When their breathing returned to normal Stefan spoke. “This changes nothing.”
“This changes everything.”
“It was a moment of weakness.”
“Careful, Stefan, admitting that could ruin your image.”
“You know what I meant, Laura.”
“Why won’t you admit you still love me?”
“I no longer trust you.”
“You will again.”
“Loving you caused me years of pain.”
“Then I’ll settle for great sex.”
“Without love?”
“You love me. Admit it.”
“But I still cannot trust you.”
“Trust is overrated anyway.”
“What are you doing, Laura?”
“Kissing your… pain. Should I stop?”
“N-n-no.”
“What about trust?”
“A discussion for the morning.”
