Intimacy Without Feelings

Aiden's POV

Yes, I left before she woke up.

I didn't know how to face her.

What we did… it wasn't part of the plan.

And fuck, when I was cleaning her up, I still wanted her. That frightened me.

This wasn't supposed to happen. She wasn't supposed to happen.

I didn't love Alexia. My heart was with Liz. I had spent years believing that. So why was I so drawn to her?

Why did the feel of her skin still linger on my hands? Why did the memory of her moans still echo in my mind?

I exhaled sharply, pinching the bridge of my nose as I sat in my office. I had thrown myself into work the moment I left her, trying to shake off whatever this was.

It was just the wine.

Just a mistake.

Nothing more.

Then why the hell did I almost go back?
