Riley’s POV I have never felt this full before, not in my body, not in my head. It is like something calmed inside me after what happened with Caden, like a loud noise suddenly stopped and left only quiet behind. With Gunnar, it was different. It felt wild, rough, like he hated every second of it but could not stop himself no matter how hard he tried. With Caden, it felt reassuring. Like he knew exactly where to touch and when to pull away. The difference scares me because I do not understand why my body reacts to them at all. I push the thought away and rise from the bed slowly. My legs feel steady under me, which surprises me because after everything I have been through today, I expected to feel weak. I stand up fully and look around the room again. This place is not my apartment. T
