My Childhood Bully is a Mafia Boss-Chapter 30

Ivy, back then, continues...

"Tell me what’s on your mind, Aidan," I urged him.

"Things are pretty messed up right now," he continued. "My dad...he...."

His words hung there, suspended in the space between us. I could sense the careful construction of his walls crumbling, revealing the raw and unguarded truth of his insecurities.

"I know, Aidan," I managed to say, my own voice barely above a whisper, not wanting to disturb the fragile quiet of our conversation.

"Nobody knows, Ivy. It’s... hard, you know? To keep pretending everything’s alright when it feels like everything’s falling apart."

I nodded, even though I knew he couldn’t see it. "I saw how he treated you," I said, wishing I could find the right words to soothe the turmoil he was expressing. "Those bruises on your face hurts me too. Can’t you just leave?"

"I can’t leave Ellie. She needs me," Aidan said grimly.

"Hey," I said softly, reaching out through the water to find his hand—our fingers brushing before I took a gentle hold. "You’re not alone in this. Okay?"

His grip tightened on mine, and I could feel the tremble in his touch.

He suddenly straightened up and stood in the water, so I did the same. "You will never understand, Ivy. Your parents are amazing."

I swam closer to him, our chests almost touching. "They are. They love me, and they never hurt me like yours do. But that doesn’t mean I can’t share your pain, Aidan."

He brushes a strand of hair away from my neck, his touch making me shiver. "Right, because you are my friend."

I smiled. "You got that right."

"And as my friend, you should tell me all of your secrets," he said, smirking devilishly.

I squinted at him. "What secret?"

"While I was flipping through your diary, I saw something that caught my eyes," he said.

I shifted uncomfortably. "What’s that."

Aidan leaned over as if he wanted to whisper something in my ears. "You, Ivy, Williams, never touched yourself."

I gasped and reflexively pushed him away. "Aidan! You pervert!"

The sound of his laughter echoed through the empty building. For a brief, fleeting moment, it felt like we were the only two people in the world.

"What? You were the one who wrote that in your diary. You naughty girl," Aidan said.

"The diary you were never supposed to read!" I reminded him.

"But I read it, and now I can’t stop thinking about it. My poor Ivy...has no idea about the joy of self-pleasure," he teased.

"Aidan! Stop it!" I said, my cheeks on fire.

"No need to be so embarrassed. It’s a natural thing to worry about. Us humans have needs," he said in a lecturing manner.

I rolled my eyes.

"You know," Aidan said, his voice low and husky as he moved closer to me. "I can show you if you want."

My heart was pounding so hard in my chest, I could barely think straight. "You’re joking right?"

"Do I look like I’m joking?" he asked, smirking.

I could only gape at him, at a loss for words.

"What better time than now," he said. "No one’s here but us. You can always pretend it never happened tomorrow."

I bit my lower lip, my mind whirling with thoughts of what to do. "What if someone sees us?"

Aidan chuckled and grabbed my hand. "No one will"

Wait...what was I saying? Was I seriously considering him teaching me how to...

"I can almost hear the wheels turning your brain, Williams. Don’t overthink it. This will be more of an educational experience," he declared.

"A...an...edu..." I stuttered.

"Jeez...Ivy. You look like you are about to have a seizure. Forget it. I don’t want to force you or anything," Aidan said.

"I just...I don’t know if I can trust you," I managed to let out.

His eyes flashed. "You think I am doing this to use it against you later?"

I shook my head. "No, it’s not that," I stuttered.

"Then...?" he prodded.

"It’s just...this is...fast," I managed to admit. It’s so fast, way too fast for my liking.

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "You’re right. I’m sorry for pushing you this far. Forget I ever brought it up." He turned around abruptly, swimming his way to where we had left our things.

I quickly grabbed his arm before he could storm off. "No wait! I...I just need a minute, alright?"

Aidan stopped in his tracks and turned to me again. "Alright," he said quietly.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I could do this. It’s just Aidan, right? The same Aidan who once made my life a living hell. The same Aidan who now I trusted with my deepest secret. The same Aidan who just shared his insecurities with me.

Finally, I looked at him, my hazel eyes meeting his electric blue ones. "Alright...I...I want to try it."

Aidan’s eyes widened in surprise before a smirk appeared on his face. "That’s my girl. Stick with me, Williams. I will show you the way."

I groaned. "Please don’t make this weird."

He winked at me before grabbing my hand again, this time leading me to the shadows.

"This way, no one can see us even if they try," he said as he pulled me under the stairs.

It was so dark in here. My heart was racing, but I could feel his warm hand holding mine.

His voice cut through the silence again; "Are you sure you want to know how?" He asked quietly, making my heart jump into my throat.

