She hadn’t done much, but she had changed me.

She had introduced me to many things I didn't know I could feel: nervousness, jealousy, possessiveness, shame, and a whole lot of confusion.

I kissed her lips and she muttered in her sleep.

“You’re beautiful, Crystal. Very beautiful," I said softly.

Did someone like me deserve a girl like her?

A question I was scared to know the answer to.

But I decided to bother about it later.

All I needed was to sleep and worry about it in the morning.

When I woke up the next day, however, she wasn't there.

Without her presence, the entire house seemed much larger and empty.

Once again, I was… alone.

Chapter eleven

Let's Play Hard

Crystal

I woke up from one of the most beautiful dreams I had ever dreamt.

I had made love to a strong man, and he had satisfied me so much that I ended up sleeping by his side.

Even as I woke up, my vagina felt sore.

I tried to make sense of my surroundings since I didn't immediately remember where I was.

Then there was the sound of someone breathing next to me.

I turned and saw Adam sleeping soundly on his back. His chest was visible from the sheets, so I could easily tell that he was naked.

My eyes went lower toward his groin area; there was a noticeably large swelling there.

I gulped and looked down at myself. I was naked as well.

Maybe because I had just woken up, I struggled to make sense of why I was in this bed, lying naked next to Adam....when I had made it clear that no matter what we did, we would never cross the line and have sex.

But maybe I had trusted myself a bit too much.

As I tried to make sense of things, my phone started to ring.

I quickly reached for it and answered.

Adam didn't wake up but just groaned and laid on his side.

"Hello?" I whispered.

"Good morning, niecey! I came back home but you weren't there," she said, "Did you sleep at the hospital because of the rain?"

Rain?
