He didn’t even have the time to finish speaking before Aria came against his hand, a long moan escaping her throat.
Will pulled his fingers out slowly, as she winced a little, and then moved and scooped her in his arms, hearing her sigh softly.
“Thank you for letting me do this. It was amazing, baby.” He whispered in her ear and hugged her tightly. Aria tucked her head into the crook of his neck and before long she was asleep.
Will watched her sleep for some time as Aria’s chest rose and fell and a small smile spread over her flushed face.
After a few minutes, he gently rolled her to the side and went to the bathroom to get her a glass of water and something to clean her up.
“What?” Aria mumbled, opening her eyes just a little. He shushed her and raised her head up as he tried to make her drink.
“Just cleaning you up, baby, don’t worry. Now go back to sleep, you need to rest.”
“Will you stay?” Aria asked quietly with a small flush on her cheeks.
“Of course, baby. I’m not going anywhere.”
Aria smiled at him and snuggled into his chest with one hand across it and her leg thrown between his, falling asleep immediately. Will chuckled lightly and quickly followed along with his nose full of her scent.

“And then he asked me to marry him!” Nura squealed in delight as the biggest smile spread through Aria’s face.
She had been in the middle of packing for her weekend trip with Will when Nura suddenly barged in and started screaming that she and Nate were getting married. Aria hugged her and congratulated her, feeling beyond happy for her friends.
“And you are going to be my Maid of Honor, of course. Nate had already asked Meg, so we are keeping it ‘in the family’ so to speak.” she said and giggled while Aria rolled her eyes at her.
“Of course, Nura, it will be my honor. God, I can’t believe you are getting married.” Aria said, still not quite believing that the crazy little person that she called her best friend was going to tie the knot.
“Well, start believing, because as soon as you get back from your ‘sex-fest’ in the mountains, we are starting with the planning. There is so much to do with the venue and flowers and guest list and... Oh, I can’t wait! This is going to be so much fun!” she screamed yet again, and Aria went a little pale since Nura was a hand-full on a good day and imagining her planning her wedding, sent shivers down her spine, and not of the good kind.
This was so not going to be fun.

Aria’s eyes were wide, her mouth hanging open as she stared at their fairytale surroundings. They had arrived at Will’s house in the mountains a few minutes ago and Aria was completely amazed by the place; it was breathtaking.
The house was hidden from view by a row of evergreen trees that were covered in snow, the fact that just added to the feeling of being in a fairytale. The building itself was relatively small but beautiful. Built entirely from a mix of glass and wood, it looked like a very high-end cabin.
While Will was busy with their luggage and after strongly refusing to let her help, Aria had decided to look around by herself.
The inside ended up being just as beautiful as the outside if not more. There was a small, fully functional kitchen in the corner of the open space room, with a breakfast nook made of dark wood separating it from the living area. The big, stone fireplace was at the other side of the room with a comfortable-looking, deep blue couch and accompanying armchairs surrounding it and a wooden coffee table in the middle.
Aria saw a hallway to her left and decided to go in that direction. She found two doors there; one on each side and after a thorough inspection, Aria had found that one belonged to the bathroom and the other to a beautiful, big bedroom. The room was decorated in earthy tones with an enormous, king-size bed in the center of it.
Memories of a different king-size bed and what Will did to her in it, assaulted her and she started to shiver in anticipation. Aria was surprised at how desperately she wanted them to finally have sex, but before that, she needed to do something; she needed to tell Will her story and just the thought of that made her ill.
What if Will felt disgusted by her after hearing it?
Sure, the man didn’t mind Aria’s scars, but the story behind them was on a whole other level and Aria was terrified of what his reaction would be.
Will William, upon hearing the whole story, realize that he had made a mistake? Will he leave Aria and find someone who was not as damaged and broken as she was; someone who was pure and untainted by other men.
Aria sure hoped not, because that would maybe hurt her more than what those men did. She had stupidly fallen in love with Will, and if the man suddenly decided to leave her, Aria didn’t know how she would cope.

“Is there something on your mind, baby? You look distracted.” Will asked her, as Aria flinched for being so obvious.
They were on the sofa, snuggled beneath the blankets, as they spent their time cuddling and talking. Aria had tried to participate in the conversation but the thought of what she was preparing to do lay heavy on her mind, preventing her from thinking about anything else.
Aria looked up into those beautiful green eyes that she had come to love so much and sighed. It was
