CHAPTER 7: Did I Hear Him Right?

Aria

On the drive home, Tribel didn't say any thing to me. She just let me cry out to my hearts continent. I'm not really sure if she knew why I was crying, but I was definently going to tell her. I just didn't want to say anything in side a cab, in front of a person I didn't really know.
I wasn't sure how to take in all of this. I mean, I know I keep saying he was my boss, but honestly? How could I stand there and let him say that to me and not be able to back my own self up?
I literally cowarded under him, and let him cross a line twice! One that I knew was there but, well no excuses. I deliberately allowed him to do that and I knew better.
Still wasn't sure if I just wanted him to do unspeakable things to me, or if I just wanted to explore and learn parts of my body that I didn't know was there. I know that if I did want to go through that, he would be the one I would want to do it. If I had a choice about it, Aiden would be the one I would let teach and bend me the way he wanted to.
Was that what I was afraid of? Was I afraid of letting some one learn more about me than I knew about myself? Afraid of taking a different path to even try to learn some thing new, from the ones I'd usually take? Of course, I wasn't naive to how these things worked, but I have never been able to get too far in that situation.
As I have said before, usually the guys I would be with would just have boring vanilla sex, but Aiden didn't show that to me. He didn't exude boring or dull demeanor and he definitely didn't care what any one else said about him.
I suppose you could say that he scared me at times, and gave me this kind of Alpha male feeling. He's offered me some thing to have a choice in, as to whether or not I wanted this. And he is attempting to show me a path of which I never knew I was confident enough to take.
What didn't make sense is that, it always seemed like he was drawn to me and vise-versa. He always looked at me differently than others and he'd always treat me with the up most care and respect. He didn't seem like the kind that would even portay him self as the caring and affectionate type.
Aiden carried him self with dignity, pride, confidence, and with power and yes, it always turned me on when I was around him. Of course, I'd imagine the things he could do to me from time to time, but how could I really act on something that was so unknown to me? Nothing ever came easy and when ever I did try to go out side my comfort zone, things never went my way.
I was not knew to sex, but when ever Aiden pushed me to my limits I could never fight or argue with him. He was my boss and nothing ever got passed him. I should've known something was not right when he deliberately appointed me to be his assistant instead of being in the accountant position that I had originally applied for.
That definitely slipped my mind because I was so focused and so happy that I even had gotten the job. No, I didn't have any doubt in my mind that I would not get the job, but the way the other girls went in side his office and walked out crying, left nothing to the imagination. How you carry and present yourself always matters when important events are taking place. N oting, that was one of the many reason the other girls weren't selected for the position.
Anyways, the way Aiden stared at me and the gentle ways he always touched me, whether it was slightly touching my arms or my neck, and the way he would speak to me always had me on edge and always led me to believe that the reason he wanted me to be his assistant was for me to always be close and personal with him in the end.
How many times would he have to do nothing but stand near me and smile, had I been so wet for him? How many times had it been since he would so slightly just caress my skin and I would be so ready and willing for himt o accept me and to bow down to his ever need?
My mind couldn't stop wondering about all the whys and hows that I didn't even realize that we had made it home already and that Tribel was holding my door open for me, waiting for to come back to my senses.
"Damn, I'm so sorry Tribel. I didn't even know we were home." I tried my best to laugh and shrug it off but it didn't come off to her that I was just being a clutz. "Come on Aria, we can talk about every thing inside. Okay?" She paid the cab driver and held her hand out and took us inside the house.
The elevator was the only quietness that we had between us and I loved that about my best friend. She never pestered me to tell her about anything and she would always be patient enough to know that if I wanted to tell her then I would, but if not I wouldn't speak about it.
Once we entered my condo, I could barely speak. Through all the crying I had done, Tribel just rubbed my back and tried to get me as comfortable as she possibly could.
"What happened baby, talk to me." She said as she crossed her legs as we sat on the couch in the living room.
"He said some thing to me that kind of turned me on."
"What? I mean....wait what?!?" She started to laugh out of no where and stared at me like I had just told her a joke. "Baby, if that's all it was then I would have rooted for you from the beginning."
"But it scared me Tribel! I mean, he told me to call him 'Daddy'! My soon to be boss told me to call him some name I've never even uttered to a man besides my father, and it didn't feel right. Tri, I didn't know what to do! Why would he say that to me knowing that I am supposed to be working under him in a few weeks? I have to work close to him so what am I supposed to do?"
"Look, no one can deny that you are a catch Aria. If he's said the he wants you, then I believe that he does. If it becomes more than a problem at work, I would just work with him as if nothing happened. It won't be so hard to do babe. And then if he does decides to make a move on you, I'll slug him!" She said smiling and I felt better than I did before. We hugged and I was so thankful to have Tri that I never wanted to let her go. I wanted us to grow old together and sit on the porch talking about the olden days. Like I said, I loved this girl and she knew very well that I did
"Tri...?"
"Yes hun?" She said as I sat in her arms, rocking on the couch with the television on.
"I was so turned on...I wanted him." I said as I covered my face with my sweater to hide my embarrassment.
"Hahaha! I know babe, I saw your face turn red! You only turn red when you're excited or you're extremely mad. But listen, whatever you go through I'm here for you and you know that right? I don't care what time of the day or time of the year, I'll always try my absolute hardest to be here for you okay?"
I couldn't help but to feel loved. Sure Tribel and I had been together since middle school but she was always there for me whenever I was mad at my mom or my sister. I was never mad at her and I never hated her.
"What if he's that type of person, I mean...the controlling type in bed?"
"Girl let him! I know he's your boss and all, but only at work. Don't ever let him scare you like that unless you want to be scared."
We sat there laughing and talking for the longest of time, until both of us fell asleep.
