“Oh, you totally are” He chuckles

I sigh and let uard down Asher is supposed to be ht now is a friend I feel abandoned by Liam Rejected And it sucks “It’s just… look at the at it “It’s not fair”

Asher wrinkles his nose I guess he doesn’t like watching those two get it on either “What’s not?”

“I’ a C-rated porn” I pause to glance up at Asher I hate that I have tears in my eyes I hate that Liaht of ht have considered coain if they were all like this, but now all I want to do is curl into a ball and cry “Why can’t Liam look at me like that?”

“Like a fucking steak?” Asher growls He sounds angry, but I don’t have it infaster than a deck of cards and there’s nothing I can do to stop them

“No, like so he wants” I bite

“Well, then let’s make him want you” Asher sits on the couch besideainst mine For a full heartbeat, we’re both stiff But then his tongue traces the seam of my lips and I ue slides against mine

Asher wraps his arlide across his shoulders and to his neck This feels too good I’ve wanted to do this longer than I’ll let uy in s I buried all thoughts of Asher in the trenches of hell when he went fro dor I could have ever iined

Our uely ree house An even further thought is Lia to kiss the hell out of this ether

Gradually, Asher pulls away We stare at each other for a long ood?”

“Yeah,” I reply breathlessly

“Awesos me close We pause in front of Lia us whileout with Corah

Asher smirks as we pass them and says, “Get a room”

I force ht in my car turns on I don’t knohen I fell asleep, but at some point on the drive to Asher’s house, Ifroain I like the dark It doesn’t ain and I wince at the brightness

“Coet you inside” Asher leans across me and unclicks my seatbelt
