For once she thought she couldn't find any. The snug red dress clung to her curves reaching just below her knees. The color and style of the dress accentuated her features and her long dark brown hair flowed to the middle of her back giving her a classy sex appeal. "Wow, I think I actually might look...good," she murmured to herself. "I would have to agree. Although I think 'good' might be an understatement." Lilian jumped at the sound of another voice, slightly embarrassed for being caught talking to herself. One of her best friends, Alexandra, stood in the doorway with a smug look on her face. "I knew I picked the right dress for you. You look amazing. And where is Willow?! She was supposed to be here before me!" Lilian gave Alex a look. Willow was her other best friend. She was sincere, reliable, honest...and always late. "Since when is Willow on time?" she laughed. Alex gave an irritable sigh and sat on Lili's bed. "Well, she better hurry! I'd rather not be late for this party. I really don't feel like having all of our parents freaking out again." Lili, Alex and Willow grew up together in the classic rich kid suburban neighborhood. They became quick friends with each other because they had one major thing in common. They wanted to be normal. Every year, their parents had 'formal social gatherings' where they served their special (and incredibly rich) guests to give the impression of perfect families with obedient daughters. When, in reality, Lili's mother was never home. She was usually on the family yacht with her closest friends, just to get away and talk about how hard life was for a suburban housewife. And her father...well, he was usually drunk and reclusive most of the day and rarely came out except to yell at anyone within hearing distance to do his laundry. Life was more or less the same for her best friends. And tonight just so happened to be one of the infamous Donovan social gatherings at the casino/hotel they owned. "Funny how I'm a servant at my own family's party," Lili said darkly. Alex gave a small laugh. "And don't forget how you're basically being forced to marry whatshisface," Alex said. Lili squinted her eyes in annoyance at her best friend. "His name is Dave! And...ok, yes, I'm being forced. At least he's nice enough...right?" "Sure, he's nice enough. And boring with no personality. But hey, who am I to judge? Maybe he's got a big dick or something. You should find out tonight, actually," Alex said, only half-joking. "Alex!" Lili gave an exasperated sigh. "I hate it when you're right. Maybe I should find out though," Lili joked. Suddenly, Willow barged in the door looking winded. "Find out about what?" she asked curiously. "Jesus, did you run a marathon or something?" "No, damn it. I had to park down the street...and I was late so....I ran to the house...and your stairs killed me, Lili..." Willow said, breathing in between sentences. Lili and Alex laughed. "We all need to hit the gym or something, 'cause that's just sad," Lili said, laughing. "Hey, fuck you! I was running fast," Willow exclaimed. "Well, let's go damn it! We're gonna be late!" Alex said impatiently. "OK OK!" Willow followed them out of the room. "And hey, find out about what?! You never answered." Lili gave a wave of her hand, as if to forget about it. "Oh nothing. Just to find out how big Dave's dick was." Willow stopped on the stairs behind them for a second, then burst out laughing. "Are you kidding? I've seen him with a boner at my family's party last year. Believe me, nothing special." Alex raised her eyebrows. "Well that sucks for you Lili," she said trying not to laugh. Lili just looked irritated. "Come on, we're gonna be late." ---------------------------------------- Aidan O' Neil straightened his tie as his fiance came into the room. He hated these parties, and the Donovans didn't mean anything to him. Who were they again? He looked at his fiance, Olivia. She seemed excited. "I can't believe how many people are going to be there! Let alone that I'm going to a Donovan party!" she exclaimed. Olivia was a bit younger than him at about 20, and still a bit naive. She was sweet, and pretty sexy, but GOD, what an airhead. Aidan was turned off by idiots. But she was good company sometimes and not bad in bed either. "Who cares about that?" he asked. "Don't you know?!" she gasped. "The Donovans own that huge casino/hotel...thing downtown. The place is amazing!" Aidan's eyebrows lifted and he grunted a little as realization dawned on him. He remembered now, he met the family a while back when he was young. He didn't care then and he didn't care now. He just wanted to do his own thing. But he vaguely remembered a cute little girl.... "Helllooooo?" Olivia waved a hand in front of his face. He looked at her in surprise as he was drawn from his thoughts. "Hmm?" "I said, are you ready to go?" "Oh...yeah," he sighed. "Lets go." ------------------------------------------------- Lili yawned as she served guests with the classical music floating in the background. An old woman frowned at her, as she took the food. "It's very impolite to yawn in front of people without trying to cover your mouth," she snapped. Lili just frowned at her, unaffected. Before she could say anything, Willow took her arm and whisked her away to the kitchen. "Oh my lord. Ok, I know this party sucks ass, but THE sexiest man alive just walked through the door." "What? There's no such thing as sexy men at these gatherings of idiots." Willow scoffed. "See for yourself." And she pointed out the small window from the kitchen towards a table to the left. "The tall one." Lili leaned forward a little to get a good look and her eyes got wide when she saw him. He was sitting next to a petite young blonde who looked utterly bewildered. He was definately tall, Lili thought, at least 6'6" with jet black hair, light olive skin and piercing green eyes. Underneath the suit, his body seemed lean and muscular and the way he carried himself reminded Lili of a Greek god she had seen in a book. "Damn," she breathed. "Why can't I be forced to marry him?" Willow laughed. "Well I asked around after I saw him and one of the other servers, Maria, says his name is Aidan O'Neil. The blonde sitting next to him who looks like she's 12, is his fiance, Olivia. Turns out her family isn't very rich and saw this opportunity as an in to the 'wealthy crowd' and they arranged for her to marry Aidan. He's the son of Shawn O'Neil, actor turned entrepreneur and now owns a multimillion dollar business. Something with electronics. Apparently that all goes to Aidan when his dad bites the dust." "Hmm. Well there has to be something wrong with him. He can't be perfect. He must be an asshole or something equally as disappointing." "Yes...maybe he's an illiterate idiot?" Her friend joked. "Or better yet, gay?" ------------------------------------------------- He had been watching her from afar all evening as she moved from table to table, smiling politely and chatting with some of the guests. From where he was sitting, Aidan thought she was an exquisite creature. The way she moved and unconsciously swung her hips drew his gaze like a moth to a flame. He was itching to see her up close. He watched as two other girls came up to her and began talking rapidly. She nodded and the three headed out the back door. He frowned in disappointment, hoping she wasn't leaving. ------------------------------------------------- Break time all too slowly for Lili and her friends. They sat outside together with Willow smoking a cigarette, blowing the smoke into the starless sky. Lili frowned to herself, still thinking of Aidan. Alex sighed. "Dear God, that man is sexy." Lili looked at her in surprise. "You saw him too then huh?" "Saw him? I nearly drooled on him when I served his table. Though of course he barely gave me a second glance. Maybe he really does love that stupid fiance of his," Alex declared. "Yeah right," Willow chimed in, scoffing. "He's bored as hell and he hasn't even looked at her twice either. Believe me, he's been forced into that engagement, just as Lili has." Alex raised her eyebrows. "You seem to know a lot about him already..." Alex said, smiling. Willow glanced at Lili as she answered. "Well I asked around 'cause I wanted to know! Plus, I think he would like Lili...." Lili jerked her head around at the mention of her name. "Oh no you don't! What are you planning in that head of yours?" Willow smiled sheepishly. "Nothing! Well, sort of. Think about it! Both of you are in marriages that you hate! And - " "I don't hate it!" Her friends looked at her incredulously. "I don't!" she repeated, stubbornly. "Oh please, Lil. Don't kid yourself. You know you'll be bored to tears married to Dave and the sex will be horrible." Lili's shoulders slumped as she admitted defeat. She knew they were right. Suddenly, she was crying. "I hate this!" She burst. "I hate my parents, I hate this life! Everyone thinks I'm some spoiled rich kid who gets whatever they want! Well, I don't! I drive a freakin '92 Honda that I bought with my own money from working my ass off and I'm paying for my own damn self to go to college! I don't see a dime of money from my parents! I'm a normal girl trapped in this stupid rich world to be a slave to them and their friends! I'm tired of it," she sobbed. "I can't even remember the last time they told me that they loved me." Alex put her arm around her sobbing friend, anger, resentment and sadness filling her heart. "I can't remember either," Willow said quietly. "My mother called me a whore last week because I'm not married yet. She thinks I must be sleeping around because I haven't snagged a rich man yet." The door burst open at that moment, startling all three girls. Lilian's mother glared at them. If she noticed Lili's tears, she gave no sign. "You three need to get your asses inside! Break time's been long enough!" With that, she spun on her heel and entered the party to mingle with her guests. The girls got up slowly, brushing off any dirt, and plastered on some smiles before they went through the doors. "Lili!" her mother hissed as soon as they walked in. "Go serve table nine. The O'Neil family is here and they're very important guests this evening," he mother said joyfully with a sparkle in her eye, which Lili knew only meant more money for her mother. She swallowed nervously as her mother wandered away, and Lili turned her attention toward table nine. ------------------------------------------------- Aidan sat half-heartedly drinking his beverage, disinterested with his surroundings. His parents had him running around in so many circles these days, he had no time for anything else. Olivia dogged him wherever he went and it was wearing on him. He missed his friends, he missed his band...and for the love of God, he missed college. At college he was just a regular guy trying to have a good time while getting a degree. But then his parents decided he should get married instead. He was 25 now, and the clock is ticking as his mother would say. Plus, it would make the family look better. "Can I interest anyone in some hor d'ouvres?" Aidan's head snapped up at the sound of the voice. It was her. And he decided that he had never seen a more beautiful woman in his life. He was slightly dumbfounded as he openly stared at this girls curvaceous body. Her full breasts were seductively well hidden with a small amount of cleavage, and her perfect ass and long legs were begging to be touched. He felt his cock beginning to grow and he was suddenly very thankful for being covered by the table. She turned her head towards him with her long hair swishing behind it and he found himself looking into beautiful blue hazel eyes. The sparks of attraction between them were so obvious, he thought