“Thank you for coming over for breakfast,” he said, making his way over to me.
I chewed on my lower lip. The crackle in the air was even more obvious now every time we were in the same room.
I leaned against the wall as he stopped within inches of me. The look in his eyes made my lower stomach clench with a delicious desire I longed to ease.
“I couldn’t sleep last night.”
“Me either,” I whispered.
His mouth twitched slightly. “Maybe we should make sleeping upstairs in the loft a normal thing.”
I chuckled. “Hadley would be all for that.”
His eyes turned dark. “So would I.”
Drawing in a deep breath, I started to speak, but Aiden kissed me before I could. He leaned his hands on the wall, dipped his head, and kissed me like he needed that connection, that intimacy, to survive.
My mind went blank. Knees weak. Stomach in knots.
The man couldkiss. I’d never been kissed with such passion. I could certainly get used to being greeted like this every single morning.
His arm wrapped around my back, and he pulled me flush against his body. I felt exactly how much he wanted me, and a low moan escaped my throat.
The stomps upstairs brought me back to reality. Then Hadley’s steps coming down the stairs brought Aiden back. He took a step away just in time, before Hadley came rushing into the room. I was breathing like I’d ran up the steps and back down myself.
“Emma, will you please put my hair up?” Hadley asked, holding up a hair tie and ribbon that matched her dress.
“Of course, I will,” I managed to say in a normal voice. Even though I felt far from normal. I peeked at Aiden.
He winked, and that nearly sent me into a full-on meltdown. Was it possible to swoon any harder?
Swoon. God, I’d never swooned before. Not even with Ben when we were dating. He’d never made me feel so…wanted.
I focused the best I could on Hadley’s hair and getting it styled. Just as I finished, the doorbell rang.
“That’ll be my folks.”
Hadley rushed by Aiden to the door. It wasn’t normal for me to be here on a Sunday morning, but Aiden had asked me last night to have breakfast with him and Hadley. He had made scrambled eggs for all of us with fresh-squeezed orange juice…and it was simply the best.
“Good morning!” Patty said as she waltzed into the room.
“Morning,” I said, lifting my hand in a wave. If they were surprised to see me here, they didn’t show it.
“Emma and I will be right behind you guys in a few minutes,” Aiden said before finishing off the last of his orange juice.
Thatcaught the attention of Aiden’s parents. Patty glanced between us and grinned. “Don’t rush. We’re early enough that we may swing through and get a donut.”
Hadley jumped for joy and nearly dragged her grandparents out the door. “Let’s go get a donut!”
The moment the door shut, I started to say something about grabbing my coat, but Aiden’s mouth was already back on mine. He walked me backward and pressed me against the same wall where we’d stood before. I melted into the kiss, which wasn’t soft and sweet this time, but hotter and more passionate. My entire body trembled with such a strong sense of desire, my legs felt moments from giving out.
Then he stopped as quickly as he’d begun, leaning his forehead against mine. “I’m sorry.”
With a smile, I replied, “For what?”
“Kissing you like that. You deserve more than being ravaged.”
I placed my hands on his chest, feeling his muscles flex from my touch. “I rather enjoyed being ravaged.”
