Chapter Eight

Adrian

Adrian felt shaky. He was trying really hard not to let it show.

It wasn’t just shakiness from the best orgasm he could remember ever having, either.

At least physically. Who it was with was causing his shakiness. Shaking the foundations of his whole life. If anyone ever found out, he’d be screwed. His life as he knew it would be over, and he had no idea what he’d do if he lost his job. He was already financially on the edge.

He pushed himself to his knees, righting his clothing. Laurie’s expressions weren’t subtle, and she looked disappointed at the lack of contact as they dressed themselves. She disappeared to use the bathroom and he took a few moments to compose himself.

Sure, he’d just taken a stupid risk. A ridiculously stupid risk. But as far as risks went, it was a pretty sure bet that no one ever would find out. There was no way they could.

What seemed like a bigger risk right now, was isolating Laurie when all he wanted to do was hold her close.

When she returned from the bathroom, he walked over and took her by surprise by slipping his hands behind her back and knees and hoisting her easily to his chest, then carrying her to the bedroom. “I’m finally going to find out how comfy this bed is,” he said.

He could feel her grin as she rested her head on his chest.

In the bed they put on some soft music, and she curled into his side. She lifted his shirt so she could draw patterns on his torso with her fingertips. The movement was so gentle it made goosebumps break out on his arms. It almost tickled.

“So, how much regret have you got so far?” she asked.

He chuckled. “I’m resisting it.”

“It was just once. No one knows.”

“Just don’t start feeling blackmail-y and we’ll be fine,” he agreed.

She laughed. “Thankfully I’m not a psychopath, so we’re all good.”

“Perfect.”

“Yes,” she agreed, kissing his chest. “Definitely perfect.”

He ran his fingers through her hair. They didn’t need to speak. Just listening to the gentle music and feeling their skin on each other’s was the most peaceful thing he’d experienced in years.

As he concentrated on just getting to know her body through soft caresses not even designed to turn her on, just to be close and intimate, he realized he wasn’t even having to force himself not to feel regret. He didn’t regret it, and it was as simple as that.

“I feel so comfortable with you,” she said, snuggling further into his side.

“I feel comfortable with you too. Comfortable and happy. Which is a novelty.”

She laughed. “Tell me about it.”

There were a few beats of silence until she said without looking at him, “I had a nasty break-up. Really nasty. A lot of things were said to me that made me do a lot of thinking, and come to some not great conclusions. About myself, and everything, really.”

“I can’t imagine it’s possible to come to a bad conclusion about you.”

When she chuckled, he thought it sounded a little bit teary.
