A gasp leaves my throat when he drops the towel from my body, hauls me over his shoulder, and rushes into the bedroom. I bounce on the bed after he tosses me onto it and crawls up it seconds later, in the space between my legs.

He caresses my hair while staring down at me, his forehead still beaded with water. “I should have said that a long time ago, huh?”

“Yes, definitely.” I curl my legs around his hips, drawing him closer. “Same goes for me. I should’ve told you how much I love you.”

His lips curl into a smile before he slowly kisses me.

We’re wet against the sheets as he makes love to me just as slow, whispering he loves me with every thrust.

My life was empty until I met Rex.

He filled me with light.

Then, when that light began to fade, he lifted me up.

No matter what I’ve gone through, he’s always been by my side.

My dark times are always brightened with the lightness he brings to me.

I stare up at him, watching his face flood with love and desire as he makes love to me.

I know what I need to do.

I have to fix what could break us.

Eventually,Rex has to shower by himself.

I don’t join him. It’d probably end up with wet, sloppy sex again.

My grip on the phone is so tight that I’m shocked my fingers aren’t crushing it.

This has to end.

Rex has opened up his heart to me, giving me his all.

I owe him the same.

If he were to ever find out my secrets, it’d damage our trust.

Would he hate me if I told him? Probably not.

Would he try to fix it? Yes.

Would he hate me when I told him not to? Yes.

It hurts my heart to know I’m hiding this, but he can’t know.

A chill crawls up my spine, and I take a deep, steadying breath when I hithisname.

Me: This has to end.

It takes him less than a minute to respond.

James: No. We’re not ready.

Me: I AM READY.
