VICTORIA FOX-
I was just going to wear a simple dress, but my mom insisted on making me wear something that 'would look good on me'. I don't think she realized that what she said was kind of an insult. I mean what does that even mean?
I ended picking up even a simpler outfit and sandals, not even heels. I would look like a midget in front of Aaron now. As I finished doing my makeup, I looked over at the bed where my mother was sitting, simply just staring at me. I raise my eyebrow at her, "Sweetheart I know you might have some reservations when it comes to Aaron but everyone deserves a second chance, so all I am asking you to do is go on this date with an open mind. He has done a lot for you that you might not realize."
What did she mean by that? But I didn't bother asking, I was already late. It was seven thirty, he said 'be ready by six'.
I smiled at my mother when she said that, I was glad my mother didn't push me into telling her what went wrong, she just accepted the fact that something went wrong but ramifications need to be made to which I agree. I guess there is no harm in giving my feelings for Aaron a chance, as he has not given me a single reason not to.
I mean there is no contract anymore, and I can get out of this situation whenever I want, "Okay mom, I promise, I'll go on this date without any reservations or judgement."
My mom smiles brightly at my words before going back to her room so as to not disturb us, "Okay kid, I am going to go now, use protection, actually don't, I want grandkids." My mom winks before leaving making me roll my eyes but laugh a little.
As I walked down the stairs I couldn't help but admit that I was a bit excited for this date, I mean I have been praying for this since the first time I saw Aaron. I always wanted him to take me out on a date. Not a fancy one like Benjamin took me to. He thought I was a spoilt princess and I need posh stuff to impress me.
Aaron was standing downstairs, adjusting his watch in a black t-shirt and jeans, looking like a smoldering tower of raging hotness. Even if I want to I can't help but blush just by looking at him. Why was he so adamant to spend his entire life with me when there are so many beautiful women out there who would love to be with him?
"Hello Mrs. Riverwood, you look beautiful." He says as he flashes me one of his charming smiles that makes my heart skip a beat.
Damn it!
"Shut up!" I mutter as I try not to blush, but he smirks when he looks at my red face.
"Well, as this is our first date, I thought I should do something you'll like." Aaron states and I try to hide my disappointment but he obviously sees through it.
"Don't worry, I didn't mean spectacular money wise, just something you would personally enjoy." I raise eyebrows at his words, a little confused at what he has in store for me.
As we sit in the car, I can feel him stealing glances while he drives making me nervous. I have been around him for so long now, still he manages to make me nervous.
Why do these streets look so familiar?
"You remember Café Cup o' Joe." Aaron asked and I hid my face when I realized what happened there.
That was kind of a spot my family and his family used to frequent to. They wanted a place which had good food and wouldn't be under the media's gaze. So six years ago, during a family dinner when I had just found out Aaron was dating Katrine, I got drunk and may have ended up pushing myself on Aaron, near the empty aisle area. Thankfully Aaron being a gentleman, sobered me up before any family member saw me.
I still remember me begging him to fuck me there like a desperate little hoe.
God! Just kill me.
"Oh my god, that was so embarrassing, I want to die." I slump down in my seat and cover my face, making Aaron laugh heartily at my reaction.
"Don't be embarrassed, at that moment I kind of hated myself for being so attracted to you, even though I was with another woman. Trust me, if I wasn't with Katrine, I wouldn't have really been a gentleman." He looks over at me with dark eyes making me gulp.
"The reason I am taking you there was because I talked to your mother today and she mentioned that you always wanted our first date to be there, so I thought why not." I remembered those moments, during these family dinners when I sat across from Aaron and wondered what it would be like if it was just the two of us.
I can't believe my mom told Aaron that.
The dinner was going well, and we were actually having a good conversation, "I can't believe we are not fighting right now." I laugh as we talk about our nonsensical fight.
"Well, I actually have a confession, I used to fight with you on purpose, because that was kind of the only way I would actually get to talk to you. Honestly, I love it when you argue with me on silly things, it's fun when you try to insult me but end up miserably failing." He laughs making me widen my eyes.
