False allies

Chapter 21

Aaron was startled awake by the noise made by a clattering pan. The sound had not been very loud, but it was unlike anything else he had ever encountered while nodding off in the past. His nostrils were assaulted by the perfume of whatever was being cooked, and as soon as it did, his mouth started to feel dry.

After pulling himself to his feet, he grabbed his pants and zipped them up to his calf using the zipper. After giving his back a good crack with his broad arms, he made his way over to the kitchen.

Lily was hunched over a hot stove, toiling away with the cutting board and dish that were sitting next to her on the counter. Because she was dressed once again, he was able to get a good look at her posterior region. He moaned to let her know he was there and to let her know that his mind was filled with images of her from the previous night. He also wanted to let her know that he was thinking about her.

"Isn't there a sweet scent coming off of it?" I'm sorry if I startled you while you were sleeping. She looked back at him over her shoulder for a moment.

He became aware of her eyes rapidly moving up and down his chest as she looked at him. The need to sneer at her and, well, grab her and continue the passionate climax that occurred last night was powerful. However, he didn't.

Why don't you just tell me what you're cooking in the kitchen? He sat back on the small island in the middle of the counter and examined her.

I'm making some onions and peppers for your omelette by cooking them in some butter. Your refrigerator houses an impressively wide selection of foods.

It sounds wonderful. The morning meal is not one that I am particularly great at putting together.

"So, you're quite the chef, huh?"

Personal preparation is superior to the convenience offered by either microwaving or freezing food.

"Tell it to Cameron," was Cameron's reaction when asked what happened next. She twisted her face into a frown, and a wrinkle appeared on the bridge of her nose. "He would much rather have me prepare meals for him as opposed to attempting to do so on his own." She let out a loud chuckle before reversing the positions of the eggs. "I hope the meal I cook for you will be to your satisfaction."

He observed as she moved a platter containing an omelette stuffed with vegetables towards him from the opposite side of the island.

At some point in the future, I'm going to require your assistance in preparing a meal for me. "If you are serious about doing so."

For example, "What do you say we have for dinner?"

"Okay."

She gave him another one of her adorable grins before beginning to circulate around the room to clean up. He started eating by grabbing a fork from the edge of the table and putting it in his mouth. She oversaw the cooking process to ensure that everything was done to perfection and then added cheese to make the dish even creamier.

the act of going back to her own home; "I really ought to do it." After she had finished washing her face, she smiled and opened her mouth. It's imperative that Cameron and I have a conversation right away.

The things that she said gave him an odd feeling of envy. He was upset that she was leaving and couldn't understand how Cameron had been so fortunate as to make a friend out of Lily. He couldn't fathom how Cameron had met Lily. He reflected on the question for a brief period of time before moving on. He was fully conscious of the fact that he would be unable to control the need to touch her even if he tried.

She announced, "I'll be there soon," and meant it. After giving a nonchalant response, he went on to start eating.

I'll see you then, Aaron.

Lily opened the door to Cameron's apartment as carefully as she was able to manage. Cameron was an extremely sleepy person, and she had no intention of rousing two people at the same time.

She sneaked into her bedroom and quickly changed into clean clothing before rushing into the bathroom to take a shower. After she had finished and was all dried off, she went to her room and changed into jean shorts and a white tee. She went into the living room with the intention of reading, but she ended up falling asleep on the couch instead. Her eyelids were thick and cumbersome, making it difficult to raise them.

Cameron was the one who woke her up, even though she had no idea when or why she had fallen asleep in the first place. When he eventually sat down on the couch, he placed his arms around her while pressing his body against the back of the chair to make her feel more secure.

"Cameron!" Her groan was supposed to be taken in a comedic manner. "Get off of me immediately."

Someone inquired as to why you did not return home the previous evening. His face betrayed his dissatisfaction with the situation.

However, Lily did not reply right away. All of her negative and conflicting emotions served as a reminder to her that she needed to end their s****l relationship with each other. They rapidly went back to the behaviours they were accustomed to, which is really disappointing. She had become very accustomed to his companionship, and it was possible that this would continue for the rest of her life.

We require privacy.

"What? Why?" He moved his head to look at her after nuzzling her neck with his face for a moment.

"It doesn't matter what it is that we've been doing; we have to stop doing it right now."

"No." He made a fist out of his hands, as if he were a young child who did not want to share his toy.

"Cam-ron!" She resisted his hold with every ounce of strength she possessed.

In the sense of "I don't want to," he froze her by resting his head on her shoulder, which caused her to go completely still.

When that happens, I'll tell you to "Give me a break."

He did not make a sound while his arms, legs, and body continued to become intertwined with one another. She waited calmly for a number of minutes, as she wanted to make sure that he had a sufficient amount of time to think over the information that she had just given him. Nevertheless, she was aware of his lips kissing the back of her neck. She heaved a breath as she fought desperately to get away.

He offered her a passionate kiss on the spot of her neck that had a history of rendering her helpless, and she accepted it. He brushed his fingertips along the hem of her skirt.

I told you to put an end to that, Cam. While he was moaning, he put one of his fingers inside of her.

It is only because of me that you are able to feel this way.

"Release me."

As he nibbled at her neck, his fingers worked at a faster and faster pace. She did her best to suppress a groan, but the tension in her body made it difficult for her to breathe. The agony of her climax tore through her like a knife. He withdrew his hand and licked the two fingers that he had most recently been using.

He then turned his back on her after he had finished releasing her. It was obvious that her eyes were beginning to water. She had the desire to surprise him and restore everything back to the way it had been. The other part of her was trying to inspire her to be bold, to let go of the past, and to throw herself openly into brand new adventures and activities.
