章 172: For me to use.

Aiden wanted to tease her further but froze for a heartbeat, startled by Arwen's boldness. The intensity of her kiss left no room for hesitation. Her fingers clutched his collar tightly, pulling him closer as if trying to chain him solely to her. There was no gentleness in the way she kissed him —only fierce, unrelenting passion that left no doubt about her claim on him. 

When Aiden realized the depth of her emotions, Jason's words from earlier rang in his ears again: She never stopped loving you. Her mind might have lost the memory of you, but her heart never let you go. It is just a matter of time before she realizes the feelings she has buried deep inside her. 

Those words echoed in his mind, shattering the last remnants of his restraints. Aiden couldn't hold himself back from responding with equal frevor. His hands cradled her face, matching her urgency.
