Pull of attraction

Matteo’s Pov

I had been with many women. So many I couldn’t count. But I never had any serious relationship with any of them.

I denied being a slave to a label and didn't see myself committing to one while lusting for another.

It would only end up ruining both sides. So why bother?

All the women I had been with were mostly forgotten after one night or two. I didn't know what kind of charm this woman had that I kept desiring her over and over.

‘Leila.’

Even just the mere thought of her name tasted sweet on my tongue.

I thought that fulfilling my desire to have sex with her the second time would stop to my seemingly undeniable attraction to her.

But I was wrong.

When I tried to satisfy my need, what happened between Elsie and me became frustrating. I no longer found anyone else appealing enough. My body yearned for her, having no interest in anyone else.

Was this an adverse side effect of the drug?
