Okay. Maybe…Maybe I’m Gay.

Am I gay? Or… at least into guys? Or… just Dominic?

I blinked rapidly, my vision blurring for a second.

Because that was a question I'd spent my entire life avoiding. I'd told myself I just didn't care about dating. That I was too busy, too focused on Alia, on Mom, on school.

But now…

The idea of Dominic pinning me against a wall, kissing me breathlessly… his hands roaming lower… Whispering those filthy words in my ear… yeah. That was definitely not a straight thought

A flush raced across my skin, so hot I felt dizzy.

God, I couldn't even lie to myself anymore.

I wanted him.

I wanted to know what it felt like to kiss him. To have him touch me everywhere. To see if I'd actually make those sounds he teased me about.

I squeezed my eyes shut, still groaning.

Okay. Maybe…maybe I am gay.

And somehow, that thought terrified me…and excited me all at once.

I opened my eyes, scanning the corridor.
