The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

They always say there is a kind soul in.a once cold heart. But maybe that was my own saying, but I sure as hell believed it

now.

As Aiden’s words brush against my eardrums, my body sang with warmth. His once cold heart would never be able to do this, nor will he ever say such words so warmly.

I closed my eyes for a few, savoring the feel of his warm fingers on my waist and then leaned down, Ashton’s head going forward as well.

I puckered up my lip and then said a wish inwardly before blowing out the candle. Today wasn’t my birthday but this was one of the sweetest surprises I had ever gotten.

Aiden keeps surprising me with these gestures.

Peeling my eyes open, I straightened and turned around in his arms. He hugs me and Ash, kissing my head and leaving his nose buried in my hair. I can hear him sniff and he murmured above my head.

“You smell like home,” He kissed my head again, lingering his lips there.

His words had my heart racing and had tingles running down my spine. I rest my head on his chest, holding Ash on my hip. We stayed like this for a few until Aiden hears the rude rumbling of my stomach.

He pulls away. “Forgive me for forgetting about your stomach. baby. Let me plate some of those waffles and strawberries for you quickly.”

I nod and he leaves to do just that.

“Have a taste of the cupcake baby and tell me what you think.”

I turn back to the cupcake and pulled the candle out of it. Setting the candle down, I picked up the cupcake and bit into

it.

The sweet taste of the chocolate icing was the first thing my taste buds picked up on, and then the flavor of the cake burst on my tomgue….

I forced myself to swallow it and looked at Aiden whose back is mirroring me. His toned back muscles flexed and I had to force my eyes away from his back to focus.
