Why waste what little time I had on talking about my feelings, when I might never have the chance to be with him again?

Plus…

And I’m not proud of this…

But Val was like a drug to me.

And I wasaddicted.

His cock could take me to levels of pleasure I’d never experienced with anyone else…

Places I hadn’t even thought possible until I’d been with him.

And his kisses were better than being drunk.

So I put all the other stuff out of my mind…

Stuffed it down in the darkness.

Reminded myself that if this was the last time I ever got to have sex with him, I wouldn’t want to waste it on something I couldn’t change.

So I kissed him…

And he kissed me back…

And we fucked again.

But this time, I think I held a little piece of me back…

Even though I wouldn’t admit it.

Valentino

We had sex again – and while it was incredible, I could tell something was off with Cat.

Like she wasn’t 100% into it.

I mean, she came like she normally did –

And she screamed my name like she normally did –

But something in her seemed sadder. Not quite all there.

I didn’t say anything, though.

We had this limited time together – why ruin it?

I’d dodged a bullet talking about the arranged marriage.

Part of me thought she wouldn’t want to have sex again.

But we did –

And it was great.

However, I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something she was holding back.