"I am really good with insults, I just hold myself back, so I don't end up making you cry." He laughed at my statement and when I shot him a serious look, he laughed even more.
Damn, this man looks gorgeous when he laughs.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" I looked up to see Elizabeth and Nathan standing hand in hand.
Their marriage must be going really well. She did listen to me.
"We are here on a date. What about you guys?" Aaron asked and Nathan shot me a smile to which I smiled back.
"Oh, Nathan is leaving soon for a month, for Mr. Luigi's business trip. So we are spending some time together." Elizabeth states as Nathan kisses her head.
Aww, they are so cute. I am so happy that she didn't end up with that asshole Michael.
"I guess things are looking good for you guys, you finally told her about your companies I guess." Nathan asked but immediately shut his mouth when he saw Aaron shooting him a 'shut up' look.
I knew it.
"Okay we are going to leave, you guys should talk." Elizabeth says nervously before dragging Nathan out with her.
I looked at Aaron who was about to say something but I excused myself, and walked towards the bathroom. I need an explanation now and I refuse to create a scene in front of all these people.
I could hear Aaron following me, I stopped immediately near the empty aisle, which brought back the 'memory' but I pushed it back.
"What will happen to your companies, once I leave?" I turn around to face him and yell when I see no one around us.
"Well turns out, I still get to keep them, irrespective of our marriage's status, that was just an empty warning my grandfather had put forth." My mouth hangs at his words, I thought he was pursuing me for the soul reason of saving his company, now what? He has feelings for me?
"When did you find this out? Why didn't you tell me about it as soon as you found out this information?" I asked in disbelief and fuming anger.
"Well, after we got married, my grandfather confessed almost four years ago, that it was just an empty threat, to push me into getting married. He would never take away my hard work."
What the actual fuck?
"Four fucking years ago? Then why did you kidnap me and bring me here under false pretense?" I almost shouted at him, not believing the words that were coming out of his mouth.
"I had no plans of meeting you ever again but then your mother called me, and asked me cluelessly about your 'friend' Benjamin. So I did some extensive research and found out what kind of a man my 'wife' is going to settle with. So I had to swoop in, I was only planning to keep you with me for a few weeks, till you saw Benjamin's true colours, but then-" I stared at him as he took a huge pause, making it difficult for me to breath too as I waited keenly.
"I was attracted to you, initially I thought I just wanted to sleep with you but then I realized I may- you know- well" He stuttered as he took a deep breath while I stared at him, "I like you...a lot."
What?
"So you forcing me to stay with you in this marriage actually had no selfish motives? You only did it to protect me?" I asked still not believing the words I was hearing, it was too much to process.
"Yes, I am sorry, but I needed a reason to keep you there with me, away from Benjamin."
"You know what, I am leaving. This is too much." I say as I push him away when I realize he is coming close to me.
His hands hold my waist in my place when I try to move unsuccessfully, "I haven't done anything wrong Victoria, I was just protecting you." He tells me as I try to ignore the closeness between us and all the things that it is causing me to feel, "You just try to find reasons to be unhappy, to push me away from you but I am not going to let you."
"You promised you would let me go." I point out breathlessly, "Yes, but I made no promises of leaving you alone ever." I struggle as soon as I hear his words. But his face dips to my neck making me let out an embarrassing moan, I quickly pull his hair back to stop him but that just encourages him. Why does he have this effect on me?
Fuck.
"Now tell me, you said or rather begged for something right here, six years ago. What was it?" He said in a deep tone, and I could almost hear his smirk.
"Aaron, we need to talk." I breathe out as my heart stops beating when he bites on my neck harshly before sucking on the very spot.
"No Victoria, you want to talk, I want to fuck you right here." He says as I gasp audibly when I feel his hands massaging my breasts before playing with my nipples and he continues to suck on my neck leaving in a mark. I could feel wetness pool in my panties with my entire body pulsating as Aaron's muscular body cornered me with no room for escape.
Even if I physically escape from here, he won't ever leave my mind or my heart.
Damn you, Aaron Riverwood.
