Chapter 11

DANI

I woke to the shower running. Meant Ash hadn’t bolted at daybreak like I’d expected.

Most women would take it as a good sign. Me? I wasn’t so sure. I’d never done morning-after etiquette. Ever.

My sexual dalliances ended the moment mutual satisfaction was achieved. I never stayed the night. And I never let them spend the night.

Which meant having Ashton sleep over was a first on many levels. The first time I’d had sex four times in one night. The first time I’d come every time. The first time I’d let a guy spoon me until dawn.

Initially, it had been a game to me. See how long before I could make him crack. I’d been seriously pissed when he’d stood me up for lunch so had invited him here with one thing in mind.

Seduction.

But that plan had gone to shit the moment I’d started blabbing about my past … what was it about this guy that had me wanting to confide?

Luckily, his comforting had ended up with the two of us exactly where I’d wanted to be: in bed. I should be over him now. That’s what usually happened when I had the slightest attraction to any guy back in LA. A bit of transient sex before moving on.

But looked like I was taking this new life start-over seriously, because the way I was feeling right now? Not over Ash. Far from it. Not even remotely.

I wanted more. More of him. More of what we’d shared last night. More of this insane, glorious feeling making me tingle from head to foot, a feeling I suspected bordered on happiness.

I’d never been truly happy. Not at any stage of my life. All those gifts my folks showered me with to appease their consciences? The guys I’d slept with? The vacations to ritzy resorts? I would’ve traded them all to feel one ounce of what I was feeling now.

My friendship with Mia was the closest thing I’d had to being happy, but even that had been underscored by my guilt at not telling her everything. It had tainted us. Culminating in the disastrous fuck-up that had led me here to get my life back on track.

Sleeping with Ash may not have been terribly smart considering my grand plan to stay away from guys and focus on my studies. But Ash wasn’t just any guy. He was the only friend I had here and the connection we shared counted for something. Something beyond sex.

That thought alone propelled me out of bed and toward the bathroom. I needed to see that the sex hadn’t changed us. That he could still look at me with that intoxicating mix of mischief and seriousness. My naughty geek, that’s how I’d come to think of him. For someone so somber most of the time, he could do wicked things in the bedroom.

He glanced over his shoulder and spotted me through the fogged shower screen the moment I stepped into the bathroom. I waited, holding my breath. Waited for him to turn off the taps so he could leave me to shower alone.
