Chapter 6: Falling For You
"Do you have dinner plans with your mother?" Aaron asked from his seat on the balcony of Emily's room. He hoped not as it was his last night in Paris. He dreaded his flight in the morning but he had to get back to his son and work.
"No, I cancelled." Emily smirked at him. The past two days had been wonderful exploring the city with Aaron. She still made time to spend with her mother but she wanted to spend their last night together with him and him alone. They both silently agreed not to speak of what happens next for them when he leaves. Emily never thought she would fall for a man as fast as she had and the uncertainty of it all weighed heavily on her heart. On one hand they agreed to a fling in Paris nothing more but from the time they spent together she knew it was more, or at least for her it was.
The dark haired man was hard to read which stumped her beyond belief. Her job was to read people. She was trained to know what others are thinking but the stranger she met in a bar completely confused her. At times his emotions were clear in his eyes but other times he guarded them with everything he had. Looking into a mirror she mused thinking about the way she held back her own emotions.
"Why'd you do that?" he questioned looking rather smug from his spot beside her.
Emily shook her head gently "I have no clue. I was going to have dinner with this guy I met but now that I'm thinking about it I might not. I mean I met him a few days ago and yeah, he was nice and charming but the more I get to know him he's…"
"You better watch what you say next or you will be sleeping in that big bed alone tonight." He teased getting out of his chair and leaned over her letting his lips hover over her slightly parted ones.
"I can just go find another…" her response was cut off by his lips capturing hers. She let him dominate the kiss loving the way his lips melted into hers. Her hands ran through the hair at the back of his neck pulling him closer but not enough to make him fall onto her.
"You can but you will be oh so sorry." He said pulling back and walking away before her eyes were even open.
Emily chuckled watching his retreating back.
After a nice dinner out Aaron took Emily's hand on their way out of the small restaurant, he had mentally prepared himself for their last day together but emotionally he was torn. He wanted to stay just a little longer with her but if he did he knew he would never leave. She had caught him in her web and staying any longer would only enhance that.
He also knew the chances of them actually working in the real life they both ignored for the few days they had together. Both with demanding careers and lives of their own would only serve to hamper the life they might have. It wasn't that he didn't want to try but they both agreed, only a fling in Paris.
"What are you thinking?" Emily asked noticing the tight line his smile took. The waves of doubt and uncertainty rolled off him but she didn't comment.
"Ah… nothing really. Do you want to stop for some dessert?" he covered pulling her in close to his side.
"Sure. What'd you want?" she agreed with a smile thinking about the wonderful chocolate about to come her way. Aaron had a sweet tooth to rival her own she learned. The first night they had dinner together she ordered dessert and he didn't. By the time Emily even had two bites he already ate half.
"Doesn't matter, you pick." He told her with a smile. She ended up pick a small chocolate shop close to her hotel. Aaron laughed as her eyes grew wide looking over the different delicious treats. As she licked her lips and explored the shop Aaron ordered a special treat for later then paid for her picks. By the time they reached her room Emily's mouth was watering just smelling the confections in the box. She eyed his box but he just smiled and shook his head.
"It's proper manners to share." She commented taking off her jacket and slipping off her heels.
"I don't have manners." He said doing the same with his coat and shoes then dug through his suitcase they picked up earlier during the day. She made him check out of his hotel room and bring his things to hers since it would be pointless to have his until morning.
"I beg to differ." She raised an eyebrow. "You are quite the gentleman." She secretly loved that about him.
"Well right now I'm not, so don't touch my treats. You have more than enough to satisfy your sweet tooth." He smiled giving her a warning wink placing his box away from hers.
Emily pouted. "But what if yours are better? I'll share if you do." She sauntered her way to him running her hands over his shirt covered chest with a saucy grin on her lips.
He looked down at her pushing down his urge to kiss those full red lips. His hands clenched into fists at his sides as she slowly unbuttoned the first button on his white dress shirt. Swallowing hard he shook his head. "N-no you can't have mine." Stay strong! He told himself.
The stutter in his words made Emily's insides melt and her small grin burst into a full on smile. She went to the next button keeping her eyes on his dark orbs that seemed to darken rapidly. "Please?" she pouted once again.
Aaron was losing he knew but not giving into her was always fun. Or for the past five days it was. "I have a few conditions" he told her licking his lips just thinking about them.
"Oh really?" she questioned going for another button and kissing the exposed skin of his chest. "What do you have in mind?"
Aaron held in the groan in the back of his throat as her breath washed over his skin. She went lower getting most of the buttons of his shirt and kissing most of her way. Emily pushed his shirt off his shoulders smirking at the lust that covered his eyes. "Can I have some conditions too?" she asked bringing him out of his daze.
He thought about it for a moment. "What are they?"
"You'll see." She smirked.

"Do you think we will ever see each other again?" Emily asked curling into his side as they both caught their breath afterwards. The thought made her inside scream but she kept her cool outward.
"I don't know." he said honestly. "I wish I could tell you that we would but…" he trailed off both knowing the chances.
After a few moments of silence Emily looked up at him "Well thanks for some amazing sex." She laughed trying to lighten the mood even though her heart was already breaking.
He laughed deeply. "You too." then he sobered taking her mouth with his telling her in their own way how much he would miss her.
A/N: This was the hardest scene to take from. I nearly cried taking out the chocolate scene! But it had to be done!
