The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

‘Who was it?” I questioned when Aiden ends the call and pushes the phone back into

his pocket.

‘No one important, just a damn reporter. They asked for information about my arrest.”

His jaw popped when he responded stiffly.

I sighed, resting my head on his shoulder. ‘At least they haven’t asked you about your

alleged marriage contract to Lillian.’ I grumble bitterly.

He kissed my head. “Don’t worry about that stupid fraudulent contract baby, I promise

to fix it. And then we’ll get married.” He squeezed my hand, kissing my head again.

*1 can’t wait to see you walk down the aisle. I’ve been dreaming about this day since I

first set my eyes on you back then.” He brushes his fingers through my hair tenderly.

We were so calm here you’d think that Aiden had not just come back from a fight with

Sergio and he had not just been out of jail.

When we were in each other’s arms, I realized that nothing truly mattered. There was

always some kind of peace between us.

Something that could ease me.

With another kiss on my head, I fell asleep in his hold.

I woke up when Aiden breathed beside my ear lightly. “We’re home baby.”

It takes me a second to realize I am already in his arms and we were already in front

of the door.

I blinked.

I didn’t even feel when he put me in his arms…..

’Was I sleeping for long?” I questioned embarrassed.

With all that went on today, I had the audacity to fall asleep…….

Aiden smiled down at me warmly, kissing the tip of my nose. “I love hearing your light

snores.’ He teased. “But you do weigh a ton.” He chuckled.

I glared at him playfully. ’ Put me down.”
