Because of My Best Friend

12. Saying Goodbye

“No…. No way did he do that!!!”  I giggle out, rolling my body over to lay on top of his chest, while staring at his sexy dark eyes.

“Yup… he also broke one of my bedside lamps while throwing her shoes out of my closet.  I tell you, when cheating is involved, Tanner kind of loses it.  His dad cheated on his mom and he hated seeing her so broken.  He will never stand for it.”

To my amazement, Aiden created a picnic of sorts in his living room.  He moved his coffee table and laid out a thick comforter for us to lay on.  Since neither of us were too hungry, he brought out a plate of fruits and a couple of sodas.  He took of his tie and we both kicked off our shoes and have been laying here since, engrossed in each other’s tales.  It surprised me at first when he brought up Olivia, his ex, but I’m glad he’s comfortable around me to talk about it.

Now, here I am, half on top of him… playing with the buttons on his shirt.  His hand gently caresses my side as we lay in silence.

“What are you thinking about?”

I look back up to him and give him a soft smile.  “Nothing.  Just enjoying how nice this is.  I can’t even remember the last time a guy ‘wooed’ me.  And it doesn’t feel forced… it just feels natural.”

“I agree.  I wasn’t planning on meeting someone like you Ms. Spencer.”

“Pfft, I’m no one special.  I’m just me,” I say with a shrug. 

He sits up, pulling me up with him and rests his back on the couch.  “That’s exactly what it is Justine.  You’re just you…. And I like it.  Don’t put yourself down because I’ve never met a woman so brazen and fun to be around in a long time.  You even have your own personal Tanner, who you, undoubtedly, love a lot.  They don’t make our lives easy,” he says, putting my hair behind my ear while staring at my face. 

I laugh at his comment about the ‘Tanner’s’, but everything else he said almost made me stop breathing.  I lean forward and press my lips to his for a good long minute.  When we break the kiss, I kiss his cheek, then lean back.  “Thank you Aidan.” 

I swear, the man starts to blush and I let out a small giggle.  “Now, are we going to have s*x?” I say with my most serious expression.  Hell, I can’t help it.  It was getting waaaayyy too serious right there.

“Jesus Justine,” he groans, laying his head back. 

I laugh as I stand up and take the plate and drinks to the kitchen.  “Now, I am on birth control, but we are still going to use condoms.  That’s plural Aidan.  If s*x is going to be anything like that kiss from the other night, we are totally doing multiple rounds.  It’s been over a year sir, so you better make it good!”

Once I’m done throwing things away and ranting, I turn around and see him leaning against the wall glaring at me, making me smile even bigger.

“You’re an evil woman.”  He deadpans, but before I can retort, he starts unbuttoning his shirt, and my smile slowly starts disappearing, causing him to smirk.  “If this is the way you want to play it woman, then I’ll join in.”  He shrugs his shirt off and I bite my lower lip as he starts undoing his belt.  Gah, I love seeing a man undress while staring at me.  “It’s been over 6 months for me sweetheart, and I agree on the condom use, because I swear if I enter your tight cunt bare, I won’t last long.” 

Holy s**t!  He dirty talks!

I let out a small whimper as I squeeze my thighs together.  He throws his belt on the counter and starts walking…. No, stalking towards me.  I’m so freakin’ turned on. 

Once he reaches me, his hands go to the sides of my neck again, lifting my head slightly to meet his hungry gaze.  “And we wouldn’t want that, would we Justine?”

“No sir,” I say on a breathy moan.  And he kisses me hard.  So damn hard that if his body didn’t press mine to the wall, I would have fallen down.  We both moan loud into the kiss as our tongues find each other and my hands wander all over his back, shoulders, and arms.  This is heaven.

When he breaks the kiss, he immediately lifts me up from under my ass, making me gasp as my body presses to his.  My breasts are almost above his eye level, but he’s just staring into my eyes as I look down while he walks us to his bedroom.  With a simple smile, his face instantly transforms from hungry Dom to the sweet Aidan I’ve gotten to know this week. 

“This is fun,” he laughs as he sets me down on my feet.  I must give him a confused look, because his toothy smile shifts to a softer one.  “Olivia didn’t like playing around like that.”  Well damn, her loss!!

