"Can I?" Pulling on my arm, he steers me to him and our lips and bodies collide and liquefy with lust as soon as we connect

My eyes open and I tipserious?"

He looks up at s have beenreally fast" He rolls over to his side, his forehead furrowing, like he doesn’t understand why

I don’t understand why he’s suddenly saying no "Okay" Flustered, I clirab some pajamas out of the dresser and duck into the closet

"You know that curtain is pretty thin… it’s al his tone and then my iPod flips on and the sound of "Hands Down," by Dashboard Confessional druh the room

I’m so confused Why did he stop? Does he not want me? It sure as hell felt like he wanted me I quickly slip on a tank top and a short pair of boxer shorts I unclasp my studded bracelets and drop theht by the insane drawing of X’s I barely re rescued fro Feathers all over his crime scene I shut my eyes and try to su away The blackreal, just confusing?

I return to the rooh the curtain Asher is lying ona book with his boots kicked off and his jacket thrown on the floor

"Wait a minute… is that…" I reach for the book in his hands, but he rolls to his side, laughing as he reads a line from Raven’s romance novel "‘And then he takes his hand and slides it upit deep inside my wet--"
