Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 459

Arwen wasn't upset with Aiden for leaving without waiting for her —anyone would have done that.

She was upset because she had promised him to pick him up, and yet he had waited so long that he eventually had to leave, tired of standing there with no sign of her.

Feeling disappointed at herself, she turned to leave when Aiden's voice halted her.

"Moon!"

She froze, for a moment not believing it to be true. But then she turned around to check and her eyes sparkled with delight, finding him there —standing with a smile she recognized very well. One that was meant for her. Reserved only for her.

Before she knew what she was doing, she had already run into his arms, making her own wrap around his neck —all so intimately.

Aiden smiled before he supported her in the air, holding her close to his himself—just where she had always belonged.

They both didn't know they needed this hug until now.

Seconds passed, but Arwen still couldn't let go. She didn't feel it was enough. She knew she missed him all the weeks he was away, but just how much —she only realized it now.

It was only when she felt his arms wrapping around her waist and his breath near her ear that she realized how much she missed the proximity they always shared when he was around —the same closeness that always left her flustered.

"It seems you have missed me more than you have dared to admit," Aiden's voice came softly, but it made Arwen's heart thump loudly inside her chest.

It made her nervous, but in his arms, she wanted to be bold. Her lips curled up in a smile that held the mix of her shyness and confidence.

"I missed you," she admitted. "A lot."

Aiden's eyes widened slightly. He was teasing her, but he hadn't expected her to admit it in a heartbeat.

He tried to pull her away, but Arwen didn't loosen her hold.

"Moon—?"

"Few seconds more, please."

Her appeal was soft, but it only made Aiden hold her tighter in his arms.

"As long as you want," he said. He was more than happy to keep her in his arms for ten lifetimes, if that's what she wanted.

Arwen knew he wouldn't refuse her, but still, somehow it made her heart flutter. She breathed in his scent as she let her heart calm down. Since last night, from the moment he told her he was returning, she had been waiting to feel this … feel him —and even now, she hadn't had enough.

When did she become like this?

Last she remembered, she never clung to anyone like this. Not even to her parents when she was young.

Yet here she was, holding him like she simply couldn't let go.

The buzz around the airport blurred as she remained in his arms. She didn't track the time, but a long time must have passed because she finally heard Aiden murmur in her ears.

"Moon," he began softly. "I can hold you like this for eternity, but I fear your waist will hurt later if I keep on holding you so tightly. So … can we choose a more comfortable position and place?"
