SWNOVELS Chapter 218
hapter 218
The city sprawled beneath us as Timothy's car glided through the streets. The
familiar city lights blurred into a hazy glow, almost dizzying to look at.
The drive back to our apartments was filled with a heavy silence. The disastrous
dinner replayed in my mind like a haunting melody, and I couldn't shake the
image of my mother out of my mind. I felt around in my pocket for the slip of
paper she had handed me, her number sprawled across its surface.
As Timothy parked the car, he turned to me with a remorseful expression. “Evie,
I'm so sorry about tonight. I had no idea it would turn out like that.”
I offered a half-smile, attempting to downplay the severity of the situation. “It's
okay. It was the thought that counted, right?”
He sighed. “I just wanted you to meet my father and, well, I didn’t anticipate the
whole Mia situation.”
I nodded, the bitterness of the evening still fresh in my mind. “It's not your fault. I
appreciate you wanting to bring me anyway, even if it was more than I bargained
for.”
He gave me a sympathetic look. “I had no idea your mother was Mia. I wouldn't
have invited you if I did.”
I shrugged, trying to dismiss the weight of disappointment. “It's fine. It's not like I
expected her to be Mother of
the Year.”
Timothy ran a hand through his hair, his eyes searching for the right words. “I just
feel so awful. I mean, what do you say to that? I never meant to put you in such
an awkward situation.”
“It's not your fault,” I repeated. “I just need some time to process everything.”
As we stepped out of the car, he wrapped his arm around me and we walked
inside. As we reached my door, Timothy turned to me with a sincerity that eased
the tension.
“I hope you know that I'm here for you. If you need anything, just let me know.”
I smiled. “Thank you.”
Timothy leaned in, his lips brushing against mine. I found myself responding,
wrapping my arms around his neck.

We stumbled backward, our lips still locked, and his back slammed into his
apartment door. We broke apart for a
moment as he searched for his keys and jammed them into the lock.
Without a word, he took my hand and led me inside.
The night unfolded in a blur of tangled limbs and whispered confessions. It was
the loudest I'd ever been, my nails dragging down his bare back and leaving
streaks of broken skin as he drove into me. The friction left me delirious, and I felt
my mind slip away as though nothing else mattered.
As he peppered my burning skin with soft kisses, I felt an intense need that had
been locked away for a long time. Neither of us was able to get enough, clinging
onto each other throughout the night in a desperate frenzy
of desire.
My eyes fluttered open as streaks of sun poured into the room, I grumbled and
attempted to turn away, my head pulsing. My body didn’t budge, however,
As I looked down, I saw a pair of arms wrapped around me in a protective
embrace. Reality crashed back, and
the events of the night replayed in my mind.
I gently extricated myself from Timothy's arms, careful not to wake him. The room
was silent, except for the steady rhythm of his breathing. As I searched the room
for my clothes, my initial fears withered away.
The clothes hung off me awkwardly as I tiptoed towards the door, leaving behind
the tangled sheets and the traces of our momentary connection. Timothy patted
the space beside him, searching for me, and his face pinched in protest.
I stifled a laugh and slipped out the door, only to be met with the cold, wet touch
of Duke’s nose in my behind.
“Duke!” I hissed, keeping my voice low. He circled around me, jumping with glee.
When he left him with a single pat on the head, he barked.
“Keep it down, boy!” I pressed a finger to my lips, but he barked louder.
Duke was clearly not a fan of sneaky exits. The barking echoed through the
apartment, undoubtedly rousing Timothy from his slumber. Panic surged within
me as I glanced back at the bedroom door and saw it crack open.

Timothy emerged, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, his expression shifting from
confusion to hurt as he spotted me near the exit. “Hey, where are you running off
to?” he asked, his voice raspy.
My mind raced for an excuse, and I settled on a half-truth. “I have a ton of work
to cover at the office. I also didn't think you'd want me to stay the night,” I replied,
avoiding eye contact.
His hurt expression deepened into a frown. “Evie, you're always welcome here.
You don't have to run off.”
I hesitated, noticing that he'd walked out only in a pair of briefs. The heat
returned to my cheeks and I looked away, as though I hadn't seen every inch of
him last night.
He ran a hand through his disheveled hair, looking genuinely concerned. “Is
something wrong? Did I do something?”
I sighed, realizing the need for honesty. “It's not you, Timothy. I just...that was
quite a night.”
His expression softened and a sly grin emerged on his lips. “It was.”
I didn't consider what would happen the morning after. I didn't even think we'd
spend the night together. It felt so soon yet long awaited all at once.
“Actually,” he continued, “how about I make you breakfast? Before you head to
work.”
The offer caught me off guard, and a hint of relief washed over me. “Breakfast
sounds good,” I admitted, a grateful smile escaping.
As Timothy busied himself in the kitchen, the scent of sizzling bacon and brewing
coffee filled the air. The rhythmic clatter of pans and the soft hum of conversation
between us created a comforting ambiance, almost
domestic.
As we sat down to eat, a semblance of normalcy returned. Timothy's presence
was warm and inviting, and I couldn't help but contrast it to how our first time
was, I admittedly felt less clumsy this time around, more
daring.
We exchanged casual conversation, the awkwardness of the morning dissipating
with each shared smile. It all felt so natural. I tossed Duke some of my spare
bacon and he leaped to catch it.
Timothy's eyes, warm and inviting, met mine. “You know, we could both stay in
today. We could ditch work and just cuddle all day.”

“I don’t know if I have another round in me,” I said, noting the suggestion in his
voice. I was still feeling sore.
He leaned over and nibbled at the shell of my ear, and I swatted his hand away
when I caught it reaching for my last piece of bacon. “If you say so.”
