More Than A Favor

Chapter 172

I immediately understood what she meant. “Ashton is a decent guy, okay?”

“Does being decent mean he has no emotions or desires? Does it mean he doesn’t want to start a family?” Nora shot back, her questions sharp and direct.

Then, as if to drive the point home, she added, “Logan was also very decent, wasn’t he?”

Her words hit a nerve, and I fell silent.

Sensing my unease, Nora softened her tone. “I’m not saying anything specific about Ashton or Logan. I just mean that in a romantic relationship, dopamine is released, which boosts adrenaline levels and stimulates sexual desire.”

She continued with her usual clinical precision. “Let’s put it this way: A man who truly loves you will have urges and will want to be intimate with you. If he doesn’t, or if he’s able to control himself too easily, it might mean his feelings aren’t as deep as you think.”

Her words made me think back to my relationship with Logan.

Although we had been publicly recognized as an engaged couple for years, the most intimate moments we shared were holding hands or brief hugs.

At the time, I thought it was his way of being respectful–a modern–day gentleman. But deep down, I had questioned whether it was something about me that didn’t stir those feelings in him.

Now, hearing Nora’s analysis, I realized that Logan’s lack of desire could have been a reflection of his lack of deep love for me.
