“Like a chick that needs to get laid.”
“Fuck you, Nikki, you know that won’t be happening.” I grabbed my credit card and ID, and followed her out the door. Maybe I did need a night out. It had been two weeks.
Fuck. It had been two weeks since I`d seen Ally. We`d arrived back in Boston, and I`d kept off the radar, completely. Kieran and I were working from my apartment. It did surprise me that Ally hadn’t come by. I`d received her text earlier in the afternoon, but didn’t respond. I needed her to think I was still away. I should have let her know that I was safe, but I really didn’t want to risk any contact until I was certain the plan I had set in motion was going to succeed.
I had settled Aiden into the guest room, and the tension between us was becoming unbearable. Two weeks confined in the condo was starting to aggravate me. The desires that I had hidden, subdued, were coming back again, this time more intense than before. Only Marcus and Lucas knew that I was bi-sexual, or had been at one point. When I`d left London, I wasn’t in a good place mentally, physically, or emotionally. Getting myself back on track and sober, I`d focused on work, on building the security business, and just trying to live again.
I was sitting in my office, trying to go through some of the work that had begun to back up. Kieran had set up a mock desk on the side wall; sidewall-he was going through footage of the clubs we managed, while I continued to work on the plan to bring Ashworth down. It was multi-faceted. I needed to make sure the girl was safe, make sure Aiden was safe, and also needed to help bring down that disgusting asshole. Thornton’s men and some of my old contacts, ones I actually trusted - ones that had been in special op’s with me - were currently in the middle of surveillance, and working on getting someone into the auction the week after. Thornton had one of his guys extract the girl’s family and relocate them to a different area in England, allowing us to bring word to them that their daughter was safe for the moment.
Constant surveillance was required on Ashworth’s main employees, those he kept close - those that were the muscle, so to say. I knew, after this was all over, that I would owe a huge thank you to Thornton, but we were all of the same mindset - that Ashworth needed to go down. Part of the problem was the people that he had paid off - the police, the businessmen. He had people in his pockets throughout the entire city.
I was going over an email that Ty had sent me. It outlined the plan for the auction. I was to come forward as a wealthy businessman, but would be sending an associate to the auction. Fuck. The plan sounded better when someone else talked about it. A guy that I knew from grade school had volunteered to go undercover in the organization as a runner for the auctions. A simple position, but one that put him in contact with information that we might need. It would make it easier to understand Ashworth’s process.
“I’m fucking going crazy,” Aiden declared as he walked into my office and sat in one of the chairs in front of my desk.
“I’m sure you could find something to do.” I briefly looked up from my laptop screen, but the second we made eye contact, a shiver ran down my spine. I knew Aiden was still attracted to me, if the little scene in London was any indication. I hadn’t mentioned anything about the kiss, or the fact that once he had dropped into position, I wanted nothing more than to shove my dick into his mouth and feel his hot wetness on my cock. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. The control I was used to was slipping around him.
“You’ve kept me locked up for two fucking weeks in a new city. What the fuck do you want me to do? Masturbate every hour?”
I heard a laugh slip from Kieran, and I turned toward him, watching him laugh.
“He has a point, boss.”
“Yeah, and what the fuck you expect me to do with him? Having him work at the club?” I wish I could have retracted the words as soon as they came out of my mouth.
Kieran eyed me, and then Aiden. “Yeah, actually not a bad idea. He can bartend while we are there, help Marcus out during the day if need be.”
“It’s a horrible idea.” I countered immediately.
“And why is that?” Aiden asked, turning in his seat. “I know how to bartend. I need some excitement.”
“Excitement is what got you in this mess. No. You are not leaving the condo until we can find a way to make sure Ashworth isn’t going to come after you.” I sat back in my office chair and stared at him.
“I’m three thousand miles away. I don’t think working at the club that you own and are head of security at is really going to put me in harm’s way.”
