Unforgettable Love (Page 55)

Lifting me up, Aaron carried me over to the bed. Gently placing me down on it, he looked tenderly into my eyes. “I can’t wait to make love to you, Sierra.”

Smiling, my heart felt as if it was about to burst. Aaron moved his lips down my body as he took a nipple into his mouth. Arching my back, I relished in the pleasure. Turning to the side, a picture caught my eye as I tried to focus on it. It was a picture of Aaron’s family. Probably taken on one of their combined vacations with his ex-girlfriend Sandy since she was in the picture.

Turning away, I tried to push it from my mind. How many girls had Aaron been with on this boat? The thought had my stomach turning.

Aaron’s lips moved down my body as he moved closer to my clit.

Stop thinking about it, Sierra. It doesn’t matter. None of them matter.

Gripping onto the sheets, I sucked in a breath as Aaron swiped his tongue across my clit.

“Jesus!” I cried out. Squeezing my eyes shut, I tried like hell to block that damn picture out of my head. I knew Aaron had been with lots of girls. That wasn’t anything new. I knew in his eyes I was different, hence the reason he didn’t want me calling him Dodge when we had sex. But something about knowing he had been with someone else in this bed did things to my heart . . . and my head.

“Wait. Stop!” I cried out. Aaron immediately stopped and looked at me. My breathing was erratic as I silently cursed myself for stopping him.

“What’s wrong? Baby, is something the matter?” Aaron asked as he moved up my body and had his hands on both sides of my face. My goodness, I wasn’t used to a man giving me his full attention at everything.

“This is so stupid . . . but . . . I . . . I have to ask you something.” My eyes began to burn as I held back my tears.

Aaron’s eyes frantically searched my face. “Anything, Sierra. You can ask me anything.”

Swallowing hard, I closed my eyes and asked, “How many women have you been with here? On this boat. In this bed.”

Slowly opening my eyes, I was met with the most breathtaking smile. Aaron’s thumb moved slowly across my cheek as it left a fiery path in its wake.

Shaking his head, Aaron whispered, “None. It never felt right to bring anyone here. Being on this boat is . . . well it’s kind of my safeguard. I’m not Dodge who liked to fuck women just because I could. I’m not Dodge who ran after the first fight with my father. On this boat I’m Aaron . . . the man who longed to have someone special share my passion for sailing.” Closing his eyes briefly, he slowly shook his head and looked into my eyes. “I wanted to wait for that one person who made me feel like I’d never felt before. You’re it, Sierra. I think I knew the moment I first saw you . . . you were it.”

A tear slowly fell from my eye as it rolled down my cheek. Aaron watched it as it moved down my face. Looking back into my eyes, he took in a slow deep breath and slowly blew it out.

“The first time I saw you I felt something deep inside and I had no clue what it was. All my hidden desires came alive the first time you smiled at me. I had no idea what was waiting for me, Sierra. Not a damn clue. The moment I tasted your lips I knew . . . you would be mine . . . forever mine. This is probably moving way too fast, but it feels so completely right. I need you to know I love you, Sierra. I love you more than anything.”

A small sob escaped from my lips as I tried to find my voice. “I would lose all control if I ever lost you, Aaron. My heart wouldn’t be able to beat without you and that scares me so much. No one has ever made me feel like this. It’s as if my heart has finally come alive.”

Something moved across Aaron’s face as his eyes searched mine intently. He opened his mouth as if to ask me something, but quickly closed it.

Closing his eyes, he shook his head as he whispered, “I feel the same exact way, Sierra. My life is nothing without you in it.” Opening his eyes, his lips pressed against mine as he slowly pushed into me and made sweet passionate love to me.

The rock of the boat practically lulled me to sleep as I lay in Aaron’s embrace. The only thing keeping me awake was the feel of Aaron moving his fingers up and down my arm. My entire body was completely relaxed, and I was positive I wore a silly grin on my face.

Aaron kissed my back as he spoke softly. “Since you don’t like to swim, I got you as close as I could for you to check an item off your bucket list.”

My stomach dipped, and my heart felt as if it skipped a beat.

Sex on the ocean.

Turning my body to face him, I let out a chuckle. “Sex in the ocean.”
