Twas waiting for you. Good thing you’re back early” Nosh plucked the bag out of my hand and threw it on the couch. He looked way too vrdumsiastic about my return, the kind of excitement he usually showed when he was horny.
“Where is Gia“” I ask looking around.
“I put her to sleep”
My forehead creased. You put her to sleep? Where’s Avery?”
“She left” My head whipped towards him in an instant,
“She left?” She wouldn‘). Not just like that. Especially when I asked her to look after Gia. Unless “Did you say something to her?”
“No, I didn’t.” The reply was rather fast. Before 1 could further voice my doubts, his hands circled my neck, resting on my shoulder. “Can we not talk about this right now!”
I missed you.” He murmured before trailing kisses along the length of my neck. “So much.”
Sex was the last thing on my mind right then. I had so many things crowding that space at the moment
“I should make us something to eat.” 1 had taken all but two steps towards the kitchen when his hand came around my wrist.
“I’m not hungry for food.” He pulled me back into him and kissed me. I forced my body to relax and give in. Maybe I could push away every thought temporarily, maybe this was a chance to renew the spark that was lost between us. My hands weaved through his hair. Maybe there was hope after all. With that thought. I kissed him back.
But the second my eyes closed, I knew that’s just what they were. Mere assumptions. I saw his face. Warm brown eyes, razored jawlines. Fuck!
My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach. Why was I thinking about another man while kissing my boyfriend. I wonder how that said man managed to ruin it for me.
realized I was searching for something that wasn’t there between me and Noah in the first place. The crackding tension, the insatiable urge to be close, the raw passion. 1 had been blissfully oblivious to all that until now. Something had changed.
“You look so sexy, babe” He pulled down the strap of my dress and pressed open mouthed kiss on my collar bone. I brought my hands down on his biceps in a firm resisting hold
“Noah, not today, I don’t feel like it.”
He didn’t stop. “That’s okay, I will loosen you up.”
I waited for a few more seconds before deciding. No matter what, I couldn’t bring myself to enjoy this, not with the chaos in my mind. I firmly shoved at his chest, not in a way it would hurt him but enough to stop him.
“I’m not in the mood
He stared at me, his face a mix of confusion and incredulity. Finally he snapped. “What the fuck happened to your mood?”
I blinked at his harsh tone. “Why are you talking like that?”
“Like what? A frustrated mant Because I am. I came back early, waited for you. I even put your daughter to sleep. And what do I get? Nothing. You’re just not in the mood.”
He threw his hand in the air like he had every right to throw the tantrum because he didn’t get his return. He really did just say disbelief.

“It’s all about sex to you.”
The incredulity bleed through my words. Noah’s head jerked back like I had offended him with my sentence.
“No, it’s not
“No! Then how will you explain your frustration! You are expecting sex because you put my daughter to sleep! That transaction.” Like he was talking to a prostitute and not his girlfriend.

“Yeah, that’s convenient. Paint me the bad guy for wanting sex” He shouted, entirely nonchalant to a child sleeping behind the doors who was not of the age to be introduced to such vocabulary,

How does this work?” Throughout my ram, I had kept my voice low but made sure he realized the problem. His expectations needed some boundaries.
“No, this is what it is You’re being petty”
ight as well have hanged my head against the wall the outcome would have been the same. I wondered if he had been this unreasonable when we started dating
Derp breaths. In Out In Out
“Good night, Noah
1 picked my parse from the couch and headed straight towards Gia’s room. She was asleep, curled up under the covers. A look at her peaceful smiling face immediately brought me some level of comfort.
The phone in my pocket vibrated with a message.
Rey: HOLY SHIT! That was hot!
Freya: Which

I had felt it too. Aiden’s eyes on me. I had done my best to appear unaffected by the heat of his gaze. It had been fruitless. I had been left feeling tingly. I was half part excited and half part confused. Such a reaction to the presence of a man I had had sex many years ago was alarming You mean the best sex you ever had in your life? My subconscious taunted me.
Rey Are you not replying because you’re busy visualizing his dick!
Not exactly but close. I felt a wave of mortification wash over me. No matter how good the sex may have been, I couldn’t think about another man while I was in a relationship.
Rey: I don’t blame you if you are. I mean he is gorgeous.
Freya: I have a boyfriend

Rey: Don’t keep on reminding me that I failed as a wingman. That

She had been quite expressive about her dislike for Noah since the beginning. At first I didn’t see it. Now a part of me did see how strained our relationship was. But I hated giving up on relationships. I always felt that it was the easy way out.
I typed a quick “good night to Rey and put the phone on the nightstand. I could do the rest of the thinking the next day. Besides, I had a major task
at hand.
