I backed away from her slowly, heart still racing. I couldn't even look her in the eyes. My hand ran through my hair as I tried to process what almost just happened. What did happen. Shit.

"Goodnight" I mumbled, not waiting for a reply as I turned and practically rushed to my room like some coward. My steps were fast, maybe even loud, but I didn't care. I needed to get away before I lost control again. Before I forgot she wasn't mine to touch like that.

Once I was in my room, I slammed the door behind me, leaning my back against it as I tried to breathe properly. What the hell was I thinking? I had gone way too far tonight. I shouldn't have dared her like that, shouldn't have kissed her, touched her, damn it, I shouldn't have let it get to that point. She's my best friend. She has a boyfriend. And yet, all I could think about was the way her lips felt, the way she moaned my name, the way she looked with her-

I groaned and rubbed my face hard. I needed cold water. I needed sleep. I needed a reset because right now, I felt like I was slowly losing my mind over a girl that could never be mine.

I sat there on the couch, stunned. Not exactly sure what just happened, or how to even feel about it. My shirt was still off. My body still buzzing. My thoughts? All over the damn place.

Travis had just walked away. Like that. After everything.

I pulled my shirt back on quickly and sat still, unsure if I was angry, embarrassed, or just... confused. Maybe a mix of all three. My heart was still racing and I couldn't stop replaying it, his lips on mine, his hands on my skin, the way he looked at me like he wanted to devour me.

And maybe the worst part of all?

I liked it.

I actually liked it. A lot.

My cheeks heated up as I glanced down at my chest. I wasn't crazy, my nipples were definitely swollen and pink, all from his mouth. Just thinking about it made me bite my lip.

Ugh, what's wrong with me? Travis is my best friend.

And I have a boyfriend.

But I couldn't stop smiling to myself, even if I knew I shouldn't. I mean... that was probably the most alive I've felt in weeks. The way he touched me, the way he looked at me like I was the only girl in the world, it messed me up.

Still flustered, I got up and went straight to my room. I needed a cold shower, like, badly. I stripped off everything and got under the water, letting it run over me as I tried to calm my thoughts. After drying off and putting on my pajamas, I finally climbed into bed, thinking maybe I could just sleep this off.

That's when my phone rang.

Kyle.

Oh my God.

I stared at the screen, panic rising in my chest. I couldn't answer. I mean, not after what just happened with Travis. I'd literally just cheated on him. With my best friend.

But ignoring him would be suspicious. And I couldn't afford suspicion right now.

So, I picked up.

"Hey babe," his voice came through, warm and sweet. "How was the party?"

I swallowed. "It was... fine. Yeah, just chilled. Danced a bit. Molly and Chris did their usual birthday drama, but nothing crazy."

"Did you miss me?"
