Chapter Sixteen

Just a few hours later, after their intercourse marathon, they settled down to observe a rom-com whereas devouring popcorn. However Luna quickly determined it was much less comedy and extra angst, with the connection of the couple on display screen based mostly solely on lies.

Not not like her relationship with Aiden, if it may very well be known as a relationship.

Aiden turned to her because the closing credit rolled and requested, “How does consuming in sound? I’ll order from the Backyard Café.”

She nodded, handing him the popcorn rejects on the backside of the bowl. “Sure, please. I don’t really feel like going out.”

She settled on rooster pesto pasta, whereas Aiden ordered a seafood platter and a bowl of Greek salad to share. They set the desk with plates and cutlery, some glasses, a jug of juice and a bottle of chilled wine.

However the second their dinner arrived, she all of the sudden didn’t care to eat. The film had left her abdomen tied in knots, reminding her of her personal relationship failure. Her want to lash out and make Aiden really feel similar to she had when he’d left her fought towards a necessity to easily take pleasure in being with him one final day.

They have been seated on the desk, with Aiden devouring his seafood platter throughout from her on the eating desk, when he requested, “Are you okay?”

She nodded. “I’m tremendous, I’m simply…not all that hungry.”

He cocked a darkish forehead. “Usually in spite of everything our exercise you’re famished.”

She smiled. He was proper. She by no means felt hungrier than she did after intercourse. She dug her fork into the pasta, twirled the prongs round and round, then sucked within the creamy pasta goodness. “It’s somewhat scrumptious.”

“Then you definately have to be hungry, in spite of everything.” He winked. “Eat up. We’ll burn our energy off later.”

She didn’t have the power to inform him this may be one in all their final evening’s collectively earlier than she left him for good. Not even to see his face twist with ache. Regardless of how a lot she advised herself he deserved a dose of his personal drugs, she wasn’t that kind of individual. That she’d failed in her goal to harm him solely made her resent him extra.

However no less than she had her mother and father again, even when they did nonetheless love the person who sat reverse her. Her mother and pa had at all times thought she and Aiden have been meant to be, a pair who had at all times gravitated collectively like opposing forces.

Maybe they have been proper. Nevertheless it didn’t imply she needed to undergo him. Due to Aiden, she’d been by hell and again. Regardless of how a lot she loved his firm and loved having intercourse with him, he didn’t deserve her forgiveness. He didn’t deserve something however retribution.

So what’s stopping you? Your conscience? You’ve lived for this second, don’t go away him a second time with regrets. Inform him now how you’re feeling. Then stroll away and by no means look again. Identical to he did to you.

She exhaled slowly. Quite a bit might occur in twenty-four hours. He may very well be teetering proper now on the sting of falling in love along with her.

Yet another minute. Yet another kiss. Yet another phrase spoken between them is likely to be all it’d take to make him fall for her. Like she’d fallen for him all these years in the past.

That she’d by no means absolutely recovered was one thing that was laborious to confess, even in spite of everything this time.

Was that but another excuse she’d averted her mother and father? As a result of they’d hoped towards hope she and Aiden would nonetheless reconcile? Telling them that he’d dumped her had been nearly as laborious to inform them because it’d been for her to listen to it from Aiden.

“You actually aren’t hungry,” he mused softly.

She nodded. “No. I assume I’m…overthinking issues.”

He put his fork down, his focus all on her. “Do you wish to speak about it?”

She shook her head. “No. I doubt phrases will distract me.”

He leaned again in his chair, his personal meals now seemingly forgotten. “If it’s a distraction you need, I consider I’ve the proper resolution.”

She stood. It was time to take again management. “Truly, I consider I’ve the proper resolution.”

She clasped the hem of her gown and pulled it up and over her head, then tossed it over the chair. That she had on her favourite lacy crimson bra and thong mightn’t have been premeditated, however maybe deep down she’d recognized she wanted to seduce Aiden one final time, give him that shove over the precipice he wanted?