he could hear them. He suddenly realized that everyone was looking at him strangely. Especially Olivia. No doubt she had noticed... ------------------------------------------------- What the hell is going on here? Olivia thought. He's staring at her like a fuckin drooling high school boy! It was bad enough that Olivia forced herself to play stupid and have her family pretend to be broke so they could get Aidan and his family where they wanted them, but she wasn't working so damn hard to just have it all go downhill from here because of this stupid serving maid bitch. She saw the way she looked at Aidan too. She wasn't stupid. Well, I'll just crush any thoughts she had about him right now, she thought to herself. "Are you just gonna stand there like a stupid ass staring at MY fiance or are you gonna serve us you bitch?" Olivia spat. Aidan's mouth dropped open. Where did that come from?! he thought. He saw the girls face immediately form lines of intense anger. Uh oh. Olivia looked incredibly smug as did the others at the table, excluding his father, who looked slightly taken aback. Still, no one said anything. "Oh excuse me, I'm very sorry about that miss" Lili said, feigning her apology. "Yes, well you should be! It was incredibly rude," Oilivia snarled snobbishly. Lili felt her anger rising higher. "My apologies again miss." "Just get on with it bitch!" Lili's anger was at a boiling point. "Right away." And she turned the tray on it's side, dumping the contents onto the lap of an extremely surprised and furious Olivia among the gasps of the surrounding guests. "You stupid BITCH! Do you know how much this dress cost me?!" "No, I don't know. Nor do I care. Fuck you." And with that, Lili turned on her heel and stalked off to the kitchen. ------------------------------------------------- Aidan could not believe what happened. First off all, where did Olivia get a bitchy side like that?! She was worse than his mother! And that amazingly sexy creature....wow. He was actually glad she stood up for herself. She had a fiery side, that much he could tell. He was in too much shock to say much at the time, and he felt a little guilty for not stopping Olivia. He quietly slipped outside to get some air. To get away from Olivia and all of the irritating guests. I let my parents control my life and look where it gets me, he thought angrily. I wish I had finished college. I wish I wasn't marrying Olivia. I wish...arggg. I need a cigarette. He heard the door open to his left, and sighed inwardly. Most likely Olivia coming to find him. He was pleasantly surprised to see the sexy serving girl walk outside. She didn't notice him at first, she seemed too involved in her thoughts. "Shit!" she said. "Shit, shit, shit." He couldn't think of anything good to say. "Um, hi." He tried to sound casual. She jumped and turned to look at him. Her eyes got wide when she realized who it was. "Oh damn it! Look I -- ." He stopped her by putting his hand up. "Don't even worry about it. I was actually kinda glad you did it. Truth is, she's never acted that way before." "Which way exactly?" "Rude, bitchy... insanely jealous." She looked at him strangely. "Jealous? She just seemed pissed off that I was staring at you." "So you were staring at me?" he teased. "Of course I was. My friend and I agreed that you were the sexiest guy we had ever seen before I went out there," she blurted before she could stop herself. She blushed a little at her words. He suddenly wanted to kiss her very badly at that moment. "So what is your name?" he asked. He was very curious now. She hesitated a moment before answering. "Lilian." He smiled and repeated it. "Lilian....It's a beautiful name for someone like you." Surprised at himself, he stood staring at her unable to move, waiting for a reaction. He found himself imagining running his hands over her naked body, making him want her even more. He just knew her skin would be soft and warm. She was tall, her long legs seeming to reach for a mile before they met at her graciously curvy hips. And the ever so sexy dip in her back was making his mouth water. He was thankful for the dark of night, because his erection was straining painfully against his pants. When was the last time he'd had this strong of a reaction to a woman simply by standing next to her? Never, he decided. As if reading his thoughts, or perhaps just seeing the bulge in his pants, she smiled slightly. He shivered a little as he stared at her mouth. "And who exactly is someone like me?" she asked quietly, stepping a little closer. He turned his head and found her body inches from his and suddenly he was the nervous one. She moved closer still. He could smell her perfume, mixed with a natural womanly scent, intoxicating him. But he found the nerve to speak even though their faces were so very close. Why was she making him so nervous? Women never did this to him. He usually had the control. Even though he knew he shouldn't have...he answered her anyways."Someone like you is...beautiful, strong...sexy and intelligent..." he said slowly trailing off. It was insane to do, but he ran his hands over her skin, from her wrists to her bare shoulders, watching the slow journey his hands made. "Soft..." he whispered huskily. He looked back up into her face. Their mouths were hovering so near each others. The temptation to press his lips to hers and taste that amazing mouth was overwhelming. Desire surged through him like a lightning bolt. "And...?" she asked. She wanted to hear more. She liked his reaction to her. She'd never had this effect on men before. Had she? She didn't think so. She couldn't really remember right now standing so close to him. She really wanted him to kiss her. God, he wanted to. But reason overcame desire. After all, he was technically engaged, and like it or not, he was faithful. He put his hands on either side of her face instead and pulled back slightly. He didn't miss the look of disappointment on her face. "And...you're so very unattainable and forbidden right now," he breathed. He sounded so bitter...and so sad. She sighed a little. She recognized his tone and sympathized with it. She thought she knew where it was coming from. She slowly began to pull back, seeing frustration and desire on his face. His breathing was slightly erratic and his hands were fisted at his sides to prevent himself from pulling her back. "Well, I should get back to the lame party. My parents will be hunting me down by now asking why I dumped food on an important guest of theirs," she said, starting to walk away. The realization of what her words meant hit him like a ton of bricks. "Wait! Lilian...Jesus...Lilian Donovan? Your family owns this place?" he asked weakly. "Yeah...I'll never be able to forget that," she said with a mixture of anger and sadness. And then she was gone through the door, disappearing back into the party. He stood in shock. "Lilian Donovan?!" he said again. I almost kissed her, he thought to himself. Great, she's unattainable, forbidden, AND out of my league. He felt like yelling. Could it get any worse? Choices and Consequences Ch. 01 The story is long but I opted to bring it down in bits. So more are yet to follow there after. It is not hardcore and doesn't contain vulgar language. it is soft and please be contented with the way it is. That morning her husband went off on a business trip to Tanzania. Helen slothfully woke up as she was alone. She slept naked, and when she got out of bed, she pulled herself and moved towards the window. It was about 10 o' clock in the morning. The scenery through the balcony window was superb. The estate was still waking up to life sluggishly. The cool morning breeze hit her beautiful face and made her feel fresh. She sat gazing outside for a while as she disappeared into deep thought. Suddenly something attracted her attention. Beyond the gate, a lady in her early twenties was strolling. She was about six months pregnant and was due soon. Beside her was a man slightly older than her. Judging by the way they were walking, holding and tickling one another, one could easily tell it was her husband. Or any man out to take advantage of the absence of her husband. In either way, they looked perfect. "Mmmhh... I really cherish that day that I'll have my womb swollen." She spread her hands caressingly on her naked belly imagining herself in that similar condition. It was now five years in marriage but nothing to celebrate. She had wanted to become pregnant but her 'ever on business-trip' husband gave her no attention. The only thing was to open her boutique in the city along Moi Avenue. He had continued to display pretty much complete disinterest in sex with her, which is par for the course. But since that was how it'd been forever, she fairly resigned. Despite the continuing lack of sex together, they'd been getting along very well. "I guess I'll just look forward to the rare occasions when I get to have connected and passionate sex with a friend or any satisfying man, instead of beating myself up about the fact that my husband doesn't seem..." Her flowing thoughts were interrupted by the couple kissing passionately. Suddenly the man took off and the lady followed on, running and yelling after him. It was sexy and romantic. She missed these moments. If only her husband could give her some attention. She would be complete. She cursed the day they tied the knot. After a while, she caught her reflection in the mirror next to the door. The house was quiet as she was alone after her husband's departure that early morning. Normally, she never spent too much time looking at herself in mirrors, but this morning, since she had some privacy, she paused and looked at her nude body. It was strange because usually when she looked at herself, she was feeling decisive and just seeing her individual flaws. But that day she didn't do that at all. She just stood there and saw the whole of herself and felt content. Honestly she was far from what anyone would call perfect, but that was okay and she felt beautiful for the first time in a long time. It all affected her whole day-made her sort of day dreamy and even a bit aroused. She pulled her boobs up and looked at them again. They were perfect. She felt a sensational feeling move from her toe to her head. She rubbed her palm on them and felt very aroused. Before she realized it, she was in the bathtub pleasuring herself, something she rarely did during the day. She got out, wiped herself and dressed. She felt a strong urge for satisfaction to her sexual needs. One thing that disturbed her was how she would get one. "Dave... Yes Dave." She said to herself. Dave was a married man, with a two year old daughter, who lived in the adjacent house next door. They had been great family friends and shared most time together. Though nothing intimate had taken place between them, she was extremely swept off her feet by the sight of him. She had fantasized many times having some hot romance and sex with him. It wasn't that easy as Maria, Dave's wife, was her close friend. She never wanted to do anything stupid that could break her relationship with Maria. In any case she would as well get wild should she realize her best friend was flirting with her hubby. 