“To my bright star, Brielle, the epitome of Daddy’s little girl. I know I’ve pushed you to be the best you can. I also know you want to move forward with a career in finance, and maybe once I’m gone, Aiden will give you that opportunity. You were always a bright spark in my eye, and I hold high hopes for you to be successful in whatever you choose to do in life. Look after your mother for me, and spend as much time with her as you can. She loves you just as much as I do.”
I cock my head, that was sweet. I look at Bree, and she’s trying hard to hold back her tears.
“And finally, to my wife, Callie. I know we’ve had many differences over the years, but I’m grateful to have had you in my life. You were never a convenience or a distraction as I so often called you. You were, however, my wife, and I loved you from the moment we laid eyes on each other. I’m so proud of you and how you raised our children, and I’m also proud that you helped me raise them to be the best that they can be. Without you, Callie, my life was empty, and I hope to tell you this before I lose myself completely. I understand that I’m a different man now than who I was when you met me. I let my job become the center of my universe instead of you, and for that, I’m truly regretful. Callie, I will always love you and wish you every happiness for the future.”
Mike looks at Callie, watching her intently to make sure she’s okay, which she seems to be. Her face is st
ern, she looks a little sad, though I’m sure she doesn’t regret her decision to leave Niall.
Jenson places down the paperwork and looks at us. “So, there you have it. Are there any questions?”
I glance at Aiden, who’s looking around the room at his family, but no one says anything.
“Right, if everyone could sign the bottom of this document, I can start getting this all dealt with,” he announces, handing the document to Killian who glances at Aiden for guidance.
Aiden nods, and then everyone goes ahead and signs the document.
“We’re done,” Jenson announces, he stands, then departs as suddenly as he entered, leaving a strange tension in the room. Everyone is quiet. It’s like no one knows quite what to say.
“Who wants more pancakes?” Nana asks, breaking the silence.
Everyone, although a little somber, goes back to chatting and eating breakfast.
Niall might have gotten his final thoughts out on paper, but he won’t have the last word because we get to move on and be happy. And that makes everything we’ve been through worth it.
We walk inside our home and head straight for the shower. Aiden turns on the water, and we step in. The water feels fantastic on my skin and relaxes me instantly. I wet my hair, and Aiden takes the shampoo, lathering it up in his hands and massages my scalp. His fingers are like heaven on my head.
It’s nice to spend time with him on our own. I turn, looking into his bright blue smoldering eyes, and he smiles and leans in to kiss me. He kisses me passionately and pushes me softly against the shower wall. I kiss him back, and my hands run through his hair. Sometimes when people are in pain, they seek forms of pleasure, so I let Aiden seek his pleasure with me.
He moves his hand from my shoulder, slowly grazes my breast, my hip, and then he moves his hand very slowly to my pussy. His cock grows against me while he leans in closer. I shift my hand to his length and use one finger to trace along his hard edges. Aiden’s breathing hitches as does mine when he moves his finger and rotates it on my clit.
I lean my head back against the wall and feel the pleasure rising throughout my body while he kisses my neck. His finger runs circles around my clit, the feeling becoming intense. I move my hand to grasp him and gently stroke up and down his shaft, making him moan. Aiden moves his hand lower until he reaches my opening, and then inserts his fingers, slowly easing them in and out of me.
“Jeni,” he whispers into my mouth as his hips react to my touch. I start to moan as he pushes his fingers deeper inside, using his thumb on my clit. Abruptly, he pulls his fingers out and shifts his hands to my ass cheeks. He grins mischievously as he lifts and then leans me hard against the cold tile wall. I wrap my legs around his waist, and he plunges himself into me, holding onto my weight, using the wall as support.
I moan loud when he enters me. The feeling of the hot water flowing down my front, the cold wall at my back, and Aiden inside me is sensory overload. We kiss while he pushes slowly in and quickly out of me. I hold on around his neck, and my fingers pull gently on his hair. Aiden grips onto my ass tightly as he pushes, his breathing becoming more erratic. The tempo increases, and now he’s pushing in deep, the feeling so fulfilling as he moves faster. Our hips are in motion with each other as he pushes me firmly against the wall. My moans become louder the more he thrusts.
“Aiden, harder,” I moan while he sucks on my nipples. “God, yes,” I moan as he thrusts inside me faster and faster as I grip onto his bare shoulders.
“Fuck, Jeni,” he muffles out while thrusting inside me. His face scrunches in that delicious way, and I know he’s close, but he changes the tempo and slows, surprising me. Aiden moves deeper and gentler inside of me. He obviously doesn’t want it to be over just yet and is trying to make the pleasure last. He moves his head up to kiss me, and then rotates and thrusts. It’s so intense that I feel the heat rise quickly.
“Jeni, look at me. I want to watch you come.” He looks straight into my eyes, letting out a moan while he continues his slow, torturous assault. Aiden rotates slowly and thrusts quickly, picking up the pace while my breathing hitches.
He fastens his pace knowing it will send me over the edge. The heat floods me, and my body trembles as I moan into his mouth with my orgasm. My body shakes uncontrollably, and I cry out his name, all the while looking deep in his eyes.
Eventually, I go limp in his arms, but he holds me tightly and continues. The feeling is so sensitive and overwhelming as he thrusts into me repeatedly. I feel the heat rising again, my back arches, and my breathing hitches. We both moan as he jolts, and I tighten around his cock as he comes hard, and we climax together.
Aiden rests his head in my neck, waiting for our breathing to ease. He gently steps back from me to pull out. I unwrap my Jell-O-like legs from around him and place them on the floor. He holds onto me at my waist while I lean against the wall for support, resting his head against mine. The water is cascading over us while he helps me to steady myself against him. I feel nothing but utter love and devotion from Aiden, and I adore the way he cares for me. He kisses me softly and backs away, pulling me with him under the water.
“You. Are. Trouble,” he tells me cheekily.
“Hey, you started it.”
Aiden smirks and pulls out the body wash, lathers it up in his hands, and then his fingers are all over me. I smile when he reaches my pussy. Aiden gently washes me even though it’s still very sensitive to the touch, and I jolt a little, making him chuckle, then I return the favor and wash him thoroughly.
When we get out of the shower, we’re both a wrinkled mess. We dry ourselves, get dressed, and then make our way to the kitchen for lunch. We head to the sofa to watch a marathon of The Game of Thrones reruns while he massages my feet, and I end up falling asleep on the sofa at his soothing touch.
Eventually, I wake, and Aiden’s still massaging my feet. I’m so lucky to have him in my life after everything we have been through together. I don’t know what I did to deserve him.
