Izzy stood frozen long after Dominic walked away. Her body still trembled, every nerve alive with the echo of his touch. The night air was warm, soft with the scent of salt and suncream, but inside, she felt cold and dizzy. Around her, the music from the poolside carried faintly... laughter, splashing, clinking glasses... the sound of people enjoying a night she could no longer feel part of.
Her lips still tingled where he had kissed her.
Her n*****s are still hard from his mouth.
Her breath came in short, shaky bursts.
Her heart wouldn’t slow down no matter how hard she tried.
She pressed her hand to her chest, angry at herself for how easily he could still do this to her.
Why does he always have this effect on me? she thought bitterly.
Why can’t I stay away from him?
Dominic Stee
