The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

My heart lurches in my throat, not because I was scared for Aiden, but because I was scared for Christopher.

“Aiden, you can’t.” I whispered while shaking my head.

He tore his eyes away from mine and growled at Mitch. “Bring me to him Mitch.”

Mitch nodded, his eyes wide with alert.

I grasp Aiden’s fisted hands, and swallowed harshly. “You can’t please. I don’t want them to lock you up again.”

“It’s a bit too late for that Sophie. He touched you. He forced himself on you. That bastard needs to be taught a lesson before he’s put into jail.” Aiden muttered under his breath which was way scarier than him blasting off.

I gripped his hands harder. “Aiden, please think this through.”

I was now thinking that perhaps telling Aiden was not the best choice. Now he may actually have blood on his hands, and I would be the cause of it, yet again.

I feel my tummy twist and churn by the very thought.

“Mitch.” Aiden gritted, glaring at the seat. “Step on it.”

My heart drops. It seems that no matter what I say now, Aiden would not change his mind.

We were nearing where I met up with Christopher and I gripped Aiden’s hand tightly. “Aiden.”

Mitch stopped beside the curb and looked at Aiden through the rearview mirror. “We’re here.”

Aiden nods, peeling himself away from me.

He gets out, looking at me. “It’s either you bring me to him or I find him myself.”

I shook my head. “I’m not going to risk losing you.”

The coldness in his eyes dimmed and he looked at me tenderly. “Soph. I’ll do anything for you, you know that. But what I can’t do is sit here and let someone mistreat you like that. I swore to protect you, and that I will do.”

My heart jumps.
