Vol. 1: Haru to Aiden - Chapter 10

Haru

After shutting the door to my closet-sized bedroom, I zombie-walked to the bed and collapsed facedown on the mattress. A moment later, I shifted around so that I lay on my back as I stared up at the ceiling, the light illuminating the room in a soft glow.

I should dry my body and hair properly and then put on my pajamas, I thought tiredly. But then, the bed was so soft under me and I didn’t want to get up. Plus, it felt quite nice without clothes on, especially in this heat.

I spread my arms out, relaxed, and was about to doze off when Aiden’s face appeared in my mind’s eye. Then I remembered the hug he had given me back in the car, and the way he had caressed my cheek. I remembered his warmth, the hardness of his body, and his smell that was so unique to him. The scent that I loved.

“Aiden.” I groaned his name softly under my breath. “Aiden.”

I flicked my eyes open, feeling restless.

What the hell was wrong with me? My body felt hot, and my heart was racing.

I sat up, and it was only then that I realized I had a hard-on.

Fuck! I was totally turned on by just thinking about Aiden. How sick could I get?

My dick was sticking up like a steel pole beneath the towel, begging for some hot action. I sighed in resignation. There was no way out of it. I would have to finish this off quickly and then go to sleep.

I was about to unwrap the towel from my waist and proceed to masturbate when a few knocks came at the door.

Fuck!

I panicked.

“Haru?” It was Aiden calling my name.

Double fuck and double panic. I glanced at my stupid hard-on beneath the towel and then at the door.

A few more knocks came.

“Haru? Are you asleep? I’m coming in.”

No! I wanted to shout at him. Don’t you dare come in, Aiden!

The door handle turned, and I wanted to yell at him to stop right there. But my voice had apparently deserted me when I needed it most.

The door cracked open, and I had no choice but to flop back onto the bed and feign sleep. I turned on my side so that my back was facing the door. This way Aiden wouldn’t see me having a hard-on.

“Haru?” I heard Aiden say as he came toward me. “You left your clothes in the bathroom.”

I shut my eyes and forced myself to breathe deeply and slowly, as if I was deep in my slumber.

I heard him say softly, “He’s asleep.”

A moment later, I heard his footsteps coming toward the bed, and I held my breath. Shit! Shit! Shit!

I felt his hands stroking my wet hair and then the side of my face. Oh, fuck! Not good. My whole body was heating up even more now, and my dick was getting even harder.

His touches were so gentle on my skin that I wanted to groan out loud in pleasure. I actually wanted to purr like a freakin’ cat. Fuck! Who wasn’t going to be turned on by that?

“Haru, if you sleep like that, you’ll catch a cold,” he said in disapproval. “I thought I told you to dry your body and hair properly. Haru?”

I pretended I didn’t hear him. After all, I was supposed to be asleep.

Suddenly, I felt his warm breath on my face. I knew he was very close, like inches close, and my body squirmed in response.

I couldn’t help myself and instinctively turned my face to him, my eyes half opened, like I had just roused from a deep sleep.

“Aiden?” I whispered softly under my breath. I didn’t know why, but I suddenly felt tears brewing in my eyes.

Shit! What the fuck was wrong with me? Just because Aiden was here, I broke down just like that? Seriously?

“What’s wrong?” he asked, wiping tears from my eyes like the nice stepbrother that he was.

I bit my lower lip, shaking my head to indicate that nothing was wrong with me. But I knew my face showed otherwise. I probably looked like some kid with a crying face begging desperately for help.

“It’s okay, you can tell me,” Aiden said soothingly. “I’m here to help. I want to help you, Haru.”

God! Why the fuck did he have to be so nice and kind and caring and so freakin’ gorgeous? Why did he have to be my stepbrother? Why did I have to go fall in love with him? Why?

The very thought made my heart ache with emotions. I couldn’t help myself and whimpered.

“It hurt, Aiden,” I said brokenly. “It hurt here.” I touched the left side of my chest. I knew I sounded stupid, acting like a kid begging for his attention, but I couldn’t help myself.

“I want it to go away,” I said. “I want to stop loving...”

“Shh...” He soothed me, stroking my forehead. “I know how much it hurts,” he said softly.

“Then how do you make it go away?”

He smiled at me gently. “You have to give it time, Haru. I don’t know if it’ll be of any help, but maybe if you tell the girl you like about your feelings for her?”

I shook my head. “Impossible. I already said that it’s impossible.”

“Then the only way is to give it time. You’re young, Haru, and you’re a good boy. I’m sure you’ll find another girl you’ll fall in love with.”

I shook my head adamantly. “I will never ever fall in love with a girl.”

He smiled gently at me. “What makes you so sure?”

I took a deep breath. “Because that person is the only one I’ve ever loved since...”

“Since when?”

“Since—” I stopped short, my face suddenly hot from embarrassment.

Fuck! What was I doing? If this went any further, I’d spill the beans and Aiden would know that he was the one I liked, the one I’m sickly in love with.

I turned away, my heart racing and my head pounding. I said lowly, “It doesn’t matter, Aiden. I’m tired and I want to sleep now.”

