Insecurities

Birds were singing cheerfully outside the window as warm sunlight streamed in, slowly waking Cobra up from a deep sleep.

As he became more awake, his mind was blank at first.

But then memories from the night before started flooding back to him.

He remembered the heated touches, passionate kisses, and intimate sounds as the three of them - Cobra, Liam, and Anastasia - became physically intertwined.

Cobra's breathing grew shaky as panic crept in.

He had shown such a submissive, wanton side of himself in the throes of desire.

Now he felt insecure, wondering if Anastasia would still want him after seeing that vulnerability laid bare.

Determined to escape, if only momentarily, Cobra tried to extract himself from the tangled sheets and limbs to get out of bed.

But before he could move far, a strong arm snaked around his waist, pulling him back down firmly against a warm, solid body.
