The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden)

Chapter 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.

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.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

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.

My eyes follow the two women and when they disappear inside his office, I turn to face his back.

“Aiden I can’t accept these clothes-

I’m cut off by his exaggerated sigh.

“Are you going to go on a rant again? It’s either you want to stay in the clothes you have on now or

accept one of these.” He grumbles coldly and strides over to his office with- out turning around to look

at me.

He must be upset that I stopped him. Why else would he be so cold now?

I shook my head.

Men get angry when they can’t have what they want.

I was not obligated to kiss him and give him what he

wanted.

I followed after him and when I do enter his office I felt al- most claustrophobic when everyone’s eyes

sweep over to me.

I shifted on my feet and smiled at the women who brought in the clothes rack.

“We brought many options for you miss.” One of the women said as she rolled her eyes over my figure.

I shifted a bit, uncomfortable at her judgemental stare.

“We’ll take them all, you three may leave,” Aiden grumbles and glared at the woman who looked at me

like I had just crawled out of the gutter.

They scurried out of the office and I turned to Aiden, my eyes wide and my brows lifted. “Aiden….you

cannot be seri- ous. Why would you take them all? I can’t possibly pay you back after-

Aiden’s stormy gaze falls on me and I stopped breathing altogether when I see the frustration and

anger in his voice.

“Who said you had to pay me back Sophie? Can I not just gift my son’s mother some clothes and a

car? Why is it so dif- ficult to accept a gift from me?!” He scowls.

I flinched but then lifted my chin up and glared at him. “Because I want to be independent Aiden! Why

is it so hard for you to understand that I don’t need nor want your help? Sure you’re Ashton’s dad but I

don’t need your help, he does but not me.”

Aiden’s eyes narrowed. “The car would benefit Ashton too, it’s not only you. And was it not you that

was complaining about leaving your apartment looking like….what was the

name….a bozo?”

“Yes but I was not expecting you to actually buy all these clothes Aiden!” I throw my hands up in

frustration.

Aiden shook his head. “Look. I think we’ve argued way too much today Sophie and I know you don’t

like that as much as I do. Just choose any of the suits or dresses and you can go back to work.”

A knock sounds at his door before I can respond and he tells whoever to enter.

A man with a very serious face pushes the door open and looks at Aiden expectantly.

him.

“You’re late.” Aiden grits out to the man and approaches

He hands out the papers in his hand to the serious-look- ing man and nodded. “Tell Sergio all is in

there.”

The man nods and leaves the office soon after.

Aiden closed the door after the man leaves and turns around slowly. When he noticed that I was just

standing there, his brow arched and he asked. “Aren’t you going to pick one of the clothes Sophie? Or

are you waiting for me to demand you to strip?”

Aiden chuckles when he sees my shocked expression and walks over to the clothes rack. “Or maybe

you’re waiting for me to choose one for you….hmmm let me see. What will suit mama bear…” He

trailed off while shifting through the endless clothes on the rack.

It’s amazing how he can switch off his anger one moment and the next he can be someone completely

different…..

Aiden pulls out a cream-colored dress that had a high split to the side. It was beautiful.

He looks over at me, his eyes shining. “I think this will suit your curves well mama bear. Definitely will

hug you in all the right places.” He teased while walking over to me with the dress in his hand.
