Chapter 41 You Didn't Hit Me

• Aiden’s [POV]
• The afternoon hadn’t gone exactly how I expected, but any time with Lexa was time well spent. I’d brought her to her apartment which was much smaller than I’d expected, but more private. She had told me she liked it that way and with her job, she didn’t need a huge place. Her life was in and out, and I could tell that by the minimalistic approach to decorating it. There wasn’t much that had to be dusted, and everything was in its place. Made sense.
• I’d helped her undress and walked her to the shower, but before I could get her good and soaped up, my phone rang. It had been Layne telling me that things were underway and then, of course, he’d wanted to talk. I’d cut him short, but she’d finished up without me.
