"No! I said it's dangerous. You could get hurt." His tone was final, and I could see he wouldn't budge.Just then, his phone rang again. I didn't need to look to know who it was. It's Tiffany of course! "Hello, Tiffany... Yeah, I'm on my way now. I just need to drop Elyssa off first. Stay right there, okay? Shhh, it's alright. Don't cry. I'll be there as fast as I can." The tenderness in his voice, the way he soothed her, sent a wave of hot anger through me."Come on, let's go. I'll take you home now." He guided me toward the door in a rush, his attention already miles away."I'll just take a cab myself." The words burst out of me, sharp and bitter.After all, he was so eager to get to her. Why slow him down?"No way. I'm taking you home. I have to know you're safe. Please don't be stubborn, baby." He sounded almost desperate as he pleaded with me.I opened my mouth to argue, but then he pulled me close, his hand cupping my cheek gently."Please understand. I'll only be gone a little

When the elevator reached the ground floor, the doors flew open and I burst out. I raced toward the building's exit. My feet were flying. I knew he'd be right behind me, and I couldn't bear to face him a second longer.Outside, I spotted a taxi just dropping off a passenger. I darted forward and jumped in without hesitation.As I slammed the door shut, loud knocks rapped against the windshield. Theo was there, his hands gripping the glass as he tried to pull the door open."Elyssa, wait! Please get out so we can talk!" he pleaded, his voice cracking.Through blurry tears, I looked at him and shouted, "There's nothing left for us to talk about!""Sir, please drive now," I begged the driver, my voice breaking.He must have seen the pain on my face. He nodded quietly, started the engine, and pulled away. I watched through the back window as Theo ran after us, his figure growing smaller and smaller until he disappeared into the distance.I told the driver to take me to Lily's address, and

I watched as he froze completely, his face draining of color. Shock washed over him first, then a wave of raw pain that flashed across his eyes the moment my words landed."W-What do you mean?" he stammered, his hands trembling slightly. "B-Baby, I know I messed up. I shouldn't have let things get that close with Tiffany. And what you saw... it didn't mean anything." He leaned forward and took my hand gently, but I pulled it back so fast it made him flinch."I'm done. We're over," I said, my voice firm even as my chest tightened with pain."Please, baby. I made a mistake. I got carried away, I let myself be tempted for just a second. But it was only that one stupid moment."The truth of his admission hit me like a punch to the gut. Hearing him say it out loud that he had cheated, that he'd been swayed by her, sent fresh tears burning down my cheeks."No matter what you say, I've made up my mind. It's over." This time, I couldn't stop the sobs from breaking through."Please don't be ra

Theo's POV: That night, Tiffany's frantic call shattered the quiet intimacy of my date with Elyssa. Her voice, choked with tears and raw fear after an encounter with her ex, immediately pulled at my concern. Without a second thought, I quickly dropped Elyssa off and raced to the bar where Tiffany was.I found her huddled in a corner by the bar counter, tears streaming down her face, while a few women, whom I presumed were offering comfort, surrounded her. Two police officers stood nearby, having responded to the incident.The moment her eyes met mine, she sprang from her seat, rushing into my arms, her sobs echoing against my chest."What happened?" I asked, my voice laced with worry as I noticed the busted corner of her lip and the angry red mark on her right cheek, a cruel testament to a slap."I was just hanging out with my friends, and he suddenly showed up. I tried to get away, but he was so persistent, forcing me to go with him. I refused, so he hurt me." Through her tears, she

And despite every rational part of me screaming to pull back, there was no denying the intense heat of the moment. Her lips were soft against mine, her tongue sliding past my teeth with practiced ease, a slick, demanding rhythm that sent jolts of sensation through my body. I'd been on edge for days now, every nerve frayed by stress and the growing distance between me and Elyssa. Our last few attempts at intimacy had been a few weeks ago; my packed work schedule has left us with barely any time for each other, leaving a hollow ache I'd desperately tried to push aside.That emptiness roared to life under her touch. A wave of raw, scorching lust pulled at me like a riptide, hot and dangerous. For a split, dizzying second, all thought vanished. I found my hand hovering over her waist, my body leaning into hers of its own accord, tempted to match the fever of her kiss, to give in to what felt so recklessly easy and wrong.Tiffany moved with deliberate, practiced grace. Every shift and sway
