Chapter Five

Ashton

I can’t get Sadie’s deer-caught-in-the-headlights look out of my head. It’s especially disturbing because I’ve seen it plenty of times in the mirror whenever a girl starts to show signs of getting too serious.

It’s the same damn expression I wear right before I break things off with whoever I happen to be dating at the time.

Now that same look is lingering in Sadie’s eyes, and I don’t like it one bit. She tried to play it off. Tried using the excuse that Mandy would be home soon to get me out of her apartment.

But she’s scared, and it has nothing to do with sucking and swallowing. She feels more than she’s letting on, and I hate how she’s wrestling with herself over this. We’re approaching a fork in the road, but it’s coming up way too fucking fast for my liking, because if I can’t win her over, I’ll have to let her go in order to save our friendship.

I know her as well as I know myself. Sadie has always been part of me, but over time that part of me shifted. Morphed into this ball of longing in my gut I can’t ignore any longer. I’m dying to taste her lips, aching to get inside her body. Not just her body, but her soul.

The realization has been trickling in for what seems like forever, and now it’s crashing over me like an unstoppable wave. I fucking want her.

The annoying redhead my sister befriended on the playground when we were young and innocent.

The fiery girl who infiltrated my heart before I even realized it was happening.

The stunning woman who has me wrapped now.

I pull into my driveway and cut the engine on the bike. The rain has slowed to a drizzle, and tiny drops collect in my hair and on my coat as I head up the pathway to my front door. I stall at the sight of the shadowy form sitting on my front stoop. Corinne is huddling under the awning, staying dry from the rain.

“How long have you been waiting?”

“Not too long.”

Stepping past her, I insert a key into the doorknob. “You should have called,” I say, wincing at my harsh tone as I swing the door open.

She rises to her feet. “I would have if I’d known you’d be in such a shitty mood.”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to snap at you. I’ve just got a lot on my mind.” I switch on a light and gesture for her to come inside.

Corinne follows me into the living room. “I messaged you. Didn’t you get it?”

Shit. I completely forgot. “Uh, yeah, I did. It’s been a busy day.”

She settles a hand on my arm. “Did I do something to piss you off?”

I take in her hunched shoulders and feel my own slump. “You didn’t do anything, Corinne. I just wasn’t expecting you.”

Nibbling on her lower lip, she stares at me with hurt in her brown eyes. “I miss you.”

And I know I’m wearing the expression—the same one Sadie shot my way before I left her apartment twenty minutes ago.
