Old Photo (Closed)

He knew he had struck back on the verbal banter between them, and honestly, Aiden was thankful for those moments of quietness. He didn't want to fight with her... heck, he hadn't wanted any discourse between them but really, it wasn't something he could take back. As she said that though he nodded.

" I know, and I considered it... but again, the online side of things combined with the distance... I thought truthfully that it would be better to wait until we were together."

Her own question made him think, though he finished his salad and as the steak was put down he thanked the waiter politely, though when they were gone he looked to her.

" You were interesting... and I liked your writing style. When we first chatted it was about the stories and our own interests... You didn't speak like an eighteen year old person, and I have never treated you as a child Jessica."

He smiled slightly as she said that she had fallen for the person, though he nodded to her.

" I am still Aiden. I knew your secret wish, I know many other things about you, just as you know about me. My age does not change who I am... if anything, I think that if you were to give it a chance, you'd see that."

He left it at that for now... he didn't want the steak to get cold, though as they both dug in he did cut off a bit of the steak and reaching over he placed it onto her plate, he leaving it for her to enjoy as well. He knew that she had wanted the steak, so he would share with her. She may not have even have given him a chance... but she could now. She of course could also leave tomorrow and never speak to him again, but he was banking on the fact that he might be able to persuade her to stay. Every day was a new challenge... but for her, he would go to the ends of the earth.
 
She had listened and she stayed quiet. Eating her food and ignoring the steak on her plate. Only once she had ate her fill of pasta did she spear the steak on her fork. Grabbing her glass she filled her mouth with wine, quickly popping the meat in her mouth and hoping he didn't notice. It was delicious, melt in the mouth, juicy and tender, of course he had ordered it exactly how she liked it, their tastes had always matched on that.

"I know you are still Aiden." She added as they finished up, "This just makes it hard," Her hand had waived in front of her, roughly pointing his face and body. "That's not Aiden I know." It might have been better if she really considered it.
 
Aiden knew they'd lapse into silence at that point... it was difficult to have a conversation when they had a fork in their mouth with food. He 'pretended' not to notice when she took the steak as well, though as she said that about him not being the Aiden she knew she could tell by the hard look he gave her that he took a great amount of offense to that.

" I am every bit of the man you know, and then some."

He replied slightly bitterly. The waiter returned to collect their plates and ask if they wanted desert. Jess was being stubborn but Aiden ordered the Banana parfait with vanilla ice cream and two spoons. He waited patiently for when it arrived, and before she had a chance to reach for the second spoon, he took it and setting it aside he scooped up some of the parfait and looking straight into her eyes demanding of her he brought it across the table and offered it to her lips.

The look he gave almost dared her to defy him... as though he would bend her over his knee and spank her if she refused. It was certainly an intense moment to be shared.
 
She had felt slightly bad at offending him and was surprised at his response, it was regrettable. She decided as dinner was almost over, and the ordeal would also be over soon to be more aminable.

Though she did not want dessert, no point straining the time by adding another course.

On hearing him order two spoons she had hidden a smile behind a sip of wine, that was Aiden all over. Though him hiding both spoons by his side was a surprise.

The offered spoon was close to her, but still far away she would have to lean forward to receive it.

She did, opening her mouth gently to be fed like a child. It was sweet, almost a little too sweet, she would have chosen the chocolate brownie herself.

"Thank you, but honestly no more for me." She added as moved back again, hyper aware of the plug inside her as she moved. "Well maybe a little ice cream?" She had enquired opening her mouth slightly.
 
Aiden knew that she would have picked the brownie, which came with vanilla ice cream as well which was why he had paired the banana parfait. Besides, since she didn’t ‘want’ anything he didn’t really think too much about his choice. He loved bananas and so the parfait worked well for him, and even as he took away the second spoon, his eyes were full of mischief and a playful nature as he ‘made’ her lean forward to take the spoonful.

He did this for two reasons. The first was that he wanted her to allow herself to take the desert from him, and the second was that he knew it would stimulate the plug in her ass. As she said that she didn’t want more of the parfait he but nodded, though as she opened her mouth for some ice cream he used the second spoon and scooping some of the vanilla ice cream he alternated between eating the parfait himself and feeding her the ice cream.

“ good girl.”

He mused though knowing that the meal was almost over he added.

“ After dinner, I’d like to invite you to my room for a drink. Will you come with me?”

He asked slightly as he hovered the last spoonful near her mouth, waiting on answer before he let her have it.
 
She actually visibly blushed when he praised her, she sat as far back in her seat as possible, holding the cool wine glass to each cheek.

"I don't know, I might have had too much to drink already." She spoke and it was probably half true, she had drank the wine much too fast before they had eaten.

