Secrets of Us A Forbidden Love Romance (Alina) novel Chapter 92

Make Aiden’s Morning–1

I wake up to warmth. Immediately, a smile spreads across my lips, even though I don’t fully know why.

That is until I feel the clench of Zaid’s arm around my waist. I’m fully aware of his steady heat and the sound of his heartbeat at my back.

I suck in a breath, the butterflies and hunger in my stomach igniting into a tight coil of pain. It hasn’t escaped my notice that I haven’t reached an orgasm at his hands and my body is angry at that.

I thought after coming after me all this time that he would take me as soon as possible. For a moment, I quiet my heartbeat and focus on the morning light filtering through the

curtains.

The ache in my bones comes to life then and I slowly, quietly, turn in his arms to face

him.

My gaze drifts over him, drinking him in now that he’s still. His dark hair is a mess against the pillow, thick lashes casting shadows over his cheekbones. The raven tattoo behind his ear peeks through strands of his hair.

His sharp jawline is slack in sleep, lips slightly parted. He looks like something carved from stone, like he was made to be admired.

I don’t want to move. Don’t want to do anything but stay curled up in the sheets that

smell like him.

But there’s this tension thrumming under my skin, a need that isn’t satisfied by just lying

here next to him.

It’s frustrating.

He’s frustrating.

My breathing turns heavy, and just as I’m about to turn away, I see the faintest quirk of his lips.

I freeze. “How long have you been awake?”

Make Aiden’s Morning–1

His smile widens, slow. Then, his dark eyes open, locking onto mine.

I forget how to breathe. It’s unfair, the way he looks at me, like he’s unraveling every inch of me with just one glance. Like he already knows what I want before I even say it.

“Long enough to know that you’re frustrated.” His fingers skim up my arm, tracing heat along my skin, and then he cups my jaw, tilting my face toward his. His thumb brushes over my bottom lip, and my stomach flips.
