✨EXCERPT: THE TEMPTATION OF TRUTH by @britbensonwritesbooks releasing November 14!
#PreOrderHere
“I shouldn’t have kissed you.”
“I kissed you back.”
My breath hitches. She did kiss me back. She did. It was real, then. It wasn’t just in my head. But, God, why does she look so sad? What did I do wrong?
“Then why...then what...” I trail off, and Mabel huffs a tired laugh. “You’re drunk.” “I’m not. I’m not drunk. I only had two. Or maybe three. I’m not...at least I don’t think...”
“And I’m older than you. I’m in a position of power. I don’t want to take advantage of you when—”
“You’re not in a position of power,” I interrupt. “You’re not my boss. Sav is. And you’re not that much older than me. Seven-ish years is basically nothing. You’re not taking advantage. I started it. I wanted it.”
Mabel smiles a soft, sad smile, then she takes a step forward, grabs my left hand and rubs my naked ring finger.
“You’re married, Aurora.”
There it is.
I stepped out of the fog, fell over the cliff, and this is where I crash right into the ground. I can practically hear the crunch of bone. I can absolutely feel it.
Brady.
I’m married.
I’m married, but I just kissed someone else. My husband was so far from my mind that he practically didn’t exist. I didn’t consider him once. Not once. I’m a horrible wife. I’m a terrible person.
I’m married, but I just kissed Mabel Rossi, and God help me, but I want to do it again. I have never, ever wanted to do anything more in my whole life. In this moment, I would burn my whole life to the ground to touch her one more time, and it’s terrifying.
