Chapter 11 - I Love You

ARTEMIS POV

 

We stared at each other. Me, not moving and Aiden just raising his beer bottle and the glass. His eyes were glazed over and his dark hair was tousled. Like someone has laced their fingers through and pulled.

 

"Care for a drink?" he asked again and I stared at him.

 

"I don't drink alcohol so, No," I said and he growled.

 

"Take the damn drink" he said stubbornly clenching his jaw and I shook my head.

 

"I said no. I…"

 

"Please," He said and I stopped. He didn't tell me please, ever

 

"Drink with me," he said slowly and I nodded and took the beer from him. Immediately I took it, I shoved it under a couch.

 

"Hey," he went to check but I pulled him back. 

 

"Hey, look at me. You are drunk, and I wish I could take pictures but it seems that is the least of my worries," I said. His green eyes drooped but his stare was as sharp as a wolf.

 

"I am not drunk," he said tiredly and I shook my head.

 

"That's what every drunk man says," I insisted but he pulled his arm back. His droopy green eyes made him look sexier and his gaze was as smoldering as ever. 

 

"What are you trying to do?" He asked, his voice seemed less intoxicated and as if he was getting a hang of himself.

 

"I wanted to get fresh air," I said and he shook his head.

 

"It's late. You shouldn't be outside, what if anything happened to you?" he asked and my heart raced. Did he really care about me? I couldn't let it get to my head.

 

"You don't care right?" I asked bitterly. Aiden's green eyes burned hotter than possible for someone drunk. The intensity of his gaze had me squirming.

 

"I do," he finally answered and my heart stopped working.

 

He cared.

 

He freaking cared.

 

"I…I want…I" I stopped, not knowing what to say. Aiden shuffled closer and pushed back the red strands from my face. He brushed a finger across my bottom lip and I shivered.

 

"I want you," he said and I stared at him surprised.

 

"But you said…"

 

"Fuck what I said. I take it all back," he growled and I shook my head.

 

"You are saying this because you are drunk," I said and he nodded.

 

"Right word is tipsy not drunk." He answered and I smiled despite myself.

 

"Here you are, the man that people fear, drunk as an ordinary person," I taunted and he smiled.

 

"I am all flesh and blood… Artemis," the way he called my name made me close my eyes, allowing his voice to sooth my insides.

 

I opened my eyes to find him staring at my lips, he looked like he was hungry, like he was in need, like he wanted to kiss me.

 

"Can I kiss you?" He asked and all my body screamed YES! But I shook my head. He had made me cry and sob, I wasn't going to make things easy for him.

 

"No," I answered and he nodded, then without warning he slammed me into a walk and captured my lips with his. I cried out into his mouth in surprise that quickly turned to need. It wasn't long before I was kissing him back and lacing my fingers through his hair. He moved from my lips to my earlobe and gently bit it.

 

I cried out in pleasure as he moved lower still to my neck and he bit it gently as he could. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. He pulled away watching me with his eyes.

 

"I want you," I said after convincing myself and he nodded.

 

"I know," he said and took off his shirt. I undid the buttons of my blouse and took it off, then I tugged down my skirt. Leaving me clad in just my bra and underwear. Aiden watched me like a movie and I blushed. I had never done this before and I never even bared myself for any man.

 

Aiden kissed my neck and traveled down to my chest and, he pushed down my bra and took on my breasts in his mouth. I cried out as he okayed with the nipple with his tongue.

 

"Don't stop," I moaned and dug my fingers into his hair. Aiden raised his head from my breast and gave me a smile.

 

"You are delicious," he said and I blushed. I didn't even know if he was still drunk but I didn't care. I had been fantasizing about this for weeks now and it was driving ms crazy.

 

Aiden picked me up and set me on the bar counter, he covered my lips with his and slowly slipped inside me.

 

I felt so full, like someone had stuffed something in me and without warning Aiden pushed in with force.

 

The pain was sharp and fleeting and I screamed in his ear, tears forming around my eyes. I buried my face in the crook of his neck and he sighed.

 

"I am sorry," he said, he had stopped moving so I wrapped my legs around his waist and clutched him tighter. He took my hint and continued his strokes, moving slow and torturous. 

 

The pain started to fade filling with feverish pleasure. I cried out as the feeling wracked my body. Aiden picked up the pace, moving faster. The sound of our lovemaking echoed in the room and I could feel pressure building in me.

 

"Don't stop," I urged and he moved even faster. Suddenly my body exploded with the built up pleasure. I shuddered in his arms, digging my fingers and yanking it so hard that I was afraid I was going to pull them out.

 

Aiden kept going and I kissed him. I could feel his movement getting erratic, getting desperate. He let out a low growl and he let go, right inside me and for a fleeting moment. I wondered how it would feel to bear his children. 

 

"I love you," I whispered in his ear but all I got was silence and he sound of his heavy breathing.
