That might not be the reply that Aiden was looking forward to but at that moment, her intention and gesture spoke it all. And that was everything he desired.
Her.
He would always ignore the past, as long as they have the present and future together.
Arwen might have thought of those words in haste, but she didn’t lie when she said that. Her past might be anything, but her present was her Aiden, her husband. And to her, he matters the most.
She believed it but she wasn’t sure if he would choose to believe it or not. If he didn’t, she didn’t know how she would prove and hence she kissed him to make him feel what she felt in the bottom of her heart.
"You matter to me, Mr. Winslow," she repeated, her arms still wrapped around his shoulders and her lips inches apart. "I don’t know if I sound sincere enough or not. Or, how should I prove it to you? But I want you to believe me in that. To me, Ryan is just my past —with whom I never meant to be."
She said and her words just felt like blabbers because from the start till the end, Aiden didn’t speak a word. And just when she felt that she had failed to make him understand, she heard his deep voice, which came low but deep.
"You want to know?" how you can prove it?" he asked, and Arwen stared at him, for a moment, blinking.
"Huh?"
Aiden stared into her eyes before darting to look at her lips that had fleetingly graced his lips moments ago. "You said you don’t know how to prove it. So I asked do you want to know?" His gaze remained as intense as ever, like a dark abyss, pulling her to the depths.
Arwen still didn’t understand fully what he meant. His tone like that often carried a dark allure that was simply too blinding. Under the effects, she would even willingly give up herself if he asked her to.
So, even if she didn’t know what he was asking her to sign for, she nodded.
And the moment she did, she didn’t get the chance to think again. She didn’t know how she was pulled but she felt herself flush against him, with his lips pressed against his. It seemed simple and chaste at first, but soon she felt his passion devouring her like never before.
She felt lost, yet beautifully found.
"It’s very easy, Moon." She heard him utter in between the kiss. "You don’t have to prove anything."
He said and his words momentarily confused her. She was about to ask him but before she could, she heard him again.
"As long as you say it, I will believe it. But if you still want to know how to melt me instantly …" he paused, and Arwen vividly felt his lips tugging up on the corners to form a smirk. "… you can give me yourself and I will sell my whole world to you."
With those words, he kissed her again, this time in a much more gentler way as if trying to coax him to believe in his promise.
