“Anyways, most would tell you that it is forbidden. I would have to say… f**k it, go for it… but don’t tell Aisling, will definitely freak…” She giggled.
“So you are OK with me exploring all these feelings, the feelings I have for my cousin?” I asked her again.
“ADOPTIVE cousin, babe… you are not really related… like I said, keep it quiet until you are sure that both of you are in the same page…” She said and I nodded.
“Thanks, Vicky…” I said and she gave me a warm hug.
“After what you went through, you deserve all the happiness there is, babe… Go get that happiness…” She said and I nodded.
It was what I needed to hear…
I made my way to my room and went straight for another shower… After again washing my skin raw, I wrapped myself in a bathrobe and made my way to the balcony.
I took a deep breath, “Isn´t it too late for you to be out here?”
I leaned forward and saw Matei staring out at the Moon. “I didn´t know this was your balcony…” I said, startled.
“You have a bad habit of leaving your door open…” He softly said, and I gasped.
“How?” I mumbled, realizing that he was the one locking my door every night.
“Move…” He said and when I was way back, close to the door, I saw him swiftly jump onto my balcony.
My eyes opened wide when I saw him take firm strides towards me. He opened his arms, and I took a step forward, wrapping myself in his warmth.
“f*****g hell… Baby Girl…” He said, his voice sending a shiver up and down my body. I took a deep breath, my body relaxing and molding against his, making me sigh,
“Mat…” I said, looking up, my voice weak, pleading. I can´t help myself anymore, I am drawn to him, I need him.
“You know that if I cross that line, there is no turning back…” He said, grasping the last ounce of restraint. He felt the same, but I didn´t care anymore…
“I don’t want to turn back…” I said and, stepping over my tippy toes, I crashed my lips over his.