But it was not just that. She supposedly knew this man, but what if that changed in private. Here she was safe, in public he couldn't do anything to her, in the privacy of a hotel room she may never be seen again. Perhaps a little dramatic but she had been taught better than to go into bedrooms with strangers.

"I might just have an early night so I can get a train early tomorrow." She added, deciding she would check the app on her phone to see exactly when that would be.
 
Aiden smiled at her little blush, and even as she sat back he nodded slightly to her, though as he finished off his own glass, he also took the last of the parfait and finished it off as well. Their meal had already been paid for before they had even sat down, so that wasn't a concern. He considered it though and sighed slightly as he reached up and ran his hand through his blonde hair.

" Please come with me Jess. I swear to you that you will be safe."

He didn't really want to beg her, though at the same time, at the end of the day the choice was hers. Moving to stand up a moment later, he circled the table and offered her his hand.

" One drink."

He somewhat 'ordered' for her to take his hand, though at the end of the day the choice was inevitably hers. He wasn't going to cause a social scene for her... but his eyes were warm, inviting... Aiden was still there inside this older man. Perhaps her Aiden was there as well. He had been nothing but a romantic with her. Even the insertion of her plug had been done intimately. Could she really say she felt scared of him?
 
She rolled her head as he waited, looking down into her lap she sighed,

"One" She stated taking his hand and standing up, each time she had forgot about the plug it would give her a little nudge to remind her.

Perhaps it was the wine or perhaps it was him, but as she followed him to the lift she felt strangely grown up, like a "proper" adult out on a date.

It would be one quick drink, a sort of goodbye to someone she had spent a significant amount of time with in the last few years. What was the worst that could happen? She thought to herself

She was going to end up leaving this hotel in a body bag.
 
He grinned as though he had won the lottery when she allowed herself to be convinced to go for a drink with him. As they headed out of the restaurant though she would see them in the reflection of the glass as they passed, though as they went to the elevator, he lead her in and keyed in one of the higher floors.

Between them they did have different rooms on different floors for safety, and even as they stepped inside and waited calmly, he gave her hand a soft squeeze. The elevator music was the usual mellow classical music which Aiden found amusing, though as they got to his floor he guided her out and down a few doors.

She had no worries of ending up in a body bag... oh no, she was very much safe in his big strong warm caring arms. Letting go of her hand though he did fish out his room key card and letting her in it was a suite much like hers, though his room faced the beach and had a large bay of windows which lead out onto a balcony. He went over to the small side bar though and smiled to her.

" So, what will it be?"

He didn't want to presume what drink she'd want, but she knew at one point Aiden had worked as a barman when he was in College, so he knew how to make many of the drinks that were on the market.
 
Her hand had felt nice in his, it was comforting, it was a little bit romantic and it was exactly what they had talked about. How nice it would be to be able to do the little things like hold hands.

On entering his room she couldn't help but laugh,
"Surely it would only have been polite to insist the lady got the better room? Mine certainly lacks the view." She had said sitting herself down on a chair with her back to the window.

"Something fruity with minimal alcohol." She lay her head against her hand, feeling somewhat tired, "Like a double vodka and lemonade." She had mumbled the last bit, briefly closing her eyes and opening them again.
 
Aiden smiled as she said that, though he shrugged as he took out some peach liquer along with a dry vermuth, he took some orange juice out as he shrugged.

" well, truth be told I imagined we would spend more time here anyway."

He poured the orange juice into a shaker, added equal parts of the two liquer's and then putting the lid on he shook it all together. Taking a simple highball glass out, he poured out the drink and brought it to her.

" Here you are."

From his side, he went and poured out a simple rum and coke, not wanting anything too special for himself, though as he settled down by the wall on a couch, he positioned himself by the light switch. He had one final idea which might sway her, and looking to her as she took a drink of the glass, he asked.

" So? how is it?"
 
She watched him as she took her sip, resting the glass on the arm of the chair she gave him a mischievous smile.

"Well technically I have had my one drink now right? I can go to my bed!" She had laughed lightly, she wasn't going to duck out quite so quickly but in time.

"So how is Felice, staying at home with dog sitter or did kennels work out better?" She had asked remembering all the details of the non-stranger stranger that they had talked about. The more she looked at him the more she saw his younger picture, aged up a little but it was there.
 
He smirked ever so slightly, though he waved her off as well.

" Aht aht, you haven't finished it."

He replied with a grin, the more playful side of Aiden coming back, though as she asked about Felice he shook his head easily.

" She's never liked kennels, and the truth of the matter is that I don't like putting her in one, so she's being taken care of by Dave."

Jessica knew Dave to be Aiden's neighbor. If Jess considered Aiden 'an old man' she'd call Dave ancient as he was nearing sixty and lived on his own. Aiden sighed slightly though as he watched her. He knew he had fucked up by not telling her his age, but everything else she knew about him was true. Aiden just hoped to show that to her in one way or another.

