Aiden’s POV

Liam and Allison turn to head towards the house.  I know
that I should follow them, but damn it I’m holding her and I don’t want to let
go.  She stands still in my arms not trying to break our connection.  My right
arm is still draped across her waist holding her tight against my chest.  I
gently grip her left hip and turn her to face me.  She’s staring straight at my
chest, not meeting my eyes.  I gently lift her chin with my index finger.  Fuck
she is so beautiful.  What if something would have happened to her today?   I
can feel the anger trying to resurface.  I take a deep breath and exhale
slowly.  Hailey is silently watching me now.  I lean down and rest my forehead
against hers and close my eyes.  Both of my hands find her hips.  I’m going to
take every advantage to touch her that I can.

“I was worried about you, angel.” I tell her honestly.  Well
as honest as I can be.

“Aiden, we were fine.  Those guys were just being friendly.”

“You don’t know them.  Hell, they could have taken you both
and did God only knows what to you.”  I swallow back the emotion of just the
thought of her being hurt.

“I’m not yours to worry about.” She whispers.

And there it is the knife that is twisting in my chest. 
She’s right, I know it and she knows it, but fuck if I like it.

I pull back and bring both of my hands to her cheeks. 
“Angel, I care about you.  You may not be mine, but I will never let anything
happen to you.  Do you understand that?” I ask her.  I really need her to know
how special she is.

“One big brother is enough, Aiden.  You don’t have to feel
obligated to protect me.”

“Who said I wanted to be your big brother?” I ask trying to
keep my voice calm.  This is truly a daunting feat with all of the rage boiling
inside me.  She thinks I want to be her big brother? 
Fuck that!

“Don’t you?  Why else would you go all alpha Aiden and try
to keep me from them?” she asks me. 

I watch her closely as she waits for my answer. This
beautiful girl has no idea the war I have fought these past few months.  She
has no idea how she affects me, how much I want her.  This is killing me. 
Wanting something this much, something that I can’t have.  She licks her lips and
now all I can think about is tasting her.  I don’t even realize that I’m going
to do it until our lips meet and I’m consumed with her sweetness.  Lips of an
angel, I tell you.

I move one hand behind her neck and the other is holding her
cheek.  I angle her head back and deepen the kiss.  Hailey opens her mouth and
I take full advantage to slide my tongue in and hers immediately duals with
mine.  She moans and my desire is fueled.  I can’t get her close enough, can’t
get enough period.  Hailey slows the kiss and pulls her lips from mine.  I tug
her into a tight embrace. 

“I need for you to always be safe.  Not because I feel like
your older brother, but because you are important to me.  I couldn’t handle it
if something happened to you.”

I feel her nod against my chest.  “Let’s go, they’re going
to wonder where we are.” I whisper in her ear.

She slowly pulls away from me.  “Thank you, Aiden.” With
that she turns and heads back to the beach house.

I stand there and watch my heart walk away from me.  I place
my hand over my chest and rub the ache that is throbbing
. 
No girl will ever mean to me what Hailey MacCoy does.
