Chapter TWENTY-NINE ELLIE

Healthy relationships were built on more than sex.

Everyone said so.

Logically, I knew there must be some truth in that statement.

But there was something to be said for physically connecting with someone. In my not-expert opinion, sex sated more than carnal appetites, it brought people closer.

Having sex with Andres was an intimacy I’d never shared with anyone else, and it made me feel closer to him. It boosted my energy, my confidence, my happiness.

But maybe that was just him. He was so supportive. Easily the kindest, most sincere man I’d ever met.

Andres had been insatiable for me that night. And every night since. I reciprocated that feeling.

And then some.

I wanted the man all the time. Like, all the time. So much so, I actually used the little clitoral massage toy Sofia had bought me as a bachelorette party present, even though I didn’t have a bridal shower.

Note to self. Tell Sofia a thank you when I see her.
