Chapter 9

“How big is your bathtub?” Paige asked as she walked through Aiden’s front door.

She was inundated by his scent as she entered his house, and she was loving every second of it. His home smelled of pine and citrus and cloves mixed with cinnamon. Exactly like him. She took another deep breath and let all things Aiden fill her senses.

Aiden walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. “The tub is pretty big. I can fit in it easily so you should wear a life jacket.”

She smiled and twisted in his arms to hug him to her. She turned her head up and kissed the mouth of the skull tattooed on his neck. “That sounds lovely. The tub at the Inn was not made for soaking, and right now I smell like three different people,” she said, motioning to the clothes the Winston’s gave her to wear.

As she tried to pull away to look around his house, Aiden tugged her back to him and wouldn’t let go. Holding her back to his front, his scent changed. It was spicy, masculine. “This is your house now, too. Just let me know if you don’t like something and I’ll change it for you.”

Silly man. He was worried she wouldn’t like his home. The smile that she’d had on her lips fell away as she realized that she had given him this insecurity. He already thought that he wasn’t enough for her and now he was hoping she was comfortable in his home. Their home. Her insides twisted in on itself with the pain she’d caused him.

Never again.

Turning to grab both sides of his face, she angled his head toward hers and rubbed her lips against his. “It’s yours and I want to be where ever you are. It’s more than enough for me. You are more than enough for me. I’m sorry I made you feel anything other than that.” He was so tall she had to lean back to get a good look at his face. She needed him to see her eyes so he would know she was telling the truth. “I promise that I will never make you feel like that again.”

The grin on his lips brought a smile from hers. They stood like that for a while, holding on to each other as their lips met in a lingering kiss that warmed Paige from every angle she could think of. This was life, and living, and freedom. It was the most beautiful thing she’d ever experienced.

“Come on,” Aiden said as he walked her backward, still holding on as he looked in her eyes. “You can take the grand tour after you get settled. I’ll fix you dinner.”

He was going to cook for her? No one had cooked for her in years. The idea of this big sexy man cooking for her made a wild giggle bubble up through her mouth.

“What’s so funny?” he asked, picking her up and wrapping her legs around his waist so he could carry her up the stairs.
