Secrets of Us A Forbidden Love Romance (Alina)

Chapter 191

What, Indeed

I smile to myself, stirring the pot of spaghetti I have on the stove while I sway to the music that's playing in my head.

I should be paying attention to the lecture playing off of my laptop, but I couldn't care less about all of that at the moment. The kitchen is warm, the windows open to the sun outside and I'm barefoot, wearing a short summer dress.

I lean over the pot and inhale the scent of simmering tomatoes and garlic. It smells so good, and I am starving.

The music leaves my head and I start humming, still half-listening to my online class, the professor's voice blending into the background of my little bubble of happiness.

The days have been good and even better than I ever imagined. Being with them, really being with them, feels like the most natural thing in the world. I've found a rhythm with each of them, finding time to be alone and yet also enjoying my time with the four of us together.

I surprise myself every day. I've been able to keep up. I crave them just as much as they crave me. It's intoxicating, consuming, and yet it feels so right. They feel like a part of me now, and I can't get enough.

They try not to act surprised when I'm the one to initiate, even after already fucking for a few hours. I hope I never grow tired of this.

The sound of footsteps makes me glance up, just as Zaid walks into the kitchen. His dark hair is a mess, his skin still flushed from sleep, and he's shirtless, his sweatpants hanging low on his hips.

My heart does a little flip at the sight of him. "Did you just wake up?"

He frowns, shaking his head. "No, I mean, yeah, but I took a nap. I was up way earlier."

I smile, not believing him because I've been up since five. "Really?"

His eyes hood over as he makes his way toward me, gripping my chin to make me look at him. "Yes, your moans woke me up."

My cheeks flush, the soreness between my legs flaring to life. Aiden had woken me up with kisses on my neck and then sunk into me, slowly and quietly thrusting into me before leaving for school.

"Sorry," I whisper. "I didn't realize we had woken you up."

"It doesn't bother me," he murmurs, his voice thick with sleep as he steps behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist.

I lean into his warmth, careful to keep some distance from the stove. He smiles against my neck, pressing a slow, lingering kiss to my skin.
