Chapter 648 - Back on the island in the Adriatic Sea (1) (2/2)

Sarah told herself that his reasoning makes sense and that the more they delay, the better it will be… And he is more than great with everything: he indulges her, pampers her, takes her places, makes her feel like she is the most important person in the world… but the furthest they go are hugs and kisses. It would not be this difficult if they didn't make love countless times before… She can't even remember last time they did it! Sarah groaned and banged her fist on the shower wall in frustration while warm water slid down her body.

Aiden listened to the sound of water running from the bathroom and held his face in his palms. It's not that he does not want to… but this is not the time. Sarah still has nightmares, and he wants to make sure they disappear completely, and her condition is stable before they proceed like nothing happened. Sarah is not aware that she has nightmares, and she does not understand torment he goes through every night while holding her frail body while she is shivering and weeping in his arms. Aiden can definitely see the progress. She is not trashing as much, and the duration is shorter, but nightmares are still there.

More than once he was on the verge of snapping and telling her everything, but next morning she looks at him with a smile on her face and eyes full of love… and that reminds him what matters. And what matters is Sarah.

Aiden got out of his thoughts when he saw her coming out of the bathroom.

”Come, let's have breakfast and then I want to show you something.” Aiden smiled and held her hand while leading the way downstairs. ”Toma is waiting to show us new storage. It was completed last week.”

Sarah sighed and did her best to smile. Aiden is obviously making an effort for her, and she should not complain just because he refuses to make love with her.

Wouldn't most of the girls be delighted to get a treatment like this? To have a handsome and capable man who is willing to go above and beyond to make them happy while not demanding physical intimacy? And she could be one of those girls if she didn't meet him, and if she didn't experience how heavenly his embrace is, and how he knows to do just the right things to make her scream in ecstasy...

Sarah paused at the thought that it's Aiden's fault that she became like this, lecherous! She pinched his arm.

Aiden winced and looked at her with a mix of surprise and anger.

”What was that about?” He rubbed the spot where she pinched.

Sarah frowned. ”It's your fault that my mind is full of lustful thoughts! And you are not taking responsibility!”

Aiden raised his eyebrows for a second before showing a wide smile. He pulled her close. ”How can you say that I'm not taking responsibility? I'm going to marry you!”

”That is not what I meant!”, Sarah squeezed through her teeth, ignoring his chuckles.

She can't believe that she labeled herself as someone with lustful thoughts. But what can she do? It is the truth.

”You said that we can start from wherever I want… but then you ended up deciding everything by yourself!” Sarah remembers that he even offered his wrists and said that he will not resist. And she is tempted to tie him up and have her way with him!

Aiden only smiled and kissed her temple not stopping his steps toward the kitchen.