Valid point, but I just didn’t want to explain him to anyone. Not yet. Preferably never. I wanted to get his situation handled, and him back to London as soon as possible. Fuck. I didn’t even know when we were going to be able to get Aiden back. While we weren’t completely working on bringing down the auction and drug trafficking, I was still trying to find a way to blackmail Ashworth into leaving Aiden alone.
“No. That is my final decision. Not another word.” Aiden was defeated and walked out of the office.
Kieran turned to me. “Boss, I don’t know what your history is with him, and it’s none of my business, but how long are we going to pretend we are not in the States. Seriously? I need to go home, shower, eat, see Nikki.”
I banged my head on my desk. “I know. I know. Fine. We will make an appearance tonight. You are right. We can have Thornton’s men find us the bargaining chip we need. As long as Aiden isn’t seen outside of Devoured or here, he should be safe.
“There you go boss. Alright, I’m heading out. Maybe I’ll get lucky tonight.” He smiled as he left.
I heard the front door close, and turned my attention back to the video monitors from the clubs. I scrolled through the feed from Desire. In the VIP section, I noticed someone familiar. Ally. She was sitting with Nikki. But there was a look in her eyes, one of loneliness, sadness. I watched as she drank her drink, talked with Nikki, but she never laughed. Not once. I felt like a complete dick. I was asking for her complete trust, her honesty, her submission, yet I couldn’t be true to myself, and tell her about my past, about Aiden and Caroline. I had to now. He was here.
I picked up my phone and sent her a text.
ME: Pumpkin, you look sad.
Ally looked in the crowd, looking side to side.
ME: I’m not there. Her eyes went up to the camera.
ME: Bingo. You look gorgeous.
Ally: Sir…
Me: Yes, pumpkin. God, how I’ve missed you.
Ally: I can’t do this, Devlin. Not until you can share the secrets with me.
Me: You look miserable. Did you forget what you said to me at the diner?
Ally: No.
Me: Alexia…
Ally: Devlin…
The sadness in her eyes, the stubbornness she took on the subject, amazed me. I wanted to wrap her up in my arms and never let go. The way I felt about her hadn’t changed in two weeks. She was the one that wanted out, but I wasn’t going to let that happen.
Me: In time. Good night.
There was no response. I watched her place her phone in her purse and look at the camera again, before hanging her head. It was only time before Ally knew I was back in the states, if she hadn’t put two and two together yet. The way she had looked around for me proved she was still there with me. How the hell was I going to tell her about my past?
“Why do you look so fucking sad?” Aiden asked, walking back into the office and sitting in the same chair he had vacated a little while ago.
“It’s none of your business.” I tried to hold off on looking in his direction. I was still battling the feelings that were surfacing again. I kept trying to push them back down, denying what had always been a part of me.
“What’s the plan?” Aiden asked, looking at me. He was wearing low cut jeans and a fitted tee shirt. The tattoos that lined his arms and hands were a stark contrast from the black of the shirt. His hair was a little longer on top, although cut tight to his head in the back.
�
�You know what the plan is. You’ll stay here until we know there is no threat against you. You can work at Devoured, and once Ashworth is no longer a threat, you can do whatever you want.”
I watched him stare at me, our eyes locking. We didn’t move, didn’t look away for what felt like minutes, until a motion on the computer screen broke my concentration. Ally was leaving. I stood up and walked to the window. I looked out into the city, wondering what she was doing next.
I heard Aiden stand. The carpet absorbed the sounds of his footsteps as he came closer, but I could feel the pull, feel the electricity that was still between us. It was like five years had never gone by. Aiden stopped behind me, placing his muscular chest against my back. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath in, attempting to calm the desire that was building.
“I never stopped hoping you’d come back. I couldn’t understand why you would leave us. No goodbye, no after thought.” His hand moved to my arm that was hanging at my side, my hand balled into a fist. The initial touch burned my skin, causing my breath to skip, my heart to beat faster.
“I can tell you are still affected, Devlin. I can tell how hard you are fighting this between us.” Aiden trailed his fingers up the length of my arm. I took another deep breath, trying to calm the build up inside me.
