Summary: When he comes, he cries my name, and I whisper yours. (Alex/Olivia)


The bedsprings groan under our movements, and I catch the unmistakable scent of sex and sweat, mingled with the sweet aroma of vanilla-scented candles.

He thrusts into me. I close my eyes and imagine that it's you hovering over me, fingers thrusting into me and your lips on my neck. My body instantly responds and I meet him, thrust for thrust. We find a natural rhythm, and I momentarily lose myself in the throes of passion.

When he comes, he cries my name, and I whisper yours. "Olivia." My breath catches in my throat, and I wait to see if he caught my blunder. But he's too caught up in his own ecstasy to notice my slip.

And then it's over. He rolls off of me and onto his side, one arm behind his head and the other strewn lazily over my stomach.

And suddenly, he's whispering my name, the only name that he's ever known me by: "Emily." I recoil from his touch and roll over. I close my eyes and try to steady my breathing, praying that he doesn't notice my tears.