God, I didn’t want to tell him that I had been in love with him since I was in middle school, ever since I had started puberty.

He sighed, and I knew he wasn’t going to prod for answers. He moved back, which was a relief for me. That meant he was leaving.

My relief was short-lived, however, when he said, “Let’s dry you properly before you sleep. I’ll help.”

I gasped in outrage and said urgently, “No. I’m fine, Aiden. I’ll do it myself.”

“You said you’re tired, didn’t you?” he said logically. “Look at you. You don’t even have the strength to get up.”

That wasn’t true, and I told him so bluntly. “I can get up, Aiden. I’m not that tired that I need your help. I can dry and dress myself.”

To show him just how energetic I was, I hastily got up and out of bed. In doing so, the towel unwrapped itself around my waist and came tumbling down to land around my feet on the floor.

“Shit!” I swore loudly.

Sickly embarrassed, I quickly bent down and grabbed the towel, my face hot. After I somehow managed to haphazardly cover my front, I sat back on the bed, trying desperately not to make any eye contact with Aiden.

Fuck! Aiden had seen everything, hadn’t he? Everything! My fully aroused cock.

Stupid me! Why the hell hadn’t I dressed myself properly? And why did Aiden have to come into my room at this ungodly hour?

Shit! I couldn’t think straight.

Aiden came to stand in front of me, which caused my heart to race even faster in response. Don’t come so close, I wanted to tell him, but my lips couldn’t move as I sat there staring at his long limbs in front of me.

I felt his hand patting my head as he said, “So you can get a hard-on.”

Shit! What the fuck did he mean by that? Was he implying that I couldn’t get a hard-on just because he hadn’t seen me with one before?

Well, to be honest, I had done my damned hardest to never let him get a glimpse of it. I mean, I could only be aroused because of him, after all.

I brushed his hand away and said defensively, “Anyone is bound to get one when he thinks about the one he loves.”

He chuckled lightly. “Yeah, you’re right,” he said, his lean fingers threading through my hair, which made me want to groan out loud in pleasure.

He came to kneel in front of me, which surprised me. My eyes were wide as I stared at him, wondering what he was doing.

He grinned at me, his beautiful hazel-green eyes intense on my face. “Want some help?”

I blinked. Huh? What did he just say?

I could only gaze at him, mesmerized, as he leaned his face toward me.

Suddenly, he pulled the towel away from my hand, revealing my fully aroused cock. I gasped.

Shit! What did he do that for?

I should seriously get the towel back and tell him to leave, but...

But my whole body was melting under his ardent gaze, and my heart was pounding so loudly inside my chest that I was sure Aiden could hear it, too.

Fuck, but I couldn’t think straight.

Aiden moved even closer now, and I could feel his warm breath caressing my face. He wrapped his arm, strong and firm, around my neck and pulled me to him. My body weakly obeyed, and soon, we were nose to nose and nearly lips to lips.

Fuck! He smelled amazing. The Aiden scent that I loved.

“Is this going to be your first time anyone touched you?” he asked softly, his breath hot on my face.

I mutely nodded.

Damn, why was I nodding my head so obediently? What the hell was wrong with me? I should pull back and tell him to leave. I should tell him that I could take care of this myself.

Yes, I should do that. I should really do that.

“Aiden,” I said, my voice hoarse. “I... I can do this myself. Let me go.”

Instead of doing as I requested, Aiden tightened his arm around me instead as he said, “It’s fine.” Then he wrapped his hand around my stiff cock. I nearly gasped and groaned loudly.

Oh, my fucking Lord! Aiden was touching my cock. Never in a million years had I ever thought that this day would come. Never! Ever!

Shit! Shit! Shit! He was stroking me now, up and down, feeling me all the way.

My heart burst at the joy of being fondled by the man I loved, and my head was in a mess of pleasure.

Fuck! I groaned again and buried my face in the crook of Aiden’s neck.

“Relax,” he said softly. “You need to relax. You’re too stiff, Haru.”

How could I relax at a time like this? When the person I loved was doing this to me, stroking me and driving me insane like this.

I clung to him as he continued to fondle and caress me. My whole body was shuddering in his arms as he moved faster and faster.

God, I wanted to call out his name so badly, but I forced myself not to, and it wasn’t long before I knew I was going to come.

Fuck! It felt so good, him stroking me like this, his hand warm and firm around my cock. Then, I couldn’t hold back and came as I clung to him.

I was breathless and dazed once it was all over, and I had to admit, it was by far the best I had ever had.

“Better now?” Aiden asked softly as he stared at my flushed face.

Feeling embarrassed, I nodded, avoiding eye contact.

“Get dressed and then go to sleep,” he said.

Again, I mutely nodded.

Aiden drew back, leaving me feeling lost and vulnerable. I wanted to tell him not to go. Fuck, I wanted him beside me. I wanted him to come into my bed with me and cuddle me until I fell asleep. But of course, that was stupid, since I was a grown adult now.

Aiden got up and then headed to the door. Before he left, he said, “Good night, Haru.”

I murmured under my breath, “Night, Aiden.”
