The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

My stomach knots and my throat hurts. I swallowed the lump tickling in my throat and stared at his arrogant face.

He’s looking at me with a raised brow, his eyes growing confused when I hadn’t answered him right away.

Did he c*m inside her too?

Did he stare into her eyes like he did me?

I moved around the desk ready to walk away from him but fingers warm and long wrap around my upper arm and stopped me.

I keep my head away from his face, not wanting to look into the eyes I’ve drowned into many times.

His eyes are piercing through the side of my face and I hold in my shiver. I gnaw on my lips and waited with battered breath to see what he would do or say next. With Aiden, things were a bit unpredictable.

He steps closer to me, his stomach brushing against my upper arm. I stiffen, my heart skyrocketing. “Sophie,” He breathed out my name above my head.

His grip around my arm tightens. “What’s wrong?”
