"I hardly think touching and kissing my fiancée is being a pig."
"Oh, I think it could be construed that way in our situation." I poked him in the chest. He grabbed my hand and kissed the tip of my finger. I faltered for a moment and licked my bottom lip. A little too breathy I spoke.
"Ai-Aidan stop it," yanking my hand away from his grinning face. "I will knock that smirk off your face, mister." He laughed and then his lips were pressed to mine. My hands were about to slide around his neck when we were interrupted.
"There you two are." I quickly moved out from under Aidan’s kisses and roaming hands, looking straight at my mother.
"H-hey mom." I stuttered out and heard Aidan chuckle at me. He wrapped his arm around my waist tightly.
"Had to sneak off for a moment alone, I get it." She winked.
I groaned.
"What can I say? I can’t keep my hands off of her for too long." Aidan squeezed me closer.
I sighed.
"Mom, look I need to tell you –"
"That you’re staying at our place tonight. We have a couple of extra rooms to spare, so you’ll stay with us." Turning to look at Aidan in disbelief, I couldn’t believe how far he was going to go with this.
What the hell? Is he seriously trying to play this out like that? Does he really think I’m too stupid to figure out his game?
"Oh…really? Are you sure? I don’t want to intrude on you two." Sarah looked so happy when she answered.
"Actually mom that’s not what I was going to say." I glared at Aidan and turned back to my mother. "Aidan and I –"
"Aren’t even staying in the same place tonight," Phoebe chimed in. I shot a confused look at her.
"It’s the night before your wedding, silly." Phoebe rolled her eyes. "We’re all staying at Viola and Liam’s while the guys stay with Aidan. I already have everything packed and at Viola’s." She smiled proudly.
I smiled broadly and turned to Aidan. He had his eyes narrowed at Phoebe. There was a moment he looked as if he were going to pout. I laughed and he shot the glare at me. I stopped quickly, seeing the seriousness behind it.
He wasn’t as aggressive the rest of the night, but was still pretty hands on. When everyone said their goodbyes, Phoebe grabbed me by my arm to get our coats.
Phoebe was going on and on about how excited she was about tomorrow. I hadn’t noticed Aidan appear behind me. It wasn’t until I felt his hands glide over my bare shoulders, the fiery tingle alerting me it was him. He spun me around to face him.
"Where is my goodbye kiss, darling?" He smiled crookedly.
Surprising him, I leaned into him and brought my lips just a millimeter from his. His scent was all around me. It was like honey and almonds, earthy and rich. I wanted to lick his skin, but I kept myself under control. Instead I licked my lips slowly, earning a low growl from him. Then I smirked and whispered.
"Loser."
Pulling back from him before he could wrap his head around what was happening. I put my index finger and thumb to my forehead in the shape of an L. I watched as he shook his head laughing.
"Diabolical!" He shouted back at me.
With a victory grin, I slipped into the awaiting car. My smile slipped a little when one thought cross my mind. Tomorrow would be the start of my arranged life as Mrs. Aidan Iverson III.
