Now that she was standing on her personal two ft, he wished her again in his arms, together with her curves pressed towards his physique, her siren-red lips parted with invitation and her shining eyes gazing up into his.

He’d treatment that quickly sufficient.

At the least now he understood the adrenaline rush of the bid, the thick want thrumming via the bloodstream. It was as potent and as heady as any passionate kiss.

Little surprise his older brother, Galan, had bid in final 12 months’s public sale and succumbed to the one lady he’d desired from afar. The fortunate bastard was fortunately married now, and in a number of months’ time would even have his arms full with twins.

Aiden pushed again a sudden spike of envy. He was glad for his older brother, after all he was. Galan deserved all the things good after which some that had come his approach. He’d labored his ass off—all of them had—to get the place they have been now.

Wealthy and profitable past their wildest goals.

However what good was being wealthy and profitable when there was nobody to share it with? Love was the one factor lacking in Aiden’s life, and he’d rattling properly screwed that up the second he’d completed issues with Luna, and damaged her coronary heart.

Except for his long-gone, much-loved mom, Luna had been the one lady in his life he’d ever really cared about, the one particular person he wished he’d by no means let go. Seeing her once more solely highlighted how a lot he missed her, how a lot he nonetheless wished her.

Luna’s eyes glittered as she appeared up at him, as if she too was misplaced up to now. And as if she too believed they have been the one two within the room. “I’m glad you bid,” she admitted softly.

Critically? She hadn’t given off that vibe yesterday.

Hope burned in his chest whilst he narrowed his eyes, assessing her. A pity he couldn’t learn her thoughts. Once they have been youthful, they’d been so shut they’d generally completed off one another’s sentences. However then he’d thought their love would by no means finish, that it’d conquer no matter obstacles have been of their approach.

He couldn’t have been extra rattling flawed.

When he’d misplaced his dad and mom, Luna had tried to consolation him, to defend him from a minimum of a little bit of the horrible grief. However he’d rejected her, turned away from her, deciding there after which that loving somebody wasn’t well worth the heartache and ache.

He’d been so caught up in his personal grief; he hadn’t thought of Luna’s emotions. But now recalling telling her they have been over, his coronary heart wrenched on the reminiscence of her pale, shocked face, her cold lips and staring eyes.

Grief wasn’t any excuse for being an asshole.

The room had grown quiet, the all-male viewers—apart from three or 4 feminine bar employees—ready for Aiden and Luna to clear the room for the subsequent lady to return out on stage. Aiden let go of his somber previous to refocus on the lady of the current.

This was his probability to make amends with Luna, to show to her that he’d fucked up and was past sorry for his mistake. Hell, he’d do something—no matter it took—as long as she forgave him.

A weight lifting off his shoulders, he drew her shut, crooked his neck and repeated into her ear, “Are you positive you’re prepared for this?”
