The moment Mikhail left, my thumbs flew across my phone screen, sending off the message of good news.
It worked. We are together.
She replied just as I tapped the send button.
Really?! I smiled as I answered.
Yes. We are together.
Together together? My smile faltered just a little bit.
Well, not together together. More like friends who sleep together.
That was the only thing you could get out of him?
My smile waned completely, my heart pounding as I sent my message.
Why? Is something wrong with that?
You deserve more than to just warm his bed, Selene.
A vice wrapped around my heart, but I knew the conflicted look in his eyes, the agony that festered in his body, and yet he almost refused my offer for us to be each other's relief.
You don't know me or what I deserve, Sylva. Her answer arrived quickly.
