The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden) novel Chapter 104

Sophie’s pov

Is he seriously trying to get down and dirty with an aching dick?

I looked at Aiden like he had completely lost his mind.

Honestly, I think he did. How can he think of sex in his situation?

Suddenly Aiden snorted and chuckled louder. “Your mind had wandered to that place where you’re moaning didn’t it?” He asked in amusement.

Realizing that he was only joking, I smacked his thigh. “Be fucking serious for once Aiden!” I snapped and rolled my eyes yet bit the inside of my bottom lip to stop myself from smiling.

He shrugged. “I had to crack that tension somehow.”

I rolled my eyes and told him to hold the pack of peas when Ashton starts to stir.

Aiden turns around to watch me and his son on the bed with a

small smile on his face.

I was trying to get Ashton to go back to sleep.

But when I noticed Aiden’s stare, I got nervous and asked. “What?”

I tucked my hair behind my ear and ripped my gaze from his.

“You’re a good mom.” He said with honesty swimming in his

voice.

His words had my heart fluttering lightly.

I blushed because of his words and the weight of his stare.

“Thank you,” I whispered.

Suddenly he questioned. “Was it hard raising him alone?”

I had not expected his question and it rendered me a bit speechless. I’m trying to regain my speech as his eyes had not once left my face.

I took in a calming breath and answered him honestly. “At first. I was a new mom and I didn’t know what to do. My foster mom who never had a baby of her own wasn’t that much educated in the breastfeeding department. It took a lot of trial and errors to get it right. A few months after giving birth to him was the worst. My body changed, my hormones, and I found myself going through postpartum depression.”

I looked at him and continued. “It didn’t help that I couldn’t work to help with the bills and food. Mila and Ria did it all on their own. It was kind of difficult to save for pampers and necessities at a point. Newborn stuff was really expensive. It was hard to get everything he needed. ”

I tore my eyes away from his when his eyes began to storm. I knew I shouldn’t have told him those parts. Now he’d be even angrier at me for keeping Ashton’s existence from him.

“But those few months were also the best. I got to learn many things about being a mom. What it takes to be one. It wasn’t

an easy job,” My eyes fall on my sleeping son, and I rake my fingers through his soft hair.

“But it was rewarding. Especially having to see his happy face every day. Ashton was not a fussy baby and he made the journey easier.” I smiled at my son who was the exact replica of his father who sat watching us without a flicker of his eyes.

My heart panged and I let out a heavy breath while sweeping my gaze back to him. “I’m so sorry I made you miss all those times Aiden. If I could go back in time I would. I now know what a huge mistake I made in the past and promise to not do it again.”

Aiden looks at me intensely for a silent few and then

murmured. “You’re a strong woman Sophie. Especially having to take care of Ashton all on your own as a teen mother. There are things I regret in my past, but being with you and creating him was not one of them. I’m happy it’s with you and not anyone else.” He admitted, his eyes falling on Ashton.
