He leaned down, his arm around her waist as he placed down a small kiss against Nicole's temple before taking a seat next to her.
Nicole froze, dropping the spoon back into the plate as she turned to look at him, a forced smile spreading across her face. "Morning, baby." Aiden greeted, a taunting smile across his face.
She glanced at every around the table who were mindlessly enjoying their breakfast before her eyes landed on Evora who watched the two's interaction then back to Aiden his smile still on full display.
She cringed silently. "Morning." She greeted back dryly.
She sucked her teeth, watching him dig into the food before him. Images from the previous night flooded her memory.
She closed her eyes, regret lacing her insides. She hated how much that moment had hurt her. It wasn't as if it were the first time he had done something like that, but it felt different to her.
She thought it was coming from both sides, but he clearly showed the opposite when he grabbed her, and instead of caressing her like she thought he would, he completely pushed her away.
He glanced at her, catching her in her stare. "What?" He mouthed. She scoffed, more at herself than anyone else. She got up, glancing at Evora who simply nodded, an acknowledgment for her to leave the table, but Nicole was going to leave anyway.
She turned around giving a second glance to Aiden who didn't once look up at her.
Roaming the house was somewhat calming to her. Looking through all the framed photos of the family and all the paintings hung onto the walls of the house. If you didn't look close enough, they looked like a pretty happy family.
Though the family dinner Evora had invited her to showed otherwise, even though everyone was nice to her, anyone could see there was something off about them although it was obvious about Evora.
Nicole had confirmed that the old woman was defiantly crazy.
"Nicole..." Aiden called out, walking up to her. Nicole frowned, watching him get closer. "I have been looking for you." He got visibly closer, glancing down at her. "Why'd you walk off like that?"
He watched as she took a few steps back, shifting her gaze around as she tucked a few strands of her curtain bangs away.
"Why?" She asked blatantly. "And I wasn't feeling well." She wanted to gag for actually explaining herself to him, it was defiantly out of character.
She turned around, not wanting to be around him.
Her back suddenly hit the wall. She grunted from the cold wall against her skin. "What the fuck?" She questioned, her hands hitting hard against his chest, but he didn't budge only taking a step forward.
"Or you're mad..." She stilled, feeling his fingers travel up arms, circling her shoulders. "Embarrassed." His hands travelled again down to her hips, only covered by her silk rosegold shorts. "That I didn't hold you like this." His fingers dug into her, moving to her ass.
"Mm..." He lifted her up against the wall with her arms and legs automatically circling around him. "Am I wrong?"
And for for the first time throughout their whole interaction, Nicole's eyes finally met his. The smirk only added to the smug look being displayed by him.
She scoffed. "Fuck you." She insulted, but didn't let go or make any movements to stop him.
He chuckle. "Just admit it, Nicole. Maybe, I'll give you what you want." He pressed her against the wall harder to the point where she really felt him. "Just say it."
She stared at him, feeling the words right at the tip of her tongue, but right at that moment she thought about all the times she actually said it and what he did every single time.
She glanced down at his beautiful plum lips. She glanced back to his eyes, feeling herself lean in.
Aiden didn't want to admit it, but the way their lips slowly grazed against each other drove him crazy.
Even last night, it took basically everything he had to push her away. their were many times where he almost gave in. She was slowly seducing him and she didn't even know.
He can't even sleep next to her without having addictive thoughts about how she would feel.
Nicole felt him grip harder, his hand travelling over her thigh.
They were now mere inches away from each other, just a little more and their lips would connect and it looked like he was really going for it, but just before it could happen, Nicole whispered. "Go fuck yourself."
