Chapter 835 - Back to normal (1/2)

Sarah and Aiden are in the bed, exchanging light kisses.

Aiden's hand is on her waist and he is thinking if he should move it under her top or not. What if she is not ready for more than kisses? They are at a point where hugging and kissing is OK, and he is very happy about that… but how about more than that? He is not sure… His hand moved slightly before settling back into its original position, reflecting uncertainty of his thoughts.

”Is something wrong?”, Sarah noticed his reluctance.

Her question answered his… she IS ready for more. But how much more? He does not want to push it more than she is comfortable with and risk of her retreating back into 'stay-away' mode. It was painful to stay away from her. It's safe if he asks, but how can he ask…?

”You packed the suitcase. Did you pack… protection?” Aiden held his breath while waiting for her answer.

”No. It's safe now.”

Her answer confirmed that she IS ready not just for a bit more, but for all the way. He was unable to control the smile which bloomed on his face. Finally, he gets to feel her… and he will take his time and make it slow.

He resumed kissing her on the neck toward the shoulders, how much her exposed skin allowed. His hand went under her top and landed on her waist. Aiden felt her smooth and warm skin and he trembled. Oh, how much he missed her!

He told himself that no matter how impatient he is, he needs to take his time, slowly… to make sure she is enjoying… and they don't need a condom because it's safe…

”Now what?”, Sarah asked when she realized that Aiden stopped all his movements.

He lifted his head and looked into her eyes reluctantly. ”You said that now is safe. What about… last time?”

Sarah pressed her lips into a line. She does not want to think about that night, but he has a point that should be clarified.

”Then… it was not safe. But that does not mean that I'm pregnant. Healthy couples take on average six months of trying before it happens.”

His eyes widened. ”So, you are saying… there is a possibility.”

His shock told her that he is uncomfortable with that thought. Why is he making such a big deal out of it? She remembers that they talked about babies, and he said that they will be perfect. Did he change his mind now that actually it MIGHT be happening?

”There is always a possibility. No protection is 100% effective. Remember? Sophia got pregnant and she WAS on the pill.”

”But… there is a higher possibility than if we are using the protection. Correct?” Aiden still wanted to clarify.

Sarah sighed. ”Yes. Can we not talk about it? Even if I'm pregnant, it's too early to confirm.”

”When can we, confirm?”

Sarah saw that he has no intention of changing the topic, so she explained: ”My period is due in more than a week. If it's late, I will do a test.”

Aiden listened to her while holding his breath.
