The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden) novel Chapter 46

Aiden’s pov

Maybe I shouldn’t have been so harsh to her……

groan, rubbing a hand down my face as I glared at the door she just stepped out of. She left something here, her scent.

That damn woman was hell bent on making me miserable.

I marched across the room and fling the door wide open, hoping her smell will follow her and leave me alone. For three years she tormented me in my head now her being here was making things worst

I should hate her. I shouldn’t even be regretting the words I said to her just moments ago. She deserved it.

„She deserved even more for what she put me through.

I stormed back to my desk, ringing Noel.

“Bring some damn air freshener” | growled through the phone the second she answered the call. Sophie’s scent wasn’t leaving as quickly as I hoped it would even though the door was opened fully.

Damn woman.

I should’ve stayed in my office. Maybe if I had done so, I wouldn’t have overheard the conversation she was having with that fucking guy.

My fingers itch to ring that asshole and fire him for even having the audacity to flirt with her.

But then I remembered, that I didn’t have the right to even be angry or jealous. Sophie wasn’t mine, she had made it clear three years ago when she agreed to be Carson’s girlfriend. When she stood by his parents instead of standing by mine.

“Sir I brought the air freshener!” Noel squealed as she rushed in. She looked around the room and her nose twitched. “Did that woman leave an old smell behind sir?”

Igritted my teeth wanting to defend Sophie from her words but then I realized that defending Sophie wouldn’t be a good thing. I should hate her.

So I just barked instead. “Just spray the entire bottle if you have to. I want the office drenched with that scent and nothing else.

Noel nodded quickly and started spraying the entire office while her eyes roam my half naked chest.

* What about your injuries Mr. Xavier? Do you want me to help you with those?” She asked, her voice dropping into one I think was supposed to sound seductive. She sounded like those witches in cartoon movies.

And when her eyes drop down to stare at my crotch, I knew she wanted to help me in other ways.

I looked down and cursed under my breath. Of course, I was left hard. Her scent and the way her pretty doe eyes looked at me moments ago. The way her ass swayed.

I bit my lower lip to stop the moan that threatened to come out of my throat. Sophie had filled in nicely. Her breasts looked bigger and her ass….damn I can just imagine how it would feel to smack them while fucking her from behind. While reaching for her breast……

“I can help you with that Mr. Xavier,” Noel suggested, looking at me beneath her lashes.

But she could never come close to looking as seductive as Sophie did. Sophie didn’t have to do much to get me hard and panting after her. No other woman could ever accomplish that.

I looked at Noel and contemplated if I wanted to feel a vacuum right now.

Nah. I think I’ll pass.

I actually feel nauseous just by thinking about her lips around my cock instead of Sophie’s.

“When you’re done here, close the door on your way out,” I said stiffly and grabbed my shirt.

“Also, buy me a new suit and get it here before one,” I grumble, holding the ruined suit and walking out of my office.

I blocked my visible hard cock straining through the pants with the button-down shirt and jacket while making my way to a private bathroom.

I need to wank off before my cock falls off by how much it throbbed for Sophie.

Damn you Sophie Bell.

Sophie’s pov

I stormed out of the elevator and made my way to my desk. On the way there, Lisa noticed me and stepped out of her small office.

“Oh, you’re back.” She smiled tightly and looked at my empty hands in confusion.” The canteen has no cupcakes? Since when.” She voiced out.

“Sorry Lisa, I had a little accident and completely forgotten about them. If you want I can go back down

I really didn’t want to go back down there. I was still so humiliated by what happened. And even more so that mostly everyone down there saw me tugging their Ceo in the elevator like I had the right to touch him.

“No that would be unnecessary. Accident? Are you okay Sophie?” Lisa asked in worry.

I nodded, “I’m fine. Just humiliated myself in front of everyone including the Ceo. I spilled some coffee on him. I made quite a mess actually.” I cringe remembering how I ruined his expensive looking suit.

I’m surprised Aiden hadn’t sued me for that. Or demanded that I buy a new one for him, twice my paycheck.

Lisa stiffened and her eyes widen slightly. “You spilled coffee on the Ceo?! Did he not fire you on the spot?”

I shook my head, now finding it a bit surprising that he hadn’t. He seemed to be that kind of boss who fired others for no particular reason. So why hadn’t he given me the boot like he had done to others?

Whatever game Aiden was playing at, ‘I didn’t want to play it. Not when he was treating me even worst than he was when we were in high school.

Lisa looked at me in disbelief. “He didn’t? Wow, that’s really surprising. He fired that new girl working in the marketing department last week because she bumped into him by accident. Girl left in tears, almost flooded the entire building with them actually.”

I wince. Poor girl. To get fired for such a little mistake…..

Aiden really was a blue-eyed devil.

Lisa and I spoke for a few before I went back to where I was stationed. Behind a desk with my chin in the palm of my hand as I thought hard about what to do.

He dismissed me so coldly and casually. There was no regret in his tone. No recognition in his eyes.

{• Sure his eyes flickered with the heat of desire but as Lisa had mentioned, Aiden was a

manwhore. Always had been, so him wanting to fuck me wasn’t surprising.

But as soon as I said his name….

The look in his eyes, the fire had died and was replaced by ice. He didn’t like that I called him by his given name.

Oh Aiden….

What are you really playing at? Did you really forget me or do you still hate me so much that you refuse to acknowledge that we ever knew each other?

I sighed, rubbing my forehead. Would I be thinking about him every day while at work? Would he haunt my mind every day now? More than usual?

Sophie your luck today really placed you in a pit hole, didn’t it?

I was so tired. I was exhausted.

Of hearing his voice, of seeing his face everywhere. I was tired of his presence.

The entire rest of the day, Aiden taunted me by calling my line just to tell me that he had meant to ring Bernard privately. He did this five times. Five damn times!

And he kept calling me Miss Bell. So formal. Like we were complete strangers. That only fed my

irritation and I had to bite my tongue before I could say anything.

And when I went down to the staff canteen for a snack because I was famished for not eating lunch earlier, Aiden showed up again. Thankfully there were no embarrassing moments and no spills.

Everyone had their gazes locked on us, waiting for something to happen. But Aiden ignored me completely. Didn’t even spare me a glance. When I got back to the financial department floor, Aiden came in a few minutes later to again ‘talk’ with Bernard.

It was like he was trying to irritate me by ignoring me. He didn’t answer my greetings and didn’t even care to say the reason he needed to speak with Bernard. But I suppose I didn’t need to know. He was the Ceo after all.

I huffed, glaring at his back as he sauntered away with those powerful strides.

– I was so damn tired of seeing Aiden every hour or so that I was starting to think I would go mad.

His mere presence was taunting me and troubling my mind.

Could I really handle working here knowing that I would have to see him every day? I didn’t think I could. I don’t think I could easily forget the past and him as he did so easily.
