The car ride home was quiet, the whole time Aries held my hand as he traced slow soft circles with his thumb on the back of my palm, while all I could think about was his weird question and his even weirder answer.
"If I was a dog, or even a wolf to be more exact would you still like me?" .....Why did he ask that question....why was he specific with the animal?
Then his words..."I happen to like you too." After I had said I liked dogs... the whole exchange was confusing and had my mind racing, so much so I barely realized we were 15 minutes from my house.
"Almost there." He said as he hummed the tune of the song that was playing from the radio.
Still wrapped up in thought, I was now biting my thumb nail while over analyzing his words when I felt a soft brush against the back of my hand. That hum feeling was brief as I turned to look at him then my hand. Aries was grazing his lips against the back of my hand with a wicked smile playing on his face. I frowned for a second as I watched him, his eyes shifting between the road and myself.
"What are you thinking so hard about?" His voice was playful and soft to my ears.
"What makes you think I got something on my mind?" I shouldn't have been so snippy with him but his perception was on point and I didn't want to make it easy for him. After all I was still kinda mad at him.
Aries chuckled before shifting his eyes back on the road. "I can smell the smoke coming from your head, from you over thinking."
I snorted before turning my head towards the passenger window as I watched the scenery change while we drove. 10 minutes now and I would be home.
"Why did you ask the question about dogs, or wolves?" I was still looking out the window and Aries still held my hand, but at the mention of dogs and wolves he flinched letting go of my hand as I pulled it back to my lap.
He cleared his throat before speaking which made me more suspicious. "I can't ask a question?"
Of course he would ask a question with a question... my turn.
"No you can, but why that question?" My turn of a question for a question. I smirked but wasn't sure if he would actually answer me.
I studied his profile as he drove, his jaw was clenched and I could see he wanted to say something. He turned his face catching my eyes, and there it was again. That subtle shift, or was it the light catching his eyes? They seemed to almost glow for a split second but I blinked and it was gone.
Clearing his throat once more he smiled before turning his attention back to the road. "It was just a question don't think to much on it."
Rolling my eyes I looked back out the window, 5 minutes now. "Right." The words were a whisper on my breath but I felt him shift as if he heard me before he spoke.
"Do I drop you off at the corner again?" His question took me back for a second, it almost made me sound like a hooker. Great.
"Ugh, no." No one would be home, my parents were on vacation, and George...well God only knew where he was. "You can drop me off out front, no one's home. Geor-."
"Your brother is out running an aron for me, your parents?" He spoke, cutting me off as Aries pulled into my driveway and parked.
I watched him for a second before answering, "They are out of town, Vegas for a fight or something." I could feel my eyebrows furrow, as I shifted my gaze to my bags and motioned to get out of his car. I had the door open as I stepped out, when Aries took the bags from my hand and lifted me with ease with his other, almost like I weighed nothing...and that was saying something.
He still had my bags as I tried to snatch them from him but he was playing keep away. Every time I lunged forward to grab my bag he would shift or move away, not to mention he was fast as well.
"I got it Allie," He chuckled when I finally gave up after two attempts.
Pouting I turned away and walked the few steps to the front porch as I fished the keys from my skirt pocket and opened the front door. That fluttery feeling erupted in my stomach as I opened the door and took a few steps in, but noticed Aries didn't try to follow me.
"You can uh...come in...if you want." I motioned but he stood looking at me then around the living room. Could he tell I was uncomfortable, or nervous? My palms were clammy and I was trying desperately not to overreact, but my pulse started to quicken with anticipation. Would he really come in?
"Thanks but I gotta go." His words were flat. A lie. When he spoke I attempted to catch his eyes, they were 100% on me and Aries was watching my every move, every breath, and shift of my body.
I felt myself sag in defeat, I took a chance of letting him come in when it was just the two of us, and he rejected my offer. "Oh, yea no problem. I'm sure you're busy." The words left my lips like sand. Dry, gritty and uncomfortable.
"Alex." Aries took a few steps into the house, dropping my dags by the front door he reached out and gripped my hand. They were so damn hot, but yet the feeling of his warmth comforted me. "If I could stay I would." He smiled and his bright green eyes danced, almost like he was happy. "But I can't stay, before I came to see you at your school my father called me wanting me home."
Aries lifted our hands to his mouth and placed a soft tender kiss on the back of my hand. "I really do wanna stay, I just gotta deal with my parents."
The feeling of his lips as he spoke against my hand made my chest clenched and my stomach do that fluttery thing. Before I spoke I had to clear my throat so the words would come out my mouth without any issues. "It's ok I get it."
