The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden) novel Chapter 71

Sophie’s pov

Suddenly I do find that the room is a little hot. And I’m this close to telling him to put the AC on a little higher even though seconds ago a chill run down my spine.

Then again I wasn’t sure if it was because of the coldness of the AC or the stare Aiden pinned me down with.

His gaze is unwavering and they’re piercing through the windows of my soul.

I’m pinching my arms because it feels like he has placed me under his spell. I can’t move, I can’t think properly. I can only just breathe.

Breathe like my life depended on it.

The tip of my tongue crawled out of my mouth to lick a trail across my bottom lip as I suddenly feel like they were dry.

They were not.

Aiden’s fingers continued to skim across the surface of the desk and as I looked down at where his fingers splayed across, I realize he hit the hammer on the nail on the right place. Because where he was touching was that exact spot he placed me on and spread my legs…….then entered me.

The exact same place he fucked me.

“Smooth surface. Smooth enough to place you on there and fuck you. At least that’s how I remember it.” He said deeply

and peeked at me from across the room.

The way he said those words…..

It was like he was inviting me to do ‘it’ again.

I sucked in a sharp breath and tried to regain my senses.

I can’t allow myself to fall for him yet again. I can’t let him hurt me again.

I was supposed to be strong. Strong for Ash. Strong for….me. I will be.

I shook my head and answered without any emotion in my voice. “And said I was a mistake. What we did was a mistake after you came inside me. At least that’s how I remembered

it.”

Something sharp passes through my heart. It seems my words hurt me more than they hurt him.

Aiden flinches when the words tumble out of my mouth which was a surprising reaction, but I wouldn’t be fooled anymore by him.

“Sophie-” He started, his fingers sliding off the surface of the desk.

I shook my head and willed my feet to move and bring me to the expensive looking lounge sofa on the left side of his desk.

I sat down and pretended to be nonchalant. “It’s in the past, just like everything else that happened between us. Now tell me what I’m here for exactly or better yet assign me something so I can remove myself from your presence.”

He looks a bit surprised by my words or perhaps my cold tone.

Did you really think you were the only one who can act cold Mr. Xavier?

I taunted inwardly as I stared at him without batting a lash.

But he regains his composure quickly, something I expected from the cold hearted Ceo he portrayed himself to be.

Aiden leans back on his desk and looks at me silently before opening his mouth to speak. “I fired Noel a few hours ago.” He started looking at me to gauge my reaction.

I am not at all surprised that he fired her since he apparently fires people like it was a game to him.

But what I didn’t get and got confused by was that he was telling me this information as if it was supposed to mean something to me.

“Why are you telling me this Aiden?” | narrowed my eyes on his handsome face and nearly melted like butter on his expensive lounge sofa when he grinned charmingly.

Calm down heart, it’s only a grin.