'Ding dong..!' went the door bell. "Come in. The door is not locked." came the voice of Maria. Maria's voice brought disappointment to Helen who hoped to find Dave alone and straight away express her feelings once and for all. She had noted few glances Dave threw her at several moments they were together. This encouraged her and she knew he won't deny her passionate hug she had planned to instantly give him once the door was opened. Someone had to make a step. The adrenaline running up and down her body could make her go nuts if not careful. But now, Maria was here. Helen stepped in to find Maria and Dave seated on the couch. They had sat facing each other. Maria was in a tank top and tight shorts while Dave wore faded blue jeans and white vest that revealed his biceps and masculine chest. His chest was swollen and this made Helen wet. His wife was teaching him how to knit. Watching a man knit is weirdly sexy. She kind of wanted to fling the yarn and needles on the carpet and sit on his lap, but Maria wouldn't have approved so she impeded herself. "Hallow Helen," said Maria bringing her back to reality. "Hi guys, you look wonderful. Look at that. Dave I see you can spoil a woman hehe..." replied Helen. They all smiled as Maria pulled Dave close to her, embracing and giving him a light kiss on the cheek. This made jealousy and anger sink deep in her. She smiled trying very hard not to sell herself out. "Actually Dave, my TV is giving me trouble. I was wondering if you can help me fix it." stated Helen. After talking and sharing light moments for a while, Dave promised to check it out after some time. Helen left in company of Maria who saw her off. After about an hour, Dave was at Helen's house. The door was open when he entered to find her lying on the seat. After a small chat, she showed him where the 'problem' was. Dave immediately got down to work. She stood beside him as he did the TV. Helen's attention was drawn to him as she watched his hands at work. She wondered what it would be like to feel those masculine hands caressing her. She was not the only one staring. Dave's eyes were exploring her body from head to toe. Her silky, long, dark hair was tied up in a high-flip plait with strands hanging behind each ear. Her exposed ears were decorated with simple earrings. The hem of her pink dress was short and exposed the entire length of her slender legs from the top of her ankle to nearly the base of her bottom! Their eyes locked and stayed for sometime before Helen blushed. Sharp electric charges moved up and down her body as Dave heaved a deep sigh. He continued fumbling with the aerial paying little attention to it. Helen left for the kitchen and came back with two glasses of juice. As she bent over onto the table in front of Dave, she deliberately exposed part of her boobs under her white silky bra. She took some time putting the glass on the table ensuring Dave had a clear view of her. Her Small, but very well-developed breasts were providing enough cleavage to arouse a man's lustful imaginations. "Good, we are done." Dave said after he had fixed the aerial jack onto the TV set. He sank back into the couch next to Helen. He took the remote control from the table, and blankly started changing the channels. Stealing glances by the corner of his eyes, he was met by what made his heart beat as beads of sweat formed in his armpits. Helen had curled one of her legs on the couch and sat on it. She had slightly pulled her pink dress baring her chocolate inner thighs to him. Helen knew well he was peeking at her and began to enjoy every moment of it. She noted a continuous bulge in his trousers though Dave kept trying to conceal it. "This is going to be much easier than I thought." She said to herself. So she did her best. "Ouch! Something bit me..." she screamed all of a sudden. Dave swiftly turned to her with a worried look. She didn't look bitten though. She gave him a seductive look and her eyes redden. Biting up her bottom lip, she touched the top of her thighs and ran a soft gentle line to her knees. Her hands circled back down between her thighs pushing the soft dress up. She was sure her white panties were now peering out. She held him and kissed him on the lips, catching him off guard. Dave returned the kiss and soon they were carried away. Pulling off from her, "I don't think this is right Hel..." "Shhhh!" hissed Helen as she put her fingers on his lips. "Don't I look beautiful?" asked Helen. "Of course yo..." She cut him short burying her lips in his mouth. Although Dave played innocent, this is what he had been dreaming of. He had grown some serious feelings towards her and prayed for that day this experience would come to pass. James was his best friend and he never at any time, wished to cross him. Since James and Helen occupied the house next to their compound, they became best of friends and shared a lot, both personal and marriage life. James had even told him about his sexual life with Helen. One time James told him to be the spy and ensure his wife remained safe as he went for his trips. Now this would turn a betrayal of the highest order. Something told him to ignore the thought and do what he was, opportunist. After all, what's the harm tasting what your best friend owns. A friend in need of course is indeed. Since it won't be written in me, what's the harm trying it out? He pushed his hands under her arms and kissed her hard. His body was aching with lust. He unexpectedly wanted her immeasurably. She released herself and sat up slightly. She pulled off her dress exposing her white silk and lacy bra to him. The dress slid from her hand to the seat next to her. His eagerness for her to expose all he had been fantasizing about showed on his face. He just sat there, quiet, anxious and expectant. He couldn't utter a syllable and remained mum as words suddenly lost him. She took up the material of his shirt at his shoulders and moaned, "Dave," Dave had been waiting to hear her voice, for her to say something. This moment was going to replay in his mind for a long time. "Make love to me." Reaching up behind her, she unclasped her bra. He gazed with a heavy stare as she slipped her arms out and let it glide from her hand to the floor. "Helen!" exclaimed James when he suddenly entered the sitting room dropping down his briefcase. Choices and Consequences Ch. 02 A few days after the incident at her parent's party, Lili found herself getting ready to go out again. This time it was a small dinner with the O'Neils. Her mother had forced it upon her, demanding that she apologize to the family, especially Ms. Olivia Braxton. Lili frowned at the thought of apologizing to her. Aidan's bride to be was far from polite, and Lili suspected she didn't have a forgiving bone in her body. Yet, the worst part of it all was having to do it in front of Aidan...and Dave. Her mother, Kathleen was insistent upon bringing Dave and once again she got her wish. Dave was not thrilled with the fact of having dinner with the O'Neils but he had finally given in. She heard a car pull up and looked out her bedroom window. Dave stepped out, a frown lining his boyish face giving him the look of a pouty 12 year old. He wasn't unattractive, but that's exactly what he looked like. A boy. And he wasn't nearly as attractive as Aidan. She frowned at that thought, pushing it away. A knock at the door shook her from her thoughts. She made her way down the stairs, mentally preparing herself for the night ahead. She opened the door, and Dave smiled grimly. "Hello dear," he said flatly. He leaned in and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Ready?" "Yes, let's get this over with." He rolled his eyes at her response and Lili suddenly realized that her friends were probably right. Dave didn't seem to love her at all. And she knew she didn't love him. They would have a passionless, boring marriage always under the watchful eye of her parents. But why was he marrying her? Furthermore, why was Aidan marrying Olivia? Lili suddenly became nervous at the thought of sitting across the table from Aidan for hours. Olivia would surely be staring her down the whole night. But she really had no idea how this night would go. ---- Aidan waited impatiently for Lili to show up, drumming his fingers on the table. He wanted to see her again, but not for the same reasons as the rest of his family. He wanted to talk to her, get to know her, then do things to her that he shouldn't be thinking about at a dinner table....He certainly didn't want her humiliated in front of everyone by apologizing to someone who got what they deserved. He looked at Olivia who seemed equally as impatient, watching the doors and checking the time. She had changed since that night. Her sweet, naive side had vanished and now she was one hell of a high-maintenance bitch. She had become aggressive and borderline psychotic it seemed. She threw herself at him every time they were alone and tried dominating him in bed. That didn't go over so well. Needless to say, he was turned off. Finally, he saw Lili come through the door with whom he assumed was her fiance. Aidan raised his eyebrows at the pair. Lili looked incredibly beautiful, with her hair neatly pulled back, her curve-hugging black dress pants, red blouse, and oh God - matching red high heels. Aidan almost began to drool at the sight of her. But she was engaged to a boy. He didn't look a day over 19, and the idiot didn't even realize how hot his fiance was. As they approached the table, he noticed Olivia smile and stare directly at Lili. To his surprise Lili stared right back, but didn't smile. And then he had a feeling that it was going to be a long, long night. They seated themselves at the table as everyone exchanged stiff polite hellos. Lili's parents looked nervously at her, as if waiting for her to make them look bad again. But Lili kept her composure, and she seemed to refuse to look at him. But even as they ordered their food, he kept looking at her. He couldn't help it, she was exquisite. He could tell she was getting nervous, but he wanted her to look at him. He needed to know if she really felt the same strong attraction as he did. She had her head turned to the side slightly but he could still see her eyes darting around the room. Finally her eyes landed on him. He thought he could feel the heat in her gaze, and a strong wave of desire washed over him. Then she looked away, looking a bit red in the face. The dinner was running smoothly enough. Polite conversation about politics and her parent's latest vacation reached Lili's ears, but no mention of an apology was made. Did everyone forget? She thought the whole night to be very strange. She glanced at Aidan who was resting his head in his hand. He met her gaze and smiled. She smiled back a little and looked at Olivia next to him. Olivia was staring at her coldly. "Are you ever going to apologize to me for ruining my dress?!" Olivia said, loudly enough for everyone at the table to hear. It became deathly silent as everyone turned to look between the two girls. Lili thought she might've heard a pin drop somewhere. Or maybe a leaky water faucet. "I was going to wait to speak to you privately, Olivia," Lili said evenly. Her heart was pounding. "Well, I would prefer you did it now. After all, you did ruin an expensive dress of mine you bitch," Olivia said, smiling. She loved moments like these! Lili clenched her teeth trying to hold back her anger. Her mother didn't hesitate. "Of course Lili is extremely apologetic! Aren't you, Lili?" Her mother gave her a dangerous glare. Lili was furious that her mother simply ignored the fact of her being called a bitch. Maybe she agrees, she thought bitterly. "In fact," Olivia began, "I've thought of a way that you can make up for being such a whore!" she feigned excitement, as if speaking to a child. Aidan turned to look at Olivia with wide eyes. "Olivia. Seriously. Enough's enough," he said. He felt his own anger rising as Olivia just gave him a nasty look. There was no stopping her now, she was in her element. "That idea is," she continued, "that you simply buy me a better dress. A few thousand dollars won't make a difference in your bank account," she stated as if it were the most reasonable idea in the world. Lili's mother clapped her