He smirked before stepping back with a smile, "Pick you up tomorrow?" His question caught me by surprise.
"It's the weekend?" Aries didn't let go of my hand, in fact he held it softly as he rubbed small circles with his thumb on the back of it.
"I know." He winked, is green eyes brighter then before as he let my hand go and walked back towards his car.
"But-"
"I know, I heard. I'll still pick you up and drop you off." He was already back at his can with the biggest smile on his face never had he once broken eye contact with me. It was unnerving how he maneuvered his way with out once looking where we was going.
A chill of thrill shivered up my spin as I shivered like a cat. This man must be crazy. I must be crazy.
That night George came home late, as I sneaked a peek from my open door. He looked tired as he dragged himself around the living room and into his own room slamming the door. Great in an upset mood again, I would probably hear it in the morning.
Closing my door quietly, I tipped toed my way back to bed sprawling out till I felt the edge of my comforter and rolled with it clutched to my chest, making myself a human burrito. Hm burrito haha. My phone suddenly chimmed with an received message and I had to worm the two inches to see who it was, tapping my phone lightly with my nose.
Are you up? -unknown number
who the hell was texting me now? Flipping my nose to the side I unlocked my phone noticing the time was midnight. Still using the tip of my nose I touched the messenger app. I was difficult so I gave up and wriggled my hand out to type and scroll about.
Wrong number- me
God I really hope not because this would be awkward, open your window. -unknown number
Quickly turning to my window I stared at it, panic setting in like a ton of brick on my chest and my breathing sped up. This was it, this was how I would die, a stupid horror romcom. "Oh how did she die Debbie. By opening a window someone meseged he to do so." Looking around I quickly grabbed what I thought was the best object to use. An old track trophy, it had a heavy resin base and some kind of hard metal on top, it was of a person running and God I hated this trophy so if it broke who cared. A small part of me wonder...was it Aries...no couldn't be he said he was busy.
Slipping out of my blanket burrito I stealth crawled over my bed, pressing my back up against the bedframe I carefully pulled at the blinds. lowing just enough to crack a peep out the window. To my surprise I fell flat on my face as shock over took me at who was outside.
Aries. Scrambling to my feet as I heard him softly knock, I practically ripped the blinds from the window trying to move them out of the way. Once I got the window open, I'm sure I looked like a mad man. But there he was, his eyes bright with excitement, and with that knowing smirk of his.
"What are you doing here?" I tried to keep my voice down but I was genuinely surprised. He was here hours ago what's he doing back, and no less at my window like a creep. Didn't he say he was busy?
"I told you earlier I wanted to come inside." He smirked looking me over before his eyes landed at the object in my hand. "Were you going to use that on me?"
I had been so focused on him and why he was there I forgot about the trophy in my hand. Without thinking I tossed it over my shoulder before I heard it crash into something and land with a few thumps. I cringed in embarrassment, but pointed a finger at him.
"What the hell were you thinking?"
"I thought I would be cute and surprise you, but I guess you had other murderous plans. You do know that wouldn't kill me." He pointed behind me clearly at the trophy that was now discarded somewhere at the other end of my room.
"That was you texting me? I thought it was a creep.....turns out I was right." I made to close the window but he stopped me and pushed it back open.
"I lost my phone, so I had to get a new one. If you were so worried why did you open the window?" He had a point, Aries watched me with a knowing smirk.
This bastard.
He had a point though, why did I open the window and not scream for George. I was right, that small feeling deep inside me knew it was him, and I was just ignoring it.
"Get to the point." I applied some pressure to the window to close it, but it didn't budge. What the hell. Looking up at where his hand held it, it didn't look like he was applying any pressure, so why wouldn't it budge even just a little.
"I came because I want to say goodnight." I had been so focused on why the window wouldn't budge that when the words fell from his lips I froze. He just wanted to say goodnight in person, even after seeing him just 5-6 hours ago.
Looking down on him I could see it in his eyes, he was sincere, and excited to see me.The bright green they normally were, dazzled and danced mirroring his words. Blinking I knew I must look like a fish out of water. Don't get me wrong I was also happy to see him, but I was more surprised and I hate surprises.
"Goodnight?" I half asked half confirmed.
"Goodnight." He stated before pulling himself up using my window as support and kissing me taking my breath away. He was fast when he did it, leaving me no time to react, not even to pull away if I wanted to.
