AIDEN
R osie kicks in the door to my room way too early in the morning, Ryder trailing behind her.
I groan and roll over, pulling my pillow over my head and trying to muffle it all out. “Go away. It’s too early for whatever the hell the two of you are going to do.”
Rosie sighs. “We need to have a roomie meeting, which means that you need to get your butt out of bed and into the living room right now.”
“Or… I could stay right here since it’s one of my two days off.” I pull the blanket up over my head, holding it tight when a light tugging starts.
“No can do,” Ryder says. “I’ve been told that I’m welcome to do whatever it takes to get you out of this bed, and I’m going to do just that.”
Rosie claps her hands together. “Come on, let’s go. Get up and out of bed and get your butt on the couch because I cannot keep listening to you and Mia banging it out every night. Not when the only place either of you wants to get romantic when the rest of us are sleeping is the couch.”
I smirk beneath the covers, my cheeks burning hot at the same time. “We put a blanket down.”
“Oh, God!” Ryder stops tugging on the blanket. “Not this blanket. Tell me that this wasn’t the blanket on the couch last night.”
“If I tell you that it wasn’t, will you get the hell out of here so I can at least put pants on?” I push back the blankets enough to look at them.
Ryder gags and looks at Rosie. “I say we give him half an hour to get everything together, and then we can have the meeting.”
Rosie sighs, and the quiet tap of her foot against the floor tells me that she’s less than impressed, but finally it stops.
“That’s fine, but you better be out there, Aiden.
I’m not going to go to put all the effort into putting forward my best lecture ever without you being out there to listen to it. ”
I nod and link my hands together behind my head, staring up at the ceiling as they disappear from the room.
The longer I lay there and stare, the less I want to get out of bed and go hear what they have to say.
When I signed on for the season, I thought I was going to have roommates who left me alone for the most part.
I thought it was going to be a couple months of silence and going about my job.
Everything is upside down now.
After another couple minutes of doing nothing, I get out of bed and head to the washroom, taking a quick shower and getting dressed.
When I finally make it into the living room, Ryder and Rosie are perched on the coffee table and Mia is sitting on the couch, looking smug with Honey’s massive head in her lap.
“Good.” Rosie gets to her feet, her hands hitting her thighs. “Now that everyone is here, we can get started.”
Ryder nods, trying his best to look serious, but I don’t think he’s capable of that. “We need to talk about the past week of sex-nanigans.”
“Do you need a tissue?” Mia asks, reaching for the box and holding it out to him. “If you have a cold, you’re going to need to stay away from me.”
Ryder groans and gives her a flat glare. “You’ve got to be kidding me, Mia. Jokes? At a time like this?”
She shrugs and puts the tissues to the side. “Well, you two are the ones acting weird right now.”
“Listen.” Rosie paces back and forth, her hands clasped.
“We can appreciate that the two of you feel the need to go at it like rabbits since you got together, but I think we need to put a couple limits on some things. Like bedrooms. I walked in on you two naked in bed together the other day, and that just can’t keep going on. I can’t be subjected to that again.”
When I sneak a glance at Mia, she’s smothering her laughter behind her hand, her shoulders shaking a little.
I scrub a hand down my face, though my cheeks feel like they’re on fire. “Well, it’s not like you were supposed to be home. We checked the calendar, and you were going to be gone all day.”
“You could have locked the door!” Rosie’s hands fly up in the air before she takes a deep breath and seems to center herself again. “Effective immediately, doors are to be locked if the two of you are alone. And there’s to be no action of any kind in communal spaces.”
Ryder nods, his arms crossing over his chest. “And effective immediately, the two of you are going to be in the same room so we don’t risk another naked incident.”
Now Mia is laughing out loud, doubling over, tears streaming down her cheeks. She looks up at me and shakes her head. “I’m sorry, but you really should’ve locked the door.”
“Well, I think I’ve learned that for next time.” I bite the inside of my cheek and look anywhere in the room but at Rosie.
“Great, so let’s get the two of you into one room so we don’t have to risk our eyesight again.” Ryder gets up and immediately goes into our room, packing his things.
Mia smirks and winks at me before getting up and heading to her room, leaving Rosie and me alone. Rosie looks at me and then shudders, leaving the cabin without so much as another word.
