Chapter 56

I looked out the window and saw winter unfolding before my eyes, the trees without leaves with little crystals hanging from their tip, plants wilted and turned, the streets deserted apart from a couple of lonely souls hanging on to their coats for dear life shielding themselves from the harsh winds and I was relieved to be home for the holidays, my collage room was cosy, but I could never feel as warm as I feel when I’m at home. Mom and I loved to snuggle up under a blanket and watch a movie with a hot cup of hot chocolate, sometimes we would sit for hours having a movie marathon, I loved it when we did a Hobbit or a Lord of the Rings marathon, but mom loved The Matrix marathon, I love that no matter how many times we watched them we would still scream, shout, jump and cry “I can’t wait” I smiled to myself as the taxi turned into my neighbourhood. I rolled down the window and took a deep breath “but I miss you the most” I said to myself as I caught a whiff of his scent, since becoming Alpha Aiden has been back home full time, I don’t know how I made it through these past three months without him, I shook the sadness away “I hope I see you soon” I felt the tears well up in my eyes and my anger rose with them

“We are here” the driver said but I couldn't register his words

“Couldn’t he have scheduled me in? I mean three months didn’t he miss me at all?”

“…ma’am…”

“I mean yes we video called and texted all the time but that’s not the same as actually being with someone, especially your fiancé is it?”

“Well…I” the driver said feeling uncomfortable

“I’m his fiancé and he still couldn’t have taken a thirty-minute drive to see me” I fumed and folded my arms steam coming out of my ears”

“Can you hear me?”

“What” I barked at the driver

“I said we have arrived”

“Oh, my goodness, I’m so sorry” my cheeks flushed, and I looked out the window and saw my house “yes, thank you” I got out as quickly as I could, the driver handed me my luggage and I sprinted up the steps, rushed through the door and slammed it behind me leaning against it “how embarrassing”

“Welcome home stranger” mom said giving me a big hug, I missed her so much that I couldn’t hold back the tears that had now started to flow down my cheeks “oh sweetheart I’m so happy to see you, she swayed me back and forth in her arms “I missed you too mommy” I said squeezing her tight.

“Popcorn check, hot chocolate check and nice cosy blankets check” I said loud enough so mom could hear, she went to her room to read while I took a bath “I also ordered some pizza”

“Sorry honey did you say something?” she asked walking into the living room wearing a beautiful black dress with shoes to match she looked at me and put the other earing on “what?” she asked looking down at herself checking to see if I was criticising something with her outfit.

“Where are you going? I know it’s not my favourite, but I thought we could start with The Matrix and then work our way to The Hobbit and then Fellowship of the Ring you know hit the fantasy world by storm” I pouted

“Sorry sweetheart but I have to take a rain check tonight”

“Why, do you have a date or something?

“Yes I do, how do I look?” she asked turning around and showing off her dress

“Who is this guy? And how come you’re choosing him over me?”

“Oh, my poor baby is pouting” she chuckled and pinched my cheek

“It’s my first night back and your leaving on some hot date while my so-called fiancé is nowhere to be found, what am I going to do with all this food?”

“You’re smart figure it out, and besides you’ve lived without me for half a year now” she said giving me a kiss on the forehead, I sat down on the couch and folded my arms in protest, I know I’m being silly, but I can’t help feeling a twinge of hurt like I’ve been abandoned or something, I mean Aiden has been fully emersed in his Alpha duties and now mom seems to have created an entire life without me.

“Ding Dong” the doorbell rang, and I jumped up “just who is this guy?” I need to get a close look at him, mom seems to like him and I’m the only one that can protect her, after what Xavier put me through, that experience alone taught me what to look for. I know that mom has never been through an ordeal like that and from what I can tell she is as naïve as I was, if this guy is a creep she won’t know it, I’m the only one that will. I opened the door “Mr Fisher?” my mouth dropped to the ground

“Hi Eric, you remember my daughter Scarlett?” he nodded, my face stuck in permanent surprise mode “great, let me grab my coat, I’ll be right out” mom said smiling back at him and then back at me.

