As I wake, hazy and still peaceful from my sleeping pill induced sleep, I slowly become aware of the heavy weight that’s laying across my waist. Trying my hardest not to freak out, I concentrate on breathing deeply and keeping my heart from racing. I drag in a deep breath and bring with it a lungful of Mik’s scent. It calms me as much as I can be lately and I relax back into his embrace.

Closing my eyes again, I try to imagine the outline of his bare chest as it’s pressed against my back. The defined muscles, the hard ridges, and smooth skin that covers them. I draw in another breath, luxuriating in his smell once again, and letting it strengthen me enough that I can lace my fingers between his and pull his arm tighter around him as if it’s the most natural thing in the world.

It should be. Just me and him. Nothing separating us. Bare skin pressed against bare skin; instead of the material of my oversize T-shirt, and the scars that cover my body and mess with my head, creating a barrier between us. If I was normal. If I hadn’t ruined my life—and his.

“Lainey?” Mik whispers my name against the back of my head. “You awake?”

Opening my eyes, I force myself to swallow to rid myself of my suddenly dry mouth. Then I send a quick prayer to god and put my traitorous body further to the test this morning. Turning in Mik’s arms, I press my chest against his and lift my face to his. It takes him a moment to catch on to what I’m looking for, but when he does the surprise that lights up his eyes is amusing.

Without wasting a second, Mik lowers his lips to mine and kisses me. We’ve pressed our lips against each other’s a few times since I was released from the hospital. Purely platonic lip locks that have tested my fractured psyche right along with Mik’s patience. This one is different. I’ve initiated it; I’m the one who parts her lips and prods the seam of his lips with my tongue; I’m the one who winds her fingers into his hair and pulls his body over mine.

It’s mind-blowing. Revisiting the connection that we created on that one night we were able to spend together before I made a decision that turned everything in my—our—life on its head. The feeling of his soft lips against mine. The weight of his body as it presses mine into the mattress. The silky feel of the skin that covers the powerful muscles in his shoulders as I dig my fingernails into them. It’s exhilarating. I feel normal. Like Mik’s Lainey once again.

Until, it goes too far. Mik’s hips push between my legs. His hard bulge presses against my cotton-covered core. And, it all comes rushing back. The pain. The humiliation. My ruin. One minute, it’s Mik above me, and my heart is pounding in my chest from the desire he makes pump through my veins.
