Caught By Vincent
Aaron didn’t answer me, but he turned his head to nuzzle his face into my hand. He leaned towards me again, his lips chasing mine to continue our kiss.
“Still want to withdraw the funding?” I ducked away from his kiss. God, I didn’t want to end up going at it with him out here in the cold. I could already feel his giant, hardening length pressing up against me through his pants.
“I won’t withdraw the money, but you have to promise me you won’t get too close to him.” Aaron hugged me tightly. “Trust me, Olive. He’s not a good person.”
“I’m not getting close to him… We’re just colleagues, that’s all.”
“But you let him eat your ice cream, I saw you,” Aaron said in an accusatory tone.
“…That was an accident.” I was inexplicably flustered by the reminder. “Aaron, I’m so cold. You drove here, can you give .
me a ride home?”
Aaron saw I was trying to avoid the topic, and he gave an irritated snort but didn’t press the matter any further.
As we got into Aaron’s black SUV-I was very glad he wasn’t driving the conspicuous luxury convertible today–my mind started to wander.
I couldn’t help but dwell on the same question I’d thought of earlier–Why did Aaron have such an extreme reaction to David?
The Aaron I knew was a player, and he lived a charmed life by most standards. As the second son of the Morris family, he
was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Almost every opportunity in the world was open to him. Anything he needed in life, he could buy, except maybe…
Love.
Was it possible that Aaron and David really were lovers at one point? And their relationship had ended on bad terms?
I was a little shocked by the idea. But when I thought about it carefully, it made sense. As far as I knew Aaron had usually been with girls in the past, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t gay. After all, he was much too pretty to be a straight man.
My eyes slid over to Aaron’s arms on the steering wheel, taking in his beautiful muscles, his full pecs, his well–defined abs…
“What are you staring at me for?” Aaron demanded. “You can’t wait until we get home? That’s fine, I can pull over if you want.”
I rolled my eyes, knowing Aaron had fully recovered from his tantrum. But now I was so curious, I had to ask. “Aaron, were you in a relationship with David in the past?”
As soon as the words left my mouth, the car came to a screeching halt.
My body lurched forward and bounced back against the seat. I looked at Aaron in shock. “What’s wrong?”
Aaron narrowed his eyes at me for a few seconds. Then someone honked at us from behind, and Aaron put the car back in drive and continued down the road.
“I’ve never had that kind of relationship with him. Don’t make wild guesses.” This was the calmest sentence Aaron had said all day.
Seeing him finally regain his composure gave me the courage to ask another question. “So what is your relationship? Why don’t you tell me about it?”
Aaron frowned, clearly reluctant to keep talking about David. “All you need to know is that he’s not a good guy. That’s enough.”
I knitted my eyebrows together. He was still dodging the question, speaking without really saying anything. But for whatever reason, I was still inclined to believe him.
I watched the scenery rush past on both sides of the car, then suddenly thought of another question. “Aaron, what were you doing at that restaurant, anyway?”
It was really too much of a coincidence that he’d happened to show up while I was having dinner.with David. But he’d accused me of ignoring his calls and texts, and apparently he was worried that something happened to me, so…
“Aaron, you didn’t come to the school just to check on me, did you?” I asked tentatively.
“Don’t be ridiculous. I got hungry all of a sudden, so I just came here to get something to eat,” Aaron said with a stern expression on his face. As soon as he finished speaking, his phone started to ring.
He answered it, and Daisy’s shrill voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Hey, boss man, the meeting is about to
start! Where have you been? Do you have any idea how important tonight’s meeting is?!”
“We’re going to have to reschedule for tomorrow. I’m busy tonight,” Aaron said curtly. He didn’t give Daisy a chance to respond and just hung up the phone immediately.
I raised an eyebrow. “Oh, so Mr. Morris got hungry right before an important meeting and decided to drive twenty minutes just to get dinner?” He was obviously just making
excuses.
Aaron pursed his lips and didn’t say anything, but I could see a hint of rosy pink spread across his cheeks in the dim light of the car. He was actually blushing? I stared at him in
amazement, feeling like I was getting another glimpse at Aaron’s cute side.
It didn’t take long for us to arrive at my house. I was a little surprised Aaron hadn’t taken me back to his place instead. Before I got out of the car, he said, “Are you disappointed?”
“What?”
“I didn’t take you home with me. Aren’t you disappointed?”
“Ha! Don’t get too cocky, Aaron.” But as I spoke, my lips began to ache again.
Aaron stared at me for a moment. I thought he was about to apologize, but in the end, he just said, “Stay away from David. He’s not a good person.”
By now, this sentence was getting very familiar. I couldn’t help saying, “Vincent told me the exact same thing. He said you’re
not a good person, and I should stay away from you.”
“But you didn’t listen to him, did you? You ended up in bed with me. Doesn’t get much closer than that.” Aaron quirked an eyebrow at me. Then he lifted his hands to cup my face and said seriously, “Please, Olive, stay away from him. He’s dangerous, and I don’t want you to get hurt.”
I didn’t know how David could possibly be dangerous, but I didn’t want to keep arguing with Aaron about it. Just as I was about to get out of the car, Aaron grabbed my hand and yanked me back. I almost fell over, but before I could protest, he said, “Vincent’s car just pulled up.”
