Change of Plans

Chapter Seventeen

The next morning, I wake up with arms around me that keep me held tightly to a stone hard chest. I lay my head back against the chest and rest my eyes, not quite asleep, but not yet awake. I feel a kiss on my head and I open my eyes.

"Morning," Ayden's husky morning voice driving me crazy.

"Morning. It sucks that you have to go to work. I could have modeled my other new clothes for you." I sigh, hiding my smile as I walk to the shower. I start it and get in when it is hot enough. A minute later, someone joins me.

Ayden jokes, "You little tease!"

I feign innocence. "I don't know what you mean. I was just stating the obvious." I broke the charade as I grin.

"You knew I had an important business meeting today that I can't miss!"

I fake being shocked, "Oh, you did? Well you have to go to work then."

"Hmm, I could go for the meeting and come straight home," he muses aloud.

"Alright." I barely press my lips to his in a whisper of a kiss.

"Tease," he mumbles before he pulls me to him and kisses me like there is no tomorrow. My head starts spinning and I can't help but to hold on him tighter.

The kiss doesn't stop until we remember that we need air to live.

"What was that for?" I gasp breathlessly.

"To show you what a real kiss is like."

I kiss him again, unable to stay away for long. Abruptly the kiss ends.

"What time is it?" Ayden asks suddenly.

"I don't know, but if we don't finish our shower, you will definitely be late."

Ayden nods in agreement and starts to wash his hair. I do the same with my shampoo. I forgot Ayden was even in the shower with me until he wraps his arms around my waist. His chin rests on my shoulder.

"Why hello. Ready to get out?" I giggle.

"Sure, but then I'll have to get dressed and leave."

"Don't worry, I have college today. I'll go to class then come home and wait for you."

"I don't feel so bad for leaving now."

"Good," I say right before I get out of the shower, Ayden reluctantly following.

We get dressed, and I see Ayden off before I go to school. I was surprised I could pay attention the whole time.

After class, I am the first out the door. I rush to my car and hop in. I drive to my house and get out. I fumble with the keys in my excitement and get the door unlocked eventually. I run upstairs and start to freshen up.

I lay out the lingerie on the bed, unsure which to wear first. I am about to pick one when I hear someone behind me.

"You should wear that."

I jump and spin around to see Ayden standing in the doorway with a grin on his face.

"I was going to before you scared me!"

"I'm sorry, Love."

I just wave my hand at the apology and go in the bathroom to get dressed. Once I am done, I step out and hear Ayden's breath catch.

I twirl slowly so he can see the whole thing. "What do you think?"

Ayden only nods, his eyes never leaving my body.

I giggle and pick another outfit before going back in the bathroom. The same reaction. The same response to my question. I try on all of them, the pattern never changing until I go to try on the last one.

"Alexandria, I swear if you go and put that on, I'll rip it off in two seconds," Ayden tells me, voice sounding a little hoarse and sexy.

I glance over at him and see that he is trying not to do that very thing now. I glide over to him and slide the strap off my shoulder. I see lust and love in his eyes as he follows the strap.

"Why don't you do that very thing now?" I breathe.

Ayden doesn't hold back any longer. We spend all day and night in bed, never able to keep our hands off each other.
