Chapter 98 - Love rival?

Sarah woke up early, excited that it's Friday... last day in the office. Tomorrow they will go to visit her property, soon to be THEIR property. Sarah looks forward to spending time on the fine white sand, at the beach surrounded with tall rocks and cliffs which provide natural fence and privacy... with Aiden.

And then the cave, and the underground lake… Sarah really likes the property and hopes that Aiden will like it as well. She is willing to make any additions to the floorplan to make him happy. And if they can have a house there, that would be perfect. THEIR HOUSE!

Sarah looked at Aiden for some time. 'His sleeping face is enchanting.' She was controlling herself not to touch him, he should sleep. Her eyes were caressing his handsome face and perfect body. Her Greek God! Deity who descended from heaven, just for her. And he is willing to build a home with her, together!

Sarah thought of an idea: pancakes for breakfast! It will be a nice change from usual coffee and pastries they get from shops downstairs.

Sarah scooted out of the bed carefully, went to the kitchen, put on an apron and started working on it. Soon the apartment was filled with a smell of fresh pancakes which woke up Aiden. When he came to the kitchen Sarah was finishing up last batch.

"Good morning!" She greeted him with a big smile. "You are right on time."

He was happy to see her in such a good mood.

"How about breakfast on the terrace?" Sarah looked at him expectantly. It was obvious she gave it some thought already.

He nodded in approval.

"Great! Help me set it up…" Sarah bent to get the plates from the shelf below the counter, and the apron moved revealing her bare bottom. Aiden looked at her from behind and blood rushed to his head when he realized that besides apron, she is not wearing anything else.

Sarah got the plates and straightened her body, only to find herself embraced from behind. Aiden gently kissed back of her neck few times before sinking his teeth into it. Plates from Sarah's hands fell on the counter with a clatter. His lips traveled slowly from her neck inching lower, following her spine. Occasionally his teeth grazed her, and his tongue was not shy either. Sarah's body shivered, and her knees were giving up. She grabbed counter with her hands for support. As his lips went lower down her back, he undid the strings of the apron, revealing her perfect body. Every time his teeth touched her skin, Sarah felt electricity coursing through her. He looked at her slightly bent body over the counter, and his mind went blank from desire. Her breathing was erratic, and she gasped as he took her from behind.

...

On the way to work they stopped at a small coffee shop to get breakfast.

"Because of you pancakes got cold…" Sarah complained while applying cream cheese on the bagel. She could not hide a small smirk at the corner of her lips.

"I suggested to warm them up in the microwave, you refused." Aiden defended himself.

Sarah shook her head. "Reheated pancakes are not good. You need to eat pancakes fresh and warm, so that you can appreciate them."

"I appreciated the cook." Aiden tilted his head and smiled; his eyes locked on her.

Sarah stopped her movements for a second before her lips stretched into a wide smile. "Yes, you did."

He shamelessly smiled, happy with his performance, knowing that he did good. Knowing that it was good for both of them.

Sarah and Aiden enjoyed their time together unaware of anyone around them. That includes a person seated in the opposite corner of the coffee shop.

Evalina was sitting there, watching them intently. 'How can they be so friendly? Didn't he see the report missing important data? He probably didn't review it yet. Today he will review it and then he will see her differently.'

Evalina could not hear what they talked about, and two of them didn't touch or kiss. However, the longer she observed them, it was more obvious that they are very intimate based on how they look and smile at each other. Evalina felt grief consume her... she still remembers three years ago when she came for an interview with White corp. She entered the room, anxious, not sure what to expect. And then her eyes met his. Aiden smiled and greeted her showing where to sit... she remembers how he asked if she had trouble finding the place, and if she wants something to drink before they start... and since then, for three years she looks forward to every day hoping that he will come to office to work, and she gets to see those eyes again. And every day he does not come she gets disappointed and tells herself that it's OK, he might come next day. Every email from him, every chat, gives her strength to wait for next day, the day which she starts with hope that he will show up...

Anguish engulfed her when she realized that those eyes are looking at someone else... he never looked at her in such way. Her emotions transformed into anger when her gaze moved to Sarah. 'She seduced him! She used some underhanded methods to make him look her way. She needs to disappear, and then everything will be back to normal. With her gone, he will look my way, no matter what it takes I will make him look at me!'

Sarah felt chills and shook lightly.

Aiden noticed. He raised his hand and rubbed Sarah's shoulder. "Are you cold?"

Sarah tilted her head and her cheek brushed over his fingers. "I don't know. Let's take the coffee and head out."

From her corner, Evalina narrowed her eyes while observing their interaction. 'You said that you don't like being touched. Liar! Liar! Slut!' She was losing her reasoning, being consumed by fury that was growing within her.
