The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

His words had my breath hitching and I nervously looked away. “I uh, I’ll bring the bowl in the kitchen and I’ll come back.”

His smile widened when I had not protested to come to bed and join him and Ashton.

I took the bowl and walked out of the room quickly, my heart pounding. I lift my hand and place it on my chest. When he says things like that and looks at me the way he does, how can my foolish heart not beat and melt for him?

I let out a shaky breath and continued on my journey to the

kitchen.

“Why are you so red?” Mila questioned when she saw me.

I walked towards the kitchen quickly and placed the empty bowl in the sink while answering her. “It’s really hot in the room, forgot to put on the fan,” I lied and turned around.

“Anyway guys, I’m going to bed,” I uttered, already nearing the hallway.

“So early?” Ria questioned in confusion.

I nodded and faked a yawn. “Yes, I’m still so exhausted from all that happened today. Goodnight.” I said with a wave and scurried away before they ask more questions.

How can I tell them and confess that I wanted to sleep beside

Aiden and Ashton with a desperation I didn’t know existed?

I entered the room, which is to be expected seeing as my two boys were fast asleep.

My two boys?

Oh Sophie, you’re in trouble…..yet again.

I closed the door softly to not disturb their sleep. Aiden turns to face me, his eyes connecting with my own.

“I thought you had fallen back asleep.” I voiced my thoughts as I walked further into the room and approached the bed.

He sends me a sleepy smile. “I was waiting for you.”

My heart leaped and I couldn’t help but send him a tiny smile.

“You didn’t have to,” I murmured as I crawled onto the bed and slept facing him.