hands. "What a wonderful idea! Lili will buy you one as soon as possible! Better yet, make it two dresses!" she exclaimed. Olivia smiled smugly. Lili was visibly shaking and said nothing at first. She closed her eyes for a moment and Aidan held his breath waiting for her reply. "No." "Excuse me?" her mother and Olivia said simultaneously. Lili looked at both of them. "You heard me. I said no. I'm not buying you a dress. And I'm NEVER going to apologize to you," she stated calmly as she stood up to leave. Dave looked pale and embarrassed and Aidan thought Mrs. Donovan might faint. "You are a selfish, spoiled, psychotic bitch. Not to mention, you're an attention whore," Lili continued. Then in her rage, she looked at Aidan's parents and asked, "Why in the HELL would you ever want your son to marry that?" She shook her head and left the table, leaving everyone speechless. A few moments of awkward silence later, Aidan excused himself from the table. He wanted to find Lili but wasn't even sure if she was still here. His blood was on fire, watching her stand up...so angry, with her flushed cheeks and fire in her eyes. She was sexy when she was angry, so he assumed the saying was true. Because he was incredibly turned on. He found her sitting on a bus stop bench at the end of the street. She had her legs and arms crossed and was staring absently down the street. She was still angry, he realized. He took a deep breath and sat down next to her. When she turned her head, she didn't even seem surprised to see him. He cleared his throat nervously. "Hey...you alright?" He felt like an idiot. Lili sighed loudly. "Yeah, I'm fine. But I'm really gona pay for that. Your horrid bitch of a fiance will make sure of that. Her and my mother will get together and plot something, I'm sure of it." "You really think so?" She looked at him sheepishly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to talk about your fiance like that. I'm sure you guys are really happy together. But yeah - " She stopped when he started laughing. "What's so funny?" she demanded. "Hmm...um, I wouldn't say I was happy. I'm with her because my parents said so. They made me drop out of college and everything." He looked solemn now. "At least they're still having you go to college." "HA, I'm only going because I'm paying for it because I have a job and I'm getting financial aid," she said irritably. He looked at her with surprise. "Yes, shocking I know." Just then the bus pulled up and the doors slid open. Lili got up to board, turning around to say goodbye, but Aidan jumped up and waved the bus driver off. Lili frowned as the doors shut and the bus pulled slowly away. "What did you do that for?! That was my ride home!" Aidan smiled. "'Cause I'm giving you a ride home instead. I wouldn't let you take the bus," he said, leading the way to his car. "But aren't they expecting you back inside?" "They can wait. Come on, it's over here." He opened the passenger door to his '69 Camaro, and motioned for her to get in. As he revved the engine and pulled out of the parking lot, Lili found herself wondering what it would be like to fuck him in this Camaro. Maybe in a parking lot of a classy restaurant such as this. She smirked at the idea of her parents friends seeing her in the act. "Nice Camaro you have here," she said cautiously. She didn't really know what to talk about. He looked over at her and grinned. "Thanks, my dad and I rebuilt it together. When you meet my dad, you'll notice he's very laid back like me, but my mom's got him on a short leash," he laughed. Lili noticed he had said 'when' as if she were to be having lunch with his family tomorrow, but she said nothing about it. She asked him to take her to her friend's house, and the rest of the way they talked comfortably like old friends. Suddenly they were in front of her friend Willow's house and Aidan felt disappointed. "Well, thanks for the ride home. Not such a bad ending to a shitty night," she joked. He had his head turned away slightly, so Lili leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek. But Aidan turned his head to face her, when she was a mere inches away and they suddenly found themselves too close for people otherwise engaged. Lili caught her breath as they just stared at each other for a second. Still, neither made a move. Aidan felt his breathing quicken as his eyes looked down at her lips. He wanted to be faithful...he really did. But, oh what's the point?! Without thinking any more, he closed the distance between them and pressed his lips to hers. It was tentative at first, giving her the chance to pull away and slap him but she did no such thing. She froze for a moment, but then began to kiss him back. Her hand moved to the back of his head and her tongue darted out to take the kiss deeper. Aidan groaned and willingly complied, shifting in his seat. As if his sudden movement startled her, she hastily pulled back looking embarrassed. "I-I'm sorry. I should go....Um, thank you again," she stuttered. She opened the car door and began to climb out but Aidan put a hand on her arm. "Lili, wait. I'm not sorry for that," he said huskily. "I wana see you again." Her eyes widened. "Aidan, you know that's not a good idea. We can't just - " "Why not?" he cut her off. "I wana talk to you , and get to know you. We can be friends at least." "I- I don't know...." "Please?" He thought he sounded desperate. Maybe he was! Lili sighed a little. "Alright, when?" He grinned. "How about tomorrow?" "Sure, tomorrow sounds good." She couldn't help but smile. As she got out she couldn't believe that she had just made plans for lunch with Aidan O'Neil. Life was strange. ---- The next day Lili found herself waiting at the local cafe downtown. It felt good to be out in a T-shirt, jeans and flip flops. She hadn't dressed comfortably for a while. Aidan walked through the door just as she was wondering if he was gona be a no show. He spotted her sitting near the corner and made his way through the busy lunch crowd. He too was dressed comfortably, looking as if he came straight from the gym. He wore a sleeveless shirt and basketball shorts, giving him an entirely different look than the night before. "Hello there," he said as sat down across from her. "Did you order yet? I'm starving." She chuckled. "Umm, no. I waited for you." "Oh how nice. You're looking beautiful today, by the way," he replied. It startled her. "Oh. Err...thank you. So....what are we getting?" The conversation flowed easily through the afternoon, both finding they had much in common. He was surprised to find out that she was a football fan and they agreed to go to a game sometime. He then asked about college and she seemed nervous. "Well, college is hard. Getting financial aid was next to impossible because of who my parents are. But once they realized that I was on my own, I got partial aid. I still pay for books and anything extra." "What's your major?" "History." "Really? What do you plan on doing with that? I'm guessing not a teacher." She laughed. "How'd you know? No, I'm planning on working in museums and being a curator. Which is why I have a job interview for the museum down the street. If I get a job there, it'll help me get into graduate school. So it's extremely important to me, and I'm also extremely nervous." "Well, when is it?" "Um, tomorrow." Aidan's eyes widened. "Really? Well that's great! You have nothing to worry about, you'll be fine." "I'm not so sure about that. But we'll see." The afternoon was slowly winding down into evening and they decided to part ways. But not before Aidan asked to hang out again. She agreed and exchanged numbers with him and he told her to call him after the interview. They walked to her car in a comfortable silence. Before she left, Aidan put his hand on her arm and turned her towards him. He put his hands at the base of her neck and planted a soft kiss on her lips, not caring who saw. "Sorry, I know I said I wouldn't but I can't help it," he said quickly. "I'll see you later?" She nodded slowly. "Ok," he replied. And he gave her another kiss on the forehead before leaving. ---- Lili flattened her skirt and blouse nervously as she stood outside the museum. The surrounding buildings seemed impossibly larger than normal, making her feel insignificant. She knew it was just her nerves. Her future, her success, and her dreams were counting on her landing this job. If she were to be hired as an assistant curator, she knew the possibilities were endless after graduate school. She could go anywhere. Lili took a deep breath and walked up the steps to the entrance. She hesitated as she reached for the door handle, contemplating turning around and bolting for the safety of her car, but she knew what she had to do. She opened the door and slowly stepped inside. The front lobby area was relatively quiet, with a hushed group of young students being given a tour. Other than that, Lili could see no one. "Can I help you?" Lili jumped at the sound of the voice. A woman was sitting at the reception desk to her left, looking at her curiously. She hadn't even noticed the woman when she walked in. "Um, yes. I'm here for a 1 o'clock interview...?" A look of understanding passed over the woman's face. "Ahh, you must be Ms. Donovan. Nice to meet you," the woman said, holding out her hand. "Mr. Ashford and his associates are anxious to meet you," she added, smiling. "This way, please." Associates?! How many people are interviewing me? Lili screamed inside her head. The receptionist led her down a long hallway and opened a door to the right. "Mr. Ashford? Lili Donovan is here to see you for her interview." "Ahh! Send her in, send her in!" he exclaimed. Lili thought he sounded...old. And with her heart thudding in her chest, she stepped inside the room smiling, and nearly fainted. Perhaps 12 or more men and women sat around a long oval table, staring at her intently. ---- The days after the interview were going by agonizingly slow. Aidan called her nearly every day to check if she got the job. She wondered how he found the time with Olivia prowling around the house. She reminded Lili of some man-eating tiger. The thought almost made her laugh, but then the phone rang again. Her heart started pounding as she picked it up hastily. "Hello?" "Hello, may I speak to Ms. Donovan please?" The voice sounded professional! Lili almost had a heart attack. "This is her," she managed. "Ah, hello there. It's Mr. Ashford. Well, we promised to call you to let you know our decision either way..." he said, slowly. Lili's heart sank, preparing for the worst. "And I have to say you are definitely not at our standards." She felt like crying! "Oh....ok. Well, I understand..." "Good, I'm glad you do. Because you are exceedingly far above our standards and are more than qualified for this job," he said. She paused. "What?" Was she hearing him right? "Welcome to the team, Ms. Donovan. I hope to see you on Monday," he stated. "Yes, sir. See you then." She hung up the phone, feeling happier than she could ever remember. The first couple weeks of her new job was amazing. Her coworkers and even her bosses were friendly. She was getting extensive training was even put in charge of a few artifacts and documents. Everyone complimented her on her skills. Then her paycheck came in and she was ecstatic. With this kind of money, I can afford my own place, Lili thought to herself. It's now or never. She needed to get away from her parent's world. She was in her 20's! It was time to start making decisions and supporting herself. It was time to grow up. Aidan called her that night. She filled him in on how the job was going and about her plans to move out. He seemed surprised. "Really? That's great. Are you sure though?" "I'm positive. It's time