“Hi Scarlett, I heard you are going to Liefde University, that’s wonderful, I always knew you’d do great” he rubbed his hands together and looked down nervously. Mom came back with her coat and purse, and I turned to her

“Please tell me you’re not dating my teacher

“Not now Scarlett” mom said under clenched teeth

“Well to be fair I stopped being your teacher eight months ago” I gave him a look that said don’t test me.

“Sorry” he said looking down clearing his throat

“Well I’ll see you later then, bye” mom said closing the door behind her, I looked back at the spread I’d made for mom and me, and sighed deeply, I sat back on the couch, but I couldn’t bring myself to press play “I acted like a five year old” I felt so bad that I resolved to apologise as soon as they got back, the doorbell rang and I sprang back to my feet “mom I’m so sorry…oh” my heart flattered as I looked at the Adonis in front of me , I haven’t seen him in forever I guess I’m living proof that absence does make the heart grow fonder, I tried to find the words but my brain stopped sending signals to my mouth, his green eyes piercing my soul, he took a step towards me and my knees felt like jelly, he slowly walked towards me and put his arm around my waist his other hand on my cheek, his eyes dark holding me in place. All the breath escaped out of my body as he held me close, he pulled my lips to his, and I wrapped my arms around his neck and breathed him in ‘damn he smells good’, his hands didn’t move one hand holding me tight and the other softly caressing my cheek slowly, he broke the kiss and lifted my legs off the ground, and I wrapped them around his waist as he carried me to my room.

He didn’t say a word, yet I knew exactly what he was feeling, every fibre of his being communicated very clearly to me how much he missed me, his breathing said he was in agony and extasy at the same time, his touch said he was hungry and in need, every word unspoken manifested through his longing I felt the need in every touch and it made me dizzy, his scent sent me into a haze, I stood feet down and looked into his eyes giving him full reign all over me, he slowly removed my cloths leaving me bear standing in front of him, he kissed me slowly and I shivered, I felt him smile against my lips, he started to move and left a trail of kisses down my body, he knelt down and put his mouth on my centre and licked, the sensation sent vibrations shooting up my spine, I swung my head back and my eyes rolled back with a moan, I held on to the top of his head using his hair for balance as he sucked in my knob. Knowing that mom wasn’t around gave me the freedom to let go of all my inhibitions, my body radiated with pleasure, it felt like an eternity had passed since I felt his hands on me, he squeezed my ass and I moaned, his lips intense on my sex, his lips felt like they were more than just tasting me and sending me to the deepest depths of ecstasy they felt more than that, I felt like he was drinking me in, I love this feeling it told me everything about his hunger and deep down I loved that he missed me this much it made me feel proud for some reason, my knees started to buckle I couldn’t take it anymore, the pleasure was too intense. As though he could sense my need for more he stopped, looked up and kissed my belly button and I screeched as he picked me up and slammed me on the bed, still not saying a word, he rubbed his nose on mine, his touch so tender, he hovered over me looking down at me with grateful eyes, each kiss soft yet firm and full of hunger, I wanted to scream, my body ached with need, I have craved his touch for three months now and because it’s been so long I can only take so much, but it seemed like he wanted this to last a life time. I pulled him down to me and the full length of his body was on me, his breathing thickened, and he quickly ripped his clothes off, and I bit my lip in anticipation, he spread my legs and rubbed his finger against my sex stroking slowly back and forth my back arched and my eyes rolled back, I looked as he slowly put the finger in his mouth and sucked seeing him do that made my body shudder, he positioned himself at my core and I swallowed, a small smile formed on the corner of his mouth.

“Ding, Dong” the doorbell rang

“Oh no, that’s the pizza I ordered” why did he have to come now, right at this moment, oh man he really has terrible timing

“Let him wait” Aiden said, his voice deep and impatient
