Chapter 85
Aria’s POV
My mind went completely blank as Aiden’s lips pressed against mine. For a moment, I froze in shock, but then something primal took over. I found myself responding to his kiss, my lips parting instinctively as our tongues met in a heated dance.
When he finally pulled away, his dark eyes were molten with desire. “That’s your punishment,” he said, voice husky and demanding, “for mistaking me for a thief and not coming to the airport to welcome me home p>
I blinked, still dazed from the kiss but quickly finding my voice. “Wait, that’s not fair. You never told me to pick you up p>
“Should I need to tell you?” Aiden’s eyebrow arched perfectly. “A good wife would have been eager to welcome her husband home p>
“You’re being completely unreasonable,” I shot back, crossing my arms. My body was still tingling from his kiss, but I wasn’t about to let him win this argument.
In one swift motion, Aiden reached out and pulled me onto his lap. I gasped as I felt his muscular thighs beneath me.
“Yes,” he growled against my ear. “I am being unreasonable p>
Before I could respond, his mouth claimed mine again, this time with even more intensity. His hands gripped my waist firmly, sending waves of heat through my body. I couldn’t help but melt against him, my fingers threading through his still- damp hair.
As he deepened the kiss, shifting me on his lap, I heard the sound of fabric hitting the floor. Breaking away from his lips, I glanced down to see his bathrobe had come partially undone, exposing his perfectly sculpted chest and abs.
Without thinking, I reached out and placed my palm against his warm skin, feeling his heart thundering beneath my touch. The firm muscles rippled under my fingertips as I explored.
“Aria,” Aiden’s voice was impossibly deep now, almost a growl. “Are you asking for a more severe punishment p>
I looked up at him, confused by his words. Before I could question what he meant, he flipped me over in one fluid motion until I was bent over his lap.
“Aiden, what are you p>
The first smack against my bottom made me gasp in shock. It didn’t hurt exactly, but the sensation sent electric currents throughout my body. He delivered another, slightly harder, and I bit my lip to stop from making any embarrassing sounds.
“This is for not greeting me properly,” he said, delivering another firm smack that made me squirm.
The humiliation should have made me angry, but instead, I felt a disturbing thrill coursing through me. With each strike, I felt myself growing wetter, more aroused. I buried my face against the sofa, mortified by my body’s response.
After several more strikes, his large hand began caressing the sensitive flesh he’d just punished. Then, to my absolute shock, I felt his lips press against my heated skin, placing tender kisses where he’d spanked me.
“Feel what you do to me, baby,” he murmured against my skin.
His fingers slid between my thighs, finding me embarrassingly wet. I couldn’t hold
back the moan that escaped my lips when he touched me there.
“So responsive,” he whispered, his breath hot against my most intimate parts as his fingers continued their expert exploration.
When his tongue replaced his fingers, I nearly came undone immediately. The contrast between the punishment and this exquisite pleasure was too much. My body tensed as waves of ecstasy washed over me, and I cried out his name as I shattered completely.
“That’s it, sweetheart,” he encouraged, his voice thick with desire. “Let go for me p>
I couldn’t have stopped my orgasm if I tried. My body convulsed with pleasure as he continued his relentless attention, drawing out my climax until I was trembling and gasping for breath.
As I lay there, trying to catch my breath, I felt him shift beneath me. When finally managed to turn my head found myself face-to-face with his impressive erection hard and demanding attention.
“Your turn to service me,” he said, voice thick with need as he guided my face closer. “Open that pretty mouth of yours p>
I hesitated only briefly before parting my lips, taking him into my mouth with a moan that matched his own.
The weight of him on my tongue, the taste of his skin, the way his fingers tightened in my hair-it all combined to create a heady sensation that made me dizzy with desire.
“That’s it,” he praised, guiding my movements. “Take more p>
I relaxed my throat, allowing him deeper access as I worked him with my tongue and lips.
His breathing grew more labored, his hips starting to move in shallow thrusts as I sucked him harder, hollowing my cheeks.
“Fucking perfect,” he groaned, his control visibly slipping. “Your mouth feels so good, Aria p>
His words spurred me on, making me bolder as I took him deeper, my hands gripping his powerful thighs for leverage.
When I felt him swell even further, I knew he was close. Instead of pulling back, I doubled my efforts, wanting needing to bring him the same pleasure he’d given
me.
With a guttural groan, Aiden’s release hit him hard, his body tensing as he pulsed against my tongue.
I swallowed everything he gave me, not stopping until he gently pulled me away, his chest heaving with exertion.
For a long moment, we simply stared at each other, the air between us charged with something neither of us was ready to name.
Then Aiden pulled me up to him, capturing my lips in another kiss, tasting himself on my mouth. The intimacy of the gesture made my heart race all over again.
Without words, he gathered me in
his arms and carried me to the
bedroom We fell onto the sheets together, our bodies finding comfort in each other’s warmth as
exhaustion finally claimed us both.