to be on my own and away from them." "But what about Dave?" Silence. She hadn't thought about him. "I don't know," she said finally, sighing. "Well, you don't have to think about that right now. Let me help you find a place and move in." "Oh, you don't have to do that. It's gona be a pain in the ass trying to find a place." "So? Let me help please. It's a good excuse for me to see you again. We haven't hung out in a while." She smiled even though he couldn't see. "Alright I was planning on going today, I saw some new apartments for rent. I'll pick you up?" "Yes, please," he answered. Finding a place wasn't the hard part, it was moving all of her stuff. She spent a lot of time over the next week or so with Aidan as he helped her move in her belongings. He helped her decorate the apartment, even buying her paintings and knick-knacks. He was helping her unpack boxes one afternoon as they chatted. They had been spending a lot of time together over the last month or so, getting to know each other and they had become good friends fairly quickly. "So, how did your parents take it?" Lili rolled her eyes. "They took it exactly as I expected they would. Dad could care less, while Mom flipped out, screaming and yelling. She told me not to expect her to help me with anything anymore. Then when I laughed she threw a glass at me. I told her she's never helped me a day in her life, and I left." Aidan stared for a moment. "...You said that?" "Yeah, why?" "I dono...I didn't expect it I guess. But then again you have an infamous way of standing up to people. Dumping trays of food on them, calling them selfish psycho bitches...you know, the usual," he said, laughing. She glared at him and threw another box to him. "Keep working, slacker." "Fine! I will- oh..." He stopped mid-sentence as he opened the box. He was looking down at a box full of bras and panties. The see-through thong caught his eye. He wondered who had seen her in it. The thought made him a little jealous. Lili looked over at him when he made a strange noise. Choices and Consequences Ch. 02 "What?" "Oh! Uh...nothing," he replied hastily. He closed the box, but not before taking a last peek. He couldn't prevent his face from turning a little pink as she stared at him. She suddenly dropped what she was doing and began walking towards him. His nerves had been on edge these past couple months, and now his heart was starting to pound. Being 'just friends' with Lili was proving to be harder than he expected. And why was she looking at him like that?! She abruptly bent down to the box he had tossed aside and started opening it. She stared at the contents of the box not saying anything for a minute. "Wana see 'em?" His eyes widened a little. "Wha-? What do you mean?" "You know what I mean," she replied, grinning slyly. She picked up the box and walked towards the bathroom. A few moments later, her head popped around the corner. "Are you coming or not?" He didn't move a muscle at first. What was happening? He slowly started walking towards the bathroom not knowing what he would find. He pushed the door open, making it creak. He made a strange strangled sound as he saw her. She wore a simple black lace bra with matching panties that didn't quite cover her ass. Yeah, simple. "Uhhh...oh, God - " was all he managed. He actually shut the door in his attempt to hide his obvious excitement and because he wasn't certain he was supposed to see that. "Aidan, come in here please." He looked down at his growing erection and knew he couldn't hide it. Still, he wasn't stupid enough to refuse her. He opened the door and stepped in quickly, shutting it behind him before he lost his nerve. She just smiled at him. His hard-on was massive now as he looked at her gorgeous body and long dark hair cascading down her back. She looked down and raised her eyebrows, with a smirk on her lips. "Hmm..." She walked towards him until she stood directly in front of him, just as she had when they first met. He was resting his body against the door, with his breathing slightly erratic as he stared at her. She slowly snaked her hand up to wrap around the back of his head and pulled it closer. Their lips were millimeters apart and she looked into his eyes and smiled. Then she kissed him. Softly at first, a mere brushing of lips as she gauged his reaction. Then a little harder and he responded by groaning and taking the kiss deeper still. She opened her mouth to allow his tongue to play with hers. She suddenly grew bold and reached between their bodies, grasping his cock through his pants. He moaned into her mouth and their kissing became fiercely wild as he began moving them towards the bathroom sink. He grabbed her legs and pulled her on the counter easily, breaking the kiss to move down to her neck and shoulders. She purred and moved her head to the side to give him better access. Reaching down, she tugged at his shirt until he allowed her to pull it off of him. He delighted in the feel of her hands on his body, running over his chest, back and shoulders. "I need to see you," he rasped. He reached behind her and unhooked her bra and stood back to let it fall. He admired her for a moment before reaching out and cupping her breasts in his hands. They were perfect. Not too big, not too small...they fit perfectly in his hands. He ran his thumbs over her hard nipples, feeling more aroused than he could ever remember. "Beautiful..." he managed. He pushed her back slightly so she was resting on her hands. Then he lowered his head and took one of her nipples into his mouth, softly sucking, biting and licking. She moaned in ecstasy and let her head fall back as she closed her eyes. "Aidan..." she moaned. Hearing his name only encouraged him more as he turned his attention to her other nipple. She put her hand behind his head, as if to keep him there. She arched her back, then groaned in frustration as he pulled his head away. He looked at her, then kissed her passionately as he reached for the tops of her panties. Lili lifted her lower body to allow him to slide them down her legs. She left her legs parted so he could get a full view of what was to come. He groaned as he slid his hands up her legs and on her belly. Her pussy was glistening with wetness and he could smell her arousal. Aidan was nearly salivating as he slid his hand down her belly and over her pussy lips. When his fingers found her clit, her lower body jerked in response as she moaned loudly. She began moving against his hand and he rubbed it faster, with her moans and whimpers growing louder. He dipped one finger inside, and groaned softly. She was tight. He could only imagine what it would feel like to be inside her. She opened her eyes when he pulled his hand away and then he was kissing her softly, but with passion as well. He slowly pulled away. "I can't stop thinking about you Lili," he confessed as her looked at her. "You've been driving me insane these past couple months." "Aidan..." she said softly, "please make love to me then. I need you to be inside me...." She was breathing heavily and her eyes were glazed with passion and arousal. It was all the invitation he needed as he hastily pulled his pants off, leaving him standing there in his boxers. "Let me take you to the bedroom at least," Aidan said. "No...I need you right now. Please," she pleaded as she wrapped her hand around his cock. He let her rub it through his boxers, closing his eyes with the intense feelings washing over him. He felt her pull his boxers down and grasp it once more, rubbing her fingers over the tip as she softly cupped him with her other hand. "Oh shit," he groaned, as he put his hands on the counter to hold himself steady. She was sliding her hand up, and down, and around his stiff cock, increasing her speed then slowing it down to tease him. He couldn't take much more. With a growl, he pulled her hands away and moved a little closer to the counter. She wrapped her legs around his waist to hold him in place as he grabbed his cock to position it at her entrance. He decided to tease her by rubbing it up and down her slit, lingering on her clit and making her squirm. "Aidan, please..." "Please, what?" he asked huskily. He wanted to hear her say it. Instead, he heard her say, "What was that?" "What was what?" Silence. Then, a rapid knock at the door. "That," Lili said irritably. Aidan groaned in frustration and put his forehead against hers. So close...he didn't even want to think about it. Sighing loudly, Lili wrapped herself in a towel. "Put your clothes on...I'm gona go see who it is," she said. She walked into the front room briskly. She was in a horribly bad mood now. She looked through the small peephole on the front door. "Shit," she said softly. "Lili? Are you there? It's me." "Um..yeah, sorry I just got out of the shower," she answered as she opened the door. "Oh, well it took you long enough. I knocked at least three times." Lili stepped aside as she let Dave, her fiance, walk into her apartment. ------------------------------------ So Chapter 3 will be on the way as soon as possible! But I still feel like something is missing in this story or my writing isn't how it should be. So if you have suggestions or something, please contact me! Of course, voting and comments is always appreciated! Thanks for reading. IrishSmile Choices and Consequences Ch. 03 Lili stood nervously as Dave walked slowly into her apartment. The look on his face could only have been described as disgust as he clasped his hands behind his back. "Sit down if you like," Lili said quickly. Dave glanced at her small couch and raised his eyebrows. "No...that's alright, actually. I won't be here long." "Ok...well -" Dave sighed loudly. "I just came to give you this. Your parents do not exactly wish to see you right now. Or ever," he said, handing her an envelope. "What the hell is this? And what's that supposed to mean?" He rolled his eyes. "Well, maybe you should read it." She glared at him for a few seconds before tearing the envelope open. Scanning it quickly, she discovered what he meant. She found herself staring at her parent's will, which they had obviously revised recently. She had been removed. "They're...disowning me?" she asked quietly. "As close as it can come, yes." "I see you've been added to their will though...." She looked up to see a small, smug smile on his arrogant face. "Well, yes, on one term only though." "Oh? And what's that?" Lili felt her face becoming hot with anger and embarrassment. "That I break up with you. Immediately. You see, if I break up with you now, I get your share of the family profits. Millions, actually. And your parents insisted I deserved someone better than a misbehaving orphan. And I have to agree with them. So..." he smiled cruelly, "I bid you farewell." Lili felt a range of emotion flow through her. She finally settled on anger when a realization dawned on her. "This is the only reason you were ever with me, isn't it?! You were just waiting to get your hands on the money and the family business!" "It's the only reason your parents wanted us together in the first place, you silly child. They planned on willing the business and the money to me the whole time! But now that you've embarrassed them for the last time, we've decided to take you out of the picture completely. Open your eyes, Lilian. They don't love you, and neither do I. And good luck finding someone who does." Lili just stared at him, tears threatening to spill over. "Get out of my apartment. Now." "Gladly. Have a nice life, Lilian, " he replied, giving her a triumphant smile. And he waltzed out of her apartment, and out of her life. Lili slammed the door after him, simply staring at the wall. She sank to the floor, defeated. What if he was right? What if nobody would ever