Hello! Welcome back to my super fast update! HA! I very much enjoyed writing my last chapter (Josh is one lucky dog and Aidan is... well, he's soon to be lucky!). This will start off with the Aidan/Anna teaser I left you guys with (sorry about that!). And I'm making this up as I go along so, I have no idea how it's gonna turn out. I wish I did, but I don't. I'm appreciating all the praise though. You guys are great!
Here we go. I own nothing.
...
Anna felt air whoosh out of her lungs as she fully opened her door. The butterflies in her stomach nearly made her naseous and her heart was thumping soo loudly, she was quite sure the man waiting for her on the other side of the door could hear it.
He's a vampire, idiot. Of course, he could hear it!
She tried to compose herself. The way Aidan had spoken to her through her door made her face heat up and her lady parts were berating her to just let him in. Her heart sang with emotions she couldn't quite identify. He hadn't even said anything remotely expilcit or any kind of declaration of feelings or anything but, she could hear it in his textured voice that she could feel way down to her toes.
Litlle by little, she pushed the door open. Buying her time and confidence she just did not have at the moment.
One... Two... Three...
Open sesame!
And there he stood.
He wore the same thing he was wearing earlier when he'd dropped her off. Only this time sporting a leather jacket.
Yummy. Dammit!
The way he looked at her. Like a thirsty man deprived of water for so long, only to find an abundant fountain to drink from, made her blush even more. The naked hunger and desire in his eyes made her knees weak and her, um... parts tingle.
The words he had said in his car resonated in her head, making her even fill up with even more trepidation and excitement.
"I can feel how afraid you are. And I know it's not because you think I'll kill you."
Oh, boy.
"Hi." Aidan's voice brought her attention back to him.
As he slid his dark gaze over from head to toe, she shuffled self-consciously. When she had arrived that morning, Anna had never been more relieved that she had no classes. She'd immediately showered, brushed her teeth, and then had changed into a pajama set of a layered tank top and some coordinating striped pajama pants. She'd gone and dozed off on her bed. A doze that turned into 3 hours of sleep.
After waking up, she brushed her teeth again and had sat down to study. Which had gotten interrupted by her phonecall with Josh and again interrupted by the arrival of the man standing in front of her.
"Hi." She hoped she didn't sound so breathless and aroused but, her voice wouldn't listen.
"Are you gonna invite me in?"
She nodded like a moron before remembering she was gonna have to actually voice her invitation. "Oh! Yeah. Please, come in."
Anna gestured oddly inside her apartment as he made to move across the threshold. When he walked past her, her 'wolfy senses' picked up the masculine, subtle scent of his cologne mixed with his cool bare essense. The momentary sensory overload caught her off balance and she had to hold onto her door handle to keep herself standing.
And then, when he turned to look at her, giving her one of his 'looks, she fought a shiver. "So, what did you wanna talk about?" She cringed as her voice came out high-pitched and loud.
As he started coming closer, she held a hand out to halt him. "Wait. Wait. Let's just think for a sec-"
"I'm done thinking." He was very close to her now. He looked predatory now, with his black clothes and leather jacket. And she was sure, standing pressed against her own door in her pastel sleepwear, she looked very much like easy prey to him.
When he was finally in front of her, intruding into her personal space, she leaned closer into the door. "All I do now is think about you anyhow." She let out a shakey breath as his broad, cool hand layed on her cheek, his thump stroking her face. "So, what would be the point in thinking when I know exactly what I want." It was a statement. Not a question.
Of course, she got no chance to say anything back because her mouth became pre-occupied.
It's always been said that you always remember your first kiss. Anna always thought that was an exaggeration. But, as Aidan pressed his perfect lips against hers gently, she finally got it.
His kiss was... god, it was perfect. It was less aggressive than she'd imagined a kiss with him would be. He was softer, more gentle than she could ever hope for. His cold lips nipped lightly before her own subconsciously got the message and opened up.
"Mmm." She felt a thrill go through her as he hummed and groaned as their tongues met.
It took Anna a sceond to realize that he pressing her deeper into her door and the kiss, if possible, deepened further. She gasped in want as their mouths tangled together.
She wasn't even paying attention that she was pushing his leather jacket off until the rustle of the fabric hit the floor.
Her hands had a mind of their own as they freely roamed his broad back. She had no idea what she was doing but, based on the soft growl eminating from his throat, she was doing pretty damn good for a first timer.
Breathing became heavier and harder to achieve as the kiss intensified. His wonderful tongue flicked repeatedly inside her warm mouth, a moan yanking itself out of both their throats.
And his hands weren't idle, either. He caressed her sides with strong fingers, coming to place both big hands on her ample hips, holding as close to him as possible.
Aidan's fingers dug into the sliver of skin that had been revealed between her top and pants. Not realizing what he was doing, one of his hands had snaked beneath the back of her top, the warmth of her back engulfing his palm.
"Mmmm..." Her soft, feminine moan went straight to his cock and he unconsciously rocked his hips against hers as he started placing kisses on her neck, sucking on her pulse without having the urge to bite into it.
And that is when she froze.
Making himself stop, he paused, face still pressed into her neck. "What's wrong?" His voice was rougher than it had ever sounded.
"It's nothing. It's just-" She sounded apologetic and as he straightened to look at her, still in his arms, she was shaking her head to clear it.
"I'm not ready." She looked him dead in the eye as she said this.
Great. I knew I souldn't have come here.
"Oh." And he stepped back, releasing her from his hold.
He must have let his disappointment show on his face because the thing he knew, she was speaking again. "Oh! No. No. No! I don't mean this." She gestured between them and smiled a little. "I like this. This is fine. It's just the um,... sex thing." She mumbled the last part a bit and he thanked his superior hearing because he heard it perfectly. "I'm not ready for that. I've never-"
He moved forward and had her in his arms again, gazing into her eyes. "It's okay. Really. I don't care about that right now." Okay, so he was lying a little but, it was not the most important thing on his mind with her at least. "I can wait til your ready. Until then..."
"Until then what?" She looked at him inquisitively, like she was trying to read him.
He smiled at her. "Until then, I can take you out to dinner."
She laughed and smiled brightly.
If he wasn't sure before, that was probably the kick in the ass that made him realize how in deep he was with this woman.
...
A/N: Well, what'd you think? Be honest. And yes, Aidan will wait for as long as Anna will make him. And he is serious about the dinner, too. And I have not said the 'L' word again because Aidan still isn't sure he feels love yet. His feelings are strong, very strong, though. And Anna is still finguring her feelings for him, too, so...
Love ya and please review!
