Danger, danger, danger.

My hands clench together. My body is straining to be closer. I want to touch him, reach up and caress his gorgeous face.

A warm smile teases his lips, and my eyes zero in like a missile on a mission.

I want, I want, I want… to kiss them, to taste their softness… and for him to kiss me back, to part my lips and let our tongues dance together.

Stop it, NOW, Ella!I yell at myself in my head.

Chapter Eighteen

Ella

Don’tdoit!

With a heavy sigh and heart, I force myself to take a step back, my gaze dropping to the floor. I’m sure I’m beet red, my imagination of how he’s not an angel taking over.

I need to see him naked again. Feel his skin under my fingertips.

ELLA!!!! For fuck’s sake, stop it!

My body is buzzing. I need to stop thinking about Aiden… especially naked! But I can’t get the images from this morning from my mind.

Pink elephants… think about pink elephants.

“Excuse me for a moment,” I croak without looking at him and flee to a nearby bathroom, my heart jack hammering in my chest. Locking the door firmly behind me, I lean against it.

I’m staring right into a mirror.

Shit, I look like I’ve just been fucked. My cheeks are flushed, my eyes dilated, and I’m still hot and tingling all over. And all that without him even touching me.

What was that?

That, ladies and gentlemen, was the undeniable reason Aiden Burg is no good for me.

This cannot lead to anything good.

If I went down the path of my desire and Tieroeverfound out, Aiden would be a dead man. He might already be just for having an interest in me.

If I thought I was screwed before, I underestimated the seriousness of my situation. I’m not just totally screwed… I’m doomed!

I need to find a new resolve to make Aiden stay away, and fast.

How can I have feelings for a man other than Tiero so quickly?

For crying out loud, I met Aiden only three days ago. This is a fluke. It can’t be real. It just can’t be.

But the annoying little voice inside is back and reminds me I fell for Tiero just as fast. I had known from the moment we met that my heart was lost to him. Why couldn’t it happen again?

Can I love two men at the same time?

Because what I feel for Tiero hasn’t lessened one bit. I’m thinking of him all the time, every bit of me longing for him. But to run away was the right decision, and I have to live with the consequences.

If my feelings for Aiden were true, wouldn’t that wipe out what I have with Tiero?

But what about polyamorous relationships? It’s clearly possible to love more than one person romantically.

Laughter bubbles up inside me just contemplating Tiero sharing me with another man.
