Ajay belongs to Kennedy's Friday Night Delight, Aiden belongs to the lovely Cherrybomb13 who inspired this.
Chris groaned as he rolled onto his back. He was panting heavily from a marathon session with Aiden. She snickered as she kissed him several times. He leaned over to check the time. They had another twenty minutes before he had to leave. They lay in content silence for several minutes, their naked, sweat soaked bodies intertwined.
"Make sure you cover up that bite mark." he grinned as his fingertips grazed the raised skin.
She glared at him and nipped his bottom lip, "You said you were going to behave."
"I thought we agreed its better when I don't." he smirked, closing his mouth on her throat.
He felt her sigh and knew it was almost time for them to leave one another.
"Are you at least feeling a little better?" he wondered.
"You always make me feel better." she told him.
She smoothed back his damp hair, their eyes locking solemnly.
"Do you have to go?" he whispered.
A hint of a smile crossed her face, "Do you?"
He nodded, "Ajay's probably already back."
"Too bad you can't come to L.A. with me." She frowned as they pulled apart.
"I would really misbehave if I had that opportunity." he teased.
They got dressed and made their way to the parking garage.
His hands went to her waist and pulled her to him, "Till next time?"
"Until then." she reaffirmed.
He kissed her thoroughly before opening her car door, "Be careful out there."
"I'll text you when I land." she promised.
His blue eyes scanned her face trying to remember every detail, "I'll be waiting."
He watched her leave, his heart sinking a little every time he watched her drive away. Every time he saw her tail lights his head filled with questions and guilt.
When would he see her again? When would they meet up for another tryst? When were Alex and Ajay going to find out? How could they keep meeting in secret knowing how badly it would hurt their spouses?
He actually knew that answer and so did Aiden.
When they had all been hooking up and switching partners something had clicked between the two of them. A spark had ignited and engulfed them both. When Ajay had found out about their broken promise, things between them quieted down but the flame was never fully extinguished. A month later Chris approached Aiden to see where they stood and one thing had led to another and they had sex in the bed of his truck.
She was his drug and vice versa, yet they would never leave their partners to be together. It was some sort of twisted fantasy that they were living when they were together. When they entered their love nest, no one else existed. There were no problems, no arguments, no worries, just the laughter and passion in its rawest form.
They had tried to put a title to what they had but had failed to reach an agreement. Aiden thought it was lust with a little bit of empathy thrown in. The empathy came from dealing with their wild and rebellious partners at times. Chris on the other hand had not spoke on his theory. He thought that they had both reached that other realm of being able to love more than one person to its fullest extent. It was a taboo subject that would put a dark cloud over what they had, so he had kept his thoughts to himself.
He did love her though. He had even told her several times, and she had said it back. They were both afraid of exploring the possibilities his theory could hold.
Even as he pulled into his driveway his mind was on her. His stomach twisted and ached when she was on a business trip. Anything could happen to her, like Alex had said numerous times. She was surrounded by beautiful, powerful, famous people on a daily basis, and with that came certain dangers. She always shrugged their fears away, and tried to reassure them at the same time.
It never worked.
Chris was jealous that Alex could openly pout about missing his wife. He felt the same way. He would stay awake for hours at night waiting for her to text him.
Being with Aiden did have its advantages. Somehow cheating on his wife made him a better husband. It didn't make sense and Aiden had laughed hysterically at him when he told her.
The facts didn't lie.
Being with Aiden made him happy. He was incredibly attentive with Ajay, he surprised her with flowers, cooked her dinner, and made amazing love to her on a nightly basis. He hated himself for being motivated for the wrong reasons. He could barely look in the mirror at times.
Everything he did with Ajay now seemed like it was practice until he got with Aiden again. He would attempt a difficult recipe and refine it with Ajay so when he cooked it for Aiden it was flawless. He had bought a karma sutra book and practiced several positions on Ajay so he wouldn't look like a fool trying them for the first time with Aiden.
He stepped into his house and kissed Ajay. Her brightly shining eyes were a punch to his gut. He was juggling being a husband and father along with having his best friends wife as a mistress. Sooner or later someone was going to get hurt and that uncertain future made him physically ill at times.
BTW: I love Chris and Aiden together, don't you?
