"She was a wild one; always stomping on eggshells that everyone else tip-toes on." – Kaitlin Foster

Aiden's hand continued to absentmindedly create circular patterns along my skin as the two of us laid there staring up at the ceiling. Lifting my head off of his shoulder, I looked up at him and slowly reached over to press a kiss on his cheek. "Hi."

"Hi beautiful." He lightly brushed my cheek with the back of his hand and pulled me on top of him. As I shifted in his lap, I immediately felt his hardening member once again.

My face heated as I tried to avoid his gaze.

I was not used to this type of affection.

"Are you blushing?" He smirked up at me.

I lightly hit his chest. "Me? Never!"

Liar!

"You can't possibly have enough energy for round two." I giggled as Aiden began kissing his way up my neck until he finally reached my lips.

"Why not?" He challenged gripping my sides so that I was sitting still. "You are incredibly fucking sexy right now."

"We should really get dressed before the others come back." I said attempting to wiggle my way out of his grip, but Aiden snaked his hand around my waist shifted us so that I was laying underneath him. He gave me one final peck on the lips before lifting himself off of me.

"Not yet." He threw me a teasing smile. I looked up at him questioningly as he wrapped the discarded sheet around his waist and walked into the living area. A few minutes later, he came back with a white box wrapped with a neat black bow.

"What's this?" I asked as he placed the box in front of me.

"Open it and you'll find out." He grinned.

As my fingers slid over the satin bow, I slowly pulled at the ends and allowed it to fall on the bed. Lifting the lid, I removed the tissue paper to reveal black purse. Upon closer inspection, the gold plated designer label caught my eye and I gasped.

Prada.

A medium Saffiano leather double Prada bag, to be exact.

"Look inside the bag." He smirked.

Unzipping the zipper, I peeked inside and pulled out a hardcover book. In my hand, I was holding an advanced signed copy of Run Away with Me by Mila Gray.

"Oh my god!" I gaped at him, and then back at the book in my hand. "How did you get this?"

His lips twitched into a smile at my reaction. "Jake's firm does PR for her books so I had him pull a few strings." Aiden shrugged. "I saw some of her other works on your book shelf so I thought you might like it."

"What, you couldn't spring for J.K Rowling?" I smirk up at him. I bit back the smile spreading across my face as I saw his cheeks begin to turn a light shade of pink.

"I mean I could," He shrugged folding his arms. The action only accentuated his toned muscles. "But, this was the best I could do on short notice."

Someone pinch me because this has got to be a wet dream I am having right now.

"I would walk to the moon and back, if it meant you would continue smiling like this." The boyish grin on his face made my heart melt. I don't know if it was the adrenaline still rushing through my blood from earlier, but I flung my arms around Aiden's neck and pulled him into a hug. He seemed taken aback at first before he slowly wrapped his arms around me as well. "I love it." I sighed.
