Casey could not get it up. Understandable. It was Klaire after all. He was honestly relieved, to be honest. But when it came to Klaire, it seemed to be the end of the world and he could see that she was probably on the verge of tears. The thing that was most pleasing about the situation was that Klaire seemed to think that it was her fault and not his. It was great that she didn’t try to push it on him because it definitely was her and would admit that, but he didn’t want to deal with becoming a widower only a couple of days after his marriage. Although that title didn't sound too bad. Klaire sat on the edge of the bed, with her back facing him as if she was feeling shameful and it was honestly sad. A lot of people assume that men leave the women they are seeing because they are not able to pleasure them sexually, and while that may be true in some cases, it is mostly because of the simple loss in interest that carried over into a loss of interest with that person.

When Casey grabbed her hand, Ava’s heart skipped a beat. She cursed silently, wishing that her body would not react like that. If only she could give into his words and take him seriously. If only she could ignore all the red flags and go for it. But it was just too much. She was betraying everything she knew. She would be an adulterer if she proceeded to do anything else with Casey. Which is why she wanted their night together to remain in the past. To remain a memory. A memory she wished she could get rid of.“Mr. Miller, what we did is wrong. Whether or not I felt something. Whether or not you feel something. It is wrong. If I could change the past then I would. We cannot continue down the path, it will harm many people. You and I included.” Ava pulled her hand away.“But… if I break up with Klaire. If I leave her-”“If you leave Klaire then good for you. You are doing what the

Casey was kicked out as soon as Ava finished hugging him. There were a million things running through his mind as he tried to figure out what it all meant. Did she want to move on, was that hug a goodbye hug? Was it her telling him to wait? Was it a yes to him wanting to be with her? Was she reciprocating his feelings?None of those questions were answered and he was simply kicked out of her apartment. There weren’t any looks that she gave him that suggested anything positive, or negative, it was just neutral. Ava was neutral and he didn’t know what that meant.He walked down to his car with a feeling in his chest that was a mix of disappointment and agitation. Casey didn’t know why he expected to get a positive answer from her. He was asking her to betray all she knew just so that he could feel good. But she felt good too, he knew, she said so. It wasn’t just about the sex, it was about the feelings. The way she lo

Ava decided to enter into a relationship with a married man. How great was that?Even though she always preached to her friends that she was fine and that she didn’t need anyone. She was lonely. And it really bothered her. Ava was too afraid for a repeat of her past relationships that she ignored the pain she was feeling inside. Ava had not expected that things would turn out like this and that she would willingly be with Casey, but it was hard not to accept such a tempting offer. He was there, and she was sad, and things happened.That’s not to say that Ava didn’t like Casey. She had feelings for him and that was why she accepted his own feelings for her. There was still some doubt on her end, on if Casey really liked her or if he was just using her as some kind of escape. But then she had to consider how quickly she developed feelings for him. So it is not impossible for him to develop feelings for her in that time as w

“We should go on a date,” Ava, who was nose deep in a book, turned to Casey. They were in her apartment. After his therapy session with Klaire, he had gone home feeling more drained than usual and so he came to Ava’s apartment. Of course, she wasn’t the happiest that he showed up unannounced, but still let him in. They had not said much to each other, Ava was busy reading and Casey was looking at the way her house was laid out. It was like he wasn’t even there and so Casey had to get her attention somehow. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Ava closed down her book. Casey shifted closer to her, brushing his hands in her hair. “Yeah, well, it’s night and I think we both have had practice in dodging the paparazzi. I won’t be so bad.” “Where will we go?” “Hmm,” There were many places he could think of, but all of those were public and not the best for their situation.
