A Wedding Affair (The Wedding Affair) (29 page)

In the distance the roar of the
crowds gather below us on the river, the tall ships pass in all their pomp and pageantry, they are quite majestic in all their glory, reality is so close but yet so far away, I don’t want to go back to reality yet, can I hold it at arms-length for just a little while longer? I have waited too long to be with Tristan to say good bye to this so quickly.

Tristan makes love to me,
I have never been made love to before, this weekend was definitely a wake-up call for me, but what am I to do, I belong to someone else, I have made my choice and sadly it’s in another mans bed, my thoughts fade as Tristan holds me close and kisses me as we both fall dead to the world after having our wicked ways with each other.

-------<>-------

I awake from my peaceful slumber to the lovely sight of Tristan asleep next to me, glancing at him I am reminded of how this was all I ever wanted from him, after working together all day, we would go out for drinks and he would make me laugh till we were in tears, we talked and drank like it was New Year’s Eve, he wined me and dined me and our time was the best time of my life, until it wasn’t, sadly he was the best relationship I never had. He would never let me go home at night, we would fall asleep in each other’s arms and it was always the best sleep of my life, but now after making love, he has shown me how deep our love for one another really is, who am I kidding he has shown me what
true
love is.

As I sit
here and take it all in and glance down at Tristan as he sleeps, he is even more handsome then I remembered, a perfect mouth that tells me what I want to hear and leaves me breathless with tender kisses, his long dark eyelashes that kiss his cheeks, he looks so young and innocent, that chiseled jaw that makes him look like a model, and sometimes the bad boy that he alludes to be. But oh how I love his strong arms, that use to keep me at bay are now open and inviting, as they are my new favorite place to be. 

Tristan’s admiration and devotion is evident as he has made quite clear his intentions, now that he loves me
, he wants all that goes with it. I look at him and he is just irresistible, handsome, successful and full of ideas, and as promiscuous as ever no doubt he will be the trouble of my discontent.

Tristan has always been
my deepest darkest angst, the existence of all my heartbreak and now all my heart felt desire, I have surrendered myself to him completely, body, mind and soul my craving for him is beyond what I have remembered.

I nev
er knew what it meant to be loved by an all-consuming man until him, Tristan shows me what devotion and admiration is as he relinquishes himself to me completely. I am reminded of how I don’t have this with Ian, as a matter a fact no one has come close to what I feel for Tristan. I never knew what it was to truly love someone, to know his touch, to feel his tenderness, to sense his passion and ardor for me it is breathtaking and irreplaceable.

As I take a moment just t
o take it all in, it is frightening how much he means to me. it is frightening what all this means now in present day and I am frightened because now that I have succumbed to him that this all means so much more than I care to admit.

I push his black hair
off his forehead and to think he could have been mine, I could have gotten my dream, but reality is outside this hotel room and I know these are our stolen moments.

We are
bathed in the evening sun as it takes its last glimpse of the day, its lasts moments to shine through the window, I lean over to kiss him and he stirs as he moans at my lips, and there are two beautiful hazel eyes on me as he pulls me close to him I smile at his neck.

“Oh Aria, I lov
e waking up and finding you beside me” He rolls on top of me and deepens the kiss, we come up for air as we are both breathing hard, he is looking at me, I feel his erection at my thigh and I want one last kiss of him on me.

I move my hands down and open his robe
, I ease it off his shoulders and throw it on the floor, he opens my robe and scoots down between my legs his lips are kissing my inner thigh then his tongue teases my clitoris I am all sensation at his mercy, my knees bend and I wiggle he holds me down by my hips to keep me still.

“
Oh Tristan” he is forceful in his endeavor and I come quickly, loudly as I grab the sheet beneath me. Before my orgasm fades he enters me, he is hard against my sore flesh, he stretches me and fills me and all I want is him, the soreness fades as he has become my indulgence, my guilty pleasure.

“Tristan please”

“I know baby, I know” he flexes his hips and I take him all in.

“Oh Tristan yes please, move”

“Your wish is my command” and he proceeds with a pulsating rhythm he is merciless, I am so sore but I don’t care I want him, it is agony, he is so decadent as desire takes over and erupts deep inside of me, Tristan finds his release and fills me with his goodness, all my thoughts are of him as he tips me over the edge and we come together like beautiful music. He collapse on top of me, we are one soul in two bodies. I have never known a love like this before. We both lie as we catch our breath.

H
e makes love to me, he fucks me, he has shown me that sex with him lives up to all the hype. The smell of him on me, I am bathed in it, I inhale as he is at my ear, his arms hold me tight and I never want him to let go, his lips that mold so perfectly to mine, he is all I ever wanted and he should have been mine.

Tristan
pulls out of me and holds me in his arms, his front to my back. I glance out the window, his restaurant is just minutes away, my store is in this same building that we are in right now and we never bumped into each other until two days ago.

“What are you thinking about Aria?
”

“Oh just about the past few days and how our businesses are so close and we never ran into one another.”

“Yes it appears that we have someone to thank for this happy tete-a-tete” immediately I think of Ian and how he had found Tristan’s restaurant and insisted we check it out and that was the start to my whole weekend.

“O
h shit Ian, I gotta go” I go to move out of his arms and he won’t let me go! Tristan has a grip on me, a hold on me that is a force not to be reckoned with, I give up and calm and I look at him.

“W
ait, wait, and wait, just a minute, where are you running too?” Oh he is going to make this hard on me.

“Tristan, Ian is flying home today, I have to go and get him from the airport!”
I sound anxious and worried as well I should be.