"Yes," I whispered back shakily.

"And you trust me?" he queried slyly with a raised eyebrow that made him look even more dangerous than usual under this blue-tinted light coming from somewhere above us... maybe the moon?

I couldn’t tell.. But it cast a soft glow on his face, making him almost angelic... but then again, that’s probably what he wanted me to think.

"Yes," I breathed out softly, trying to sound confident even though my stomach was doing flips just from saying those words aloud.

"Alright, then close your eyes and slowly slide your hand inside your underwear," he said.

I froze at his bold command. "Excuse me?" I spluttered.

"Ivy, it’s your body, no one’s here but us. And besides," he added slyly, "what are you so afraid of? You said you wanted me to teach you."

I felt myself blushing from head to toe as he said that last part. I wanted to slap him...but intrigue was winning the battle over my sanity right now. So... reluctantly, I closed my eyes and did as he said.

Aidan’s breathing was ragged in my ear, and I could feel the heat emanating from his body. It sent shivers down my spine despite the cool air around us.

"That’s it," he breathed out softly. "Now...touch yourself...just...like this..."

His hand guided mine through my damp underwear, and I let out a gasp. I couldn’t believe I was allowing him of all people to touch me there, let alone showing me how to...to...

"I...I think I got it," I managed to say.

He chuckled, but it wasn’t his usual cocky laughter, this time it was more like mirth mixed with something else.

"Are you sure?" he teased, his voice right in my ear now.

"Y-Yes," I stuttered. "I got this."

"Show me..." he said, his husky voice practically dripping with challenge.

My cheeks were on fire as I slid my fingers down my panties, mimicking the way he had shown me earlier. A small moan escaped my lips before I could catch myself.

"Good..." he praised, his voice sending shivers down my spine. "Now move your fingers over your clit. Up and down."

This boy was corrupting me, but I couldn’t stop myself from listening to him.

I did as he said, and the sensations that coursed through my body took me by surprise. This feeling...this was what all the fuss was about.

"Faster Ivy, just like that..." he coaxed, his hand still on mine guiding my movements.

The pleasure built up inside me, and I bit my lip to muffle a moan. "I...I don’t know if it’s working. It feels good, but..."

"Shh...give it time," Aidan husked. "Maybe close your eyes and think about someone."

"Wh..who?" I breathed.

"What?" he asked as if confused.

"Who should I think about?" I asked timidly.

"Oh...right...erm...think about, I don’t know. Someone you fantasize about," he said, clearing his throat roughly afterward.

I thought about it for a moment and then closed my eyes. I pictured Aiden’s face in my mind, his intense blue eyes, and the way he looked at me when we were swimming together.

"Okay...yeah..." I whispered.

"Good, now faster. Faster, just like that," he breathed in my ear, his voice harsh and guttural.

The more I thought about him, the more the sensations intensified until I couldn’t stand it anymore.

"A..Aidan," I whimpered, arching my back slightly. "I think I’m gonna..."

"Shh... keep going," he purred against my ear, his hand still firmly guiding mine.

And then it happened. White-hot pleasure exploded through my veins, blinding me from the inside out, and my body shook with the force of my orgasm. It felt as if my bones had melted into butter as I sagged against the wall, panting heavily, trying to catch my breath.

"Well, look at that," Aidan said smugly as he let go of me. "I knew you’d like it."

I groaned and pushed against him. "I can’t believe I did this. What’s wrong with me!?"

"What? Are you embarrassed?" Aidan asked as if what we just did was nothing short of innocent.

"Yes, I am embarrassed, you idiot! This sort of thing...this was something I was supposed to do with a boyfriend and not with my former bully-turned-friend!" I growled.

"And yet, here we are," Aidan said, laughing.

I glared at him and then sighed. "If you tell anyone, I will kill you."

"Come on, Ivy. Don’t you trust me?" he asked, suddenly serious.

"Trust you? I want to, but I also remember how you treated me in the past," I snapped.

He chuckled and ruffled my hair. "You wound me, but seriously, who am I gonna tell? My drug-addict sister? I’m sure she’d be so impressed," he said with sarcasm dripping from his voice. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Your friends, of course," I said, rolling my eyes.

"Friends? They are not my real friend. You are my only friend, Ivy," he said, holding my waist and bringing me closer to him.

I was taken aback by his confession, but before I could respond, he leaned in and kissed my forehead.

"I will take our secret to the grave. But you have to make me a promise," he said, holding me close.

"What’s that?" I murmured against his chest.

"You have to promise not to abandon me. Ever," he said, his voice gruff with emotion.

"I promise," I said, hugging him back.
