Bab 59: Affair

Arik: Why do you always leave whenever something happens between us? Is this how you'll treat me? Like a one-night stand, Celeste?

Arik: And didn't you like it?

It's as if a volcano is about to erupt in my head as I read Arik's text while I'm busy signing new client contracts. I feel the heat spreading from my face down to my body at that moment.

Especially when I remember what happened between us last night.

The way Arik held and touched me last night is igniting a fire within me, spreading like a wildfire that suddenly ignites and quickly engulfs everything. He was like a hungry beast during those moments. Eager, yet careful in touching me, as if I were a delicate object he didn't want to break.

It's like I suddenly forgot all the time I've missed him. But it also intensified my longing to be with him again.

It's like I'm having an affair with the father of my child, damn it. Is this even allowed?
