🧟 ―――― THERE WAS A FIRE WITHIN AIDEN THAT NEGAN COME TO REALLY APPRECIATE. it was a fire that he had seen within her eyes, that lit up her features, when he first met her. he knew from that moment that he just had to have her. she was brave and confident, always spoke her mind, even in situations where she really shouldn't. she was bold enough to speak against him whenever he would say something out of line and it was something negan had come to realize that he needed. even though he understood the words aiden would tell him now and then, he still did what he felt was best because he was the one in charge, not her. it would always be negan's way or the highway, and the highway wasn't a road you wouldn't want to take. nonetheless, he missed hearing her voice and seeing her smile, even her frown. he was happy to have her back, and he ensured the other wives would stay in line and not bring aiden into harm's way again. that wasn't fair, he knew that, and negan was all about fairness.
HE GOT LOST IN HER EYES EASILY. the way she looked at him was unlike any other, and he wouldn't dare trade that for the world. he chuckled lustfully at her words, ❛ oh, you know me so well, baby doll. you always know how to tickle my damn fancy, and it's one of the reasons i love the shit outta you ❜ he replied, a smirk curling his lips as his eyes lingered at her lips, watching her mouth twitch as she spoke. he just wanted to bite them, his tongue swiping over his bottom lip at the desirable thought. he leaned into her touch when her hand cups his cheek, his free hand coming up to rest upon hers, squeezing lightly in a loving manner. ❛ course i did. all i thought 'bout was you, especially on those lonely nights [ . . . . ] ❜ he snickered, teeth digging into his bottom lip now, mouth watering. he's missed her so much, it's true, but of course he has to hide his feelings with sexual words and thoughts. he couldn't be too vulnerable with her; just enough to show her that he did, in fact, love her. in his own twisted way, of course. he nodded, ❛ good 'cause things are gonna change 'round here. no more bullshit with the other girls. ya'll need to mind your space and mind each other. i don't play favorites, aiden, you know this. i love you, i do, but i can't have anyone gettin' into any more of those bullshit cat fights ❜ he stated firmly, looking intently into her eyes. he knew what happened wasn't technically her fault, but he didn't want this to happen again. he warned her to stay out of harm's way so he didn't have to do something he didn't want to do. his lips instantly mold with hers once she kisses him, his hand squeezing hers just a bit tighter as tingles shivered down his spine. he hummed into their wet kiss, giggling softly, ❛ i treat all of ya'll the same and that's nothin' short of the best, baby ❜ he told her against her lips and then kissed her again but harder this time.
