The Best Friend's Contract novel Chapter 72

My wavy hair falls down onto my chest before I begin to mess around with it, wanting to make myself appear sexy; something I want to make sure I have than just imagining if I do. Noah called me sexy and beautiful more than once when we were together, I'm pretty sure he meant every word. So, I must have those qualities.

I turn to the side before gazing down at my hips and down to my legs again, standing in perfect posture to reveal my breasts and butt instead of looking like I have a hunched back.

As I lean back towards the closet, I bump into the nearest dresser which causes a couple of my bracelets to fall down onto the ground. I groan before leaning down to grab them, letting my body curve as I stand up straight; feeling confidently sexy in this lingerie.

''Special night?'' A familiar voice asks from behind which causes my eyes to widen.

I immediately turn around to see Aidan standing by the door with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows and his first button undone. Both of his eyes are glancing down at my body, staring a bit longer than necessary at my lips before meeting my eyes again; causing my heart to feel like it's going to thump out of my chest.

''You weren't home,'' I mutter as I lean back.

''I just got home. Why are you in that?'' He asks, this time, looking only into my eyes without gazing or glancing at other parts of my body but as I pay a closer look at him, I see how his jaw is clenched and his body is a bit tense; which is a good sign, right? He's attracted to me.

Should I let mission Kenmitri start or should I just run back into the walk-in closet and pretend that this never happened? It's starting to become a life and death decision, for some reason.

''I . . . I was just trying it out because I was alone at home until you came back which is a surprise because I didn't know and if I did, I wouldn't be standing here in my lingerie. Also, why are you in my room?'' I reply before questioning him back.

He clears his throat as he cross his arms, ''I needed to talk to you about something but I seem to have forgotten all about it as soon as I walked in and see you in that,'' He answers with a sly smirk on his face without moving away from the door.

''You like seeing me in this?'' I raise an eyebrow, purposely lowering my voice at my question.

His lips curve up into a grin, ''I love seeing you in that and I'd love it more if I get to see you out of that. It blocks the beautiful view, doesn't it?'' The way he says those words, he's calm and it's making me question on whether the Aidan standing by the door is still my best friend or another version of Aidan which represents my husband.

Slowly but surely, I begin to make my way towards him as he continues to eye me without even bothered to blink or move. The way he looks at me starts to make me feel hot and it's somehow bothering me than bothering him but by the way he stands there without any intention of moving, it's beginning to make me tremble.

Once we're close enough, he gazes down at my lips before looking back into my blue eyes, ''I know what you're doing.'' He mutters but loud enough for me to hear as we both stare back into each other's eyes without looking away.

''What am I doing?'' I ask, slowly.

He chuckles lightly, ''Be careful, Kenna. I don't want you to do things you might regret because once I start, I'm not the man to stop.'' His words sound deeper and huskier in my ears as I find myself leaning closer towards him.
