Unrequited

I gape at him, shocked.

“I mean it, Alicia.” Dex cradles my cheek in his hand, his dark eyes blazing into mine. “One week. No rules, no limits, just us. I can save you from this unrequited love of yours. And you... You can save me from myself.”

Before I can respond, he pulls me in and claims my mouth with a devastating kiss.

It’s like nothing I’ve ever felt before, hungry and desperate, blazing out of control. His body is hard against me as his lips brand mine with passion, his tongue demanding complete surrender. I fall, deep into the velvet darkness of his embrace, but all the while, I cling to my last thread of reason, the choice whirling in my mind.

What on earth do I do now?
