The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

After I helped Aiden with his bruised jaw and burst open lip, we both took a warm shower together after checking up on Ashton.

When we were done, we both crawled into the bed, Aiden behind me while I’m beside Ash.

Aiden’s arm slings around my middle and he holds my stomach, his thumb flickering soothing circles on my skin.

“Sophie.” He whispered, his hot breath hitting the nape of my neck.

Little tiny goosebumps raise on my skin.

“Yeah?” I replied lowly as he pulled me closer to him and placed his mouth at the back of my neck.

“Is it crazy that I’ve fallen madly in love with you all over again. tonight?” He asked, his voice rocking with all the emotions I

wanted to hear.

Love was clear in his voice. That one stood out the most.

I smiled, my heart leaping. “No. It’s not crazy at all….because I’ve fallen in love with you all over again too.” I admitted.

There was just something about tonight. His words, the look in his eyes, the vulnerability, the way he took my body….

Something was different, a good different.

“I love you Sophie,” He whispered kissing my neck.
