Chapter 8: Bad endings

Penelope

I woke up alone in bed this morning. Argent was my first, and he left me as if last night didn’t mean anything to him. Okay, so maybe I seduced him, but he didn’t push me away. Lying back on the bed, I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I didn’t know that sex could be so all-consuming. The way Argent’s body molded to mine and the feel of him bringing me to pleasure was like nothing I’ve ever felt before.

However, all I feel now is a hollowness inside my heart. Since the moment we met, I’ve felt this connection to Argent and this urgent need that has overwhelmed me. He’s so aloof and broody that even now, I don’t know if he wants me or if I was just a convenient lay. Instead of feeling sexy, I feel unsure and used.

For the rest of the day, instead of floating on a cloud, all I feel is a sense of disquiet.
