We were officially on break now, and I had wished many times the past few days that perhaps he had changed his mind and left for his trip after all.
Tiptoeing out of my room, I feel relief to see his bedroom door is closed. It's a small win, meaning absolutely nothing, but until the monster rears its head, I'll take whatever I can get.
I step into the kitchen, glancing around quickly to find it empty. Immediately, I relax, opening the fridge and grabbing random items of food to haul up to my bedroom.
Shoving them into my arms, I turn to leave, stumbling as I find Asher standing in the doorway watching me.
"You've been awfully quiet the last few days," he murmurs, taking note of the stack of food in my arms.
Composing myself, I straighten. "I've been catching up on rest."
Asher laughs, leaning against the door frame. "Is that so? Didn't sound very restful to me this morning."
My heart sinks as I force my face to stay in resting bitch face position. "Not sure what you mean by that."
"Hmm…" he says, walking into the kitchen. "Did you have any interesting dreams?"
Fuck.
"Not that I can remember."
My cheeks redden as I move to walk past him, but he swings his arm out, blocking the doorway.
"Wha-" I start but he cuts me off.
"You moaned my name."
No.
No, no, no.
A chill sweeps over me despite the house being warm. I tilt my head, deciding the best course of action is to call his bluff.
"Yeah, right. I was awake early and went out for a run. You must have been hearing things. Of course, a self-loving bastard like you would hear his own name."
Asher grabs the back of my neck, making me freeze. A packet of cheese falls from my grip, landing with a bang on the floor but we both ignore it.
Our eyes are locked, memories and tastes coming back from our last encounter.
"I saw you."
The air leaves my lungs as I stammer at him. "What?"
I search his eyes for a lie, but I can see the truth reflecting back at me. There's something different about his gaze. It burns, it smoulders… the intensity is threatening to break me into pieces.
His breath caresses my cheeks as he leans forward. "I came in. Iwatchedyou fuck yourself while moaning my name. I watched your body tense and shiver as you came while you dreamt of me."
"You're lying," I whisper, knowing his words are true.
Asher's face hardens, his eyes darting down to my lips. For a second, I think he's going to kiss me again and I feel my legs shake as I try to stay upright.
He leans down, his lips brushing against the shell of my ear. "We both know that's not true, Ry. I can only hope in your dreams I live up to the expectations."
Turning, he heads out of the room, leaving me speechless with an arm load full of food. My mind is a jumbled mess as I try to make sense of everything.
Sprinting back to my room, I fling the food carelessly onto the bed. I pace, looking back at the door. I was sure I locked it last night, like I always did. But I was so exhausted from restless nights that I couldn't be sure. It's very possible I fell asleep without doing so.
The thought of Asher watching me,again, sends a flood of heat to my thighs. Twice… twice he's seen me come apart. And it rocked me to my core.
