Chapter Twenty-Eight

Maya’s POV

The sunlight was soft when it touched my face, but my body felt anything but calm.

I rolled onto my back, staring up at the ceiling, the quiet of the room almost unbearable. I hated mornings like this. When the dreams lingered too closely to reality. When I woke with my body aching as if someone had set a match to my skin.

And of course, it was him.

Alvarez.

I could still feel him in the dream. His hands are gripping me. His mouth hovered just close enough to undo me. His eyes, dark and demanding, were swallowing me whole.

I pressed my thighs together under the blanket, my chest rising and falling too quickly. I shouldn’t think of him like this. Not after everything. Not after what he had done. But the harder I tried to push him away, the sharper the images returned.

His voice told me I was his.

The weight of his body is pinning mine.

The cruel way he made me want him even when I hated him.

A soft whimper slipped from my lips before I could stop it. My

  • You Left, I Could Have Fixed Us   The Morning After

    Chapter Thirty Two Maya’s POV The night felt endless, each second stretching and folding into the next until exhaustion finally dragged me under. Ethan’s warmth lingered against me, a steady weight that kept my restless thoughts from tearing me apart. When I opened my eyes, morning light had already spilt across the room. It painted the walls in pale gold, soft enough to make me believe for a fleeting moment that everything outside these four walls didn’t exist. I shifted, careful not to wake him, and found myself studying him instead. Ethan was still asleep, his face relaxed, his lips parted slightly as he breathed. The sight made my chest ache in ways I wasn’t prepared for. He looked so unguarded, so human. Nothing like the watchful protector he tried to be when his eyes were open. I swallowed hard, torn between guilt and a quiet, dangerous longing. My hand twitched against the sheets, the urge to reach out and touch him almost unbearable. To trace the curve of his jaw.

  • You Left, I Could Have Fixed Us   A Fragile Shelter

    Chapter Thirty One Maya’s POV The room was still, yet I could not quiet the storm inside me. Ethan’s voice echoed in my head, low and steady, as if he had carved himself into the walls of my thoughts. You’re not alone, Maya. Those words should have comforted me. Instead, they left a bruise across my chest, tender and pulsing, because for the first time in so long I wanted to believe them. I wanted to fall into the safety of them, let them wrap around me like a blanket. But safety had always been an illusion in my world. I sat on the edge of my bed, my legs pulled up, my arms wrapped around myself. The glow from the streetlights slipped through the curtains, pale strips of light painting the floor. I could almost see Ethan’s outline in the shadows if I stared long enough. His tall frame. The quiet strength in the way he stood. The steady calm he carried that I pretended I didn’t crave. I pressed my forehead against my knees and groaned. “Why him?” I whispered into the fabric of

  • You Left, I Could Have Fixed Us   The Ghost in My Bed

    Chapter ThirtyMaya’s POVI couldn’t sleep.My body still ached from the way I had touched myself, from the images of Alvarez that had twisted and poisoned my mind.Guilt crawled under my skin, hot and unbearable, but the hunger had been stronger. I hated myself for giving in, for lying in my bed with trembling fingers, whispering his name as if I still belonged to him.The room smelled faintly of sweat and shame.My sheets clung to me, tangled and damp, sticking to the curve of my thighs. I turned on my side, then on my back, restless, my chest rising too fast as if I had run a race I could never win.I pressed my palms against my face.Why do I always fall apart when it comes to him?The clock on my nightstand glowed past three.The silence around me was loud, the kind of silence that made your thoughts turn cruel.I could still feel the ghost of Alvarez’s hands, though he was nowhere near. It was wrong, it was sick, and yet my body betrayed me again and again.Tears stung my eyes.

  • You Left, I Could Have Fixed Us   Between Us

    Chapter Twenty Nine Maya’s POV I couldn’t breathe. The hallway felt too narrow, the walls pressing in on me, the silence heavier than anything I could carry. Alvarez stood there, his body blocking my path, his eyes locked on mine like he could see straight through me. My lips parted, but no words came. My heart pounded so hard I was sure he could hear it. He stepped closer, close enough that I felt the heat from his chest brush against me. “You think you can keep walking past me like I’m not here?” His voice was low, rough, and it scraped against my nerves. I swallowed hard, trying to steady myself. “I wasn’t avoiding you,” I whispered, though even I could hear the lie in my voice. “Liar.” The word cut through me. My hands curled into fists at my sides, but my body betrayed me. Heat rose inside me, shameful and undeniable. His gaze dipped briefly to my lips, then returned to my eyes, sharper than a blade. “You run from me in the daylight,” he said softly, “but tell me… do

  • You Left, I Could Have Fixed Us   In the Grip of Desire

    Chapter Twenty SevenAlvarez’s POV The night was heavy. Alvarez lay in his bed, staring at the ceiling. He hadn’t really slept in days. Every time he closed his eyes, she was there. Maya. Her face. Her voice. Her body. He tried to will her away, but his mind betrayed him. His body betrayed him. And tonight, it was worse. The dream came like fire, sudden and merciless. Maya walked into the room, dressed in nothing but a slip of silk that clung to her hips. Her eyes were not soft. They were cruel. Mocking. “You thought you owned me,” she whispered, her lips brushing his ear. Her hand slid down his chest, slow, taunting. “But you never did.” Alvarez’s breath caught. He wanted to push her away. He tried to seize her and never let her go. Both instincts warred inside him, tearing him open. “You begged me,” she said, her voice sharper now. “You begged me to stay. And still, I left. Do you know why?” Alvarez’s hands clenched into fists against the sheets. Maya leaned closer, her