His lips soft on mine, and the heat coming from him melted what little resolve I had. At first the kiss was innocent, nothing but a peck as I felt the soft hum once more. I opened my mouth to take a breath not sure why my brain couldn't operate my nose. With a gasped I inhaled and felt his teeth nip at my bottom lip softly before he soothed it with his tongue. By all that was holy with the feel of his tongue on my bottom lip those soft tingle like hums exploded into a blissful vibration throughout my body. It was like fireworks on the fourth of July, and I wanted more. Releasing the window frame I practically fell out the window into him.
Aries now supporting my weight and the window never let go just hummed a satisfied growl that rumbled in his chest. It almost sounded like an aggressive dog, but my mind couldn't comprehend what it was hearing on felt those wonderful tingles and wanted more. My whole body seemed to crave more from him, as I tugged at his hair. Every inch we touched, those vibrations followed almost electrifying me to continue to touch him more. The kisses, no longer innocent but heavy with need. I tugged at his hair as I bit his bottom lip and a feral growl ripped out of him, as I felt myself being pulled out the window. I heard it click into place closing behind me as I fell into Aries lap who was now sitting on the floor of my backyard. His hands grabbed fists full of my hair and pulled me close, his lips never stopping their assault on my own. A small moan escaped me as he pulled me in closer, our body's pressed ever so closely and I could feel his excitement pressing into me.
For a split second my body froze, it was wanting that panic of my trauma to take over my body, but those tingling vibrations where Aries touched me never once relented it's assault assuring this was not like that time. Darin was not here Aries was, and this feeling was real.
Aries must have felt my body freeze because he continued his assault of kisses from my lips down my chin to my neck.
"Alex." He whispered just a breathless note of my name. Every nip and suck of his teeth and lips on my skin burned like a fire ragging war within me. The trauma long gone, leaving me with a need deep in my gut with all these sensations making my own mind foggy.
Where was I? Who was I? Nothing mattered in that moment as his hands slipped down my sides moving to my lower waist, and before I could even understand what was happening he tugged me even closed as a cry escaped my lips.
There was a thrumming between my legs now, a soft pulsing that was gradually getting worse and seemed to only intensify with the friction of me sitting on top of him in the position we were in.
"Please." The words leaving my lips as I begged for more. More friction, more of those intense mind numbing tingles, more everything. I wanted more of him, of Aries and what he was currently giving me was not enough. Aries's body hummed with a purr, as he kissed my neck down to my collar bone, where he proceeded to nip at the junction sending my toes to curl. It was so sensitive that even with the simplest nip and lick from him sent my body aflame. It felt like every molecule in my body vibrated, a loud moan escaped my lips as I tugged at his hair.
"Mine." I heard him say but his voice was deep and breathy. Aries didn't sound like himself, his voice was grouf and animalistic. "Mine." He repeated once more, gripping onto my waist tight before he lifted his head his eyes now on mine. His eyes were so bright they almost glowed in the dark, taking me by surprise.
It almost seemed like he was looking for confirmation from me, we were already this far what more confirmation did he want. Before I could even speak, he tugged my hips into his once more this time pleasure rolled though me as that pulsing feeling continued to thrum and build. "Again." I heard myself say without thought.
I heard the rumble of a growl from his chest, as he once again pulled my hips back and tugged them forward forcibly making me cry out a moan. "Mine." He stated again this time he kissed the junction of my neck and shoulder making me arch my back.
"Again." I practically squealed, oh God I was coming undone. Once more the pressure had built to a breaking point of almost exploding inside me. If it were the real thing I was sure he would have broken me. With a final thrust of his hips my world exploded as I felt a sharp pain of pure bliss and ecstasy. As I collapsed on top of him my body shook from the chill of being outside, in the dark, at night, in the backyard. The world around me was starting to come back and make sense, oh God.
Oh God, oh God. I tried to sit up but Aries still had hold on me arms wrapped around my waist as it seemed he was still licking my neck sending little shives in my body, not as they once were but still very much prominent. But licking my neck?
"Aries." My breath was a light whisper, my throat almost felt horse. Oh God how loud had I been?
He hummed a response before nipping softly at my neck one last time as his face moved to mine. He seemed to be just as dazed as I was. My body now felt heavy as I laid against his chest, and my neck...my neck felt wet for some reason. I tried to move but my arms and legs weren't moving, my mind new I had to move but my body just wanted to stay in place. "Aries?" I whispered again, trying to convey what I was feeling.
"I know, I'll get you back in bed." His voice back to it's normal cheery tone. All I could do was nod a response and my eyes lids felt so heavy. Not even my brain could comprehend why I was feeling this way.
With my eyes closed I could feel us moving, my body being placed on the bed, shuffling, something touching me all over, my cloths. Then nothing.
