MATT
Itie up the condom and toss it in the bin. I grip the edge of the sink and stare at myself in the mirror.
What the fuck just happened?
I think my world has been blown apart by a woman, and I have no idea what to do now. Should I pretend Iâm unmoved? Pretend this was just sex? Pretend she was nothing but a good fuck?
My heart feels raw, like that orgasm stripped layers off it. I can feel the beat of it everywhere; the rush of blood in my ears is deafening. It never felt like this with Gemma.
âMr Hawkston?â Her voice is soft and thereâs a hint of sadness to it. Even after what just happened, sheâs not using my name. âWas this a mistake?â
My body heats uncomfortably at the question. I look up and see her in the mirror. Sheâs standing naked in the bathroom doorway.
âDoes it feel that way to you?â
Her brows draw together. âNot at first. It felt right. So right. The most right thing in the world. And thenâ¦â
I turn to face her, leaning back against the sink. âThen what?â
âThen it scared me, feeling that way. Being so open to you. I shut down the connection. I didnât mean to. And then you noticed, and it felt like you thought it was all a mistake. All of it happened in the blink of an eye, and then you walked in here like you were trying to escape.â
I blow out a breath. She saw everything. In seconds, she had me all figured out. This is intense. And also ridiculous, the way weâre both naked, discussing what ought to have been nothing more than a quick and satisfying fuck. And Aries is only making it worse with her talk about connection and openness and all that bullshit. Only itâs not bullshit, because I know exactly what she means...
I did this. I fucked this up, and I donât know how to unfuck it.
Moments ago, our bodies were so in tune, so perfect together, and now thereâs an insurmountable gulf between us.
âIs this a one-time thing?â she asks, her voice full of pain. âShould I leave?â
I rub the heels of my palms against my eyes and let out a frustrated groan. âNo. Iâm sorry. Itâs just⦠I wasnât expecting it to be the way it was either. I wasnâtââ
âI know. I get it.â
âYou do?â
A tentative smile pulls at her lips. âI was there too, remember?â
I laugh, but without opening my mouth to release the sound. âShit.â
She takes a step towards me, cautious at first, but then with more confidence. âThereâs one thing I really do need to know,â she says, looking at me seriously. âAm I going to get more time with that huge dick of yours? Because if not, youâre going to have to clone it for me.â
I laugh aloud now, unsure what the hell she means, but grateful that sheâs making light of whatever just happened. âHuh?â
âMake a model. Turn it into a dildo. So I can fuck myself with it every day.
