He hadn't thought much of just holding Zoe Pierce before, but now, after sleeping with her just once, his entire body felt so comfortable.
Once he was sure Zoe Pierce was no longer uncomfortable, he stopped rubbing her leg.
Aaron Xavier glanced at the darkening sky but ultimately decided not to say anything just yet.
Instead, he and Zoe Pierce ate a leisurely dinner and watched some random shows until, at last, it was time for bed.
As the clock ticked closer to midnight, Zoe Pierce knew she couldn't escape what was coming.
As the hour grew later, Aaron Xavier's gaze became more and more brazen.
He said nothing, just stared at her intently with a knowing smile.
'If I can't escape it, I may as well face it willingly.'
Zoe Pierce finally stood up and set her book aside.
Aaron Xavier, a few steps behind her, heard her say, "I'm going to shower first."
Both of them knew full well what was about to happen.
Even Zoe's walk betrayed an urge to escape.