“On one con
dition” before I get a chance to react to his demands he holds my face in his hands and kisses me until he gets me good and wet I jump onto his lap, as he makes all my girly parts tingle. I am at his mercy he owns me while his tongue invades my mouth and pleasures my palate, he is smoldering to my lips as only he can, he kisses me and bites my lower lip, but what gets me is when he sucks on my tongue between licks, I lose my mind in him and I suddenly feel his ever present erection wiggle beneath me as he makes love to me with his mouth, coercing me to come as he making me lose control and I come all warm and salaciously on his lap, he holds me to him one last time and without warning he is hard and on fire and he kisses me one last time I feel him come beneath me,
I have just lost my fucking mind

Tristan
bits my bottom lip and I pull away panting as I try to calm and catch my breath.

“Now do you know how bad
ly I want you?” the look on his face I feel it in my bones he is not just fucking around, he is playing for keeps. As he is still pretty substantial  I burnish my sex against him one last time with utter refinement, and skill leaving me intrinsically with something to ponder.  

“The
feelings mutual” he hugs me as his teeth graze my ear and he whispers

“W
here does this leave us Aria?” I gotta lighten the mood and I do what I do best sarcasm

“Well you left me pretty sore”
I sense him relax a bit at my remark

I
feel his smile at my neck I pull away slightly and see a satisfied grin on his otherwise handsome face.

“Good, whenever you move it will remind you of me” it’s nice to know he still has his humor.

“Oh I don’t think I am going to forget this anytime soon” he rubs his nose to mine and his
daunting smile is so young and cute.

“Don’t g
o Aria, stay with me tonight?” he is so daunting yet sincere as the sun is slowly fading we are both naked, me on his lap and his arms around me it would be so perfect to blow off everything and just be selfish and egocentric but I can’t be that girl, I have obligations and commitments that take precedence over what has transpired here this weekend. I need to go.

“Tristan I need time to think” I push my hair back and my smile is replaced by sadness.
As I mirror his regard on his face.

“A
re you going to tell him about us?” Whoa us, shit I never even imagined…I mean whoa…wait a second…I jump off of him to the floor and get my bearings.

“Tristan there is no us!
I told you I need to think all of this through!” I pick up my clothes, stomp off to the bathroom, oh the look on his face, I want to go back out there and throw my arms around him and make him mine, but I can’t I am someone else’s.

I have behaved with no shame this weeken
d, and now I have to face reality, I am engaged to another man, I have to go do the grown-up thing, and pick up Ian from the airport.

I dress quickly and walk out of the bathroom, Ian is sitting on the bed just as I left him.

BATMAN BATMAN BATMAN BATMAN
my phone rings, he hands me my phone.

“Hi”
I say breathless

“Hey sweetheart how are
you?”

“I’m good where are
you?”

“I’m at
O’Hare my flight leaves shortly I just missed you so much I wanted to hear your voice”

I can’t do this anymore, I have to go, Ian is on the line he
will help me out of here, and before I know it I grab my purse and valet ticket and I walk out the door. I sigh a breath of relief as I make my way to the elevator.

“Oh Ian I miss you too” I si
gh as I hit the down button repeatedly.

“I love you Aria, I can’t wait to see you” the elevator finally comes and I get in
pushing the G button or number one I don’t know which one is the main floor!

“Ian fly safe I’ll see you in a bit I love you too bye”

I make it to the valet desk and throw them some cash and my ticket.

I walk outside and it’s dusk
the cool air blows my hair away from my face.

I’m grateful that Tristan didn’t chase after me I need to think all this through.

My phone rings a number I don’t know I answer it.

“Aria
I love you” it’s Tristan, shit how did he get my number? My heart is pounding,

“I know, I know, I know!
Look I have to go”

“
Promise me you’ll remember me
?” a lump fills my throat I would run back upstairs if it wasn’t for this ring on my finger anchoring me, my car pulls up

I sigh into the phone,
hang up, as I walk to my car, I fist Lawrence some cash and he eyes me strangely oh gawd do I look like I had a one night stand? Yes the walk of shame to get my car, jeez I am falling so fast. Shit more things to worry about.

“Have a pleasant evening Miss. Macy” well at least he didn’t call me a
mad-am
I get in and drive off like the villain running from the scene of the crime, screeching tires and all.

                                                                        -------<>--------

I pull out into traffic and its crowded, the Indians are playing, the bars and casinos are full to capacity tonight and I am stuck in traffic behind a party-bus full of guys out for one last tie-me-up-tie-me down night, the screaming and the noise is too much is the whole city fucking around this weekend or what?

I calm down
and I know I have no one to blame but myself. Tall dark and handsome was always my weakness, whether I wanted to admit it or not. I knew I was in way over my head and what was I thinking doing those things with him that I have never even done with my fiancé ?  
Mulling over all this in my mind does not help the situation, all it’s doing is reiterating what I have done, burning it even further into my mind what he means to me and how he proved to me just how much he loves me. I never knew what it meant to have a man wants you...body, mind and soul he has captivated all my senses and has left me senseless. 
Lacking objectivity and wanting him as I fled from the scene of my crimes, my misdemeanors are stacking up and he’s my partner and he reeks of both crime and punishment. 
The old adage comes to mine
I Came, I Saw, I Conquered, Vin Vini Vinci
My thoughts are this I came, boy is that the understatement of the weekend, he made me come like crazy,
I saw what all he has manifested, professionally he’s a successful restaurateur, but what got me was the vineyard, he conquered and chased after our dreams, and my insecurities still hinder personally was I next on his list of antiquities to conquer, a bucket list entry, or was I just the girl who said no all the time and became his obsession, his must have?
