Even though the dinner was delicious and Aiden had been on his best behaviour, I couldn't help but feel nervous around him. He was a whirlwind of emotions. He hadn't touched me in several days after our conversation. He had a habit of leaving early and returning late. We did meet together for lunch and supper on occasion, but we didn't converse much. It felt strange and frustrated at the same time. Was he sick of me already?
Almost every day, I paid a visit to senior Mr Reiner. I enjoyed his company. Second, there was nothing I could do at home. I was completely unaware of the activities of wealthy women.
I was sitting in the study on the chaise, having just ended a talk with Mike. In a few days, he'd be in Los Angeles. I sensed that I was being watched and turned to face the door. There stood Aiden watching me, I froze. I inhaled deeply and made a little motion to stand up, but his frigid eyes locked on mine.
"Don't move," he urged as he approached me. My breaths came out shallow and uncontrollably as I winced under his focused gaze. My ears were ringing with the pounding of my heart.
He came up behind me and stared me down for a few moments. On my skin, I could feel his heated breath. I protectively wrapped my arms about myself.
