Secrets of Us A Forbidden Love Romance (Alina) novel Chapter 95

As He Sleeps–1

I stare at myself in the mirror as I get ready for bed, braiding my hair and throwing it over my shoulder. I tell myself I’m not doing this to get back at him.

Not really.

But as I slip out of my room, the hem of Aiden’s large shirt brushes against my thighs and all I can think about is Zaid. I’m buried in my thoughts as I walk, remembering his kisses and his lips all over me.

The way his hands feel when he brushes them against my spine and my skin.

I want him more than I can put into words.

I’m so in my thoughts that I don’t see him. I bump right into him and he does nothing to steady me. He’s leaning against the wall, his arms crossed on his chest like he’s been

waiting for me.

I look up, and Zaid’s dark eyes watch me. His black sweatpants hang low on his hips, and his shirtless torso is all taut muscles and scars.

He’s so beautiful.

I ignore the heat pooling low in my stomach and raise my head high, walking past him. I keep my feet light against the floor as I turn toward Aiden’s room.

Something in me makes me look at Zaid over my shoulder and the fire inside me triples when his lips twitch, his brow arching as if he’s both surprised and amused.

I stop in front of Aiden’s door, gripping the handle. “Good night, Zaid.”

His smirk deepens, his gaze dragging over me, slow and knowing. “Good night, love.”

My stomach clenches, my body shudders, but I push past it. I turn from him, twisting the knob and slipping inside, shutting the door behind me.

I exhale slowly, my hands curling into fists.

I’m not doing this to get back at him.

As He Sleeps 1

I’m not.

I want Aiden.

1 turn, my eyes adjusting to the darkness of Aiden’s room. He only has his bedside lamp on, and it immediately sets the mood. Aiden is sitting on the edge of his bed like he’s

1. me. “Do you want me to fuck you, baby?”
