Boom. Boom. Boom. My head throbs like a marching band. Something crawls up the back of my neck and my body trembles, the movement making my head hurt even more.

I try to brush whatever it is away, but my movements are sluggish, slow, as if I’m in quicksand. It’s almost impossible to move. Am I dreaming? What’s wrong with me?

The same tickling sensation tingles along the side of my arm and my slow, heavy movements only frustrate me more. Everything takes so much effort. The tickle now glides across my cheek, slithering down my jaw and neck. I tremble again. Irritated and confused.

With what feels like an impossible amount of effort, I blink and finally pry open my eyes. It’s dark. Where am I? Oh my God, am I back in Ash’s dungeon? No, it isn’t that dark. Beams of hazy light filter in and I can make out a ceiling. Pre-dawn, maybe?

I can’t focus. What is wrong with me? Panic smothers and unfurls in my chest and plants itself deep in my gut. I shift and the familiar feel of a mattress supports my body. A bed? I don’t remember going to sleep.

Where am I? What’s the last thing I remember? Coffee. My apartment. Everything upside down.

The mattress dips beside me. Someone is next to me. In bed with me. I try not to breathe, my will clawing at this oppressive force weighing down not only my muscles but also my mind. Icy tentacles of terror spread through my insides, my brain frantically searching for an explanation, some reason for any of this. What the hell is going on?

“Good morning. You still sleep like a beauty.” His voice is an ice pick to my heart.

I freeze both thought and movement. I must be dreaming. No, a nightmare. This can’t be real. Why does it sound like Ash is beside me?

Slowly, even more determined than ever, my body sluggishly turns in the direction of his voice. I want to scream. Ash is in bed with me, lying on his side with his head propped in his hand. His dark disturbing eyes drill into me and his wicked grin burns my insides.

A tornado of crushing thoughts and emotions flies at me. I thought I had time. I thought I could get in and out of my place without worrying about him. Stupid. Why did I underestimate him? Of all people, I know what he is capable of. Fuck!

A black feather is in his other hand, hovering in mid-air as he fans its wisps back and forth against the dark scruff of his neck. That was the tickling sensation.

“What are you doing here?” My mouth is drier than a desert and my words come out more like a croak.

Move.

Run.

These thoughts bombard my mind, but I’ve been drugged. It’s the only logical reason why I feel the way I do. It’s why I can’t remember what happened before this or how he got into my home.

And as I lie in the bed, I’m suddenly and acutely aware that I’m naked under the covers.
