Chapter 14
Astila hears Aisling stirring around. Smiling warmly at his ceiling. His heart is filled with excitement. His sister and uncle arrive today. He can't wait to see them. It will make him breathe easier when he returns to work tomorrow knowing that they are here. Slipping out of bed he goes to shower. When leaving his room to go into the bathroom he sees Aisling on the balcony. Her hair glistening in the sun like a coppery flame. There are times he has to catch himself to keep from the urge to
" if we don't stop now I will not be able to. " laying his forehead against hers trying to slow his breathing and his urge to burry himself deep inside of her. She takes a deep breath wanting nothing more than to press herself against his hardness to feel him against her and inside of her. Knowing that at anytime anyone could walk in on them. She moves to separate herself from him. Looking into his eyes she sees them s.h.i.+ning with desire. Quickly kissing him on the cheek before racing away down the steps.
Astila stands for a moment just watching her leave. Sighing he heads into the bathroom for a very cold shower.
Aisling leans against the wall of the kitchen breathing deeply. Her face flushed from embarra.s.sment at how brazen she just behaved. How is she going to calmly face him again after this. Shaking her head she collects herself and gets busy preparing the meal for today.
Just as she is getting the roast from the oven she hears a car pulling up. Going out to greet whoever has arrived. Walking out the back door to walk around the house she sees a large red pick up truck. Behind the drivers wheel is an older version of Astila. His hair turning grey he is still very fit and tall. The lady getting out of the pa.s.senger side is small and in stature but very fit looking unlike herself. Where Aisling has very small muscles hers are very defined. Her hair is jet black in a heavy braid down her back. She has a beautiful embroidered dress on. She stops in front of the truck looking at the trees on the left of the drive. Just as Aisling goes to greet them Astila rushes out the front door jumping off the porch clearing the four steps as if they were not even there. Picking her up and swinging her around like she was a child. She squealed with delight. Hugging her brother tightly. The older gentleman just shakes his head and clears his throat.
"Children control yourselves and have some manners. Astila why don't you introduce us to this lovely girl behind you." He looks at her with admiration in his eyes.
"Edutsi this is Aisling Hawkins-Wilson. She is the owner of the house you will be staying in. Her uncle is Commander Wilson. Aisling this is my uncle Inola and my sister Salali. " he smiles warmly at Aisling not hiding his feelings in front of his family. Aisling nods with respect towards the gentleman.
"It is my pleasure to have you in my home. If you need anything do not hesitate to ask for it. I have prepared a roast with root vegetables and apple pie for dinner. My family will be here soon to eat. Would you like to come inside to rest before dinner is ready.
"No need we are fine we would like to get our things out of the way if you don't mind. " He smiles at her he can feel that her welcome and kindness is genuine.
"Is the commander and his wife here as well?" Salali asks as she hands the heavy large suitcase to her brother.
"They attended church this morning but you and He Jin can catch up this afternoon they are staying here as well. Aisling put you in the room on the right it has its own door to the balcony. It also adjoins with Edutsi Inola's room. " Astila explains as they carry the luggage inside.
