"Crossing Boundaries"

Part 21

As I watched Alex and Lila laugh and cuddle together, I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. They were being their usual, overly affectionate selves, holding hands and stealing kisses whenever they thought no one was looking. It was like they were trying to prove something, to show the world that they were happy and in love. But I knew better. I knew that Lila was still reeling from our encounter at dinner, and that she was only using Alex as a distraction. I felt a twinge of guilt for knowing this, for being a part of the reason she was acting this way. But at the same time, I couldn't help but feel drawn to her, like a moth to a flame. As the night wore on, I found myself gravitating towards her, my eyes drifting to her whenever I thought she wasn't looking. And when we were alone for a moment, I couldn't resist. I reached out and pulled her into a kiss, my heart racing with anticipation. But this time, something was different. This time, Lila kissed me back, her lips pressing into mine with a hunger that I'd never seen before. I was taken aback, my mind reeling with the implications of what was happening. As we pulled back, gasping for air, Lila's eyes locked onto mine. "When are we going to fuck?" she asked, her voice husky and seductive. I felt a jolt of surprise, but also a spark of desire. I knew I shouldn't be doing this, that I was crossing a line by kissing my best friend's girlfriend. But at the same time, I couldn't deny the chemistry between us. "I'll never sleep with my best friend's girl," I said, trying to sound firm. But the words felt hollow, even to my own ears. I knew I was lying, that I was already in too deep. Lila's eyes narrowed, her gaze searching mine. "You're not making any sense, Jace," she said, her voice low and teasing. "You kiss me like you mean it, but then you say something like that. What's going on?" I shrugged, feeling like I was trapped in a web of my own making. I didn't know what was going on, or where this was leading. All I knew was that I was in too deep, and I didn't know how to get out.
