“I’m unarmed,” he says, and I laugh and invite him in.
“I’m just going to grab the keys and leashes and then I’ll be ready to go.”
“I can’t wait to see how this is supposed to work,” he says, and Gia actually snorts.
“It looks like they’re taking her on a walk, but she likes it,” she says as she leans against the kitchen counter.
“I heard a lot of nice things about you yesterday,” Aiden says, and Gia narrows her eyes on me.
“You better have.”
She looks deadly, but I know she’s only teasing. I poke her arm when I walk by and she fakes like I’ve wounded her. “I’ll see you later,” I tell her as Aiden and I walk out.
“Be safe! Don’t die!” she shouts, and I close the door in her face.
“Sorry about that,” I tell Aiden as we get on the elevator.
“I like that she looks out for you,” he says, and suddenly I feel his fingers against mine and then my hand is in his.
I was going to say something else, but suddenly all thoughts before he touched me are out the window. Who the hell is this guy and what is he doing to me?
On the way to get the dogs we spend a lot of time talking. I ask him more about what he does and where he’s from. I don’t realize how much I’m smiling until my face begins to hurt. He asks me about all kinds of stuff like favorite movies and food and what I like to do when I’m not walking dogs.
“I didn’t think to ask, but do you live in the city?” I query when we’ve gotten the last dog and are headed to the park.
“Right now I’m just watching you in wonder as you manage all of them,” he says, staring at me.
“I’ve got strong arms,” I reply and wink at him and then immediately feel shy afterwards.
“I live just outside of downtown. Not too far.” He looks away from me as he answers and then changes the subject. “Have dinner with me tonight.”
“Okay,” I agree quickly, then I wonder if maybe that was too quick.
“Good,” he says and smiles at me. We stare at each other for a moment before I’m distracted by tangling leashes and excitable dogs.
We spend the day together, and when I ask him about work he says he took the day off. He ends up helping me walk half the dogs and after we drop them off we have lunch at a nearby cafe. We sit outside in the sunshine and I’ve never felt so light and happy before. My attraction to him is off the charts and we talk nonstop.
This is what I always thought of when people say they knew instantly that their person was the one. He’s charming and sweet and every time he touches me something sparks inside me. There’s a buzz between us and all I can think about is, when will he kiss me again?
“I need to change if we’re going to go to dinner,” I say as I look down at my clothes. They’re mostly covered in dog hair, but one of the Jack Russells got excited and I ended up with muddy paw prints all down my jeans.
“Why don’t I drop you off at your place and then meet you at the restaurant,” he says, and I agree.
We walk hand in hand to my apartment and the whole way I’m nervous. I wave to the doorman and we make our way up to my door. I’m trying my best to control myself. What I want to do is leap into his arms, but I don’t want him to think I’m a crazy person.
We’re silent as we ride the elevator up, but the rhythmic feel of his thumb going back and forth over mine is heightening every nerve in my body. I nearly jump out of my skin when the elevator chimes and we walk out.
I unlock the door and step inside to tell him goodbye. “I guess I’ll see you—”
I’m cut off when Aiden grabs me up in his arms and presses his lips to mine. My back hits the wall and he kisses me like he’s been waiting all day to do it. I’m shocked for only a second before I catch up to him. I wrap my legs around his waist and moan when he grinds me against the wall. When I feel his tongue touch mine I whine at how good it feels. Is this what it’s like to be completely consumed?
He thrusts his lower half against mine and the hard ridge of his cock is rubbing in just the exact right spot. His hands are on my ass and he’s holding me closer to him as he dry humps me on the wall. I’ve never been so horny in my life and he’s only just kissing me.
