Chapter 60: Family trip I
Chapter 60
After Aaron got that bothersome wet dream, his nights had turned into something else entirely that he didn’t have control over—breathless, hot, and restless from horniness. His dreams had been plagued and taken over by Katherine.
A teasing, seductive and inviting Katherine.
Every time he shut his eyes, it was her—laughing, touching him, whispering things that sent heat spiraling down his spine. And each time, he woke up drenched in sweat, his body aching, his thoughts clouded, and his chest tight with need.
Fuck!
Even the morning after he had dropped them off at their apartment, he couldn’t look her in the eyes. His grip on the steering wheel had been too tight, and every time she shifted beside him, he could still feel the heat of her skin under his hands from the dream, and her natural scent nearly drove him crazy.
His knuckles had turned white, jaw clenched, while Katherine, completely unaware of the restlessness in him, had thanked him for the ride. He’d nodded without saying much, afraid his voice would come out hoarse, deeper with a tinge of his desire.
Then Aaron took some days off—a few days away from the hotel or her apartment, away from seeing her smile, away from the twins calling him "Uncle Piano," and most importantly, away from Katherine. Maybe if he put space between them, the heat would cease. Or maybe the dreams would stop.
But that was impossible because not seeing her only made the yearning come tenfold. The distance made it intense.
By Thursday morning, Aaron had had enough of the distance while he stared at his ceiling and thought, Screw it. If staying away only made him crave her more, then maybe being close would... help, right?
That’s when the spontaneous idea came to him—a weekend camping trip. Something simple that would put them in nature. And maybe it would calm the storm inside him.
