breath as Wes came up behind me, our bodies inches from each other in the narrow stairwell.

    “W-what are you doing here?” With the mix of alcohol and lust in my system, it wasn’t a good idea for me to be in such a small area with him.
    He didn’t speak as he kept approaching. We locked eyes in the dim light, and his gaze was just as ravenous as before. Only this time, I didn’t look away. The air in the tiny space thickened, hovering over us with nowhere to go. My heart pounded in my chest, pumping blood to places it didn’t need to go.
    “Nice show out there.”
    I folded my arms in front of me, as if that would be enough to keep him away. “There was no show. I was just having fun. Who’s the redhead?”
    He stood in front of me, chuckling at my response, but didn’t touch. His heavy breath smoldered over every exposed part of my body.
    “Jealous?”
    “No,” I snapped back a little too quickly.
    He rested his finger on the neckline of my dress. “Don’t worry, she’s just a friend. So… you never answered my question.”
    “What question?”
    “Are you sure you’re a lesbian now?”
    The hand hovering over my cleavage moved to grip my waist. I smacked him away.
    “You don’t get to do this! I’ve spent the last three years trying to forget about you. You can’t just show up and… and…”
    He grazed his knuckles across my cheek, stopping me mid-rant. His hands always had a way of calming me, his skin on mine more intoxicating than any amount of liquor.
    “I’ve spent the last three years trying to find you, trying to hold onto the memories we once shared. Trying to convince myself that one day, I’d get to experience what we had again.”
    “What makes you think I want anything to do with you after all this time?”
    “Because… this,” he lowered his head, his lips lightly brushing over mine. It took every ounce of me not to tilt my head forward to meet his waiting kiss.
    “And because… this.” He rested his hand over my beating heart, my pulse racing under his fingertips. His skin tickling against mine made me heat up, and I couldn’t hide the shiver that ran throughout my body. He smiled.
    “And of course… this.”
    I gasped as he cupped my pussy, lightly rubbing me through the dress.
    “We can’t do this,” I said, although I made no attempt to back away.
    His lips moved to my ear. “Why? Oh, because you’re a lesbian now, right?”
    “Mmm. Mmm hmm,” I moaned, nodding my head quickly as he continued massaging my sex.
    My uneven breathing was just as loud as his. Even with everything we’d been through, my body was still drawn to him. Since our breakup, I’d been celibate for the most part, but it wasn’t due to lack of arousal.
    I used to love the way he made my body feel, and I was in need of a huge release. He leaned into me, and my hand shot out to pull him even closer.
    “You don’t seem like one to me.”
    He palmed me hard, and my body arched into his hand before I could stop myself. I clutched a fistful of his hair and forced his eyes to mine.
    “Like you said, maybe I need to be with a man again to find out.”
    He chuckled, a smile on his lips as they met mine. Our lips re-familiarized themselves with each other as our tongues swirled in unison. He pressed my body against the cold stone wall, yanking the top of my dress down.
    His head lowered, covering my already hard nipple with his warm mouth, sucking at the swollen nub.
    Lifting my dress, his hands slid under my skirt, firmly massaging my ass as he moved his mouth to work my other nipple.
    “Oh God, I’ve missed you so much,” he said, moving back to my lips.
    A cold object pressed against my chest. I pushed him back and reached for the source, my fingers grabbing a tiny trinket that hung from a chain around his neck.
    I held it up in a stream of light, gasping when I recognized it.
    “My ring.”
    He watched me intently as I studied the sparkling diamond. “I never take it
