“Aldo, what’s wrong?” Had he taken some kind of drug?
The man in my bed was definitely Aldo Marcello— those chiseled cheekbones and strong jaw, the plumped lips and long black lashes, the scarred, muscled body, could belong to no other. But it wasn’t him.
like “Nothing’s wrong.” He leaned in towards me, maybe he’d kiss me. My heart raced, raced, raced at the proximity of him, raced at the feel of his hard, warm body so close to mine. At the familiarity of it.
Mine. He was mine.
And I wanted nothing more than to close the distance between us-
But this wasn’t him. I placed a palm against his chest to hold him back. Study him, even as my body yearned for his. “You don’t look right.‘
He looked high–eyes glassy and out of focus, skin too hot, breaths shallow, heart racing against the press of my palm as I pushed him back. “Aldo? Did you take something?”
It even looked like the beginnings of a bruise had

started to darken the skin around his left eye.
“No. Nothing’s wrong,” he murmured. His hands slid up my neck to cup my cheeks with the gentlest touch. “I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.”
The words whispered against my cheek, soft and gentle and right–how long had I wanted to hear those words? Needed to hear them?
How long had I craved the familiar press of his body, hardened with muscle, heated with arousal?
And how could I push him away? How could I possibly tell him no, when everything about this was everything I wanted. He was right; we were right.
So I didn’t push him away.
Not when he leaned forward. Closed the distance
between us.
Not when his mouth ghosted across mine. His tongue swept over the seam of my lips, giving me the barest taste of mint and whiskey.
And I couldn’t push him away. Couldn’t tell him no.
He was right; we were exactly where we were supposed to be.
I opened my mouth and welcomed him. His tongue swept into my mouth, dancing across mine in the

softest touch that set my every nerve afire. Familiar and new at the same time.
Him and us.
Right, right, right.
All I’d ever wanted, right here in my grasp. Him and
- us.
The kiss turned from sweet to fiery in an instant. Passionate. Heated. Like we needed to devour each other, taste every inch. Whiskey and mint, him and me. Exactly where we were meant to be.
His fingers tangled in my hair, pulling me closer. Swept down the curve of my back to squeeze my ass in an iron grip. His hips pressed into mine.
Our bodies melted together. Hot and hard, every line of him against every line of me. All I could feel was him. All I knew was him.
Right, right, right.
He rocked forward again, so his hardened cock slid between my legs. So the wide, firm head rubbed against my clit. And when he ground against me, the tantalizing friction against my most sensitive spot sent arousal coursing through me in a heady wave of heat. Pulled a moan from deep inside my chest.
He felt so good, so right, in a way nothing had in

eight long years.
“Aldo.”
“I want you,” he murmured. His lips lined my jaw, towards my ear. His tongue flicked soft flesh beneath my ear. “So fucking bad.”
And I wanted him too. More than I’d ever wanted anyone, now or then. I rocked against him, taking more friction from him. Tangling myself into him. Offering him everything we both so desperately wanted-
No.
This wasn’t real.
Him, here, with me? It wasn’t his choice. Not when he was clearly not himself, not thinking straight. I was taking something that wasn’t being given, that wasn’t mine to have.
