“Why did you change your mind?”

“I’m finding it increasingly difficult to say no to you, princess. And I’ll be honest, I wanted you so fucking much. I hated not being able to touch you in the ways I wanted with your friends being here.”

I smiled. I wasn’t the only one suffering from the need to fuck. Aiden was like drugs. I was well and truly addicted to the feelings he gave me.

“I’m sleepy now.”

He chuckled, pulling away. I crawled out of bed, very unsteady on my feet and made it to the bathroom. On the way back, I realised I was more than a little sore. Whilst he’d been careful, both of us had gotten a little carried away in the moment.

Crawling back into bed, Aiden held me close and kissed me.

“I love you,” I whispered.

“My heart is yours, princess.”

In his own way, Aiden just told me he loved me too.

I didn’t need those three words.

All I needed was him and me.

Always.
