Asher lay still, staring at the ceiling while Hailey slept against his bare chest.
Her body felt warm, completely relaxed in deep sleep. A small smile rested on her lips, as if she was having a nice dream.
Strands of her hair brushed against his skin, but he didn't mind.
But he couldn't say the same for himself.
Guilt weighed on him after his moment of clarity—he just married Lucy, yet here he was, cheating on her.
'Do I regret it?' he asked himself, wondering if this was a question men often asked after betraying their partner.
He turned his head to look at Hailey. She looked really beautiful and mesmerizing.
A part of him knew what he did was wrong, but another part felt it was worth the risk.
After all, he gained more than just pleasure from her.
The power surging through his body was proof of that—it was only possible because of sleeping with her.
And if he were asked again whether he would do it, the answer would be absolutely yes—a hundred times over.