truly love her? The thoughts broke her, and all she could do was cry. -------- Aidan heard the door slam, then waited a few moments. There was silence. He slowly opened the bathroom door, peering around the corner. He saw Lili sitting on the floor near the front door and immediately became concerned. He stepped out into the living room, wearing only his jeans. "Lili?" he asked tentatively. Her head shot up in surprise, and he noticed her tears. "Oh...Aidan, I'm sorry I forgot you were here and I - " she paused as more tears threatened to spill, and she wiped at her eyes quickly. She stood up without looking him in the eye. "Excuse me for just a minute." Aidan caught her arm as she tried to hurry by him, and she simply stopped without turning around. "Lili. Look at me, please." He drew her into a hug as she turned to face him. "What's wrong, beautiful? I don't like seeing you cry, " he said quietly. "This," she said, pushing away from him and handing him the will. "Read it." He grabbed it from her frowning, and it only deepened as he looked it over. "They put Dave in the will, and not you?" he asked incredulously. "Actually, they took me out. They disowned me." Aidan just stared at her for a moment. "What?!" "Well, that's not all either," she added. Aidan felt himself physically shaking with anger as Lili relayed the scene with Dave. He imagined smashing Dave's face to a kitchen counter or some other hard surface. "So, that's it," Lili finished. "I guess I'm an 'orphan' now. But now that I'm thinking and talking about it, the more I think that this is better for me. I've always had a horrible relationship with my parents. And Dave. Now I know why." "Lili, Dave only said those things to upset you on purpose. And there's not a doubt in my mind about you finding someone that really loves you." Because I think I already do, he almost added. "Thank you, Aidan. That means a lot," she smiled. It didn't quite reach her eyes. She hesitated a moment before continuing, "Aidan...as much as I was enjoying what we were doing...I shouldn't have come on to you like that. It's not right and I'm sorry." Aidan's heart sank a little. "Don't be sorry. You've made me realize a lot of things recently...a lot of changes that I need to make in my life. Starting with my parents. I'm 25 years old! I need to take control of my own life now." Lili smiled. "I'm glad to hear that," she said as he made a move towards the door. He suddenly stopped as he reached for the knob. He spun around, and Lili unexpectedly found herself face to face with him. "Aidan, what - " Putting his hands on either side of her face, he cut her off, "Just one more thing before I go." Lili's eyes widened in shock, then closed with pleasure as he captured her lips with his, perhaps for the last time. It was soft at first, but she gave a small moan as he dropped his hands to her hips and drew her closer. He took this as a good sign and took the kiss deeper, exploring her mouth with his tongue. He broke the kiss, groaning reluctantly, and kissed her jawline, moving slowly down to her neck. She stifled a moan when he softly bit her neck, but it did not go unnoticed by Aidan. He sighed softly against her neck. "Lili..." he squeezed her hips tightly, barely controlling his need. "I can't get enough of you. Everytime I'm around you, I always want more." He looked up and into her eyes. "I...I don't know if I can just be your friend...I'm always going to want more." She didn't know what to say. "Look Aidan. I want you, but I can't be with you like this. It's not who I am, and I don't think it's who you are either." He drew away a little at that. "I know. There's still Olivia, and my parents, and my 'resposibilities,' and I don't even know where to start. But I do know that I want you more than anything, that I'm falling for you faster than I thought possible, and that I will eventually have you. I just need to take care of a few things before I can truly deserve you I think." Lili was speechless. An hour ago, she would've laughed if someone had told her that all of this was going to happen. Aidan kissed her forehead, then her lips one last time. "Just don't go anywhere. I'm gona need your help to get all of this done." "I won't," she responded weakly. He gave her a small smile, then shut the door behind him as he left. Lili giggled a little to herself in disbelief. She'd had enough drama in one day. It was strange how physically draining it could be sometimes. But all she had to do was avoid her parents, Dave, and especially Olivia. Forever. Nothing could ever be simple. And it was seriously time to call Willow and Alex. She needed a fucking drink. ---------------- So here it is! Chapter 3 finally! Sorry if it sucks...I've been so damn busy with school and work...blah blah blah the usual excuse. But I just wanted to get something out to you guys, although I know it's short. Hopefully I can get Chapter 4 up soon, if you want it! Leave me comments and feedback! Compliments and criticism are both welcome. Thanks everyone :) IrishSmile Choices and Consequences Ch. 04 One Month Later Aidan sat staring blankly at his computer screen. He had been searching for a new place to live for hours, and he was beginning to get a headache. His parents had no idea of his plans to move, or of his recent employment at the mechanic shop across town. He knew his mother would have a heart attack over that. But Lili had inspired him to make changes in his life. To take on responibilities and to do something he loved for once. He was tired of the same old scenes; the stuffy parties, the fake smiles, the rude comments...all of it. He wanted simple. He wanted to come home, change into a pair of shorts and watch the game without having to worry about the next dinner engagement, or keeping his high maintenance fiance entertained. The last thought gave him a stab of guilt. Although she was definitely annoying, childish and high maintenance, he still felt like an asshole for getting carried away with Lili. He had never done anything like that in his life, but Lili...she set his soul on fire like no other woman had. Or ever would. He wanted her more than ever. He needed her like he needed his next breath. He loved her. He rested his elbows on the desk in front of him and put his head in his hands, and he truly admitted that to himself for the first time. He thought he may have loved her before, but now he knew. But how was he supposed to tell her when they both had so many changes going on in their lives? How was he supposed to tell her that he wanted to come home to her every night, and wake up next to her every morning? How could she not be frightened away when he told her just that? His cell phone ringing broke his train of thought. He picked it up, looking at the caller ID. Olivia. He set it down, ignoring it and went back to his search. He came across a one bedroom for $900 and decided to call the number. It was now or never. He picked up his cell to make the call, and it began ringing in his hand. Olivia. Again. She had this annoying philosophy of blowing up his phone repetitively, thinking he would answer eventually. If I didn't answer the first time, and I didn't call you back, what makes you think I'm going to answer this time?! he thought. He hit ignore and dialed the number for the apartment on the computer screen. An older man picked up on the other end, just as his phone beeped in his ear, indicating a call waiting. God, he hated that. Yes, now was definitely the time. ------------------ Lili sat at her desk at the museum next to one of the head curators, Maria. She was in her mid-40's, calm, quiet and had a great sense of humor. Along with developing an instant friendship, they had also attained a sort of mother-daughter relationship. Lili had taken a liking to her immediately. And today, someone like Maria was exactly what she needed. Maria looked up from her notes at Lili, frowning. "What's the matter with you today? You're quiet and your mind is obviously somewhere else." Lili sighed and recanted yet again the past few weeks and the encounter with Dave. "It's not so much the disowning me that's upsetting, it's the fact that they couldn't even say it to my face. They really must not love me...and they obviously have no respect for me." Maria reached out and put her hand on Lili's. "I'm sorry, dear. Life has a way of cutting out bad relationships or excess baggage sometimes. Look on the bright side, all they would have done is just brought you down, belittled your dreams, and forced you to do what they wanted you to do. Now they're gone, and all the doors are open to you. And you have people like me and your best friends to help you along the way." Lili smiled. "Thanks, Maria." "Besides, I'll bet Dave was a terrible lover." "Maria!" "He was, wasn't he?! I knew it. You can always tell. Men that have no passion for life, never have passion for their women. Lame, moving on! Now about this Aidan fellow..." Lili just laughed. "What about him?" "What do you mean, 'what about him?!' He obviously cares about you! Take the initiative, talk to him, and tell him how you feel." "I don't even know how I feel. And besides, we're both taking care of our issues." "Excuses. You know how you feel, and why can't you be together and help each other deal with issues? There's no reason why you can't be together, and you know it." "Except Olivia." "Oh yes...I forgot about her. OK, well I'll hold her and you punch." Lili burst out laughing as her boss came through the door. "Ms. Donovan? Can I see you in my office please?" She scrambled out of her chair. "Yes, sir." He shut the door behind her as she sat down. He handed her a brochure on the way to his seat. "I called you in here today to give you the opportunity of a lifetime. In that brochure you will find that the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is giving students the chance for a two week internship with some of the best curators in the country. I've already given them your name with the highest regards and they should be contacting you to see if you're interested. If so, you may take one other person with you, all expenses paid." Lili stared at the brochure, speechless. She felt like she was dreaming. Her boss gave her a curious look. "Ms. Donovan? Is this something you would be interested in?" She looked up in amazement and said the first thing that came to mind. "Is this...real?" He laughed aloud. "It's quite real and - oooff!" His words were cut short as Lili had launched herself from her chair to hug him. