Love in Country (De La Fuente Family #4)(8)

“Hmm.”

“What does ‘hmm’ mean?” he asks, amusement lacing his voice.

“I’m referring to a different kind of woman than you usually go for.” I smirk.

Diego looks stunned and then he throws his head back and roars with laughter. “I like you, and I’m sure as hell glad that Aiden has you.”

Laughter leaves my face and panic takes over. I’ve always suspected Aiden’s family know of our feelings for each other, but hearing Diego admit it causes my belly to ache.

“Hey,” Diego adds, “don’t worry, Sarah. We all see what’s going on between you and my brother, and we all know what a bastard the man you married is. There’s obviously a reason why you’re still with him, but whatever it is will change and you’ll be free to be with Aiden. I’m cool with it, and so is everyone else.” He wraps an arm around me and kisses the top of my head, which surprises me.

“I wish my life was easier,” I admit, and sigh into the hug.

“Nothing in life worth having is easy,” Diego says, and then adds, “He’s jealous.”

I turn my attention to Aiden and watch as his strong jaw tightens with annoyance.

Diego laughs. “I’ll see you later.” He waves his hand toward Aiden as he walks away.

I laugh, watching him go, but when I turn back to watch Aiden, I find him striding toward me. I place my foot on the first wooden slat of the fence and push myself up just in time for my lips to meet his in a possessive kiss.

His hand slips behind by head to keep me close as his lips softly caress along mine. “I thought I wouldn’t get a chance to see you before I left.”

There’s no chance of me answering because his lips are on mine again, searching and finding my tongue as they slide together in a kiss of desperation.

Our breathing is heavy when we finally pull away to catch our breath, but I can’t loosen the grip that I have on his shirt.

Suddenly my eyes fill with tears and Aiden’s climbing the fence to pull me into his arms. His fingers caress down the length of my hair before he wraps it around a hand and holds me against him.

“We’ve only just started and I hate leaving you…but I’ll be home before you know it.” He kisses each cheek and cups my face in his hand. “I’m going to miss you too, honey.”

“I’m afraid, Aiden. When we’re together I believe that everything is going to work out, but when we’re apart, I can’t help doubting everything. Being apart scares me.”

Aiden tips his head and stares at me. “I’m yours, Sarah. I promise.” He closes his eyes and takes hold of my hand. “Let’s go.”

“Where?” I ask, knowing that I’ll following him anywhere he wants.

“I want to be somewhere private with you.”

I stay quiet as Aiden leads me through his home and once inside his bedroom, he closes and locks his door.

My heart pounds as he stalks toward me, tossing his shirt off and unbuckling his belt. He loosens the button on his jeans and causes my mouth to water at the sight.

There is a craving inside of me to feel him against me without clothes. I quickly remove my jacket, then tug my sweater and t-shirt off in one swoop before kicking my shoes and pants off until I’m left in my bra and panties.

I smile at Aiden as his eyes caress all over me, the bulge behind his zipper throbbing.

“You have too many clothes on,” I tease and cock an eyebrow. “I want to see you, Aiden. I want the memory of you completely naked before me to keep me going until you’re home and in my arms again.”

His fists clench at his sides and when I remove my panties and bra, he closes his eyes, cursing under his breath.

I crawl backwards onto the bed and rest back against his pillow waiting for him.

“Aiden?”

He opens his eyes and shoves his shorts down to his ankles and steps out of them as he walks toward me.

My eyes are drawn to his long, hard erection, which strains toward his naval and, eventually, they travel up his torso to his amazing chest and the sprinkling of chest hair. His nipples are hard and erect and match the hardness of mine. It doesn’t take long for my eyes to go back to his cock and watch as he caresses himself.

It’s arousing and I almost squirm from the throb going on between my legs. I want more…and I think I’m about to get more as he touches my ankles.

Climbing between my spread thighs, he caresses up my legs while I’m silently relieved that I shaved them in the shower last night.

“You’re beautiful, Sarah.” He dips down and kisses my pelvis before he uses his tongue to tickle between my lips on each side. “You taste good,” he whispers against my * before his mouth suckles my clit.

The moan I held in earlier now escapes as I arch my back and widen my legs so that he can get closer. He takes that as an invitation and puts my legs over his shoulders, his hands grasping my hips.

The pleasure that starts to build sets fireworks off in my belly and knowing that it’s Aiden between my thighs has me close to coming. I don’t want to come yet though because I want to savor what he’s doing, but I can’t. All motives to think instead of feel have left me.

And when his tongue pushes into my sex, my eyes roll back and I climax on his month. The growl Aiden lets out prolongs my release and curls my toes.
