Chapter 104: Chapter 104

No One Pov's

.

Aaron turned on the bed to hold Aana in his arms and then opened his eyes when he didn't sense her presence. He sat straight as he didn't find her on the bed and looked towards the washroom but she wasn't even there. Last night, when Aana calmed down, he brought her back home. She slept in the car because of exhaustion after crying so much. He clearly remembered that he made her lay on the bed beside her and slept after securing her in his arms.

"Why didn't I realise when she woke up?" He muttered to himself and hopped down from the bed.

"Maybe because we slept after four days. Our body needs the rest" Rex replied, yawning. He closed her eyes, feeling sleepy. Even Aaron wants to sleep more but before that, he wants to check on Aana.

"I can sense her... She is downstairs. Maybe in the kitchen, making breakfast for us like usual" Rex mumbled.

"I hope she is okay... Yesterday, she cried so much. If Alice wouldn't have been with her then she might have fainted." Rex opened his eyes, realising his human has a point. Now, he also wanted to see Aana.

Aaron directly went to the kitchen and found her doing what Rex thought. Aaron looked at the food, it was his favourite, and then at Aana who was calm and doing everything with a small smile on her face.

"Pearl" She looked in his direction upon hearing her name.

"You woke up at the right time. Let's have breakfast" She muttered with a smile and took the tray of food towards the dining area. He followed her, silently observing her. He loved the way she sang a calm and humming song while doing work but at the same time, he was worried thinking if she is doing all this to hide her pain from him.

"Why didn't you freshen up before coming downstairs?" She frowned and pulled a chair for him, indicating to him to sit down. He looked at her and then at the chair. She laughed at his reaction.

"Don't look at me like you see a ghost. I just pulled your chair. Sometimes men also deserve special treatment" She chuckled, bringing a smile to his face. He nodded his head and sat on the chair.

"Thank you, Mrs. Aana Aaron Smith" She looked at him abruptly, not expecting him to call her like this. His smile widens when he observes the increase in her heartbeat. She tightened her lips, not to smile, and sat beside him.

"Pearl" he called her and took her one hand in his from which she was about to serve food. She looked at his side with a smile. He removed the strands of hair from her face and locked them behind her ear and then kept his hand on her left cheek, moving his thumb gently over there. She closed her eyes feeling his touch.

"Are you okay?" She opened her eyes and looked at him, sensing how worried he was for her.

"I'm more than okay. I can't say how thankful I'm to you." She muttered.

"You don't need to thank me" He rolled his eyes. She chuckled and nodded her head.

"After talking to Vince, I felt like a free bird. He took me out of the guilt of three years. I always blamed myself for his death but he made me realise it was bound to happen" She whispered and a tear rolled from her eyes, remembering the moment, when Vince died in her arms. He wiped her tears bringing a smile to her face.

"He made me realise how stupid I'm... I'm losing the precious gem in mourning for lost things" she muttered.

"Don't worry... I'm fine" He nodded his head and was about to leave her hand when her eyes went to her ring finger.

"Pearl," He exclaimed.

"Where is your ring?" He asked, almost panicking, knowing how much that ring meant to her.

"Here" She replied, showing him a chain around her neckline in which she wore Vince's ring.

"He asked me to move on but moving on doesn't mean to forget him" She mumbled. He smiled and nodded his head. She smiled blissfully when he kissed her forehead. His eyes went on her lips and the desire to take her brims into his rose in his heart. He leaned towards her lips and then stopped. She kept her hand on his chest.

"Let's have breakfast...I'm starving" she muttered, pushing him slightly. He bit his cheeks not to hiss at the way she pushed him away while Rex groaned in frustration because he also wanted to taste her lips.

"Why did you push him away?" Alice frowned at Aana.

"Because I didn't want to make any move until I get confirmed about my feelings" Aana replied and closed their mindlink before her wolf started pushing her to kiss him. Aaron was about to stand up, after completing his meal when she held his hand.

"I need time, Aaron" She muttered nervously then looked at him.

"I don't want to make a move before getting assured of my feelings. I hope you understand" He nodded his head and then yawned.

"I'm going back to sleep" He replied and went directly towards his room. Aana looked at him perplexed.

"Was he hurt because of my words?" She wondered because never Aaron slept in the daytime and here he was sleeping just after an hour, he woke up. She started thinking unnecessarily that he was angry and unaware of this, Aaron lay on his bed, waiting for the darkness to consume him.

Aana directly went to his room after clearing the plates and found him sleeping on the bed. A smile appeared on her lips seeing him sleeping like a baby. He was lying on his stomach, holding a pillow in his arms.

"Why does he need to hug a pillow while sleeping?" she frowned.

"Don't tell me now you're jealous of your pillow?" Alice asked, shockingly making Aana's eyes widen.

Aana smacks her head with her hand at her stupidity. She herself couldn't believe that she got envious of a pillow. She went towards him and blew the blanket over him and then leaned towards his face, staring at him with love.

"He looks smoking hot while sleeping," she muttered.

"And cute too," Alice chuckled. She nodded her head in agreement with her wolf and then removed his hair from his forehead lovingly. She leaned towards his cheeks to kiss but in the next moment, she found herself under him.

Aaron was trying to sleep but he couldn't, missing Aana in his arms. In the past month, it has become Aana and Aaron's habit to sleep in each other's arms. He was about to get up from the bed when he sensed her presence. He pretended to sleep for a long time to see what she did and then he heard her calling him hot. He thought about pretending more but lost his control when he felt her hot breath on his cheeks. He found it as a chance and turned their position.

"It's a crime to kiss someone when he is sleeping," he muttered, widening her eyes.

"I--I wasn't ab--about to kiss you"

"Liar" He chuckled and moved closer to her. Her heartbeat rose, feeling his hot breath. The way he was looking at her lips was enough to make her wet.

"I can smell your arousal" He smirked. Her whole face turned red upon hearing her.

"You stopped me kissing you and then taking advantage of my sleep you yourself were about to kiss me. Isn't it unfair, Pearl?" He asked brushing her nose on her collarbone, making her breath uneven. She turned her face in another direction because of shyness and a smile appeared on her lips when he kissed her left cheek but he didn't stop over there. He kissed her earlobe and then moved downwards towards her neck.

"Aaron" She moaned when he sucked her collarbone passionately. They both were sure it would leave a mark on her neck. The fact that she was going to have his mark over his neck was enough for him to make him aroused. He immediately turned her body towards the left side and lay down beside her, caging her in his arms before closing his eyes.

"Aaron" she called him shockingly, not able to understand what happened suddenly to him.

"Sleep before I lost control over myself and end up fucking you on this bed" He muttered widening her eyes. She wriggled to get out of his grip, earning a groan from him.

"Sleep Pearl" He hissed making her realise she was roughing her body with his. She immediately stopped her moment and closed her eyes like an innocent child, bringing a smile to his face.