I have a feeling it’s going to take some time to recover from that one, but maybe one of these days, she’s going to be able to look at me without thinking about my naked backside.
Within the hour, Mia is settled in my room, sprawled out on her bed with Honey alongside her, leaving no room for me. Mia hums to herself, reading her book with one hand and playing with Honey’s fur with the other.
“All right, so this isn’t going to work.” I look down at her, noting the panic in her eyes. “I mean the sleeping arrangement. Your bed is going to have to get closer if all three of us are going to be able to sleep together.”
Honey gives me a side-eye, setting her big head on Mia’s stomach.
Mia laughs. “Well, we’re going to need something to go on top. Otherwise, I’m going to slip through the middle the second you and Honey start trying to cuddle with me.”
I sit down on the floor beside her bed, leaning back against the nightstand and looking up at her. “I figured as much, which is why I contacted one of my friends in housekeeping, and they’re going to be bringing us a foam topper and some sheets to fit it.”
“We could get in trouble for that.” She shuts the book, an amused smile still on her face. “You keep breaking these rules, Aiden, and I’m going to think that I was wrong about you this entire time.”
I snort and shake my head. “I think we were both very wrong about each other in the beginning.”
Mischief sparks in her eyes as Ryder comes bustling through the door with the foam topper and a large stack of sheets. He says nothing and slams the door on his way out.
Mia laughs and gets up from the bed, crossing the room and locking the door. “I think there’s still plenty of time for us to get to know each other better, don’t you think?”
“There might be, depending on what you mean by getting to know each other better.” I grab her by the waist and pull her into me, lips ghosting over hers. “If you mean we should push the beds together and get a little naked, then I think you’re right.”
“Only a little?” she asks, tone teasing as she drapes her arms over my shoulders. “Like take off my right sock and that’s enough, or are we looking for more than that?”
“I was thinking a little more like strip you down, bend you over, make you beg for me.”
Her answering smirk has my cock stiffening as she leaves my embrace and grabs one of the nightstands, moving it out of the way while I grab the other.
We push the beds together, stripping down the linens and throwing the mattress topper on.
As Mia leans over the edge of the bed to pull down the fitted sheet, I come up behind her, my hands on her hips.
She straightens up and leans back into me. I kiss down the side of her neck, tracing her pulse with my tongue. Her breath comes out in a little burst as I nip her shoulder. As I soothe away the sting with my tongue, my hands slip beneath her shirt.
My hands climb higher, fingers tracing along her ribs and the lacy material of her bra. “What do you want?”
“Are we really going to play that game right now?” she asks, her voice breathy as she tilts her head to the side to look at me. “You could have me any way you want me, and you’re really going to stand there and play games?”
“We’re going to have to be fast, and you’re going to need to be quiet. Otherwise, Rosie is going to come knocking on the door. Think you can do that?”
Mia grinds back into me, the curve of her ass pressing hard against my jeans. “I don’t know. Think you can manage?”
I pull her nipples between my fingers through the thin material of her bra, pinching them tight. “Maybe.”
She leans back into me, her nails raking along my arms before I let go of her nipples. Mia turns, and then her mouth is against mine, eager. Her tongue prods at my bottom lip before slipping past it.
I groan low and reach for her leggings, sliding them down her body. She rips her shirt over her head, tossing it to the side.
After reaching behind her back for the clasp on her bra, Mia stands in front of me, completely naked.
She pulls my shirt over my head, her fingers tracing down my chest. She follows the path of her fingers with her tongue, making my entire body tense. My hands sink into her hair, pulling her head back as she sinks down to her knees in front of me, reaching for the button on my jeans.
Mia’s tongue darts out to wet her bottom lip. The rest of my clothing hits the floor, my cock springing free. She grips the base, sliding her hand up and down, her thumb brushing over the head.
And then her tongue is tracing the underside, flicking over the tip before she takes me into her mouth.
“You look so good on your knees for me.”
Mia moans around me. The vibrations have tingles shooting through my body. I thrust deeper into her mouth. She hollows her cheeks and takes more of me.
I rock my hips, pumping harder. Mia grips my thighs, her fingers sinking into my skin.
