Though I will admit, being a ‘spy’ wasn’t for me. Especially when I had this little boy in my arms.
My ears tried to pick up on his words but after a few minutes Aiden’s voice calmed down to the point I can only hear murmurs.
I made a move to go closer to the door but then the naughty boy in my arms made a little loud sound that I m*ffled quickly.
“You naughty boy,” My eyes narrowed on a little Aiden whose eyes light with mirth.
Ashton definitely knew what he was doing.
I huffed and called it quits. It was better to end this before Ashton get us both caught.
I walked away from the door reluctantly, my shoulders slumped.
“I swear you’re just like your dad.” I huffed, pouting as I stomped my way back to the kitchen.
I didn’t have time to pick up on anything good. Ashton made sure to have prevented me from doing so.
I picked up the fork and stabbed the waffles and lifted my eyes to the ceiling.
“Thank you a lot G*d for giving me two Aiden’s as if one wasn’t enough.” I sighed and then looked down at the little boy who giggled.
My heart squeezed.
“Nevermind, I wouldn’t want it any other way. I can have even more Aiden’s, either way I’m blessed.” I whispered and lifted my finger to brush along Ashton’s cheek. He smiles and I smile.
“You’ve been a naughty little boy Ash. Preventing mama from eavesdropping.” I pouted and he giggled as if knowing exactly what I meant.
“Mama naughty,” Ashton giggles.
My mouth part and then my eyes narrowed on his cute face. “No. You’re the only naughty one here mister.”
Ashton squealed a little, and giggled.
When I heard the door of the room open, my eyes widen and I whispered. “Act cool Ash.”
Ashton, as if understanding me completely starts playing with my hair and ceases his giggles.
I on the other hand picked up the fork and stabbed it through the waffles. I ate it and waited for Aiden to approach.
I stiffened when I suddenly felt his arms around me but melted in his hold seconds later. I hadn’t heard when he came behind me.
“I hope breakfast tasted better than the cupcake,” He murmured and kissed my cheek.
I close my eyes to savor the feeling then peeled my eyes open and opened my mouth to respond. “Yes. It does.”
“Mama naughty.” Ashton suddenly giggled and I freeze.
This kid was definitely plotting to sell me out.
I laughed it off, tickling him and earning a sweet laugh from his throat.
Aiden who thankfully hadn’t really pried deep into his son’s words, lifted his lips to my ear.
His hot breath tickles the lobe, his lips just brushing against it. I freeze, my heart leaping.
“Naughty huh?” Aiden breathed beside my ear, making my inside tickle with tingles. “I think I like when you’re naughty.” His teeth trap my earlobe and bit down on it gently.
I force my throat to hold in the moan, not wanting to let out such a sound in front of Ashton.
“Aiden,” I breathed out, my core tightening, despite my will to try to stop my blatant need for him.
“Ashton,” I murmured and willed my body to step out of his hold.
Aiden was definitely trying to distract me from asking him about what had upset him.
I should not make him distract me so easily.
Turning to face him, I’m surprised he wasn’t avoiding my gaze but kept his eyes directly on me.
They were warm and loving, totally opposite of how they were before he went to the room.
And I was certain they were not warm when he was speaking to Sergio.
“Aiden,” I said, looking at him with a tilt of my head.
He raised one single brow in expectation and reached forward to grab a hold of the shirt and tug me forward until he was hugging both Ashton and me.
I try not to melt so much in his hold and dug my heels on the tiled floor.
“What’s going on?” I asked lowly, trying to keep my voice leveled so he’d not get irritated at my prying.
Knowing what I was referring to, Aiden tries to smile to reassure me but of course, I am not fooled by such a look anymore.
I heard his tone in there. And I heard it when he was in the kitchen. Whatever tactics Sergio was at again, stirred outrage in Aiden.
He lifted his hand up and rubbed his fingers between my brows. “Don’t worry my little mama bear. Everything’s fine. Trust me.” He whispered and curled his hand behind my head and pulled me to him. He kisses my forehead.
“I’ll always protect you and Ash mama bear. In every way.” He whispered, kissing my forehead again and sighs.
His words were reassuring and did warm my insides.
But I also caught his words perfectly and knew that whatever made him angry had something to do with ‘protecting me.
I was not dumb and could read between the lines.
But I also knew Aiden had no intention of telling me what was going on. Though I hold hope that he would eventually tell me.
I allow that thought to ease my mind and melt into him. Ash giggles between us and I can’t help but think that now being in Aiden’s arms was perfect and was where we were meant to be. Protected by him.
Sophie’s pov
The mild cold felt like it had finally given me a break a few hours later. I was no longer sniffling, and my nose didn’t feel stuffy anymore.
Aiden had done his best to take care of me even though I kept reassuring him that I am not immobile.
He refused for me to just stretch over and take the remote for goodness sake!
It almost felt like I was on my deathbed because Aiden refused to make me do anything for myself.
So when my cold symptoms let me go from its mild clutches I praised G*d and nearly went on my knees.
But of course, I didn’t want to seem dramatic.
It was now way past twelve and Aiden was cooking up something on the stove when a buzzing sound disturbed the somewhat silence.
I looked over at Aiden while fixing Ashton on the sofa.
“Someone must be at the door,” I told him, asking him silently if I should get the door myself, but he wipes his hands and tells me he will be back.
