Is this destiny?

Sarah found Aiden in the study.

"You are by yourself?", she asked when she closed the door behind her.

"Yeah. Jeff was here and about ten minutes ago he bolted out of here." Aiden gestured toward the door, indicating the way Jeff left.

"Do you think that he figured out how to fix things with Anna?"

"Either that or he was very eager to jump off a cliff." Aiden responded with irritation obvious in his voice.

Sarah walked to Aiden and sat in his lap. "I am sorry for all this messing up with our honeymoon. I promise to make it up to you. If nothing else pops up, tomorrow we can return to Vegas."

Aiden exhaled helplessly. What is he supposed to say? That few days of their honeymoon are more important than saving a bunch of girls from a grim fate, and taking over locations owned by a bad guy for their army of Chaos, or helping their siblings mend their relationship? If he says that, he will sound selfish.

But he was thinking that if he denied her request to follow Akmal, the two of them would right now be in the honeymoon suite of the Bellagio hotel, on the bed, naked. They would be unaware of Akmal's sex trafficking and then Sarah would not call JoAnna which in turn would not make JoAnna and Jeff bicker (not now at least).

Sarah can see that Aiden's mood is off and she thought how to pacify him. She caressed his cheek and said lovingly: "Thank you for seeing my faults as kintsugi."

"Your what?"

"My faults. You see, kintsugi is…"

"You have no faults. You are perfect.", Aiden interrupted her explanation.

Sarah smiled. "That is exactly what kintsugi is."

Aiden's palms landed on Sarah's back, under her shirt and his fingers caressed her soft skin, silently telling her the part he is missing the most: the two of them, intimate.

Sarah moved to straddle him before their lips connected.

Their flavors mixed and the heat between them was increasing when they heard a knock on the door.

Sarah wanted to stand up, but Aiden held her in place and his expression told her that he has no intention of allowing her to move.

She took a deep breath and called: "Yes?"

The door cracked open and the cook peeked in.

"Madam…", he stopped his steps and in an instant lowered his gaze at the sight of Sarah and Aiden on the chair behind the executive desk. He can't see Aiden's hands, because they are under Sarah's t-shirt, but she is sitting on Aiden's lap facing him, and it's obvious that the cook interrupted something. The fact that the desk is blocking the view of Sarah and Aiden waist down is only making the whole situation more ambiguous. 

"Yes?", Sarah repeated.

"Mr. White is in the kitchen… Doing something…", the cook said awkwardly. "We asked him to wait because we are preparing dinner, but he said that it's important."

Sarah sighed. "Is he in your way?"

The cook paused while thinking about how to formulate his answer as politically correct. "At this rate, we will be half an hour late with dinner."

Sarah glanced at Aiden and they shared an understanding that Jeff must be doing something for JoAnna.

"That is fine. Let him do his thing. Half an hour late dinner is fine. Inform our guests of this change.", Sarah instructed.

"Yes. I apologize for intruding…", the man said while closing the door behind him.

Sarah turned to Aiden. "What do you think Jeff is making?"

Aiden shrugged. "He was never much of a cook and I don't want to think about him."

"What do you want to think about, my husband?"

"Your pants. I want you to remove them." Aiden said with a straight face.

Sarah looked at him defiantly. "No. You do it for me."

Aiden's eyebrows shoot up and he grinned. "At your service, Mrs. White…"

Aiden stood up and placed Sarah to sit on the desk.

His fingers swiftly worked on the buttons of her pants and he didn't pause his movements when he called: "Eve, lock the door…"

One second later, they heard the distinct sound of the door being locked.

"In the moments like these, I wish that you are a skirt type of a woman…", Aiden complained while throwing Sarah's pants to the side. Removing the pants takes longer than just pushing the skirt up.

Sarah giggled and hopped off the desk. She finds the surface hard and cold, and she remembered that JoAnna said how she and Jeff like to get intimate on office desks. Sarah will not understand that, the floor is better. The floor provides more space, it's softer and warmer. Of course, if it's carpeted.

"You are impatient.", Sarah voiced her observation teasingly at the sight of Aiden who was already undressed.

Aiden's devilish smile was on his face while he walked slowly toward her. "How this honeymoon is going, I want to make sure I take advantage of every minute because I don't know when the next person in need will come our way and you will start a rescue operation while keeping me on the side… waiting…"

Sarah eyed the impossibly handsome man who is approaching her with fire in his eyes and she returned his smile. "I will not make you wait any longer… I miss you as well…"

Aiden's lips claimed Sarah's and his hot palms landed on her body while she pulled him closer and both of them were consumed in the flames they are very familiar with.

Sarah was surprised when her back hit the door. She was not aware that with all the kissing and touching they are moving.

Aiden grabbed her buttocks, lifting her slightly and she held onto his shoulders while he made his way inside her.

Neither of them moved as they enjoyed the feeling of being merged as one. But it was only a few seconds, before his hips moved, eager to feel the friction which will push both of them toward pure ecstasy.

Sarah thought that she heard knock on the door, and if the first time she imagined it, the second time she definitely heard it.

"Sarah?", JoAnna's voice sounded from the other side of the door.

Sarah looked at Aiden in panic and his expression told her that she needs to get rid of her sister because there is no way he will stop what he is doing.

Sarah closed her eyes and hoped that JoAnna will go away, but then there was another knock, and she heard JoAnna's voice again, louder this time: "Sarah?"

"Yes?", Sarah responded while doing her best to control her tone to sound normal.

The doorknob moved, but luckily (for Sarah and Aiden), the door was locked.

"Why is the door locked?", JoAnna was unable to hide her surprise. It's a study room. Is there a need to lock the door?

"We are doing some… planning… secret… sorry.", Sarah said breathlessly while glaring at Aiden with eyes that struggled to hold focus. Can he at least stop moving?

"Oh, OK. Is Jeff with you? I can't find him, and I am… worried.", JoAnna said.

JoAnna didn't see Jeff since they parted earlier that afternoon, and she knows that he is depressed and unstable. No matter what the current state of their relationship is, she does not want him to hurt himself. JoAnna does not see Jeff as a suicidal type, but Jeff was always about extremes and she wants to confirm that he is safe.

JoAnna was so consumed into her thoughts about Jeff that she didn't even think about the possibility of what Sarah and Aiden are doing on the other side of that locked door.

Sarah struggled to talk, and Aiden's mischievous expression dressed in lust told her that he is enjoying this situation and that he has no intention to stop the movements of his hips.

"Don't worry… I'm sure he is… thinking… go and rest… until dinner…"

JoAnna is not satisfied with Sarah's answer, but she understood that Sarah is busy and that she does not know where Jeff is.

"OK. Happy planning…"

Sarah held her breath and heard steps disappear down the hallway, indicating that JoAnna left.

"Oh, God…", Sarah moaned while gripping Aiden's shoulders as waves of pleasure pulsed through her body with every move he made.

She was embarrassed by the fact that her sister was only a few inches away, on the other side of the door, but at the same time, it gave her a rush of being caught.

Sarah wondered, how can Aiden be so shameless? But then she remembered that he never cared much about the time or the place. And she loves him just the way he is. Perfect. He is her kintsugi.
