugh.

  "You scared me," she laughed. "You do that so much, I should be used to it."

  I noticed that she was almost fully dressed.

  "Where are you going?"

  "I have brunch with Viola and the girls today." She sighed, "Ball gown selection time." She waved her finger in the air with a false ‘woohoo’. I chuckled.

  "I guess Viola is having the dresses brought to her, as usual?" I smirked, knowing my aunt so well.

  Lilli nodded.

  "Yeah, I think it’s an all girl brunch." Then she looked at me seriously. "I think your aunt Anne is going to be there as well," her face cringed up.

  I laughed.

  "Don’t worry, Viola will surely keep her on her best behavior."

  "That’s what I’m afraid of. You know that brunch for Viola equals mimosa’s right?" She raised her full brow when she asked.
