CHAPTER 26: PART 2

Aiden

The rest of the night seemed to fly by from all the conversations we were having. We pulled back up to her apartment and I helped Brittney walk to her front door. She was leaning all over me and I knew she wasn't fully drunk, but she was as tipsy as she could get. When she unlocked the door, she turned to face me and wrapped her arms around my neck as my hands instantly slid down to rest on her waist. "Brittney, you're tipsy. You need to go lie down." "Nooo. I-I want...I want you to lay with me."
I turned my head away from her, "I can't. Just go lie down and I can call you tomorrow to check on you."
She shook her head and brought her lips to my neck..the feeling of her touching me felt so foreign. "Take-take me to bed...please Aiden?" I flinched when she said my name. I didn't like it, but I knew she was vulnerable, and I knew she had a weakness for me. "Brittney, I'm not going to take advantage of you while you're drunk."
"I'm not drunk Aiden," She started undressing in front of me and I couldn't deny the bulge that was growing in my pants. I would not treat her the way I treated Aria, nor would I fuck her the way I fucked Aria. This was consensual and this would not mean anything more than what it was.
"Listen," I said as I grabbed her chin and brought her face up to look at me. "what we are about to do, will not involve any feeling or emotions whatsoever. Me fucking you, does not mean that I will love or care for you any more than I do. This will not mean anything to me but sex and this will not mean that you have any place in my heart during or after. Is this clear to you?" "Yes," she said, staring up at me.
"Say it. Tell me you understand, because if you do not, we will not go any further. But if anything occurs afterwards, and you feel as though you want to disrupt my life in any way, you and I will have a gruesome problem. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand." Even though this was more of a pleasure for me than her, I was still going to make this enjoyable for her.

Brittney and I had been hanging out together for almost a week since, and now we were going shopping. Well, more like she was going shopping. Every store we went to, she wanted me to critique on how the clothes she picked out looked on her. I never once lied to her about it and I started to get annoyed, since shopping wasn't my thing. After all the shopping, we decided to go out to a club tonight.
I was prepared to have another great night with her. Damn, I was loosing my mind. I had started to enjoy my time with her, and as insane as it sounds, I started to like her just a little bit more.
She chose an outfit for the night and we got ready to leave. When we arrived at the club, we skipped the line and headed straight towards the bar. We got our drinks and downed them in one go. She pulled my hands towards the dance floor and she started grinding against me. She leaned her head against my shoulder as I nipped lightly on her neck. When she moaned, I slid my hands down towards her legs and gripped her inner thigh. She turned around, wrapping her arms around my neck, and kissed me. I was about to kiss her back when a faint, sweet scent captured my attention. My eyes scanned the floor and then when I couldn't find her, my eyes drifted to the bar and there she was. Aria...she was leaning against the bar in all her glory. She wore a diamond black dress that had cut-out designs in the back and a slit in the sides that traveled up her legs, and her hair was cascading down over her shoulders.
I don't know why, but I could feel anger rising up inside me as I saw her talking and laughing with the guy that was the bartender. Brittneys' lips had now found my neck again and all I wanted to do was to shove her off of me. I tightened my grip on her waist, not wanting to let her know that my attention was now on something, no, someone else.
Tribel was right along side her, and I was both happy and pissed off at that. When Aria moved towards the restroom area I leaned down and whispered in Brittneys' ear, "I'll be right back. Why don't you go back to the bar and buy yourself another drink and I'll find you once I get back?" She smiled then nodded her head at me, turning towards the bar.
My senses went back to Aria as I saw her enter the ladies room and I began to follow her.
Once she was done, she came out, but she didn't turn my way. I reached out and grabbed her elbow and turned her towards me. I couldn't help but to caress her skin as she looked up at me in shock.
"Aiden..." As she spoke my name my instincts kicked in and I kissed her. I don't know why, but when she said my name I lost all control. Then I noticed how much I had missed her...how much my body had missed her. I grabbed her by the back of her neck and kissed her, caging her in between my body and the wall. "Aiden..."
"Please don't say my name again or I swear you'll end up being sore in the morning." "Stop it!" She pulled away from me and turned her head. "What are you doing here?"
I couldn't, I didn't want to answer her because I didn't want to see her reaction. "I'm umm, I'm here with a friend." I couldn't help but to stare up and down at her. She was looking too damn sexy. I fought with myself for my instincts not to kick in again, because she always seemed to bring my dominant side out of me.
"Oh..I haven't seen you in so long. I thought..I thought.." "I would never leave you Aria. I don't know what your mind led you to believe, but I was only on a business trip. I'm surprised you didn't know."
