VICTORIA’S EYELIDS were so heavy, she could barely open them. The room was chilly, and she hugged the soft cotton blanket more tightly around her. Squeezing her thighs together, a tremble ran through her body. She could still feel the tingles of her night with Gabe, and she smiled at the lingering feelings.

Victoria thought that perhaps her first time felt special simply because it was the first. And every time after that had felt bitter because nothing could ever be quite as sweet as that first taste. She’d spent quite a while convincing herself of that.

Then, she’d decided relationships and romance simply weren’t for her, and that was that.

Finally, she convinced herself that her youthfully naive mind, the same mind that tricked her into thinking she and Gabe loved each other, was responsible for the feelings of pleasure she experienced with him. Convince the mind of something, and it’ll convince the body. By that theory, it was a simple placebo effect—she wanted it to be magical, and so it was.

This time, she had wanted the opposite to be true, and she truly thought that it would be.

Victoria was wrong on all accounts.

Her night with Gabe was incredible, the pleasure she felt incomparable to anything else, including their first night together. She wasn’t emotionally invested, she was hoping it would be boring as it was with every other lover she’d taken. She at least didn’t want it to surpass that first time.

Every theory she’d had was wrong, which gave truth to her worst nightmare… there was something special about Gabe. There was something he did for her mind and body that nobody else ever had, ever could.

A chill ran down Victoria’s spine, and she reached her hand out for Gabe, only to find cold sheets. Her eyes shot open to see the other half of her bed empty. She was alone.

He’d left… again.

Why did that surprise her? It shouldn’t have. He left the first time. This time, they’d both agreed no strings attached, so why on Earth would he stay? Still, her stomach felt a little wishy-washy.

Sitting up and placing her head in her hands, Victoria let out a sigh and squeezed her eyes shut tightly.

During the night, he’d asked her to say she was his. She didn’t. But damn him, she had wanted to. God, it was tempting. It was so damn tempting to want more, to let the physical pleasure convince her that those emotional ties from all those years ago still existed between them.

Except they had never existed between them. The love between Gabe and Victoria was one sided. Hell, it wasn’t even love. It was some weird infatuation, a little girl’s crush that was allowed to spiral into her adulthood. Young and stupid, that’s what she was.

How dare her younger self still hold onto hope.

The floor creaked and Victoria’s eyes opened to see Gabe standing there, wearing only his jeans, which hung low on his hips as he stared at her.

“What are you doing up?” he asked softly.
