Chapter 4

When they got back into the apartment, he dropped his things by the wall in his room, then returned to find Natalie and his mom in the kitchen, already opening drawers and debating whether the mugs were too high up. It seemed that Natalie was much more structured than his mom was...

Chapter 5

Natalie leaned against the kitchen island, half-listening as Lisa recounted the woman who came in mortified, asking for help removing a decorative wine stopper she’d mistaken for something sturdier during a moment of... experimentation, and then having to lecture her about the im...

Chapter 6

By the time the food had gone cold and the last sip of wine had disappeared, Lisa stretched and groaned, arms overhead. “Okay, I’m officially done. My back says it’s time to lie down.” Natalie stood and began gathering the plates, stacking the empties without much finesse. “You...

Chapter 11

Aiden stood frozen with his pulse thudding in his ears. He couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe. And whatever shred of doubt he’d still been holding onto was gone. Lisa moved with fluid confidence, having swung her leg over Natalie and reversing her position with practiced ease. She...

Chapter 12

Barely able to reconcile what he was hearing, Aiden was rooted in place. He’d been there for a while now, drawn by sounds that had started as soft, almost ignorable whispers, movement and moans. He hadn’t moved since the last time he heard her cry out. Another gasp followed soun...

Chapter 32

7 a.m.? He asked himself, regretting being up so early after last night. He was glad he didn’t have a class first thing this morning. The grin on Aiden’s face lingered for a second longer until the sound of her door shutting left him alone with the cereal and the only remaining...
