Chapter 33: Taking Chances

Gwen’s thoughts were on fire. She knew very well she couldn’t say the truth, but her heart was clearly winning that battle. He was so close and giving her all the signs that he wanted the same thing.

Even though they were mad at each other, the sexual tension between them was very much alive. She could not fight that, no matter how hard she tried.

Finn had the incredible ability to make her rethink every single decision she had already made about him. It was clear as crystal that she couldn’t be with him anymore, but every time they were close to each other, she started to reconsider every topic on the list.

Why couldn’t she try again? Why did it have to be so hard for them to be together? She knew the answer to all of those questions, but that night, she failed herself; she failed being able to resist him.

His fingers were still around her arms, gripping her with desperation. Finn closed his eyes for a brief second, trying to control himself.
