Delicate fingers ran languidly along Lily's collarbone. Long nails ghosted over her pale skin, traced a mole on her upper arm. A small, soft body snuggled closer beneath unfamiliar covers.
"I have to tell Holden, don't I?"
Carly lifted her head from Lily's chest, peering up at her through damp, blonde curls. "I can't say what's right for your marriage."
Lily brushed the hair from Carly's face, running a thumb across a stunning cheekbone as she tucked the strands gently behind her ear. "I'm not just asking about my marriage. I'm asking what you think is right for us."
Carly swallowed hard, the word reverberating in her mind. Us. That's what they'd somehow become. Lily's sweet voice had whispered it as though it were the most beautiful thing that could have possibly happened to them. And Carly knew -- despite the inevitable fallout -- that it was.
