Slowly, my other hand rose resting on his other cheek. “I am ok, Aiden.” I pulled his face toward me until our lips collided.
The big beast crushed his big arms around me. I felt safe and secure snug in his arms. I didn’t want him to ever let me go. Our lips twisted and our teeth clashed. He released my lips and stepped back eyes wide.
“I’m sorry. That wasn’t supposed to happen.”
He stalked into the bedroom. I followed.
“Yes, it was, Aiden. I want your heart. I want you to let me in. I don’t want to find another man. I found him.”
He halted his steps and peeked over his shoulder into my eyes. “No. You can’t handle my life.”
“Damn, Aiden! Try me.”
He continued on. I sat on the bed. Aiden dropped to his knees, rummaging through the large duffel.
He glared at me. “Try you… like a fucking shoe.”
I flew to my feet. “You know what I meant you brooding ass hole. I see why you’re alone. You don’t want to let anyone in,” I yelled then stormed off.
Plopping on the couch, I hugged my legs as the tears spilled.
“I am sorry, Nadia,” the big bear growled.
“No, you’re not. Just do your fucking job,” I spat, rising to my feet.
I couldn’t make eye contact. He shattered my pride. I glanced at the machine gun. “Are we training or what?”
“Yeah.”
Folding my arms, I followed him outside. We stood amongst the tall trees. “Slip on the safety glasses.” He extended his hand.
I snatched the glasses out of his hand then slid them onto my face.
Aiden rambled on about gun safety. I was forced to meet his sad stern gaze. He positioned the AK forty-seven in my hands.
“Focus on the tree in your path.”
I stared at the target through the scope. He wrapped his arms around me, holding the weapon still.
My blood boiled. We needed to hurry up with this lesson.
Crunching numbers would sure feel good right now.
“Fire,” he ordered.
I squeezed the trigger. Several rounds released from the AK forty-seven splintering the tree.
“Good. Do you think you can handle shooting on your own?”
“I’ll try.”
He stepped back.
I squeezed the trigger again firing shots. My lips curled.
“I did it!”
“Good job.”
