The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden) novel Chapter 77

77

Sophie’s pov

His lips are warm….soft. So soft.

They taste good too. Like sweet orange. But there’s also a minty burst of flavor.

My heart is beating like a drum in my chest, my fingers shook and I’m this close to melting.

His lips move against mine tenderly yet rough. It was al- most like a punishment yet a reward.

His hands clamp around the back of my neck, his fingers gripping me there.

His mouth moves against mine so sweet and so good that I’m lost in his world, his touch, his heat, his taste.

I’m confused. I am meant to fight him on this. Pull away. Tell him to stop.

Yet….

I’m melting. I’m melting into his kiss, drowning in his taste and wishing I had the will to stop.

I can’t.

Not when he has tilted his head to kiss me deeper. Not when his grip around my neck is more firm. Not when his lips are desperate against mine.

0.00%

But then his tongue dart out to lick and nip at my bottom

lip, and then reality slammed into me.

This was wrong.

Aiden groans in impatience, his fingers around my neck forcing me to tilt my head up so he would be able to delve in deeper when I opened my mouth.

But it was too late, reality had already struck me and I had no choice but to pull away despite my body not wanting to move away from him.

He groans in disappointment but I try to not make my heart persuade me to connect our lips once more.

I was no fool and I knew that Aiden would not change. Giving into him wasn’t a good idea. Especially so early.

Not with how things turned out the last time I did.

“Don’t do that again Aiden. Like I said let’s keep this pro- fessional between us.” I said once I got my breathing under control.

He was about to open his mouth but I shook my head and spoke before he could. “At least for Ashton’s sake. We can’t risk messing this up. The main focus should be him and not

me.”

Aiden looks like he was on the verge to protest but stops when we hear the sound of the elevator dinging.

He looks at me silently for a few and decided to turn. around and leave without saying another word to me.

I wait for a few after he left to follow behind him. When I’m rearing around the corner I’m stunned to see two women

rolling in a clothing rack and one with a few shoe boxes in her arms. She could barely see what was ahead of her.

There are many suits and dresses I can spot. Many that looked worth way more than my one-year salary. I almost choked.

Was he serious?

I can’t wear such expensive clothing I can’t even dream to afford any time!

I looked over at Aiden who was speaking to one of the women and pointed her to his private office.
