that? My eyes ran over his body, unable to pull them away from those hard planes of muscle until I forced myself to. I looked down at Mason, who watched us, sleepy eyed.

“I can go—” he started to say.

“No,” I replied.

“You want to know if there’s some kind of connection there.” He tilted his head towards Aidan.

“I need to know.”

“Then explore, baby.” His eyes slid to Aidan. “You treat her good though. You think you can push her—”

“I don’t want to push her." Aidan said the words passionately, then flushed when he realised what he was saying. Mason and I stared at him, silently reminding him just how much he’d pushed. His arm shot out, hooking around my waist and dragging me close, where he held me but a breath away. “I know I have. I fucked up. I—”

I pressed my fingers to his lips, not wanting or needing to hear it right now. “Shh… This doesn’t mean anything’s forgiven and forgotten. You’ve been pushy, a prick, and irrespective of what your dad said, you had a choice.” Confusion reigned in his eyes as I stroked my palm across his cheek, feeling that abrupt bone structure. “You could have treated me well, empathised with my position, and seen more than just your lust.” My other hand slid down, skating past his chest, his lean abs, until I had the aching centre of him, heavy and hard, between my fingers.

“So that’s what this will be,” I promised. “Lust. All my fucking life, I had people telling me what to do, who to choose, when to choose. Well right now, I’m making the dumb choice.” His teeth locked down tight as I swivelled my hand up and down his length, muffled groans sneaking past them. “Touching the wrong man, the one I shouldn’t.” Something flashed hard in his eyes, but he didn’t pull away. Instead, his fingers closed around mine, squeezing his cock hard by proxy, forcing my pace to quicken until I jerked them free.

“You don’t get to control this.” I shoved him away so Aidan lay back on the bed, a veritable feast laid out for me. “You don’t get to control me. There’s no memories here, no obligations. If you stay here, if you permit this, I’m going to use you. For pleasure, for curiosity…” An idea came to me as I spoke, so foreign, I fell silent for a second. “Just for shits and giggles. Because you’re hot and beautiful and I want to touch you, and for once, I’d be doing so with someone who isn’t drowning me in memories.”

“You want something strange,” Aidan drawled, a devil-may-care smile rising.

“Fuck yeah, I do. So are you up for it?”

He rested there on his elbows, and I reckon he knew what a picture that made of his massive, well muscled body. His cock jumped under my inspection, as if he could feel my gaze on his skin.

“I’m up for whatever you’ve got.” His eyes slid sideways to Mason. “That’s how it works, doesn’t it? You need, we provide. If all I can give you is a blank slate, then write your need across my skin.” His grin became feral. “Show me what you’ve got.”

For a moment, I paused, wondering if I had bitten off more than I could chew. Where did I…? How would I…? Mason seemed to see this, getting to his knees and sliding behind me, holding me in his arms and moving his lips to my ear.

“You want him?” he whispered. I nodded sharply. “So what do you want to try first? Don’t think, not this time. Just feel. Reach out and slide your hand across his body, and he will be thanking Mother Moon herself for her bounty.”

And as if to provide an incentive, he slapped his hand across my arse, making me spin around with a hiss.

“I’m having a shower and you’re gonna slake whatever you’ve got left with him, because when you’re done, we’re sleeping. They’re calling a town hall meeting in the morning about the fights. You need to be fresh for that.”

And true to his word, he left, so it was just me, Aidan, and my thoughts.

This probably wasn’t how he thought it would start, me tracing the vein that ran along the top of his foot. Aidan had nice feet, well-shaped, big but not lumpy. His skin felt warm as I branched out, flattening my hand against it, feeling the curve of the top until it met his ankle. He watched me move with glittering eyes, just waiting as I grew bolder and traced the muscles in his calves, spreading them further apart as I crawled up. The hair thinned the higher I got up, and my fingers stopped to revel in the super smoothness of his inner thigh, just stroking my fingertips up and down until he let out a low moan. He spread his thighs wide, knees bent, so both sides were easy to access, something that made me smile.

“You’re driving me fucking nuts,” he growled out. “I ache so much.”

“What aches? This?” I grazed a finger across his balls.

“Goddess, fuck, yes, there. My cock, my balls, every damn part of me… Uh!”

I relented, dropping to my hands and knees around his hips, taking his cock in hand, and then running my tongue up the length of it.

“Oh, god, fuck, yes…”

It all came out as rapid pants as I traced the crown with my tongue. His hips flexed, trying to force his length down my throat, but I pulled away, patiently waiting for him to relax again before licking him like an ice cream. He’d been babbling nonsense, his hands resting oh so lightly on my skull as I underlined every considerable inch of him, but when I took him in my mouth, he began to speak in tongues.

“Oh fuck… Yes, yes! So good, my—I… You…”

It all fell away to groans as I circled the base of his cock, squeezing up and down as I sucked. His dick
