Ashley

I didn’t look back as I walked out the front door. He’d hurt me more than any man I’d known, including Deshawn. I had no intention of sleeping with Tom, but even if I had, it wouldn’t have made me a whore. Sebastian didn’t care about me. We had great chemistry in bed, but outside of it he was a demon. Maybe that was being a little dramatic, asshole would fit better.

My heart felt like it was going to shatter at any moment, and I didn’t know why I felt that way. I agreed to let him use me, and he didn’t deserve any emotion from me. So, why did I want to go sit down on the steps and cry about it? Since I’d met him, I’d become a person I couldn’t stand. I wanted the life I had back, one where I didn’t deal with sexual needs or emotions like falling in love.

The instant that thought filled my mind, I cringed. I was not falling in love with Sebastian Church! I refused. He’d humiliated me, hurt me, and gave me the best sex of my life. No! That didn’t matter. He was a horrible person and I deserved better than what a man like him could offer. When Tom drove up, I ran to his car, sliding in the passenger seat even as he tried to get out.

“Please take me away from here.” I secured my seatbelt and felt myself on the verge of breaking down. Obliging, he sat back down and drove.

“I’ll destroy him.” He pulled the car over to the side of the road, opened his door and came around to my side opening mine. Kneeling on the ground, he grabbed my hands in his. “Tell me what you need, Ashley, it kills me to see you hurting this way.”

I needed the comfort he offered, so I clipped off my seatbelt and hugged him tightly, allowing all that pain to be lost in his arms. He held me, stroking my hair tenderly, whispering soothing, compassionate words. “All of this will be nothing more than a bad memory soon.” His hands grasped my cheeks, and he smiled compassionately into my eyes. “I’ll do whatever it takes to make you smile again.” He placed a light kiss on my forehead.

“We barely know each other.” I felt a connection with him, but it was insane because we were virtually strangers. Maybe it was just having someone that wasn’t using me, or seeming to care about my feelings, that made it seem that way.

“Forgive me. I know you’re right, but I want to help you.” He wiped away my tears with his thumbs and stood up. I didn’t understand what
