I don’t stop my pace as she unravels beneath me, making me fall over the edge too.

CASSIDY
Hot water cascades over my body, the steam enveloping me as I stand beneath the showerhead.
It does nothing to calm me.
Nor does it push down the bile climbing up my throat over what I just did.
I lied to him.
Well...
Nope. There is no other way to spin this.
I lied.
Maybe not outright, but I withheld the truth. My name. Who I am.
Why I let him fuck me.
I’m an awful person, and I don’t know what to do about it.
Nothing.
You do nothing.
It’s a one-time thing. You slept with a man you will never see again; it doesn’t matter that your past is connected.
Lies. Lies. Lies.
I scrub harder.
It’s a feeble attempt. Nothing I do, no amount of soap, will wash away the remnants of tonight. Nor the memory.
I allow my mind to replay every detail. Every kiss. Every touch.
Each one being wrong but oh-so right.
As the memories replay, my cheeks warm, and my skin tingles.
Why did it have to feel so good?
It’s never felt this way before for me. I thought I was broken.
After everything I’ve been through, I thought I was destined to never enjoy sex, my past and the memories never allowing me to be free enough to trust someone with my body, but he changed everything.
He’s so much more than I imagined. And he proved that over and over. It wasn’t a one-and-done. He took me over and over again. By the time he was done with me, my body was spent. I could hardly walk.
Now that I’ve had a taste, how can I move on?
There’s no choice.
“Oh God,” I moan into the steam.
This is bad. Very bad. I just wanted closure, and all I got was a slap in the face. He didn’t remember me, and that’s the bucket of ice-cold water that washes away the need for him.
