It's just too, too much once again, and as my body arches in an explosion of pleasure, I can no longer deny the truth.

Jamieson is in the past.

Zahir is my present.

And our future is—-aaaaaaaah.

The way he thrusts his finger back inside of me triggers another round of orgasm, and all I can do is moan and jerk helplessly against his mouth as he hungrily laps every drop of my come like it's sweeter than honey.

My legs collapse and unfold in the aftermath, and I'm still trying but drastically failing to catch my breath by the time he finally resurfaces.

Golden eyes gleam down at me...and I feel myself blushing from head to toe as he deliberately lets me watch him wipe off a drop of cum from the corner of his mouth before licking it off his thumb.

It's the hottest thing I've ever seen in my life—-

And it terrifies me to death—-

Because of how it makesmewant to be as crazy as Mom.

Chapter Ten

MY HEART HASN'T STOPPEDthudding against my chest since I left Zahir's room. I also have a hard time breathing, and my knees seem like they're only a second away from turning into jelly.

IknowI'm not doing anything wrong.

So why does it feel like every step that takes me further away from him is like a stab to his heart?

It's not like I lied to him or anything.

He knows where I'm going.

And who I'm meeting.

So why then?

Why has pain pierced my heart the moment I enter the hotel library, and why do I feel like I've committed high treason as soon as I come to a stop in front of Jamieson?

"That's new, isn't it?"

"The d-dress?"

"He bought that for you?"

I nod.

"Things sure change fast," he says bitterly. "You never used to let me buy anything for you."

My fingers dig deep into my palms. I wish I could tell him the reason for that was because the clothes he wanted to buy were clothes I could never see myself wearing. But if I do...won't it just make things worse?

"And I guess he's also the reason you said no to us meeting in my room."
