CHAPTER FOUR
Aaron opened his door just a few steps away from the elevator, his heart picking up the pace in his chest as he watched her walk in slowly. She smelled like a mixture of cherries and lime, something he hadn’t noticed until he was this close to her. Her hair bounced around her lean shoulders, looking loose and free as she looked around the large living room. “This is beautiful, Aaron. I mean, I’ve been in places like this but wow.”
“You’ve traveled in some good circles in your business.” Aaron walked over to the shelf to drop his keys into the bowl of rocks and looked at her. “It still takes you by surprise though, yeah? You didn’t grow up with money, did you?”
“We just did okay. Average really. I worked hard in school to get my scholarship and take as much as I could early so I could work sooner.” Holly admitted, smiling as she spoke about her family. “They’re in Kentucky with my sister. Abby is in tenth grade and Dad works for the State while my mom is a travel agent. They’re very happy but they’ve always been simple. I guess I feel guilty sometimes for what I’ve seen but I help them out when I can.” She looked around again. “New York has really been overwhelming to me.”
“I grew up over in Philadelphia. Dad moved them here when I started playing for the team though they have a house out on Long Island. Mom isn’t a fan of city life.” Aaron told her, watching as she walked over to him. “Dad did well investing what he made at the bank as a manager and mom sold houses part time. My two older sisters are married to nine-to-five guys and have families out there as well. They taught me to work hard for what I have.”
“You have.” Holly murmured, dropping her bag onto the floor by the couch and licking her lips. “I can’t believe I am going to kiss Aaron Neller.”
“Are you?” He asked her in a husky voice, feeling her response in the way that she threw her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his softly, guiding the kiss before she moved his mouth against hers slowly. Holly moved to her tiptoes as she took a deep breath through her nose and parted her lips for him, inviting him to taste her mouth as he pulled her closer. Aaron slid his tongue against hers slowly, dragging out the feeling of it as his body started responding.
He’d kissed a lot more women than he’d actually slept with, but nothing had ever felt the way her hot mouth did as he dragged his tongue back over hers harder as she moaned against him. It was intoxicating and he slid his hands up and down her body over the jacket before she pulled away to shrug it off. Her lips were swollen and pink as she stared at him with a drunken look, making him want to shove her against the wall and kiss her into oblivion. Aaron had to remind himself that she’d been through something awful even though desire was the only thing that he saw in her eyes as she looked around the room slowly. “This is surreal,” Holly told him as she sank onto the couch and leaned back, inviting him with her eyes.
Aaron joined her, pulling her face to his to claim her lips roughly in a deep kiss that she immediately returned, tilting her head to allow him to go in harder. He kissed her with everything that he had as his cock hardened and his nerve endings twitched with need, careful not to push her too far as she whimpered against his lips. Holly moved over him, pushing the dress up to straddle him as she sucked his tongue between her lips and moved against him with a slow movement of her hips. He gripped her ass with one hand and let the other drag in her hair as he guided her movements, their kisses getting careless and sloppy as she moved against him in a torturous movement. “Holly…I want you so bad.” Aaron told her as he pulled away, closing his eyes and taking a breath. “How much do you want from me, baby?”
“I haven’t wanted this for a long time, Aaron. I do now.” Holly told him, making him think that it had been since the attack over a year ago. “I need you.”
“Tell me to stop anytime.” Aaron reminded her before he kissed her again, softly and deeply before running his hands up and down her back down to her legs as she shivered. She was so soft and hot as he stroked her outer thighs, jolting against him as she brushed against his cock. Her nipples were hard and pressed against his chest as he memorized the feeling of her in his arms, feeling like it was going to end all too soon. “Can I take this off?”
Holly glanced at the window, high and private before she nodded at him with a heated look. Aaron lifted the soft dress over her head, admiring her pale curves and deep pink nipples as he dropped it to the couch, smoothing her hair down her back. Her skin was damp and he leaned in to kiss her lips again as he stroked the underside of her breast slowly, making her moan. He tugged softly on her hair before he kissed her jaw gently, thumbing her nipple as she closed her eyes and took several deep breaths. “You’re gorgeous. Sexy and so ready.” Aaron told her as he kissed her neck softly, slipping his hands down to cup her bare, rounded ass gently as she rocked against him.
This was better than anything he’d ever had before, taboo or not. He wasn’t even in a great rush to be inside of her as he kissed down her chest slowly, tasting her sweat from earlier as he inhaled the scent of her desire. He cupped a breast with his hand, still squeezing her ass with the other one as he leaned in to tongue her teasingly before sucking it between his lips. She groaned as she dropped her head back, her hair tickling his hand as she murmured words that he couldn’t focus on as he tasted her sweet body eagerly. “Oh God.” She rode him harder, whimpering with each thrust of her hip as he sucked harder, drawing the nipple between his teeth as he waited for her reaction. “Ahhhhhh, yes.” Holly gripped his hair as he watched her fall apart before him, shaking and wetting his shorts with her release as her skin flushed a deep pink and she dropped against him. “I’ve never done that like that before.” She was stammering, breathless and gorgeous as he felt her twitch through the long orgasm. “Ohhhhhh,” Aaron ran his fingers through her hair as he felt her relax against him with a soft giggle. “That felt really good.”
“I agree.” Aaron told her as she lifted her head to look at him, embarrassed by the sun.
“You didn’t get to…” Holly pressed her lips together as he leaned in to kiss her.
“I didn’t have to. This isn’t some quick thing for me, Holly.” Aaron confessed to her as she frowned at him.
“How will this end?” Holly questioned as he kissed her again, sliding her arms around his neck.
“Let’s take it day-by-day for now. I just love feeling you like this.” Aaron whispered to her, hearing her breath catch in her throat.
“I want to feel you inside of me, Aaron. I don’t think that I can get enough of you.” Holly told him, moving back to tug at his shirt as she eyed him greedily. “I couldn’t stop staring at you in the gym today.” He assisted her in taking it off and then moved his hands to the shorts. Holly tugged them, moving to free them from his feet as she gasped and stared at him. “Will that even fit?”
“Perfectly. I can wear a condom for you but I’m clean. I am checked a lot if you feel comfortable with me going bare.” Aaron told her, having been a bit worried during his wilder days.
“I have been on the pill forever. Bad periods.” Holly told him, reaching down to stroke him with her hand. She stared into his eyes as he breathed slowly, focused on the squeeze of her small hand around him.
“Do you really want this?” Aaron asked her, feeling close to coming as he started to rock against her hand.
“Why are you so worried about me?” Holly asked him, her eyes darkening in the light of the room. “Oh, Aaron…you looked me up. Didn’t you?”
“Holly, I didn’t know what I ‘d find. I just don’t want to hurt you.” He assured her, cupping her face and staring into her eyes. Her eyes teared up and she closed them slowly. “I just wanted to start a normal life again and there you were.”
“I’m the first since it happened?” Aaron asked her and she nodded slowly. “I want it to be good for you, Holly. I want you to trust me.”
“I do,” she told him and he kissed her as he pressed her onto her back on the couch. “Make love to me.”
