“Does anyone know about this place?” I ask turning to Aiden and he shakes his head, “So how’d you know about it?” I question and he shrugs. “This was one of the first locations I did a movie in as a boy, during breaks like this, I’d wander about to get away from everything and one day I stumbled upon here and the rest they say is history.” He explains and I smile “So this is like your secret hideout?” I ask and he nods.      “Kind of, but it’s a secret hideout that I’m willing to share with you.” He says and I grin “For your kindness, you shall be repaid with this doughnut.” I say handing it to him and he bursts out laughing.          “What else did you manage to carry in those pockets?” he asks biting into the doughnut and spi

     “How’d you find that cafe?” I ask Aiden as we walk on the sidewalk, “Ross gets my coffee and his team from there. He did mention something about a poor girl and an abusive bastard. It just clicked now.” He says and I nod before asking “So their coffee is to your taste?’ and at that he laughs before wrapping his arm around my waist and moving me closer to his side.            “It used to be,but not anymore.” He says and I hum,. “Is my new face appealing?” he asks and I turn to look up at him. He had straightened out his curls and tIed into a short ponytail and was sporting a scruffy beard. The stud that used to be on his ear was no longer there a d his emerald green eyes were now a startling shade of blue, but he was still as hot as always.     Running my hands through his beards I look up at him, "It’d take sometime to get used to your blue eyes, but still it’s appealing.

    "Are you still mad?" I ask as I unlock my door but he remains quiet. "Alright,your still mad." I mutter as I open the door and step in.  The moment the door is locked behind us, Aiden spins me around quickly pressing my back against the door.      "I don't like seeing other guys flirting with you." He murmurs staring down at me and I swallow at how low his voice is.       "But I didn't flirt back and we're not even...." I begin but drift off, "Aren't you going to finish your sentence?" He asks or more like dares as his hands move under my skirt and he starts tracing his finger at the back of my legs and I shiver.           "You're mine Hadley.." he begins as his hands go higher, "Not that bloke at the carnival, not that guy at the restaurant or every other guy that kept on staring

 was at the work station trying out some of Grandma Lily’s recipe when Cam called out that I had a package.Cleaning my hands, I go out to meet him, holding a huge carton and I raise a brow.  “I haven’t opened it honestly.” He says raising a hand up and I nod“Who’s it from?” I ask as I sign the delivery form and the delivery agent leaves.“Can’t you guess?”“Aiden.” I say before quickly running behind the counter to collect it from him.  Untying the bow, I unwrap the package before opening the box and the contents immediately makes Cam squeal in delight.    Reaching for the card attached, I quickly swipe it before he does.   Turning it over, I see a scrawled message from Aiden.“Can’t get the image of you in this out of my head, so I bought you one. Wear it tonight, with the shortest gown you have .