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is a dream come true, I don't know how to repay you!" "Just impress them, that's enough for me," he laughed. "Oh I will," she replied, practically running out the door to where Maria sat. She showed Maria the brochure, barely containing the urge to dance. Maria smiled broadly. "Congratulations, dear!" "Will you come with me?" Maria laughed, "Oh no, I can't go. I am a single mother after all. I think you should take Aidan." Lili stopped moving. "Maria..." "Don't 'Maria' me, and don't be ridiculous. You know you want to invite him, and you'd have a great time and amazing sex." Lili grinned widely. "You know what, you're right. Why the hell not?" "Of course I'm right. It's about time you learned this. Now go call him. Go!" "Alright!" she laughed. As she left the museum, she felt elated. Happiness and excitement for the future gripped her mind and her heart like it never had before. --------------------- Aidan woke up to the sound of his cell phone vibrating on the table in front of him. Thinking it was Olivia again, he almost chose to ignore it without looking at who it was. He had gone to look at the apartment, and signed the lease on the spot. He knew that's where he wanted to be, and he had already begun packing his things. Then Olivia had called again, and he and he had picked it up and invited her over. Feeling rather bold and ready for change, he had dumped her upon her arrival. He didn't expect her to take it well but he didn't quite expect her to scream, cry and throw anything she could find at him. She wasn't sad, she was furious and when she tried to hit him, he shoved her out of his house. She had just stood there, with a rather insane look on her face, breathing heavily. Then she had said, "You'll be sorry, Aidan," and left in a hurry. Now, as his phone was ringing again, he prepared to push ignore. He was done talking to her. But the caller ID said Lili, not Olivia. He sat straight up on the couch he had been napping on, and quickly flipped his phone open. "Hey, Lili," he said as casually as he could. In truth, his heart was beating a million miles a minute. He loved and hated that she did that to him so easily. "Aidan! Hey, I have some news for you." "Oh yeah? I actually have some news for you as well." "Really? OK, you first then." "Well...I found a new place to live. I move in next week." "That's great! I'm so excited, I can't wait to see it." "And..." he paused. "I broke up with Olivia." There was silence on the other end for a moment. "You did...? How did she take it?" Lili asked slowly. She was in shock. She was definitely not expecting to hear that. "Not very well. In fact, I think she would literally kill me if she could." "Uh oh...I'm sorry." "What for? I'm not. I couldn't be happier. Now what's your news?" A broad smile crossed his face as Lili invited him to go to New York with her. "Hell yeah I'll go with you! What could be better than spending two weeks with you in New York?" "Really? Awesome. Mind if I come over and hang out for a bit?" "Not at all. There's somethin' else I want to tell you anyways." Lili giggled. "OK, I'll see you in a bit." She hung up the phone, resisting the urge to scream for joy like a 12 year old. This was it, she was going to go over there, tell him how she felt, and make a move. No reason to feel guilty anymore, and nothing to stop her. ------------------- Aidan hung up the phone with a smile. He had it all planned out. He would meet her at the door, and just kiss her, tell her he loved her, and finally...finally, make love to her. The thought made his cock stir. He began frantically cleaning up the house. Thank God his parents were out of town, she would be here any minute. -------------------- Olivia sat in her car across the street from Aidan's house, watching his front door. He wouldn't answer her calls, so she had decided to wait for him to show his face. She looked at what she held in her lap. There was no going back; she had told him he would be sorry. She looked up to see a car pulling up to his house. She recognized that car...rage filled her as she saw who got out. Without thinking, she exited her own car and walked towards her, murder in her eyes. -------------------- Aidan heard the car pull up and got up to open the door. His heart began to beat wildly in his chest when he saw Lili getting out of her car. They made eye contact and she gave him a big smile as she started up his driveway. He heard the two gunshots before he even saw anyone else. He watched as shock appeared on Lili's face, and two dark red stains bloomed on her chest. She fell to the ground, not moving. "NOOOO!" He ran towards her, but laughter made him stop short. "You know, I had every intention of using this on you. But when I saw your new little girlfriend pull up, I just couldn't resist. Plus, I figured this would hurt you so much more....I told you you'd be sorry, Aidan..." Olivia laughed again, and began walking away, leaving a stunned and terrified Aidan fumbling for his cell phone to call 911, and a bleeding Lili lying on the sidewalk. Choices and Consequences Ch. 05 Hey Everyone! Sorry for the ridiculously long wait, this will be the last installment! I hope everyone enjoys it...this story has taken me much longer than I anticipated. But I've got ideas for other stories in the works, so I'm ready to conclude Aidan and Lili and begin anew J IrishSmile --------------------------------- Aidan woke to the sound of someone opening a door, and he was instantly reminded of where he was and why. He couldn't prevent his emotions taking a roller coaster ride if he wanted to, and his body felt numb either from the pain of uncomfortable hospital chairs or the pain in his chest. He decided it was probably both. He looked around the room to see Lili's two best friends, Willow and Alex, sleeping in similar uncomfortable positions. He finally forced himself to look at the hospital bed in the center of the room where the nurse was now checking on a sleeping Lili. His beautiful Lili. He swallowed hard, willing himself not to be emotional. When she was walking up his driveway and giving him that big smile, he had known that she was his. He had never been so happy in his life. And then it had been ripped away by a psychotic ex-girlfriend that apparently didn't care about throwing her own life away. Fuck her; I hope she dies in prison. He thought to himself. At the moment, she was being held in jail with no bail. Thankfully, one of his neighbors had been outside mowing the lawn when Olivia shot the woman he loved. Two witnesses meant a long time in prison for sure. Stupid bitch. Most of the rest of that memory was a blur to him; the shock, the dialing 911 and shouting at the operator. But when he had knelt down beside her, cradled her head in his lap and put pressure on her wounds as best he could...time seemed to have stopped. Nothing else had existed as she had gazed up at him with tears in her eyes, clutching onto him with what little strength she had. As much as he wanted to, he would never forget that moment. He just hoped that there would be better, happier moments in the future that could replace it. She would make it. The doctors had given him no updates but he wouldn't let himself think of the other possibility becoming a reality. A hand on his shoulder startled him from his thoughts. Alex had apparently woken up to come sit beside him. She gave him a small smile. "How are you holding up?" she asked softly. Aidan just shrugged and shook his head, not saying anything at first. "She'll be alright, Aidan. You know Lili, you know how strong she is." He just stared at Lili's hospital bed feeling as if he were stuck in a bad low budget movie. "I was going to tell her I loved her." He ignored Alex's sharp intake of breath. "We were going to go to New York together for her internship, and now -- "His voice broke. "I'm sorry, Aidan," she said through her tears. "You'll still get the chance to tell her, just give her time." "I called her parents." He felt her stiffen beside him. "And?" she asked sharply. Alex was well aware of the situation with Lili's parents; she just couldn't see how anyone's parents could so easily turn their back on their own child. It infuriated her. Not that her relationship with her parents was the best, but even they would never do such a thing. "And nothing! Lili's own mother had the nerve to say that it didn't concern her. That Lili was no longer her daughter." He spoke through clenched teeth. "They sicken me. How could her own family treat her like that?!" he asked angrily, voicing her similar thoughts. "We are her family now, Aidan. She's going to need us to get through her recovery. She'll need you. It'll help her when she wakes up and realizes you never left her side." "I never will." "I didn't think so." ----- Lili awoke to an intense pain in her chest. For a moment she had no idea where she was, how she got there, or who was in bed with her. But as her vision came into focus, she realized she was in a hospital...a hospital bed...which meant... and then it all came flooding back to her. Wait -- who was in bed with her? She looked over to see a sleeping Aidan lying at her side with an arm draped over her. She found it odd and slightly funny that this was the first time they had been in a bed together. As if he could feel her looking at him, he began stirring in his sleep. "Aidan, wake up please," she whispered to him. A slight frown crossed his handsome face, as if he were confused. Then he slowly opened his eyes, and then widened when he realized she was looking at him. They just lay there, looking at one another in silence for a moment. Then he reached up and softly touched her face. "How are you feeling?" he asked quietly. "Not so good. How long have I been here?" "You've been out for two days." "Have I really?" She cracked a smile. "Jeez, what a bum." He laughed. "God, I've missed that smile of yours," he whispered. "Please...let me kiss you..." The tone of his voice and look in his eyes caused Lili to only nod like an idiot. He kept his hand on her cheek as he leaned towards her and planted a light kiss on her lips. He had meant it to be soft and light, but they both moaned at the contact and he pressed his lips more firmly to hers and dove his hand into her hair to pull her closer. He gently teased her lips with his tongue and she parted them in response. He needed no further invitation. When their tongues met, all of his pent up desire threatened to come bursting out. But not here, not when she was in this state. So he reluctantly pulled away and planted a kiss on her nose. He sighed. He felt like an ass. She's awake for five minutes and he was already kissing her like a starved teenager. "Look at what you do to me, even when you're in a hospital gown. I turn into an animal around you." "I like it." Her response caught him off guard...and turned him on, causing him to groan. "God, Lili, I want you so bad. You have no idea. I wanted you when I first met you." Lili sighed. "I want you too, Aidan. Do you remember the day you were helping me move into my new apartment?" she whispered. Aidan drew in a ragged breath thinking of that day. "I remember," he murmured. "Don't torture me. Please get better soon," he added with a low laugh, "because I want to take you home and make you feel good in every way possible." She squeezed his hand and he saw the desire he felt reflected in her eyes. There was another emotion flickering in her blue-green eyes and Aidan was smart enough to know what it was: love. His heart soared. So why couldn't he tell her right now? What was stopping him? He wanted the surroundings to be different when he told her. When she was finally at home...instead of in this cold hospital. And because after he told her, he wanted to finally make love to her. He'd been dreaming of it for so long, sometimes it seemed like it would never become reality. But he knew it would. Dammit, he was going to make sure of it. ----------------------------- Lili could hardly contain her excitement. They were releasing her from the hospital today and nobody could move fast enough for her liking. She wanted to go home! She had a date with her amazingly comfy bed, and she wasn't going to break it for anybody. She'd been in the hospital for far too long in her opinion. She had finally told Aidan to go home and get some rest. He had been constantly at her side with hardly any sleep and she was watching him slowly turn into a nervous wreck. He had refused at first, but when she promised to call him he relented. Willow and Alex were coming within the hour to pick her up and she couldn't hide her grin. The doctors and nurses had been amazing, but a creepy hospital was not her top choice on her list of favorite places to be. Willow broke her thoughts when she came barging in...as she usually did. The thought made Lili smile. Oh, how she loved her best friends. Besides Aidan and a few coworkers, they were really all she