Dear Santa,There’s no need topanic...
Aidan couldn’t stop thinkingabout Shae. He’d woken up the next morning after their little video chat run-in and he was still naked. They hadn’t slept together, but watching Shae fuck herself on his phone screen was definitely the next best thing. He’d been thinking with his dick when he sent her those naked pictures of himself. He could freely admit that. After the kisses they shared, he was kicking himself for not at least staying long enough to fuck Shae tosleep.
He wanted to be a gentleman and respect her space and her time, and her need for sleep. She was running her own business and Aidan didn’t think it would be too safe to be groggy around hot ovens and other kitchen equipment. None of that stopped him from fantasizing about Shae on his drive home. He was half hard by the time he walked into his apartment and dead set on jerking off the moment he got inbed.
Even though Shae had asked for dick pics, Aidan knew she’d been half joking. It was a bit of arrogance on his part, actually sending the pictures. He knew what he was working with and maybe if Shae had gotten a peek of what he had to offer, she’d… He didn’t know what a glimpse of his dick would make Shae want. He just hoped she’d want more ofhim.
What he got was a hell of a show. Anyone could see that Shae had an amazing body. Those curves were fucking killer and the little bit he’d gotten to touch when they kissed on her couch made him want to explore every inch of her body. Seeing her fingers pump in and out of her wet pussy had been something else. Something so fucking hot he’d nutted twice before he finally went to sleep just playing the image of it and the sounds Shae made over and over again in his head. All of it was much better than any naked picture he could have gotten from her inreturn.
The video mutual masturbating had been the icing on their night together. He had an idea that he was going to enjoy himself with Shae. He just never anticipated he would enjoy spending time with her so much. Their date had definitely been different from every other first date he’d been on, but he realized that was one of the things he was starting to like aboutShae.
In the least cliched way possible, she was different from other women he’d dated before and he could get used to that. He tried to shake her from his mind. Didn’t work. Even after hitting the weights at the gym, thoughts of Shae came flooding into his head. So many thoughts, so many possibilities of what they could do when they saw each other again, that he had to stop himself before he got a hard-on in the gymshowers.
Avoiding a public erection was the best he could manage. He gave in to his pathetic infatuation and stopped on his way into the office and picked up the most alive looking bouquet of grocery store wildflowers he could find. Then he headed over to Sweet Creams. He thought he’d have to have another awkward conversation with the girl behind the counter, one of those conversations that had her asking Shae the moment he left if that weird creep who kept popping up was bothering her. Luckily Shae was in the front of the shop refilling the creamers when he walked in thedoor.
“Excuse me, ma’am?” he said as he walked closer. Shae spun around, her face lighting up the moment she saw him. She didn’t hesitate to rush to hisside.
“Hey! Are these forme?”
“Yeah. For last night.” Aidan couldn’t stop himself. He reached up and smoothed a small bit of Shae’s hair behind her ear. She froze for a second before this hint of something Aidan liked came to her eyes. She smiled a little, then bit the inside of herlip.
“Yeah. Last night. Thank you. I’ve never done anything like that on a first date before,” she said quietly. “Orever.”
“It was a first for metoo.”
“Really?”
“Yeah,” Aidan said, laughing a little. What kind of player did she think he was? “A night offirsts.”
“So we’re both feeling sufficientlyawkward.”
“But not bad, right? You don’t feel bad about last night?” heasked.
“No! Definitely not bad. Just pleasantlysurprised.”
“And these are for the whole night. Not just the extra stuff at the end. I mean, I would have brought you flowers anyway. Not just becauseyou—”
“I get it. These are very sweet.” She smelled them again. “Thank you. Are you on your way towork?”
“Uh, yeah. We have a call with one of our investors in a little while. Just...wanted to see you first,” Aidanadmitted.
“Fortify yourself by gazing upon my beautiful face before you face theday?”
“Something likethat.”
“How about a few donuts on thehouse?”
“Sure. I’ll buy some more pastries too,” Aidan said, following her back to the display cases. He picked out a half dozen tarts and another half dozen donuts. “I’m sure Matt made sweet love to those cupcakes last night, but I know he’ll try to fight me if he finds out I came in here and didn’t get himanything.”
“He really is keeping us inbusiness.”
“At least he’s good for something.” Aidan took out his wallet, then paused. There was something he had to ask Shae. “So this weekend they have the ice rink set up at LA Live. Is that something you could be interestedin?”
“Oh, you should go!” The girl at the register said. “I go with my sister every year. It’s so muchfun.”
“I’m terrible atskating.”
