to my ear does crazy things to me. I have enjoyed the evening so far. I haven’t hardly thought of all the black clouds over my head or the fact that I need to be working on me right now.
He moves in closer and runs his finger down my arm and I’m done. I want to feel him touch me like that all over my body, but of course I won’t. But I could stand to just spend more time with him and keep my mind preoccupied longer. I’m not going to lie, it’s been nice not thinking tonight.
“Aid, you want me to drive you two out there?” His eyes stare into me and I finally nod my head slightly, giving him the approval he’s been pushing for.
“Yeah, stop and get us some food on our way.” He smiles at me and opens the front passenger door, letting one of the girls out and motioning me to enter.
“You sure are full of demands tonight.” His sister continues talking to him as I climb into her giant truck.
“You know I’ve done this shit for you and your friends more times than I can count.” He leans over me to talk to her. I’m pretty sure that was intentional because I can still feel the heat of where his hand was on my thigh.
“I know you have, I’m just kidding. Get in and get over yourself.” I like this girl. I hear him open the door behind me and then slam it closed before he gets in. My door flies open before I have a chance to realize what he’s doing.
“Scoot, I’m not sitting back there with all her shit.” I slide to the center and slide the seat belt on before he gets his in. His legs are against mine and I now know why he did this. Not that I’m going to complain. He lays his arm on the back of the seat behind me and his sister looks at him like he just grew three heads.
“Hi, I’m Macy. My brother is an ass for not introducing us.”
“Macy, this is Brie. Brie, this is Macy.” We both smile and do the whole greeting nod and I now feel guilty that I haven’t corrected him. Shit, that seems so long ago that I said that and now would be a terrible time to tell him I lied to him the very first time my mouth opened. It’s not like I’ll ever see him again. I know what I have to do to get over Luke and move forward. Staying at his friend’s cabin isn’t going to do the trick.
“Aiden. You alright tonight?” She starts to roll forward and I begin to feel the true awkwardness of this situation. She knows he’s taking me home and it probably looks exactly like it is. He’s hoping for more. I’m not sure what I’m hoping for, but I know I’m hoping for a carefree night.
“Doin great! But I could take a damn burger. Rosie’s was packed and I didn’t have time to order.”
“Alright. I’ll pull into a drive thru and then I’ll take you to the house.”
Chapter Three
AIDEN
There’s something about his girl. I saw her the second I entered that bar and shit was she a sight for my sore eyes. I needed a night like we’ve had. These past few weeks have been hell and I don’t want to think about the fuck up we had today. Holden is going to be pissed, but it’s part of the job when we’re trying to expand like we have been. These guys need to be trained and that’ll take time. He’s been texting me all night telling me to go to the cabin to check on his friend, but she’s going to have to wait.
I’m sure I’d come off like an asshole if I went there now anyway. I’m feeling this girl and walking away right now would leave me pissed off. It’s been a long time since I’ve instantly connected with someone that I want to push it further with so quickly. I generally take my time when it comes to sex, hell tonight I need this and I hope it goes there sooner rather than later.
“So Brie, where are you from?” My sister starts to quiz the girl she’s never seen before. Her stares went straight through me when she saw who I was taking to the house. I said a friend. I
