Suddenly, I’m inches away. My mind is screaming out against this.Aiden, stop! You can’t kiss her! Especially not here in front of everyone like this. You have no idea what her reaction will be. If it’s a bad one, it could blow your whole married couple cover.
The screaming gets through for a brief moment, at least enough to cause me to pause. I’m still staring at her lips and trying to remind myself why we’re here when Ryan’s voice interrupts the fight in my head.
“Okay, give her a sweet passionate kiss for the camera, Aiden,” he directs. My eyes dart to hers, wondering what look they would hold at the thought of kissing me. Not just any kiss, but here in front of all these people and for a magazine the whole world will have access to.
What will she want me to do? Is this going to be uncomfortable? Will everyone be able to tell it isn’t real?
But she’s smiling patiently, giving me the green light I need. My brain finally gives up the fight, and I act on pure impulse.
I practically lunge toward her. Our lips meet with a force I can’t control. They are practically magnetic, with a pull too strong which attests to their desires. I kiss her with a passion, feeling like this is the first thing in my life I’ve ever wanted this much. I can sense as she leans into it, not resisting.
As soon as I feel her lips pressing back on mine, my clamoring brain grinds to a complete halt. I kiss her with every bit of passion I’ve been holding back. I hear the camera click, and everyone in our background cheers, breaking me out of the moment.
Damn. not a single part of me wants to stop. Why couldn’t we do fifteen takes of that? I want her, and I want her right now.

Once the photoshoot is over, I’m eagerly waiting to find out what we will do next. After all the tension and passionate kiss during the shoot, I’m secretly hoping for some more time together.
He planned this trip all by himself, so I really don’t know exactly what to expect. To be honest, I thought maybe we’d just have a quickie ceremony and that would be it. The fact that we’ve been here three days already is more than I anticipated.
But they’ve all been so perfect. This resort is incredible. There are bars, restaurants, exercise classes, a spa and more.
If we were a real couple, this would be amazing, as the resort definitely leans hard into the romance. Couples massage, fun newlywed games, that sort of thing. Even as a fake couple, we’re having a good time, but there’s always that little part of me that feels like a fraud.
Not to mention a part of me that worries if I get more time with him, it’ll be even harder to stop myself. I’m torn between wanting this over now and never wanting it to end.
He’s so good-looking, and his kiss holds a charge I didn’t even know existed before feeling it. I’m insatiable around him; I want as much as he’ll give me. He’s not saying anything as we walk down the hall to the door of our room at the resort, and I’m too anxious to wait any longer.
“So, what happens now?” I ask.
The key to our room is programmed into our phones through an app the resort offers. He turns his phone screen to the reader just long enough for me to hear the beep, then holds the door to let me in. Walking in behind me, I hear him set the phone down on the coffee table a minute later.
“I think we’ll stay here for a few more days. I’ve already filed my leave of absence. What are a few more days going to hurt? I want to make the most of our time here,” he says in a tone that leaves me wondering what he means.
It’s going to hurt my heart,I think. The idea of us being alone for a few more days makes my heart race and my palms sweat. I want as much time with him as I can get. I just don’t know how to control myself.
I look out the window behind him and notice the sun is setting beautifully behind the water, and I decide it’s my cue to go to bed.
If I walk away now, it’ll leave less blank space for us to fill with bad choices… Especially when we need to break the sexual tension between us after the shoot.
Aiden smiles as I fake a yawn.
“You look exhausted,” he says.
“I am. I think I’m going to call it a night,” I say, turning toward the bedroom.
“Okay, sounds good. Thank you for coming and doing the shoot today. I appreciate it. I’m going to run downstairs for a little while. I need to talk to Dwayne at the front desk to make sure we can extend our stay a bit longer,” I hear him say from behind me.
I want to say something, but I need to get away from him. So I don’t stop him, instead waiting in the privacy of the bedroom and listening to his footsteps walk toward the door. When I hear it click shut behind him, I let out a deep breath.
Now that I am alone, I don’t go to bed at all. Instead, I head straight for the balcony. It’s gorgeous as the orange glow radiates off the ocean. The waves are settling, and it looks like even the ocean is getting ready for her night’s rest.
As I stare out at the water, I can’t help my mind replaying the feeling of his hands on my skin. I close my eyes and try to feel them again. I want the intensity of their warmth and the feeling of his lips on mine.
Thinking of our kiss sends a wave of goosebumps across my skin, only making me crave more. My heart pounds as I picture his lips on different areas of my skin. He’s getting to me, and I feel myself spiraling out of control with the dirty thoughts dancing around my head.