" How about you? how was the trip over?"
 
"Train was on time, taxi driver was nice, it was uneventful." She had almost dismissed his question as she crossed one leg over her knee, squirming ever so slightly as she had yet again forgotten the plug.

"So as this is the probable last conversation we will have," She paused to have a drink, but also let it sink in, let him think about it. "Is there anything else you want to admit to? Wife and kids? 10 Divorces? Still living with your mother?" She knew this was taunting, it wasn't that nice but she was genuinely curious,

"Anything you have always been dying to ask me and never did? Its your last chance nothing to lose really." She sighed, she would really miss him, it was quite sad really.
 
He nodded as she dismissed his question... it was clear that she was trying to distance herself from him, but the squirm only told him the plug was tantalizing her as well.

He thought about her statement, but he considered about her words. The tropes of the adulterer, the multiple marriages... he couldn't help but chuckle as she said that, though he shook his head.

" No. I live on my own, have no wife or kids. The truth of the matter was there was no one that I ever interacted with that actually was of interest to me... before you."

Those words hung in the air, though as she sighed, he considered it closely and reaching up he gently pulled the switch down, plunging the room into darkness.

" Are you sure you want to give up everything we have already shared... and what more we want to share together Jess?"

In the dark, she couldn't see him, but she could hear him. He hadn't physically moved from the chair, but he let that hang in the air for a moment... letting her hear his voice without the physical reminder that he wasn't the young buck that she had thought she was getting.

" You should know that you are safe... that I would never hurt you."

He wanted her to stay... and since they had met online and she knew his voice so well... this would allow her hopefully to reconnect with the man who she had fallen for over the last few years. Of course there was a chance that she might freak out and leave, but she could have done that already.
 
She had noticed his hand moving only a second before the room had been plunged into darkness. Even as he spoke she had a sudden thrill of panic, she expected to hear noises, possibly worse was the silence, what was he doing in the dark?
Would the lights come back on for her to find herself chained to the chair and him standing over her with a knife?

Still there was no movement, light from outside was breaking in through gaps in the curtains, she comforted herself with the thought that if he moved she would see the break, she would have a chance.

"Aiden" She sighed, how could she possibly stay with him after all that had happened.

"I know you wouldn't." She did, deep down she knew it to be true, "But its like you are a different person in a way." It had made her feel sad, to think back to the long conversations she had with him in her darkened bedroom, imagining he was with her, whispering in her ear.

There was a part of her that wanted to stay the night, not to do anything but just be in his company like they had both wanted for so long.

"I couldn't stay here, I don't have any pyjamas." She had stated finally.
 
He waited quietly until she said his name... even that was warming to his heart... and even as she said that about him it warmed his heart that she still trusted in him, though as she said that he shook his head slightly.

" Not at all Jess..."

He spoke openly, wanting her to know that he wasn't afraid of giving her his heart. He had spent so many nights doing so, though as she said that he smiled ever so slightly.

" I know you don't, but I bought some for you before the trip. They are on the second bed."

He smiled though, even those words from her told him she was considering it.

"Please Jess... spend one night with me, like we wanted to. you will be safe I promise."

He had not lied since they had met in real life, and he wasn't going to start now. He had purchased her pajamas knowing what she liked, but that was beyond the here and now.

" Stay with me."

Those final words hung in the air, hopeful... yet tentative. It was only one night after all.
 
She let out a groan, how had he managed to persuade her to do this? Her head tilted back against the chair though he would not see it.

"Fine, I will stay and nothing will happen. Agree?" She stood up slowly, slightly disorientated by the dark room and earlier consumption of alcohol.

"You are going to have to find me and hand them to me though." She added, genuinely curious as to what he had gotten her.

"I'm still going to leave after I've ate tomorrow though." She had stepped out of her shoes as she said this, her feet thanked her and it would be easier to run if he made a wrong move.
 
He smirked at her little groan, though as she said that she would say he resisted the urge to do a fist pump of excitement. As she said that though he grinned and moving, he had closed his eyes when he had turned off the lights. So his eyes had adjusted to the darkness more easily, and with the light from the moonlight.

She'd hear him get up, though instead of heading towards the bed he passed by her, letting his hand gently touch her shoulder there for a second before he passed by. Going over to the curtains though he pulled the cord and with them sliding to the sides flooding the room in moonlight.

" I will... but first, I want to dance with you Jess."

He smiled and she'd be able to see he had as well kicked off his shoes, he standing there bathed in the moonlight as he held his hand out to her. She had said that she'd be leaving in the morning, but he wasn't focusing on that for tonight. Instead, he was going to focus on the present. The first step was going to be a nice romantic and intimate dance.
 
Even as she had looked at him taking his hand she couldn't resist teasing him.

