Chapter 46 - Destiny? (1/2)

Sarah and Aiden are in her bathroom, sitting in the large tub filled with hot water. Bubbles are covering the surface.

His back is leaning on the tub edge, and she is sitting between his legs with her back against his chest. They are holding hands with fingers interlocked.

Sarah is enjoying the moment. The feeling of his toned chest against her back makes her aware of his attractive masculinity. Sarah is reflecting on how comfortable she is when they are together. She feels connected to him in a way that transcends physical connection.

”Do you believe in destiny?”, Sarah broke the silence.

”Destiny?”

”Yes. The thing that is meant to happen, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it. And when it does happen, everything feels right.”

”Why would you ask me such a thing?”

”Until few weeks ago I would say that there is no such thing as destiny. That we are all masters of our lives and that everything depends on our actions, or lack of it.

But I can't help but wonder: why did I not push you away? It goes against everything I did so far, and still I let you in. And why does it feel so good to be with you? Why does it feel like everything will be OK as long as we are together? When you are with me, I feel complete. Like I found a piece of me that I never knew was missing. Is this destiny?”

Aiden held his breath while her words reached him. It was like she was voicing his thoughts. He was stunned for a moment before responding, ”Mmm... if that is destiny, then I approve it.” He lightly kissed her shoulder and rested his chin on it while thinking how it is possible that she is thinking the same thing that is on his mind. 'Is it possible that thoughts of two different people are so much in sync?'

She laughed, ”See? I'm so comfortable with you, that I don't even mind saying all these crazy things at loud.”

”I like when you speak what's on your mind. Even if it's something crazy, I hope you don't have a need to hide things from me.”, he kissed her shoulder again.

Sarah took a deep breath. She remembered what she found out about Philip and Mimi, and that she didn't tell him about that. Guilt rose inside her. 'I will tell him about it, but not now. It would ruin the moment.' Sarah moved her body and turned around to face him. Her eyebrows were creased, ”That... I need to show you something later.”

”OK”, he said as planted a kiss between her eyebrows. Her face relaxed. Aiden moved his body toward Sarah and kissed her on the lips. As their kisses intensified, her legs wrapped around his waist. They kissed passionately, before he moved his lips down her neck, over her collarbones and went lower. Feeling that he can't hold himself back much longer, Aiden lifted her up and carried her to the bed.

”Ah... the bed will get wet... Where will I sleep tonight?”, Sarah said while catching her breath.

”You will sleep with me”, his voice was muffled between kisses.

”Mmm, true”, she responded before surrendering herself to his embrace.

...

It was almost time for guests to start arriving.

Aiden went to guest room to get ready. Sarah was in her room, in front of the mirror, checking out her look. She dressed up into blue jeans and a purple sweater. Her hair was pulled into a high ponytail. She likes to keep it simple.

Sarah felt uneasy and was not sure what is causing it. 'Probably stress before party. I don't like most of these people. I wish they don't come, and I can spend the evening with Aiden.'

”Eve”, Sarah called out.

”Yes, master”

”Monitor the party tonight and let me know if you notice anything unusual.”

”Do I use usual level for house parties?” Eve's voice had a slight echo.

”Yes.” Sarah knows that among her generation, many people from affluent families use drugs. Because of that they might steal and get violent. She didn't want any of those in her home. If something happened during a party they hosted, it will be linked with them even if they had nothing to do with that. Due to Eve's watchful 'eye', several times in the past Sarah was able to prevent incidents from escalating.

”I will carry my Bluetooth earpiece, as usual. If you notice any of those today, let me know.”, Sarah pulled a small device out of her desk drawer and attached it to her ear.

”Yes, master.” Few seconds later Eve spoke again. ”Drugs noticed one hour and twenty six minutes ago.”

”Where? Who?” Sarah was surprised.

”Second guest bedroom. Lexi used drugs on Mr. Owen.”
