You didn’t mean for it to happen.

One drink turned into three. Laughter turned into looks. Alex poured the last round, Casey slid a hand over your knee, and something electric passed between the three of you—charged, forbidden, unspoken.

You knew they were a couple. That wasn’t the secret. The secret was how safe you felt between them, how easy it was to forget the world when their attention was all on you.

The morning light was unforgiving.

You woke tangled in sheets that weren’t yours, Alex’s arm over your waist, Casey curled close on your other side. Your heart thudded. Your head ached. You blinked at the ceiling and whispered the only thing you could hear

“You okay?” Alex stirred.

“We should talk.” Casey murmured

And you…You weren’t sure if it was a mistake—Or just the beginning of something you weren’t ready for.
