When Love Breaks by Jack

The words were too blunt, too direct.

Even through the haze of alcohol, I couldn’t help but blush furiously, burying my face in his shoulder and muttering, “I’ll listen to you.”

“Listen to me?” Gregory’s question, whispered against my earlobe in a husky voice, sent shivers down my spine. “Then I want both.” Before I could process his words, I found myself pinned beneath him on the couch.

The room’s atmosphere thickened, breaths coming short and fast as his tender kisses began their descent.

Soon, my voice melted into a whisper, “Gregory…”

When he looked up, his eyes were laden with desire, leaving no room for retreat. He whispered my name like a prayer, “Jane… Jane…”

A moment of pain brought a brief clarity, swiftly drowned by an overwhelming wave of pleasure.
