Our eyes meet, and he coughs, my shock mirrored in his expression. He quickly masks it, but | see it. | see the
absolute horror that crosses his features.
My heart feels like it's lodged in my throat, and it takes every ounce of willpower

my composure.
"Aiden," he says, his voice steady but his eyes betraying his surprise. "Who's this?"

The tension in the room is palpable, a heavy, suffocating weight that neither of us acknowledges out loud. Aiden
seems blissfully unaware, and I'm so glad he hasn't caught up on the heat in the room.
"I was just going to take Alina home, we'll be right back," Aiden says, leading us toward the front door.
Jake hesitates for a fraction of a second before nodding. "Sure, sounds good."
"Ah shit," Aiden freezes midway, patting down his pockets. "I forgot my wallet upstairs, I'll go get it real quick."

up and down. “Aiden? Aiden's the guy you've been hanging out with?"

| whisper back, my voice trembling. "We can't tell Aiden."
"Fucking agreed," he says, his expression serious.
With my hand on my chest, | avoid his gaze. "I have to go."
But Jake doesn't move. He's impenetrable, still, like stone. | look up to him in
shock and a muscle in his eye twitches.
"Jake."
"| can't stop thinking about you.”
| exhale, "Stop."

His hand goes up my stomach and chest and he squeezes my breast, his fingers running over my nipple. | inhale,
brokenly, trying to stay as quiet as possible.
"Alina?!" Aiden calls from the living room and my eyes widen in panic.
Jake shakes his head, covering my mouth his hand, while he removes his hand from my breast and lowers it. My
eyes roll to the back of my head when he reaches the waistband of my panties.
| whimper into his palm, his hand slowly disappearing into them, his fingers finding my clit in a mere second.
"Alina?" The door handle rattles and I stiffen.
