Chapter 86: I Am Not Alone

Aurora's POV:

As I enter the apartment, I know instantly that I am not alone.

I can feel it; there is a tension ripe in the air. It is an electricity I have come to know well. It is the current that underlies every conversation we have. It is present in every look of his eye and every touch of his skin.

The feelings that tension inspires are addictive and the knowledge that I am not alone leaves me with an urgency to see him, touch him, have him inside me.

I am not alone.

It is a big apartment. Five thousand square feet and yet I can sense his presence the instant I walk through the door.

The apartment is far bigger than the one I lived in less than a month ago, the one my parents bought for me when I started my English Literature degree. They still think I live there with Tallulah and Cameron, my best friends. I have yet to work up the courage to tell them that I've moved in with my boyfriend after only knowing him a couple of weeks.
