Afterwards, Robin will know that it was wrong. She'll know she cheated on Kevin. It's non-negotiable that this will be the worst thing she's ever done. She'll know.

But when it happens… when Barney presses her against the door as he fumbles for the door knob, his lips find the pulse point on her neck. And Robin feels tears prick behind her lids at how good it feels.

She groans his name and they stumble into the bedroom, clothes coming off in the process. They sink onto his bed and, in this moment, it doesn't feel like cheating at all.
