They stood there, wrapped in each other's arms; Gage rested his head on Nicole's chest, his ear listening to the gentle beating of her heart. They were still standing at the kitchen counter, where their passion had ignited just moments before.

Nicole's fingers absently stroked Gage's hair, her eyes gazing up at the ceiling. "This position was good," she said, her voice soft and contented.

And yet, I repaid her by being selfish, by running away from her when she needed me most."Nicole's tears began to fall, streaming

    Nicole took a deep breath and began to explain the situation to Ashley. "Ash, you know how Gage and I were in a friends with benefits agreement? Well, things got complicated. Gage fell for me, and I...I couldn't deny that there was something between us. Something that I couldn't connect with Jack."Ashley's eyes widened in surprise, but Nicole continued. "I know it's not fully Jack's fault that he didn't trust me. I never let him get close to me, not really. But with Gage...it was different. His touch, his kiss... it melted me, Ash.
