Evelyn stretched and tried not to smile when she felt the warm body next to hers.
It had been inevitable. She should have realised that the first day she had come to the door to collect her car. Her love for Roman had refused to be hidden any longer the moment he had opened the door.
It was her feelings of guilt and shame she had to battle with. She had put herself right back into the situation she had tried so hard to put behind her as if despite everything just because she couldn’t resist him.
“Good morning, Evelyn.”
His warm breath tickled her ear as Roman pulled her closer against him. And she decided at that moment to leave her shame and guilt for another time. She had craved his touch for far too long, craved to feel him next to her in her bed, to hear that voice say her name. She would go through all of it again the moment Roman returned to his real life but for now... Surely she could pretend?
Her head told her she was being stupid again but she ignored it.
