He looked around to see the party breaking up.
“Why don’t you girls go home and come back tomorrow morning?”
Graham wrapped an arm around Faith. “Let’s go, baby.”
Faith nodded, and the rest came up to get their women. Trent noticed Beth stood off to the side, looking worried but trying to put space between herself and the family again. It was something they still needed to work on, but later.
The last guest had gone within the hour, and the staff was cleaning up. He had no idea how often he answered people’s questions about where Aria was. He just told them she had started to feel ill, so she went up to their room to rest.
Trent ensured security was in place before making his way upstairs to his woman. He thought about all the possibilities that might happen the next day, and very few of them were positive, considering the young man’s attitude.
He walked into their bedroom to see Mateo and Aria in bed, in each other’s arms, talking. He locked the door behind him. “I’ll be right in, guys.”
Mateo nodded.
Trent showered and wrapped a towel around his waist. He turned off all the lights except for one by the bed, then tossed his towel aside and slid into bed behind Aria. He curled his body around her and kissed the back of her neck.
“How are you doing, pet?”
She sniffed. “I don’t know. On the one hand, I’m numb, but on the other, there’s a ball of fiery pain in my heart, and I know it’s just going to get worse.”
Fuck, he wanted to kill Lorenzo in the worst way. This woman had been through enough. “How about we take it minute by minute right now? Your son is here in the house, and you’ll see him tomorrow. You’ll be able to talk to him then.”
She squeezed the arm that he wrapped around her waist.
“I won’t be able to sleep unless…”
“Unless what, pet?”
“She needs a hard loving with both of us at the same time.”
Trent kissed her ear. “Are you sure?”
“Yes. It’s the only thing I can think of that will help me feel anything but misery and fury right now,” she said.
“We’ll give you whatever you need.”
She turned her head and kissed him.
As soon as he wrapped her in his arms, his whole focus was on her and making her feel better. At the moment, she needed the bonding to help her feel more centered and in control, and they would give her whatever she needed.
