Aden Arrington is quite simply the most beautiful sight I've beholden in many, many months. His eyes crinkle with joy as he opens his arms to me. I don't hesitate to run and throw myself into them.

Wow, his touch is so warm

Wow, his touch is so warm. I don't care that my boobs are practically in his face; I have been dreaming of this moment for what seems like forever.

My feet are no longer on the ground and I've been pushed straight into his semi-wet hair. It smells amazing - of cedar or sandalwood. It's not his cologne - but whatever it is, has become one of my favourite scents in the world.

As I thread my fingers through his tresses, I feel his grip loosening. I clutch him harder, begging to remain on top of him. Danatha steps into view, giggling.

"I'll just let myself in then."

That prompts me to slide off Aden. I watch his face as he studies mine, memorising it all over again. I sigh. These green eyes call me in a way that the ones on the wall of my bedroom never will.

Right now, I know I love him. It's done. I love everything about him: the way his eyes move about my face, the way his nose moves slightly when his lips do and those lips - heaven, have mercy. I hold his face and smooth his barely-there stubble.

I have to kiss him. I need to. I inhale and move my face closer, searching his eyes then moving mine to their primary target. He wants me; his heavy breathing tells me so. His arms go around my waist, pulling me to him.

I go press my lips to his as his strain to mine. He grazes my lips slowly, biting the bottom one playfully. I don't know how much time we spend waiting for one of us to make a move, but it must have been too long because we hear a voice calling out.

"Come on you two!" yells Callisto. "You'd think they're paying him to kiss that girl."

"Uh..." Jude laughs.

I let go and look behind Aden. Jude, Callisto and Danatha are standing by the door, sniggering.

"Don't worry about that." Aden swivels. "Callisto fancies himself a comedian from time to time."
