Desired by All and He Threw Away 122

Chapter 122 

Taylor pov 

The room finally stops spinning though the air between us feels thick enough to choke on.my lungs ache with every shallow breath as if the oxygen itself is heavy with all the unspoken things hanging between us., 

Aiden stands across from me shoulders stiff hands flexing at his sides like hes trying to squeeze meaning out of his fingers.,his usual confidence the quiet strength that makes him seem untouchable is gone replaced by something jittery fragile― human,. 

i swallow hard trying to anchor myself to something solid.the sunlight filters in through the half open window brushing across the carpet and her desk in thin golden strips. 

it should feel warm comforting but right now it only highlights the tension stretching the space like an invisible cord ready to snap,. 

“so… you came because i sent you the message?“my voice cracks and i hate the tremor in it.i didnt mean to let it show but it’s impossible to hide,. confusion twists every syllable an ache curling through my chest,. 

he shifts and i see it- the flicker of hesitation in his eyes.Something he never allows to show. Aiden, steady Aiden, always sure, always unshakable. Not now. Not here. 

“I didn’t, Aiden.i never sent anything, “i whisper my throat tight.my words float between us fragile unsure. “but …why did you come anyway?” 

his gaze drops skimming the floor as if it holds the answers hes too afraid to say out loud.my stomach twists.this isnt the Aiden i know. 

he is the one who meets life head on who always knows exactly what to do.right now he looks like a boy caught in a storm he cant control., 

“i…“his throat works around the words a soft ragged sound that makes me lean forward wanting to catch them before they escape. ” i thought…you wanted to sleep with me,.‘ 

the confession hits me like ice water.sharp jarring.my chest freezes my pulse stuttering because its not the words themselves that stop me- its how raw he sounds the tremble beneath the strength i usually rely on,. 

Vulnerable. Exposed. 

i blink because im not sure what to do with that.not just with his words but with him- Aiden standing here shaking slightly jaw tight like the truth he just spat out has cost him something i cant see but can almost feel,. 

“Aiden…“my whisper is barely there but it feels loud enough to make the room shiver,. 

he doesnt look at me right away.when he finally meets my eyes there is a flicker of something unspoken passing between us something both terrifying and familiar. 

years of avoidance of pretending we’re just teammates just friends, just…anything but this.and now its here and it refuses to be ignored,. 

the tension shifts, deepening.the air feels hotter thicker like every molecule is charged and vibrating.my heartbeat stumbles then races.

i can feel it in my ears in my fingers in the pit of my stomach a drumbeat that matches his.he exhales a low unsteady sound that vibrates through the space between us,. 

“i know how it sounds, “he says voice low tight. “i just–everything thats been happening between us…i thought maybe this was your way of… wanting more.” 

the words strike something inside me a nerve i didnt realize existed until now,.because part of me does want more.Always has, maybe. 

and now standing here seeing him like this hearing him like this i cant deny it.i want it.i want him,. 

the space between us feels magnetic impossible to ignore.his uncertainty his honesty the way hes stripped down all the bravado that usually makes him untouchable- they tear down walls i didnt know i would built. 

heat floods my cheeks my hands curl at my sides as if gripping air could somehow steady me.i cant step back.i dont want to.neither can he,. 

we are not touching not even close but the air hums with it.every breath he takes feels like it brushes against my skin every movement a pull that draws me closer without effort.