“There is nothing more between us, Aiden. That part of my life is over. I have my future here.” My body tensed as Aiden placed his hand over my erection.
“This tells me otherwise. Just give in, Dev. We both know what we had, what we can have.”
I removed his hand from my cock; as good as it felt, I couldn’t give in. Ally wouldn’t understand. Ally was my future now. Ally was what I wanted. “Exactly, Aiden, what we had.”
Aiden pushed his body closer to mine. “What we still have. Don’t deny the attraction. You can feel my cock up against you. You can see how much I need you. God, Devlin, it’s like we never were apart.”
I turned around now, face-to-face with him, wondering when he’d become so dominant. Aiden had a little dominant side in him, but in the relationship we’d had, I was the dominant. I was the alpha. The threesome aspect of our previous lives included a woman that was phenomenal; a woman that understood how much we loved her, and how much we loved each other. I needed Caroline as much as I needed Aiden - both parts of me empty without the other. What the fuck?
“Things change, Aiden.” I stepped around him and walked out of the office towards my bedroom. Aiden followed.
“We have another chance.” He pinned my against the wall, not an easy task, being I was about three inches taller than him. The feeling of his body against mine eased the ache that was there. As much as I fought with myself about him, about my feelings, the truth was he was right - there. There was still the want for him. I had spent four years turning off every part of my dominant side, never taking a sub until Ally. I’d forced myself into my work, into making a different life for myself.
Aiden’s mouth placed a kiss at the base of my neck, my hands balled into fists. I couldn’t do this. Pulling my head back, Aiden trailed his lips up the length of my neck. I turned around, and our lips crashed together. My hands grasped his head, pulling him closer to me. Opening his lips, I let my tongue explore his mouth, deepening the kiss as the heat between us rose. Aiden’s hands had come up to my head as well. We locked into the moment, the kiss taking over all of my senses. I pulled back to catch my breath. “Is this what you wanted? Me to lose my control, my mind?”
“No, I wanted you to admit what was still there.” Aiden moved himself to unbutton my jeans, sliding the zipper lower. I pulled his shirt off over his head, and quickly undressed myself of my own. I pulled him into another kiss, deep, needy.
Aiden dropped to his knees, pushing my jeans down as he went. My cock sprung loose and bounced in front of him. I looked down at him as he wrapped his hand around the base of my shaft. My breath caught in my throat as Aiden’s tongue ran up the length of my dick, circling around the head. I arched my back against the wall. “Oh fuck…”
Aiden wrapped his warm mouth around me, sucking as he moved up and down my hardness. Varying the speed and intensity, Aiden maneuvered his tongue to hit that sensitive spot on the underside of my head. The sensations felt so good. I opened my eyes that I hadn’t realized I closed, and watched him work. The suction of his mouth, the massaging of his fingers on my balls.
“If you don’t stop that, I’m going to come in your mouth.” I pulled myself out of his mouth and nodded toward the bed. “Naked. Now.”
Aiden removed his jeans and moved to the bed. I stepped out of mine and pushed him onto his back, spreading his thighs with my own, hovering over him. “Is this what you want? Things won’t be the same after.”
Aiden nodded. “Things haven’t been the same since you walked out.” The comment sliced through me worse than a knife. The pain still harbored in his eyes. I nodded and lowered myself down to meet his mouth again, kissing him as his hands ran over the length of my back. I reached down and stroked his cock. His body arched off the bed as I continued to move my hand up and down his length. I watched as Aiden’s breath quickened to short breathes, his eyes dark with desire. I sat up and reached for the nightstand. Opening the drawer I pulled out a condom and a bottle of lube.
I placed the lube next to me as I opened the condom wrapper and rolled the latex on my dick. I looked down at Aiden, and squeezed a generous amount of lube on my fingers and on Aiden’s puckered hole. I spread his cheeks open and massaged his anus, circling my fingers around the opening, spreading the lube. I slowly inserted a finger, watching as his ass clenched against the intrusion. “Relax for me, Aiden.”
