Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 76

Arwen looked up when she heard the bathroom door open. Aiden came out, dressed in his grey joggers and a black pullover. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

"You are done?" she asked, and Aiden hummed in response as he walked to his side of the bed.

"You are reading?" he asked, glancing at the novel in her hand.

Arwen followed his gaze and looked down at the book "Oh, yes. I have a habit of reading novels before bed," she said, quickly closing the book and putting it in the drawer next to her bed, almost as if she was hiding her biggest secret.

Aiden wanted to chuckle. If only she knew that he was well aware of the kinds of books she enjoyed. He knew all the romances she read, all the desires she harbored. He knew it all.

"Is your wound better?" Arwen asked, her gaze flicking towards his shoulders.

"It’s better," Aiden replied.

Arwen nodded to him in understanding, "Good that it is getting healed; otherwise, I wouldn’t have known what to do."

"It’s not difficult."

"Huh?"

"If my wound hadn’t healed, you would have taken the responsibility. It’s easy," he said, before slipping inside the duvet beside her.

Arwen blinked. Would it have been really that easy? "You seem uncomfortable with me in bed," she said suddenly, and Aiden turned to her, raising his brows. She clarified her thoughts. "I may not be an expert at reading your expression all the time, but your discomfort is pretty evident."

"If you are uncomfortable, I can sleep on the couch. No one will know that we are not sharing the same bed. You don’t have to force yourself, you know," she offered, gesturing toward the couch. Before she could move further, Aiden tugged her back onto the bed.

The next thing she knew, she was under him; and he was hovering over her.

Aiden stared down at her with an expression that was hard to read.

"What are you doing?" Arwen asked, unsure of the sudden proximity between them.

"You don’t make me uncomfortable. You never did," he said softly.

Arwen nodded, not knowing how to respond. His closeness was making her thoughts a jumbled mess. She didn’t know why, but their position was reminding her of the scenes she had read in many of her novels.

Aiden, on the other hand, was also feeling conflicted. He had envisioned her beneath him like this countless times in his dreams, but now that she was finally here, he wasn’t sure what to do next. There was so much he wanted to do, but would she allow it? Or, would his desires scare her away?
