Alexia's POV
Waking up naked—but somehow clean—on the couch in Aiden's office was definitely not something I had ever imagined for myself. Not in a million years.
The dim glow of the office lights cast long shadows on the walls, and as I slowly sat up, my muscles ached in places they never had before. Aiden's scent surrounded me—on the leather couch, on my skin, in the air.
I swallowed hard.
His black suit jacket was draped over me, covering my bare skin, and the realization hit like a freight train. We had slept together.
My heart pounded as flashes of what happened raced through my mind. His hands on me, the way he kissed me like he wanted to consume me, the way he whispered my name in that low, husky voice—
I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to slow my breathing.
He had been rough, then gentle. He had taken his time. He had taken me.
And I had let him.
Shit.
