Secrets of Us A Forbidden Love Romance (Alina)

Chapter 86

A Date

The cool air brushes against my face as I step outside, but it does little to cool the heat

simmering beneath my skin.

My skin feels flushes, restless and unsteady. I'm burning from the inside out. Jake's comforting kiss still lingers on my lips and my pussy is alight with the thought of Zaid's head between my legs.

Fuck, what is wrong with me?

It's all I can think of, all I can focus on. I'm losing my freaking mind.

I walk quickly, my shoes crunching against the pavement. It's not particularly cold out, but my pace is fueled by the need for space, for air, for anything that might help me regain control of everything swirling inside me.

That house is all Matthews. How can I expect myself to stay under control?

The sound of heavy footsteps sound behind me, and I close my eyes briefly, groaning inwardly. The tension in my shoulders tightens when I hear his voice.

"Alina."

Of course.

I keep walking, biting the inside of my cheek, but Zaid doesn't slow down. Within

seconds, he's at my side, his hand resting on my waist like it belongs there, fingers digging into my skin.

My breath hitches, and I hate the way my body reacts to the simple touch. With the next few steps, I let my body lean into his.

He chuckles low and rough; the sound sending a shiver down my spine. He walks at my pace and lowers his lips to my ear, his breath caressing my lobe. "You look tense."

I shove at him with my elbow.

He inhales. "Not enough time to satisfy yourself?"
