Love in the Most Awkward Places [Chapter 4] (18+)

First night back and the rain is already doing the most. He sits naked in his own living room, still haunted by Angelina and every warning he ignored, when the door clicks open. Steve’s wife walks in wearing almost nothing, eyes locked, voice soft, offering exactly what his body wants and his mind is terrified of. One touch and the past and present blur so hard he screams her out and locks himself against the door like the house itself is trying to finish what Angelina started.

He ends up on the floor, back to the wood, crying and hard at the same time while every memory of the girl who ruined him plays on loop — and the new woman’s body keeps cutting in. The vow to stay away from women is already cracking. Chapter 4 is the “I said I was done and the universe said bet” episode. She’s next door. He’s not ready. You need to see if the door stays shut.
