Aidan knew what she wanted when she kissed him again. If this had been under different circumstances, he wouldn't have given in. But they had been together before and were heading down that road again. This wasn't taking advantage of her, it was offering comfort. Maybe not the healthiest way or what was ultimately best for her, but in a way he could definitely give her something right now.

He pulled her close, kissing her back with patient need as he enjoyed the feel of her against him.
