Chapter 39 - Two allies

Name:Is this destiny? Author:RedSonia
Sarah reached the door and held onto the doorknob. She took few deep breaths. Just as she was about to turn the doorknob and get outside of the room, without thinking, she locked the door and headed toward the bathroom.

Next thing Sarah knows, she was standing at the bathroom door, looking at Aiden who was in the shower. The bathroom was steamy and there was condensation on the glass door of the shower obstructing her view slightly. He didn't notice her; his back was facing her.

He was humming a song, and his body swayed according to the tune he hummed.

Sarah was enjoying the view. She leaned on the door frame and crossed her arms across her chest. She had a silly grin on her face, 'This is better than what I imagined. Greek god descended from heavens and is performing an exotic dance'.

Her restless heart was beating faster by the second, and her eyes were glued to the wet body in front of her. She really wanted to touch him. She wanted him to touch her. Sarah remembered morning in the hotel. Images flashed in front of her eyes. Felling of him inside her... With each passing moment, her desire increased.

At some point, Aiden noticed her and got startled. He quickly turned off the shower, grabbed towel and wrapped it around his waist. As he got out of the shower, he cleared his throat few times, "I didn't notice you there." He was clearly embarrassed.

Sarah could not stop smiling, "I figured." Her hungry eyes scanned his body. Everything about him enchanted her, and she could not get enough of him.

He glanced into the room.

"There is no one there. Or do you hope that there is someone?" Sarah teased him. Her eyes were locked on his, and she stepped towards him. "The door is locked." She made another step towards him. Their bodies almost touched. "And the room is soundproof." She got on her toes and kissed him.

Any feeling he had was replaced by desire to hold her. He hugged he tightly and kissed her deeply. Their tongues found each other and soon they gasped for air. Sarah's desire was increasing exponentially, and she thought she will lose her mind if she does not feel a relief soon. She could tell that he wants her as well. That towel around his waist didn't leave much to imagination, but Aiden didn't seem to have any intention to go beyond kissing. His hands were on her back, not moving. Sarah was frustrated and she bit his shoulder, leaving teeth marks. He let out a low moan from pain.

For a second, she looked at him in the eyes, before she moved and whispered to his ear, "I want you."

Any control that Aiden had was lost because of these three words. He lifted her while they kissed passionately. Sarah's arms were around his neck, and her legs wrapped around his waist. He carried her to the bed without breaking the kiss. Within seconds her clothes were on the floor, and his hands explored her body while he kissed and sucked her full breasts. Sarah involuntarily moaned while fighting to catch her breath. Her heart was beating like crazy, and body trembled from desire.

Aiden slid inside her effortlessly, and she let out a gasp. He stopped his movements and looked at her with a hint of fear that she is in pain. Their eyes locked on each other, and she smiled. His hips moved slowly, gradually increasing the pace.

Their consciousness faded as two bodies became one in rhythmic movements while they filled the room with passionate moans.

...

Sarah was in her shower. Hot water running over her body was removing traces of recent intimacy. She is reflecting on her feelings, and recent changes that Aiden awoke within her. She traveled a lot and met a lot of people. But no one made her interested in a romantic way. 'Aiden made me realize what longing is, what desire is. How did he do it? So far many made advances towards me, but he is the only one that managed to make me respond with interest... Maybe this is what love is. It's feelings that can't be explained and have no reasoning behind. It just is.'

After shower Sarah quickly got dressed and went to find Sophia. She found her in her room.

"Do you have few minutes?", Sarah asked.

"Sure, come in", Sophia put the document from her hand down and looked at her sister.

"Hmm, I'm not sure how to start", Sarah said nervously.

Sophia observed her. "Looks like something important?"

Sarah nodded, "For me, yes." Sarah took few deep breaths before continuing, "Actually, the only way to say this is to be direct I guess." She took a moment, "Aiden is my boyfriend." Sarah observed Sophia's facial expressions. Besides small raise in one eyebrow, nothing else happened.

After about a minute, Sophia spoke with disbelief, "My baby sister has a boyfriend?"

Sarah nodded and didn't say anything more. She just looked at Sophia.

"Why are you telling it to me like this?", Sophia was suspicious.

"Because mom and dad don't know. They think that Aiden is my classmate, no more than a friend. And I want to tell them, but I don't know how", Sarah said.

"Just tell them how you told me, what can happen?"

"What can happen?!! I don't know what can happen... What if they don't take it well? What if they cause a ruckus? You know how dad is overbearing related to this, and mom always plays matchmaker from hell. And I really-really like him, and I don't want to mess it up.", Sarah sounded desperate.

Sophia thought for a moment, "OK. What is your ideal outcome?"

"Mom and dad accept Aiden as my boyfriend without meddling", Sarah responded.

"Hahaha, they not to meddle? Dream on. What is your next best outcome?", Sophia teased.

"There is no next best. I need them to approve of him as my boyfriend", Sarah was decisive.

"So, do you have a plan?", Sophia was curious.

"JoAnna also knows. So, my plan is that two of you do not make it difficult for me while I look for an opportunity to tell mom and dad."

Sophia nodded, "I will do my best not to create difficulties for you." She paused before continuing, "As an older sister, I want to warn you that his family background is not simple."

"What do you mean?"

"We do business with White corp. so naturally we did some checks on their background with a strong focus on finances. In the reports some things don't add up. They have more than one source of income that can't be traced to its origin. Even with this, we still cooperate with them, because deals we make with them are very beneficial to us, and we make sure that any deals we make don't include these gray areas of their business.", Sophia explained.

Sarah was silent.

Sophia looked at Sarah and regretted that she maybe said too much. She added, "But that is his family, I'm just saying that in case you guys get serious to think of a future together, you should be aware of this and keep your eyes open. Other than that, as long as he treats you well, I will support you."

Sarah smiled, "Thank you, big sis."

With this Sarah had two allies in the house for the quest: tell parents about the boyfriend. Sarah thought about what Sophia said, but realized that she is so in love with Aiden, that even if he is a gangster, she would probably not be able to stay away from him. But she will remember this information.
