Chapter 49 Aaron's Visit

• The following morning,
• Dallin's eyes fluttered open, and he found himself enveloped in the warmth of Alistair's arms. The scene before him sent shockwaves through his senses. While he couldn't recall the events of the previous night, an unsettling feeling gnawed at him, suggesting that something regrettable had taken place.
• As he gingerly rose from the bed, a sharp ache in his back caught his attention. Reality hit him as he realized both of them were unclothed. A few fragmented memories from the night before trickled back into his mind – memories of intimate moments shared with Alistair and lost his virginity. The weight of those memories brought tears to his eyes; he hadn't anticipated this outcome.
