Beautiful Mistake

(MATURE CONTENT AHEAD)

Alexia's POV

I shouldn't have let it happen.

I knew that.

Even through the hazy warmth of wine spreading through my veins, I knew this was reckless. Dangerous. A decision I couldn't take back.

But then Aiden looked at me.

That look—the one that burned, the one that made my skin feel too hot, my breath too shallow, my body too aware of how close he was.

And suddenly, I didn't care about consequences.

I cared about this. About him. About the way my heart slammed against my ribs when he leaned in.

His lips crashed against mine, and just like that, I was gone.

The desk was hard against my back, but I barely noticed. Not when Aiden was everywhere—his hands gripping the desk beside me, his body pressing into mine, his lips moving against mine with a hunger that made my head spin.

His taste was intoxicating—whiskey, wine, and something entirely Aiden.
