Sophie’s pov
After I helped Aiden with his bruised jaw and burst open lip, we both took a warm shower together after checking up on Ashton.
When we were done, we both crawled into the bed, Aiden behind me while I’m beside Ash.
Aiden’s arm slings around my middle and he holds my stomach, his thumb flickering soothing circles on my skin.
“Sophie.” He whispered, his hot breath hitting the nape of my neck.
Little tiny goosebumps raise on my skin.
“Yeah?” I replied lowly as he pulled me closer to him and placed his mouth at the back of my neck.
“Is it crazy that I’ve fallen madly in love with you all over again. tonight?” He asked, his voice rocking with all the emotions I
wanted to hear.
Love was clear in his voice. That one stood out the most.
I smiled, my heart leaping. “No. It’s not crazy at all….because I’ve fallen in love with you all over again too.” I admitted.
There was just something about tonight. His words, the look in his eyes, the vulnerability, the way he took my body….
Something was different, a good different.
“I love you Sophie,” He whispered kissing my neck.
I closed my eyes for a few, reveling in the sensation of his
tender kiss.
“I love you too Aiden,” Those three words I have never said to any other man tumbled out of my mouth.
They felt right. They felt true.
Aiden pulls me even closer, spooning me and kisses my neck again. “I love it when you smell like me.” He confessed with a tiny moan.
I cracked a grin. I had no shower gel or shampoo that I brought with me because I didn’t know I’d spend the night here. So I had to use his.
And now I smell like Aiden.
Weirdly, I think I love smelling like him too.
Seconds later after his confession a light snore slipped out his throat. He had fallen asleep.
And I was close too. With a grin still curving my lips, I fell asleep right after Aiden and woke up by the crack of dawn.
Aiden arm was still looped around me when I woke up. Ashton had managed to roll a bit further away from us which wasn’t much of a surprise. Somehow he loved sleeping close to edge but magically never topple to the floor.
Aiden’s arm suddenly tightened around my stomach and he groan softly. “Go back to sleep mama bear.”
It was like his command took over my body because soon after I fell back asleep and woke up when the sun was streaming through the half open blinds.
I narrowed my eyes and rolled over then froze when I saw the bed completely empty. No signs of Ashton or Aiden.
My heart leapt rapidly.
In a bit of a haze from being a little bit exhausted still, I got off the bed, not even wincing when my bare feet touched the cold tiles and sped out the door.
