Soft sheets brush against my skin. I moan, pressing my cheek into the pillow and draw in a deep breath. An absolutely intoxicating scent fills my lungs.

Confusion ripples through me.

Untangling my arm from the sheets, I lift my hand and rub my eyes while trying to push the sleep from my bones. I blink, staring up at a dark wooden ceiling.

Which can’t be right.

Because the ceiling in my room is white.

I frown, and then jerk my head down to stare at the cover that lies draped over me. It’s black. I frown deeper, feeling like my mind is trying to push through mud. Why are the bedclothes black?

“Finally,” a familiar voice says from my right. A very familiar voice.

I snap my gaze towards it, and my heart leaps into my throat.

Kaden is sitting at a desk, sharpening a set of knives. No, not a desk. He’s sitting at his desk. In his room. Which means that the bed I’m occupying is his bed.

My pulse flutters as I scramble out of bed and quickly straighten on the floor next to it instead while trying my best not to look as flustered as I feel.

Amusement dances over Kaden’s severe features as he watches me while still continuing to expertly sharpen his blade. He flicks a glance up and down my body, and a faint smirk curls his lips.

The heat already radiating from my cheeks gets even worse. I brush my hands down my now rumpled clothes. I’m still wearing the short blue dress that I wore to the nightclub, but Kaden has taken off my high heels and placed them by the door. I glance at them while quickly raking my fingers through my messy hair to untangle it.

Kaden chuckles softly.

The embarrassment whirling through me intensifies, and I cross my arms over my chest instead before fixing him with a glare. “What the hell did you do? Kidnap me?”

A knowing smile spreads across his lips. “If I had kidnapped you, you would be gagged, blindfolded, and shackled to my bed right now.”

My heart skips a beat at the mental image that flashes through my mind.

“But you’re not.” He lifts his shoulders in a lazy shrug. “Hence, no kidnapping.”

“Then what the hell am I doing here? Because I most certainly would never have climbed into your bed on my own.”

A sly smile tilts his lips. “You already have, remember?”

I shoot him a glare. “Just answer the question.”

“You fell asleep in my car on the way back.”

Oh. Right. I blink as memories flood my brain. The nightclub. The amount of alcohol I consumed. The confrontation with Eric. The restaurant that Kaden took me to afterwards.

My gaze darts towards the windows. It’s still dark outside, which means that it must be the middle of the night. Thank God I texted Carla that I was heading home with someone else before I got into Kaden’s car. Otherwise, she would probably have sent out a search party by now. Or worse, called my brothers.

As if he can read my mind, Kaden arches a dark brow and gives me a pointed look.
