Chapter 14

For the first time, maybe in my whole life, I woke up feeling completely rested. The sunbeams filtered in from the partially opened curtains. I stretched like a cat and then rolled onto my side.

Preston was sprawled out next to me, taking up most of the space in the bed. I had stolen all the covers, leaving his naked body exposed. I took a moment to appreciate his physique. He looked younger in his sleep, his face at peace, not worrying about his family or thinking of something witty to say.

I reached over to brush his hair out of his eyes but then pulled my fingers back as if I’d been shocked. He wasn’t mine. Even if he was in my bed, he’d never be mine. That would’ve been too intimate of a gesture.

Last night was a mistake. I replayed the highlight reel in my mind and blushed. It was a massive, colossal mistake that left me completely satisfied and excited about someone else for the first time. I didn’t know what I was going to do, telling him the truth felt like an impossible task, even though I knew he was going to find out eventually.

And the worst part was a lot of my attraction to Preston was his ability to always be so honest with me. I was a liar. Or at least I kept truths from him. That was just as bad, if not worse.

Preston rolled over and reached for me, eyes still closed.

“You’re a blanket hog.” He lifted the comforter to reach under and pull me closer, covering himself in the process.

“Sorry. I was cold.”

We shifted into a spooning position, me fitting snugly into him as the little spoon. I felt him growing hard as he pressed into my backside. All I wanted was to turn around and take him inside me again, but instead, I found the willpower to climb out of bed giving the excuse I needed to go to the bathroom, even though he grumbled in protest, reaching into the empty space I left.

I stood in front of the mirror and stared at myself. What had we done? What had I done? I couldn’t go the rest of my life without fucking like that. I wouldn’t be able to stand constantly being so near him, and not being able to have him. And even worse, what about when he found a wife? How could I be around her without wanting to smack her out of pure jealousy that she got to have Preston, and I didn’t?

This was one giant mess. I owed it to him to tell him the truth, or as much of the truth as I could tell. I had to tell him I was dating Cal. And I would have to deal with the repercussions of it. I buried my head in my hands and sighed. I didn’t want to hurt him. I didn’t want to hurt anybody. But I couldn’t drag this out. It would only make it worse.
