Chapter 621 - Up to the mountains (1/2)

Sarah was overwhelmed by the intensity of Aiden's kiss. As if he poured all his emotions into that slow, sensual, deep kiss which made her dizzy. He tasted sweet and a bit coopery. Sarah remembered that she bit his lips and that he is bleeding, and she felt guilty.

”Are your lips OK?” She whispered breathlessly while glancing at his lips.

Smile appeared on his face. ”I can take this little suffering in exchange for tasting the woman I love…” And he kissed her again.

This was the only way to calm her trembling heart. Only when she felt him holding her, his body pressing on hers, would she feel at ease knowing that he is right next to her.

His hands sneaked under her clothes and he knew exactly where to touch, and which buttons to press to make her lose herself. And she needed that. She needed to melt in his embrace, to feel him all around her. To inhale his scent and feel his intensity… To know that he is with her, holding her. To know that he needs her just how much she needs him, and that he is not going away.

Aiden devoured her over and over again. He had a need to feel her, and to make her feel him with a hope that his presence erases her doubts about their relationship and his intentions. He needs to make her believe in him. To believe that they will not be separated. Because he is not sure if he can handle to see her look at him again with that fear in her eyes.

They spent most of the night making love in the master closet.

Sarah asked Eve to unlock inside doors of the house and they went up to the kitchen to eat.

Aiden was happy to hear Sarah praise the food he made for her.

Almost-full moon reflected on the surface of the ocean and it provided a breathtaking view.

Aiden liked that Sarah was wearing only his T-shirt. He pointed out that two of them together make one perfect because he was wearing only his pajama bottom.

As promised, she helped him pack the suitcase.

Aiden asked Sarah to give him privileges to Eve back, and she refused. He used that as an excuse to tackle her on the bed and to start another long round of lovemaking.

…

Next morning…

Jeff and JoAnna are in the back of the car, heading to the airport.

”Did you pack matching red scarves?”, Jeff asked.

”Yes.”, JoAnna patiently responded to all his questions.

”The ones with our initials?”

”Do we have any other matching red scarves?”

”No.”, Jeff admitted. ”And did you…”

JoAnna covered Jeff's mouth with her hand to stop him from asking more questions. ”I packed everything that was on the sofa for packing. If it was not there, it's not packed. We got underwear, socks, pants, sweaters and toiletries as well as chargers for our phones. Even our matching fuzzy slippers are packed. Jackets and winter boots are waiting for us in the airplane. If anything else is missing, we will manage.”

She slowly removed her hand. ”If you are this nervous about me packing for both of us, next time you pack things. OK?” Jeff held her hand and kissed her palm.

He lowered her hand pressing it over his chest, down his abdomen and said with a cheeky smile: ”I love when you handle my things.”

JoAnna laughed. ”Mr. White, it is my pleasure to handle your things.”

They flirted and teased each other until they reached the airport.
