Zoey Jones falls head over heels in love with a man she met in a grocery store, someone who quickly became a close friend to her. Aaron fell deeply in love with a woman he approached in a grocery store, whom he just had to get to know. Little did he know she'd end up becoming the centre of his life. Little did they both know that their friendship would erupt after one hot steamy night. One night neither regret but Aaron would regret the morning after. Left alone in a bed too ashamed to tell the tale of being left after a night of passion, what happens to the pair when Aaron is reintroduced into Zoey's life but this time as... her best friends partner. - "We shouldn't be doing this," I breathed out, his face a mere centimetre away from mine, "April could walk in at any moment." I rasp turning my face from his. I didn't want him to move, I needed to feel his lips on mine once more. It had been far too long since I had felt them. "I know," His breath fans my neck, "But I don't care," he lifts my head slowly our noses touching, "I've stayed away from you for far too long. I need you, Zoe." As if setting a light his touch ignited my core and I almost let out a moan as he grabs me. Holding me in place as his lips connect with mine and the fire in my pit returns. I do nothing to stop the guilt that tries to pull at me for betraying my best friend, instead I reach my hands up and tug at his curls. Oh how I've missed them. *warning: quite a bit of sexy time in this one.* Copyright © Mbalii 2020
