I shook my head. “I think I’m going to go stay with Dad while you’re gone.”

Aiden lifted a hand to cup my cheek and place a chaste kiss on my forehead before turning to leave. I grabbed his arm, pulling him into me and before Aiden could blink,I’d kissed him, nipping at his lips, guiding him to deepen it. When he did, I let my body press into his, allowing my tongue to dance around his.

Aiden pulled away, letting his forehead rest against my as he tried to regulate his breathing.

“I wish I could take you with me,” Aiden spoke, his voice full of need. “But Dr. Danvers wants you to stay here. He doesn’t want to risk it because of the seizure you had that caused your memory loss. Anything could trigger another one.” Aiden closed his eyes. “I agree with him, but damn, it’s going to be hard being away from you.”

I kissed him a second time and hugged him tightly. Aiden brought his arms around me and I wished we could stay like this forever.

I felt Aiden’s absence like one felt the absence of one's vital limb: like a right arm or one’s thumb that had been severed. The days were long and desolate, and the nights were no better. I found that I couldn’t sleep at all when I was in my own room at my father’s home. Odd how the bed I remembered sleeping in no longer held any comfort for me. So the next day, I found myself back in my own home, clutching Aiden’s pillow to me, wishing he’d come back already. It was when he was gone that I realized all the small things he did for me like make me coffee, make sure there was a glass of water by my bedside table in case I got thirsty at night.

Aiden even made sure I had a full tank of gas in my car. I missed the way he’d hold me close as we watched a movie and ate dinner together. I missed his smile, I missed his kisses, I missed his eyes that were the color of clear blue sky when he was happy and dark blue when he was upset. I realized that I missed my mate.

Rose's POV

I enjoyed the sounds of the rippling water as the bubbles floated around me in the tub. Had it only been three days of Aiden gone? it felt like more. I sunk lower into the tub, moaning in bliss. It felt so good to relax like this. My knotted muscles came undone, and I couldn’t help moaning Aiden’s name, aching for him to be here. To run his hands across my body. My hand tentatively flitted over my breasts. I moaned his name again, on a deeper tone than before.

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened with a loud creak. I smelled Aiden's scent before I saw him. I flailed about in the water in shock before sinking lower into the tub, hoping the bubbles would hide my body.

“Let me in.” His voice was gruff,pleading as he eyed me in the tub while standing in the doorframe.

“What are you doing back early? When did you even get back?” I asked, horrified that he’d been on the other side, listening to me moan his name.

But when I didn't tell him to leave,he determinedly strode over towards the tub.

“A little while ago. I left the final day in Dylan’s hands.” He gave me a wink and smile as he rolled up the sleeves of his crisp white dress shirt. “I missed you too much.”

He swiftly knelt down next to the tub, his hands tentatively dipping under the water to reverently trail the outline of mystomach with his fingertips. When I didn't stop him, he allowed his hand to splay across the swell of my baby bump.

“How’s the baby doing?” Aiden asked,eyes on my belly immersed underwater.

“Fine.” My voice was a tad high-pitched as I tried sinking into the tub some more, thankful the bubbles hid most of my swollen body.

Aiden's fingers lovingly stroked my stomach under the water.

He looked at me with a gleam in his eye.

"You pregnant with my child and moaning my name is the hottest thing I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing."

He chuckled when I blushed tomato red. Then his hand devilishly began moving down south to explore a part of my body he probably knew better than I even did.

I squeaked when his hand trailed seductively down my abdomen to rest over my womanhood.

"Let me do this," he pleaded.

“Let you wha-what?” I managed to stutter out.

My breath caught when his hand wedged itself between my thighs.

Aiden looked at me. “I heard you moaning my name. I can smell your arousal despite the water. Let me do this for you.” His finger entered my folds, circling my clit.

I gasped, my legs opened instinctively.

“You OK?” Aiden asked appreciatively,adding another finger.

My face went slack from pleasure.

I nodded weakly, no longer in control of my body, which was responding to him with alarming excitement. His finger entered me, I bucked, water sloshing over the tub. And then he touched a spot inside of me that made my thighs shake and toes curl.