I ran my free hand up the side of his thighs, as I thrust my finger in and out of him slowly. On the third or fourth pass, I added a second one. “God, you’re tight. Can’t wait to feel you wrapped around my cock.”
I thrust my fingers into him over and over, making sure to pay attention to the special region. Aiden’s eyes rolled back, and his breathing increased even more. “Oh my God… Oh my God…” The moans escaping from his mouth turned me on even more. I pulled my fingers out and pushed his legs further apart, lining the head of my dick up to the puckered ring of muscles. I pushed in slowly, the tightness wrapping around me, allowing Aiden to adjust to my width, and me to control myself. Once I was completely sheathed in his ass, I looked down. Aiden’s eyes told me everything I needed to know, what we both needed to know. There was no going back.
“Will you please fuck me now?” Aiden asked as I began to move.
“As you wish.” I moved my hips at a slow pace initially, speeding up in time. The tightness of his ass gripped my cock, and I paused, not wanting to let myself get too excited too quickly. I reached down, and ran my hand over the length of Aiden’s dick, stroking him in the same rhythm that I was fucking him at.
“Dev, I’m going to come.” Aiden rang out as I picked up my speed. I was close as well.
“Come with me, Aiden. Come now.” Aiden released himself into my hand as I thrust a few more times, spurting my own release into him.
I pulled out and walked to the bathroom, discarding the condom and cleaning up my hands. I turned on the shower, and walked back to the bedroom. “Come on, let’s shower.”
I lay on the bed, completely spent from what had just happened. Devlin walked back into the bedroom. “Come on, let’s shower.”
I sat up and moved to the edge of the bed. I watched as he walked towards me. “What didn’t you understand? Shower, now.”
I nodded and stood up. Devlin laced his fingers within mine and guided me into the shower. The shower itself could hold a small orgy. The half tiled walls were lined with glass on the top. There was a small, built-in bench on the back wall, and three different showerheads were placed sporadically on the walls. I stepped in and felt the warmth of Devlin’s body against mine. His mouth was nipping at my shoulder, and I reached my hands around his hips to anchor myself. “I’ve missed this,” I said as he turned
me around, rubbing his hard on against mine. Fuck, I had just come, and was ready for a repeat. He tilted my chin up and looked at me.
“I’m not promising anything at the moment. There is stuff you don’t know. More people involved than just us. Just take this for now.”
“Why all of a sudden?” I asked as he ran the bar of soap over my chest.
“Because it was foolish of me to think I could keep denying this. As much as I don’t want to admit this - there have been plenty of times over the last two weeks I’ve wanted to tie you up and sink my cock into you.”
The statement made me shiver. The tough and rough exterior was cracking. I’d always known Devlin to be a man of few words. Always in control, no matter what. “Hmm. Sounds good.” I took what he gave me. I took the caresses; I took the bites, the kisses, and the touches. I took what he gave at that minute, because I wasn’t sure if he would change his mind or not.
Devlin finished washing me, and I sank to my knees, taking him back into my mouth. The grunt that escaped his mouth signaled me to the fact that he was enjoying it. I sucked him deep, hard and forceful. I kept up the speed as his hand latched to my head, gripping me so he could thrust deeper. I could feel his legs tense, and felt his balls pull up.
“I’m going to come if you keep that up.”
I did just that. Taking him as deep as I could, swallowing everything he released into my throat. I stood up and was quickly turned around. Devlin’s hands found my rock hard erection and began to stroke their own speed. I never knew Devlin to blow a man - never. He was in control, and he would determine how you came. At this moment, it was him stroking me off in the shower. The water had cooled, but I couldn’t feel it. My body was on fire. I felt the familiar pull of my balls, the pulse that came right before I exploded, my body jerking as Devlin milked every part of my orgasm out of me. Sated and exhausted, I rested against the shower wall. Devlin turned off the water and grabbed two towels from the bench outside the door. Handing me one, he wrapped the other around his waist and stepped out of the stall. I quickly dried off and joined him in the bedroom, where he was dressing. I looked at the clock - it was only ten.
