Again.
I slunk around the corner and leaned my back against the wall.
Part of—
A large part of me—
Urged me to go back and keep watching them.
Wow.
There really was something wrong with me.
Their moaning floated into the hallway—and I clenched, feeling myself drip again into my panties.Just imagining what those two were doing on Stefan's desk was driving me crazy.
Good grief.
I really needed to get out of here.

The images of Carlo and Eve having sex on Stefan's desk were—burned—into my mind.And I didn't know what to do.
Should I tell Giselle?She was so close to her due date, though.This news might send her right over the edge, putting her health—and the baby's—at risk.And if that happened, it would be my fault.Well, partially my fault anyway.
It wasn't like I forced them to cheat on their partners.
But—if something did happen, I would feel responsible.
Carlo and Eve seemed pretty comfortable with each other.This likely wasn't their first encounter.
If I told Stefan, he'd probably go ballistic on his brother.And since all these people needed to get along for the foreseeable future—I'd just have to keep my mouth shut.At least until after Giselle had the baby.
Until then, she was toohelpless.We just witnessed earlier what her state of mental health was right now.Even Dani said that Giselle cries at the drop of a hat.Hearing that her fiancé was having sex with her best friend wouldn't help.
Yeah.
I'd have to keep my mouth shut.
Tight.I wandered up the stairs in a daze.I really couldn't believe what I witnessed.Before this happened, I knew that people sucked.I'd learned that my entire life.No one ever followed through on what they said they were going to do.No one wanted to help you with anything.Everyone had an ulterior motive.Life had hardened me to these realities.Maybe it was spending time with Stefan that brought my naturally made guardrails down.Against my better judgment, I'd let him in.And having his friends help so much with our wedding, and with keeping me safe, I'd started trusting them, too.
I shook my head at myself.Because I knew better.
People.
Sucked.
Everything was quiet down the hall to the right, where everyone was staying.That was good.Hopefully Eve and Carlo would be done screwing each other's brains out before anyone accidentally found them in Stefan's office.
Like I had.
A definite ache settled between my thighs.
Carlo was—huge.
I wondered what having—all that—inside of me would feel like?Stefan was more than enough for me to handle.And I'd never ask for more.
