How I’m able to form coherent sentences and talk to my mother right now is beyond me.

My pulse has yet to resume its normal beat, my skin feels nothing short of on fire, and the need in my core is so visceral, everything aches. I imagine it’s how I’d feel at the peak of an orgasm, only to have my trusty vibrator die.

Even still, part of me relishes in the desperation lingering in my veins. It means that everything that happened wasn’t another one of my dreams. It was real. Elliot and I were seconds away from finally reaching out and grasping what’s been dangling just out of reach for far too long. And it was everything I thought it would be.

No—more. His mouth fit mine in a way that made me feel as though I’d found something that was missing up until that point. His hand roved around my body as if he’d mapped it out before and committed every curve and dip to memory. And his words. The filthy words that exposed me for the many ways I’d envision what he’d do to me.

I wanted to tell him how I hadn’t just fantasized about what he’d mentioned but everything else . How turned on I was imagining pushing him to the brink. I wanted him obsessed in a way that meant I consumed his every thought.

It was dirty.

Depraved.

Taboo.

But I didn’t care. I wanted to break free from the shell I locked myself in and do and feel things only he could invoke in me. But now…well, things are complicated. Our parent’s arrival has altered things a bit. It’s a stark reminder that at the end of the day, he and I are still technically related, and nothing should or can happen. Especially with them here.

Still, my body doesn’t care about the logic behind the situation. It thrums, the nerves aching to follow behind Elliot. I’m so conflicted that I don’t hear my mother until she nudges my shoulder and clears her throat.

I blink twice. “Sorry. What did you say, Mom?”

My mother sets down the rag she was using to dry the plates. She takes a step near me and lifts a soft hand, cupping my cheek. I instinctively lean into it, a small smile pulling at my lips. “I was saying that I’m sorry I wasn’t always there while you were growing up.”

My smile falters. “You were there plenty, Mom.”

“Debatable, but Todd really helped there in the last stretch. So I was saying, even after the papers are signed next week, I hope you and him continue to speak every now and then.”

My eyes flicker behind her to the stairs where Elliot disappeared. I’ve seen him trail up them a million times over, a small longing always playing at the edge of my thoughts as I watched him go. But tonight, it’s different. My heart squeezes, confliction tearing at my chest. I shouldn’t want him. I really shouldn’t.

“Of course, Mom.”

Todd waves over his shoulder. “Of course, she’ll talk to me, Mary.