He almost looks like he regrets bringing her up… I mean, we are about to have s*x, and that should be a rule right?  But it didn’t bother me.  He was open about his s*x life, and hey, I dig it.  I grab the hem of my dress, lifting it over my head, and smirk when I see his eyes narrow on my matching black lace ensemble.  “Well, I do…. So hop to it sir!”

We both laugh as he picks me up and throws me onto his bed.  In no time at all, the laughs stop as we both play out our fantasies with each other.

 I hear him pushing snooze on his alarm clock and feel his body coming back to mine, wrapping an arm around my mid section once again.  Usually, I hate waking up early, but this morning, I can’t help how happy I feel.  I’ve been awake for over an hour, just feeling this moment. 

Aidan and I went four rounds with each other last night/this morning.  FOUR!  I was well satiated after the third, but when master Aidan came out to play, there was no stopping him.  I can tell there are many sides to him, and so far, I like them all.  Typically, it would be awkward after having s*x with someone you just met, but after he discarded the last condom, he crawled back into bed and pulled me on top of him as we came down from our highs, then both passed out.  It’s just crazy how comfortable everything is.

His alarm goes off yet again, and I smile as he softly groans.  He gets out of bed and I can hear him shuffle around. 

“Hey Sam, it’s Aidan.  I’m calling to let you know I’ll be a little late this morning.”  I turn around and see him smiling while looking at me, but all I can focus on is his hardening member.  “Yea, I’ve got a few things to attend to, and then I’ll be in the office.  Alright.  Thanks, bye.”

He hangs up his phone and I finally look into his eyes, and I blush.  Why the hell do I blush?  He knows almost every single part of my body by now. 

“You look sexy in my bed Justine,” he simply states.  Ugh, this man. 

Before I can say or do anything, my phone starts ringing.  I lean over and see its Kelsey.  “Hey Kels”

As much as I hate to say this, but we have to check out by noon… so we should leave at 10 the latest….

I look up and see Aidan watching my face intently.  “10?  Yea, I guess.”  He starts walking towards the bed.

Better get your last round in honey.  We gotta go home.  See you in a bit.

“Bye,” I say in a low voice.  Aidan is sitting next to me now.  Back to reality, I guess.

He leans over and gives me a chaste kiss.  It still sends sparks down to my toes and I hate that I can’t take him with me.  This was just s*x right?  He just got out of a serious relationship.  I highly doubt he would want to work for a long distance one.  Would I even want a long-distance relationship?  Where do we go from here?

Before my inner monologue runs me off a cliff, Aidan kisses me again, with more passion, causing me to moan and lean into his touch.  “That’s better… lost you there for a bit.”  I open my eyes and see him smirking.  I turn to look at the clock at it’s 8:15.  Aidan follows my gaze and starts wiggling his eyebrows.  I can’t help it…. I jump him.  Hard.

“So…. I had fun.”  I laugh because he’s trying to make this awkward, but it’s really not.  Our fingers are laced with each other’s as I lean up against my car waiting for Kelsey.  We opted for one more round of s*x, then took a shower together.  Let me tell you.  As much fun as having s*x with this man is, it’s even more fun washing his body and teasing him.  Yea… okay… I ended up giving him a b*****b… but he most definitely returned the favor.

I let out a sigh as we see Tanner and Kels pull up.  “Guess this is it.”  I lean forward and give him a kiss.  “Have a good day at work.”

He gives me a small smile and it does something to my stomach.  Oh, why can’t we live closer?

Kelsey walks towards the car looking hella sad.  I look over to Tanner as he makes way to her.  Before she can shut her door, he leans down and kisses her, and I think I hear her whimper.  Must be a hell of a kiss.  He tells her bye and closes the door.  He makes his way over to us and surprises me by giving me a full hug. 

I smile and hug him back and he steps next to Aidan.  “Thanks Justine, for bringing her.  I’m glad we all met.”

“You really helped healing her Tanner.  I hope you know that.”  He puts his head down, but I could see a small hint of a smile on his face.  Poor man.  He really and truly likes her.  I turn and face Aidan.  “I’m glad we all met too.”

I got into the car and drove us away.  As soon as we hit the highway, Kelsey linked her fingers with mine.  We didn’t really need to talk.  We let the music play softly as both of us contemplated the last week with the men that we wish we could have in our lives.  It was just a fling, but damn… what a wonderful fling it was.  Before too long, we would settle back into our normal routine and let this past week be a wonderful memory.   That’s all we can hope for, right?
