Haru's Love (Steamy BL Harem)

Book 1: Haru to Aiden - Chapter 15

Haru

"You okay?" I heard Aiden's voice come my way, followed by a warm hand gently cupping the side of my face.

I opened my eyes and saw Aiden inches from me. He was watching me closely, and my heart skipped at the sight of him. Suddenly, everything that had happened last night came rushing back to me: Aiden kissing me wildly and passionately, Aiden touching and tasting every inch of me, and Aiden fucking me.

Holy Mother, Jesus Christ! We made love last night, Aiden and me.

Heat rushed to my cheeks, and I desperately wanted to hide in embarrassment.

"Maybe I overdid it," Aiden said. "Are you in pain?"

I felt flustered. I still couldn't get the fact that Aiden and I had made love last night out of my mind.

"It's...it's not that bad," I said, avoiding making eye contact with him.

"Maybe you should take a day off today," he suggested. "If you can't walk properly."

I shook my head. "No, I'm fine. I really am. I can't afford to miss classes. Besides, I don't have one until this afternoon, so I'll be fine."

Suddenly, I realized just how odd it was that Aiden was acting so normal and having this casual conversation with me. Didn't he feel awkward? Then again, why would he? Aiden was a grown adult. Why should he act like an antsy kid like me after a night of hot passion?

I noticed he was already in his suit, and looking damned handsome, too.

This scenario, it felt like we were already in an intimate relationship, with him sitting on the side of the bed and paying me his undivided attention. I wondered why I hadn't run off to my room and hidden from him for all eternity already?

Aiden leaned down and gave me a gentle kiss on the forehead, and I involuntarily sucked in my breath.

He said, "Sorry, I was a bit rough."

I honestly didn't know how to react to that, and found myself simply nodding my head, my cheeks feeling hot.

He must have noticed my embarrassment because he chuckled as he stroked the side of my cheek with the backs of his fingers. "Your face is burning hot."

Flustered, I brushed his hand away. "Aren't you going to be late for work?" I changed the topic.

Shit, but I couldn't stand this anymore. I wanted him to leave so I could be alone. I wanted to reflect on my stupid actions last night and nurse my embarrassment.

Aiden glanced at his wristwatch. "You're right. Then I'll be heading off."

I nodded.

Fuck, what the hell was this? This setup was weird.

"Are you sure you're okay going to classes?"

"I'll be fine, Aiden," I said.

"Okay." He leaned down again, which took me by surprise. Then he gave me a light kiss on the lips, which made me ache for his touch again. When he lifted his head, his hazel-green eyes were twinkling, and I felt my breath catch at the back of my throat.

"See you later, Haru." Then he headed out the door.

Alone, I lay there, staring up at the ceiling, feeling dazed. This was completely different from what I had expected after a night full of passion with Aiden. I would have thought he'd be gone way before I was awake, since he probably didn't want to see me after what we had done together.

It was nearly eleven by the time I decided to get up and get ready for the day. I purposely waited until everyone left the house, including Jess, who had been the second person out the door after Aiden. Of course, the noise had been loud, as expected, with my brothers and their friends rushing about, hunting for food in the kitchen, cooking up a storm, and having a cheerful morning meal. By the time they were gone, with Reo being the last one out, my stomach grumbled, demanding food.
