Secrets of Us A Forbidden Love Romance (Alina)

Chapter 183

I Panicked

I sit on Jake's lap, his hands resting firmly on my waist as we scroll through mattress options on his laptop.

His breath fans the base of my neck every time he says something, and I like the feeling of him being so close to me. His fingers caress my skin, comforting me and turning me on

all at the same time.

I turn to him as I point to a mattress, taking in the way the light from the screen highlights the edges of his jaw. He narrows his eyes to look at it.

We're in his home office, sitting behind his desk while Zaid and Aiden lounge on the set of couches in front of us. We decided to get a new bed together, one big enough for the

four of us.

Aiden exhales dramatically. "Just make sure it's long enough for me." He's the tallest and always complains about how his feet hang off the edge of the bed.

I laugh, leaning back into Jake's chest, tilting my head up so I can see his face. He chuckles against my skin, then presses slow, lingering kisses down the curve of my neck.

A shiver runs through me, warmth blooming deep in my stomach.

Jake hasn't touched me like this for weeks, and neither has Aiden. I'm practically starving

for their affection now that the intensity of what I was feeling went down.

"And make sure it's not too soft," Zaid adds from the couch.

I laugh again, tilting my head to look at him. "We'll make sure it fits everyone."

Jake hums against my skin before I lean forward to tap through the options. Jake's hands

slide down my waist until he's gripping my thighs, right at the base of my ass.

I shudder but ignore him, wanting to order this before we get distracted. I shift, sliding

my fingers over the trackpad, scrolling through different styles and sizes.

I pause on one.