"You really are so demanding Aiden!" She moved towards him, her other had resting on his shoulder as their bodies closed in on each other.

It had felt great to be touched as well as hear his voice, many a night this would have been enough to make her immensely happy.

She concentrated on what it felt like, his arms bulkier and firmer than she had imagined, his chest more defined, but he was warm and it was quite nice as they moved together.
 
He grinned as she said that he was demanding, and yet he could tell that she was teasing him. In turn, as she went to him he wrapped his arm around her his hand resting onto her lower back as he took her other hand and took the lead of the dance.

" Oh I am... and you enjoy it oh so much."

He grumbled that out, and though there wasn't actual live music playing, it didn't matter... instead he took her and danced with her around the open area there, enjoying how she followed his lead. He even spun her out and brought her back to him, dipped her back and brought her back up along with some other moves as he took this time to enjoy her in his arms.

" Come closer."

He slowed the dance and letting her hand go he wrapped his other arm around her waist, gently pulling her into him as he softly swayed... just letting the moment linger... letting her feel wanted, held... not alone. He may be older than what he had shown, but he was oh so confident and 'demanding', in a way that was exactly what she had wanted after all.
 
She had squealed as he dipped her, not expecting it and genuinely thinking he was going to drop her, gripping him that bit tighter until he had moved them closer together.

Her free hand slid up his arm to the back of his neck, her other hand meeting it there and linking. She rested her head oh his chest with a sigh, in a way she absolutely ached for him in that moment, even if she had expected different it had felt amazing to be pressed against him, his arms around her.

"Aiden?" She had asked knowing he would say her own name back as a response, "This shirt is lovely, it feels so nice." She had laughed to herself as she lifted her head.

"Do you think you could get me to the bathroom, so I can get changed, I'm tired my sleep was restless last night?" She unlocked her fingers, letting her hands run down his to rest on his forearms. It really was a nice shirt.
 
Aiden smiled as she had squealed, but he had brought her safely back up to him, and even as they shared those next few minutes together he sighed softly... contentedly. As she said his name though he smiled to her comment though her laugh turned the smile into a grin.

" It's one of my favorites... I'm glad that you like it."

As she asked that he nodded, she able to make him out with the moonlight, though as she unlocked her fingers, he gently and finally 'let her go', he guiding her through the room and to the washroom, he flicked on the light there as he let her go finally.

" I will get your pajama's, and when you're ready you can come out, I will be in bed on the right side, and you can have the left."

He didn't really want the evening to end, but if she was tired he understood. With that he went over to the dresser and opening the top drawer he brought out the silken pajamas. It took a minute but he gave a knock to the door as he then handed them to her. She knew he would be nude in bed... he hated underwear or pajama's, so with that he left her and un-dressing, he slipped into bed and quietly waited, though he had thoughtfully turned on the bed side table light for her to make navigating to the bed easier.
 
She had let him guide her to the bathroom, finally able to get a look at herself properly in the mirror. With the knock at the door she had slipped her hand outside taking the small material in hand.

There were two reasons she wanted to use the bathroom, the first was a little privacy so she could change and see exactly what he had chosen for her. The second was all night she could feel herself getting a little wet, her body had been reacting to the excitement of the plug and his voice was familiar, many a night she had climaxed with him. It was only natural her body put two and two together to get to ten. As she did not want to send the wrong signals to him, had cleaned herself up and looked at the clothes, they were exactly what she liked and almost matched his shirt, it had made her smile.

She had changed quickly, holding her underwear over her arm and draping her dress over the top of it. She entered the room, the light was on, exaggerating she lifted a hand to the side of her eyes, covering the side closest to him.

"I can't see, I don't want to see you naked." She said clearly and loudly with a grin as she made her way round to the bed, placing her own clothes on the chair as she climbed in under the sheets before removing her hand.

"There are you happy? You have finally got me into bed with you."
 
He worked to ensure that she was as comfortable as she could be in the situation, though as she stuck her hand out he first caught her hand and she'd feel the softest of kisses touch the back of it. As he had left her alone though he sighed to himself as he made his way over to the bed, and as he undressed he regarded himself slightly though he climbed in.

As she came out though he laughed that deep rich laugh of his though he waited until she had climbed in.

" Don't worry, I'm covered by the sheet. I got rid of the actual blanket, it's warm tonight, though tomorrow's supposed to be even hotter."

He mused, though as she asked if he was happy he turned onto his side and nodded to her.

" I am. Now, turn off the light. Since you're sleepy I will let you sleep."

He wasn't going to push his luck at this point. If she wanted more out of this evening, well she would need to go to him. In the dark though, she'd be with her Aiden again... the man who she had fantasized about for so long. He was within arms reach, and yet he didn't break his word. He wasn't going to sleep though. Even with the alcohol he wasn't tired so he would settle for watching her fall asleep.