had. "Hey, hey, hey! Alex is getting a wheelchair; she'll be here in a minute. You know they won't release you unless you're in one. So how are you feeling? Are you excited to be out of here or what?" Lili just laughed. "You have no idea. I'm feeling okay...getting better. Even though the bleeding was bad for a while, the doctors say I look like I'm healing quickly. They say I should be almost normal well before six months." Willow breathed a sigh of relief. "That's really good news," she said quietly. Her eyes were soft as she looked at Lili seriously. "You had us nervous there for a few days. I thought I had a heart attack when Aidan called me that day." "Aidan called you?" "Well duh, who else?" "I don't know...I guess I just assumed it would've been someone from the hospital or something." Willow scoffed. "They don't have time for that I don't think." Then she got serious again. "Lili, if you haven't realized how much Aidan cares about you by now, then start realizing it. If you could've heard him on the phone that day...he sounded so panicked and heartbroken...he's really in love with you." Lili was torn between wanting to smile and wanting to cry. She opted for both. "I don't know about love yet. But no man has ever cared about me, or wanted me like he does," she whispered fervently. "Oooookay, TMI right now. Raunchy details later, my dear. Let's just work on getting you out of here." Lili laughed again. "Gladly." TWO MONTHS LATER Lili entered her apartment after a long day at work and another doctor's appointment. He had finally cleared her for everyday normal activities. And to her, that meant sex - lots and lots of hot sex with Aidan. She knew he was at his breaking point; but so was she. The sexual tension between them was so thick she felt like she could wear it as a winter coat. So today was the day, dammit. But her best friends were constantly hovering around her, making sure she was taken care of. Only after repeatedly assuring Willow and Alex that she could manage on her own for today did they finally drive away promising to check on her tomorrow. The days felt longer when you were recovering from being shot by a crazy bitch. Absentmindedly rubbing her chest where the scars now were, she contemplated what she wanted to do. She looked around the room. Bath? Nap? Amazing sex? Finally, she decided she wanted to be in the bath when Aidan arrived. She smiled to herself at what a tease she was. Picking up the phone, she dialed his number. He answered on the second ring. "Hello?" "Hey there, sexy." "Lili," he breathed. "How was your day?" "Good, work was okay. I had a doctor's appointment today though." Aidan took a deep breath in anticipation. "Yeah, and?" "He cleared me today." Aidan tried not to groan. He wasn't sure if he succeeded or not, but he was going insane. He supposed it was because he had almost lost her, but his lust and desire for her were through the roof. The past months had been torture for him; he wanted her more so than ever before. And that was saying a lot, seeing as how he had had a hard time keeping his hands off of her since he met her. "But right now I'm about to take a hot, relaxing bath..." "Can I join you?" he asked quietly. "Hmm..." Lili could hear the desire in his voice, and she could feel herself getting wet in anticipation. The memory of what happened the last time they were in her bathroom together made her shiver. "Lili, please. You're killing me here," he growled. She giggled. "Well, I could use the help in the tub...I'm going to be so hot and wet...and my skin will be soft and slippery...I can't go through that alone," she said huskily. Aidan sucked in a deep breath, and then groaned aloud. "God, Lili, I think you ARE trying to kill me. I'll be over in 10 minutes." "I'll be waiting. Naked..." "Fuuuuck...I'm leaving right this minute." After they hung up, Lili stared at the phone in disbelief. What had gotten in to her? She didn't know when she had become such a tease but Aidan didn't seem to mind. He was the one who brought it out of her for cryin' out loud! With that thought, she decided to make good on her statement and walked to the bathroom to start the water. -------------------------------------- Aidan had never driven so fast in his life. He knew he was driving reckless but he didn't give a shit. He wanted to get to Lili's as quickly as possible. He had been waiting so long since that day in her apartment...now he needed to know what felt like wrapped around his cock; what she tasted like. She had him wrapped around her finger and she didn't even know. Yet. He came screeching into the parking lot at her complex, picked a random spot, threw it in park and was running to her door in a matter of seconds. He surprised even himself and he felt a little ridiculous, but the love of his life was waiting naked for him. He wasn't about to take his time getting there. He was, however, going to take his time making love to her. He couldn't wait to make her come. He didn't even bother knocking. They had gotten past that point a while back; she always left the door unlocked when she knew he was coming over. He opened the door and made a beeline for the bathroom. He could already hear the bathwater running, and the sound made his blood pressure spike and his cock come to full attention. He opened the bathroom door slowly, and he was instantly hit with déjà vu. This is where it all began. His breath caught in his throat when he saw her. She wore a deep red silk slip that was so short it was dangerous to his health. She was slightly bent over the edge of the tub, testing the warm water with her hands. It gave him a perfect view of her long, creamy white thighs and a portion of her tantalizing ass. The sight made him dizzy with desire and as he closed the door behind him, she finally turned around. She could see the intense lust in his eyes that mirrored her own. She gave him a sexy smile. "Aidan. Come here." The simple command snapped him out of his trance, and he closed the distance between them with two long, sure strides. "You are so fucking sexy," he said hoarsely. Then he captured her mouth with his for a brutally passionate kiss. All of their pent up desires and emotions were poured into the kiss as he wound one hand into her soft hair to pull her closer. She gasped and he took the opportunity to plunge his tongue into her mouth, desperate to taste more of her. She reached between them to stroke his erection through his shorts, and he gave a sexy groan. His kiss was frantic now, and it was her turn to moan as he caught her lower lip between his teeth. He ground his pelvis against hers as they came up for air. They were both breathing heavily and Lili could feel her wetness starting to seep out of her. All from a kiss, she thought. "Turn off the water. You're not taking a bath just yet." She looked up at him to see a fierce determination on his face and she decided not to argue. Wordlessly, she turned around to shut the water off. She jumped at the sensation of his warm hand caressing her exposed ass. He groaned again, and gave her ass a firm squeeze. "You look so fucking good bent over like that. I want to put my cock in your pussy so bad right now," he breathed hotly into her ear. "I just know you're going to be so tight and amazing wrapped around me. I bet you're wet for me right now too," he added as his hand traveled between her legs. Lili was so aroused she could hardly stand and she had a hand against the wall for support. Aidan's words were doing things to her body and mind that no other man had. Or ever will, for that matter. She was powerless under his touch. His fingers found her pussy, and they both moaned. "Oh my God....You're so unbelievably wet right now. So ready for me...I wana fuck you so bad right now it hurts..." he groaned. His skilled fingers found her clit and began making lazy circles. Her abrupt turn to face him again surprised him. Even more so when she boldly grasped his rock hard erection and began to stroke it once more. She stood up on the tips of her toes to whisper in his ear. "Well then quit talking about it and take me to bed, Aidan." He exhaled sharply, grabbed her hand and basically dragged her to the bedroom. His blood was on fire, his mind overtaken with lust and love, and he didn't think his cock had ever been so hard in his life. The rollercoaster of feelings he'd been having the past months seemed to be all bubbling to the surface at once, and he was having a hard time fighting them off. He stopped by the side of the bed and waited to gain his composure before he turned around to look at her. "Aidan..." "Hmm...?" He turned around just in time to see her red silk slip falling off her shoulders and landing in a pool at her feet. He couldn't breathe. So much for composure. He sat down on the edge of the bed, not sure if he had the strength to stand. Here was his beautiful Lili, standing wondrously naked before him...with two pink scars on her chest. It took him back to the day that he could have so easily lost her. He couldn't talk at the moment; his throat was painfully constricted in an attempt to hold back tears. So he simply beckoned for her to step in between his legs. He reached up to softly touch the scars. "Do they hurt right now?" he asked quietly. He had yet to look up into her face. "A little...but I can manage. Aidan, look at me." He hesitated, but finally looked up into her face and she was surprised to see unshed tears in his eyes. "Are you sure?" he asked hesitantly. "Never been more sure about anything or anyone in my life," she replied. Then she slowly climbed onto his lap, never breaking eye contact. He clutched her hips and groaned as she began to gently grind her pussy on his aching cock, still hidden by his shorts. "I want you, Aidan", she whimpered, closing her eyes. "I want you to make love to me." He grabbed her face with both of his hands, and gently kissed her mouth, teasing her lips with his tongue. She willingly opened them, allowing his tongue to slide in and sensually play with hers. The kiss was slow and sexy, but filled with emotion, desire and longing all the same. It was the best kiss of her life. He slid one hand down to cup one of her breasts and gently began teasing her nipple. They moaned into each other's mouths as the kiss became more intense. He couldn't get enough of her. Her body, her moans, her kisses, her soul, her mind...every part of her was like a drug to him. He needed to have more. He broke the kiss and looked into her eyes clouded with desire. "Lay down," he said quietly. She gave him a sexy grin and obeyed without a word, climbing over him to lie on her back in the middle of her queen sized bed. She spread her legs just enough so he could get a good view and looked up at him expectantly. "Are you going to join me or just sit there and stare at it?" She asked with a playful, sexy tone in her voice. "I don't wana have to resort to touching myself...." She added, slowly sliding her hand down her stomach. "Please do, I wana see it," he replied hoarsely. She grinned at the tone in his voice. "Well...if you insist..." Without taking her eyes from his, she slid her hand down to her waiting pussy. She slowly parted her folds to torturously rub her clit in small slow circles. She moaned softly, giving in to the sensations overtaking her. She watched Aidan, his eyes clouded with lust and his facial expression one of near pain. He was fixated on her pussy, hypnotized by the motions of her fingers and he was breathing heavily. "Do you see how wet I am for you?" she asked huskily. She didn't know where this confidence was coming from; a year ago she never would've said something like that in the bedroom. Aidan apparently just brought it out of her -- and she enjoyed the reactions she got.
