This was just sex.
Right?
But my body betrays me. I sink into the warmth of the bed. Into the solid weight of him behind me.
My breathing slows. My eyes flutter shut.
I should leave before morning. Before this starts feeling like something it’s not.
But then Kai exhales, his hand smoothing over my hip, his fingertips tracing lazy circles there.
And just like that, sleep takes me before I can make the right choice.
As slumber embraces me, my last thought is I know I should go.
But I don’t.
And Kai? He holds me like I’m his without even realizing it.
This was supposed to be nothing.
But it doesn’t feel like nothing.
