Ash

As I went to sleep next to Breaker’s chest, beneath the crook of his chin, I couldn’t help but think that Holly was the one who needed mental help. A guy this sweet, with that much heart—she was a real piece of work.

I woke in the middle of the night and the twinkly lights had been extinguished. A lone ray of moonlight shone through the bay window onto his face. Even in his sleep he scowled.

“You’ve done such a number on me Breaker James. I came in here revved up to get a job done and mind my own business. But instead you’ve caught me in your snare. You couldn’t get rid of me if you tried.”

I turned over facing the window since my arm had fallen asleep. His arm snaked around my waist and pulled me flush against him. “Believe me baby, if someone’s gonna do the ridding, it’s gonna be you.” His voice was so faint, I didn’t know if he was asleep or not.

Either way, he was wrong.

The next morning, I woke early and decided to let him sleep. He’d finally lost his frown and I took it as a sign that he was in a deep sleep. I decided to crawl over him, since that was the quickest way to the door. I threw one leg over his waist, holding my breath, staring at his closed lids, looking for the littlest stir. I got one knee on the floor beside him and moved to pull the other one over when he clamped down on my hands.

“Good morning.” His gray eyes twinkled with mischief.

“Hi. I have to register for the fall semester today. And I’ve got to get some other things done. But I will see you when I get back. Right?” My hips pulsed a twinge, something I’d never done but it sent a thrill through me.

He ran his hands through my tangled mass of hair, “Damn you light me up. Go. Do what you have to so we can continue this. And if you do that thing with your hips again, I’m gonna lose it. Keep that in mind.”

I brought that hand to my face and kissed his palm. “I’ll be back soon.” I jumped up to shower and get dressed before I changed my mind, because changing my mind at this point would be so easy.

I toweled off, mentally making a list of things I needed to do. I had to use the university computers to register. And I could’ve used Breaker’s but I needed a little space. And as soon as I registered, I was gonna go have lunch with my dad. It had been too long since I saw him. And I’d been hiding my little situation with Breaker from him on purpose. But there was just so long I could hide things from my dad without the guilt seeping into my veins.

I registered for a full course load. I was the first one in the computer lab so I was in and out quickly.
