The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

My body felt a bit sore when I awoke. I took note that Ash and Aiden’s presence wasn’t beside me on the bed.

My missing guys were either in the kitchen making breakfast like the last time, or judging by the faint sound of the television playing, was watching some cartoon show.

I rolled around, my body aching.

My body was sore because Aiden and I made love for a good couple of hours before retiring to bed.

I shifted around, sniffling as my nose throbbed a little.

Was I coming down with a cold?

I groaned, stretching my arms up, moaning as I felt my stiff back groan and c*ack.

I was definitely coming down with something.

I sneezed, and quickly rolled out of the bed and strolled to the bathroom lousily to get some tissue to clean my nose.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror, wincing when my eyes zoomed in on my red nose and messy hair.

I had caught a cold and it was perhaps because of the cold pool water yesterday and being taken on the tiles that were not warm either.

I sniffed and cleaned up my nose. Throwing the tissue in the

toilet, I flushed it down.

Even though I caught a cold, I didn’t regret anything yesterday. Aiden had held up to his promise to show me how much he loved me. And oddly I felt it.
