I grin as I flop down onto my bed, snuggling against my pillow. This is the first step for us to become closer.

My heart flip flops.

I am so in love with him. I can’t wait for him to show me how he feels about me too.

CHAPTER ELEVEN

Masaccio

Ipush myself off the bed almost as soon as it’s over.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me - I feel - overwhelmed. I feel weird.

Glancing down at her, for a moment, I can’t help but think how beautiful she is.

But then I shake my head, forcing the thought away. I turn to grab my things and leave the room. I just need to get out of here. That’s all.

I got caught up in the moment. The idea of someone wanting me so intensely that they could tell the difference between my identical twin brother and myself - someone I don’t even know very well -

She didn’t just want to experience losing her virginity - she wantedme.

No one else.

I sigh heavily. Forcing the air out of my lungs as though I am trying to throw these ridiculous thoughts out with it.

That felt too good.

That’s the problem.

It felt fucking incredible and almost as soon as I walk away from her - I want more.

I storm into my room and close the door.

Dammit.

I should never have done that.

I’ve made a massive mistake giving in to that urge.

But fuck. She was standing there, angry - angry because it wasn’t me kissing her. She made me feel - something.

And her body. That shred of fabric she was holding up against herself hid nothing.

It was just impulse.

I acted on impulse and did not think that through.

But it’s fine.

I’ll get some sleep and tomorrow things should be more settled.

She got what she wanted - and now she can step back and leave me the hell alone.

Besides, she’ll probably still be mad as hell about Tuomo going into her room first. She might just be over me which would be a relief.

All night I toss and turn in my bed.

I have these stupid images in my head of being in her bed. I can’t stop thinking about it.
