The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden) novel Chapter 68

Sophie’s pov

Even though my body burned with heat and was in need of him to continue, at least my mind told me to stop. It screamed it actually.

I couldn’t fall for his tricks anymore, I had to be strong for my son and focus on him. Not my feelings for his father that always

hurt me.

“Stop,” | whispered clutching his hand and peeling them away from me. Aiden stiffens, perhaps surprised that I told him to stop his advances.

He’s still breathing roughly in my ear and I clench my eyes tightly before turning around to face him and whispered so only he alone can hear

“Don’t think that you can use me as you please now that we have a son together. I’ll never let you touch me again Aiden.”

I stopped feeling the soft feathering of his hot breath brush

ing against my neck and behind my ear. It seems Aiden had stopped breathing altogether.

I wait for him to tell me something that would hurt me like he’d usually do when he retaliated. But nothing comes out.

He only grips my waist with both hands and pushes me off his lap to sit beside him. He scoots away, taking his warmth with him.

I gnaw on my lips as I look over at him beneath my lashes. I feel cold with him being far away from me but I know it is for the best.

Saying no to him once was already so much effort, saying no to him twice…..I didn’t think I’d be able to. Not with the way he still manages to make my heart pound with just one look.

Aiden’s jaw is clenched hard and his gaze was faced for ward. He clearly was not in the mood to look over at me even though I knew he could sense my gaze.

I tore my gaze away when his jaw popped again.

The drive to Harrington.co was silent but so awkward that was practically itching to get out and away from him.

When we pulled up into the huge private driveway, I nearly thanked God aloud. Because even though I was currently not dressed to be seen outside, at least I would finally breathe prop erly now that Aiden and I won’t have to be so close anymore.

As soon as the SUV stopped and was parked, I got ready to literally jump out of the car. But when my fingers touched the door handle, his warm fingers wrapped around my arm and stopped me.

“Wait in here.” He said stiffly which had my brows furrowing

in confusion.

Did he change his mind about making me be seen in these lounge clothes? Did he finally come to his senses?

Feeling eager that perhaps he would ask the chauffeur to

turn back around and bring me back home, I nodded.

Aiden opened the door and got out which fill my confusion even more. My eyes followed him as he walked around the car

and got to my side.

My brows pinched when he stops and then when he opens the door realization hit me.

He didn’t tell me to stay in the car because he finally got to his senses and would tell his driver to bring me back home. No. Aiden just wanted to seem like a gentleman.

Gentleman my ass.

He outstretched his hand for me to take and I glared at it in

anger.

How dare he get my hopes up.

With a defiant tilt of my chin, I stepped out of the car without taking his hand. My bare feet touch the pavement and I wince.

Aiden really brought me here looking like a damn homeless person.

He snorted when I didn’t acknowledge his waiting hand and then closed the door.

I turned around to look at my reflection through the glass and cringe at how messy my hair looked. Thank God I at least show ered.

“I’m going to make you pay for this Aiden,” I promised, turn ing around to glare at him.

With a raised brow. “Have you not made me pay enough?”

I flinched feeling like he just slapped me. I knew what he was

getting at. And knew that he got the exact reaction he needed

from me.
