Secrets of Us A Forbidden Love Romance (Alina)

Chapter 85

Not Complicated

My clit it literally pulsing against the fabric of my thong.

"Asshole," I mumble to myself as I walk down the hallway, no orgasm, no relief.

"He teased you, didn't he?"

I stop mid-step, looking up to find Aiden leaning against the wall with a smirk on his face and his eyebrows lifted like this is a joke.

I don't know how to answer that. Is talking about sexual experiences with different

partners a normal thing? I shrug instead.

'Aiden presses his lips together and makes his way toward me, cupping my cheeks in his

hands. "It's all over your face. You're frustrated."

My heart is hammering in my chest, my insides aching for relief. But I shake my head. "No, I'm fine."

Yeah, right. I'm not fine. I'm hot, furious. I hate how much Zaid gets under my skin. He's

punishing me, even though I don't think I did anything wrong.

I had to talk to Aiden first. He's been my boyfriend.

Well, okay, maybe deciding on a relationship with his brother before even talking to him wasn't my smartest move. Especially because it was Aiden who told him and not me.

I sigh as I walk away to the living room and flop on the couch. Aiden chuckles as he follows me and he leans over, kissing me softly. "I have to get to practice."

I frown. "Practice? While on break?"

He nods, running his hand through his hair. "If the team wants to stay on top of this, we

have to stay in shape."

"Fine," I kiss him softly before watching him walk away.

Now it's just me and this empty house. I don't move from the couch and I try scrolling on

my phone, but my mind keeps circling back to Zaid.
