Fuck.
I'm not hungover because of alcohol. I was drunk onhim.
"Shit," I hiss, throwing myself out of the bed. One of the sheets comes with me, and I rip it from the bed, using it to wrap myself.
"I've already seen you naked, Rylee," he says, rolling his eyes.
Anger floods through as I stand, glaring at him as I clutch the sheet to my body. "Why are you still here, Asher? Get out of my room."
Asher raises an eyebrow at me in surprise, slowly sitting up. The duvet falls from him, revealing his muscled chest. "Seriously?"
Flashbacks of last night rush through my mind, and I curse myself for being so fucking stupid. I don't know why I caved in – I was in a moment of weakness. I was emotional, heightened by Phoebe's wedding, then Asher's confession. But I meant what I said…
Nothing can fix this.
"This was a mistake," I snap, walking over to my still packed bags and opening them up. I start furiously looking for casual clothes, pulling out some shorts and a band shirt. I dig deeper, finding a sports bra and underwear and head to the bathroom.
I slam the door closed in frustration, dropping the sheet as I start pulling my clothes on. The bottom half is done and I'm just pulling my sports bra over my head when the door creaks open, and Asher walks in.
"Are we going to talk about this?" he asks, leaning against the doorframe, fully naked.
"No," I say simply, turning so my back is facing him. "There's nothing to talk about. I made it clear last night I didn't forgive you. Us fucking… that was a moment of weakness and hormones."
I hear him let out a deep groan. "Why are you going to continue to punish me? I explained it to you – it's Jenny. I'm doing this foryou."
I finish pulling on my shirt, whipping around to glare at him. I have to stop my eyes from wandering, but thankfully, I'm so fucking angry at myself, and him, that I'm in complete control.
"You think just because you're doing me some favor that all is forgiven? It doesn't work like that, Asher. You put us in that position to start with. And when I needed you, you tossed me aside like trash. I had to live through the consequences of this. I got kicked out of Brightmore." I storm past him back into the room, grabbing a brush and an elastic tie from the bag. "Now it's your turn to deal with the consequences. It's only fair. You have to be Jenny's little bitch for a bit? Good."
I pause for a second, tying my hair up. I spin back around, pointing at him. "Actually,no.It's notgood. At the end of your little slave sess, you get to walk away. You get to go back to normal. Idon't. My punishment was permanent. And you can't fix that."
Asher steps forward, his hand out which I smack away. He doesn't look fazed, dropping it to his side.
"I'm trying tofixit. But you're not letting me"
I walk over to the pile of abandoned clothes on the floor, scooping up his pants, jacket, brief trunks and torn shirt. I stomp over to him, throwing them at his chest.
"You can't, Asher. That's the thing. Last night was a mistake. Spin it how you want, but we both know it doesn't matter. This," I point between us. "Wouldn't work anyway. We don't make sense."
Heading to the door, I open it, gesturing for him to leave.
I hear a giggle, and look to the hallway to see two women in their 20s looking in, amused.
"Oh, for fuck's sake," Asher snaps, walking over and slamming the door closed. He turns towards me, pulling on his clothes. "You're being ridiculous."
"Me?! You just can't handle the fact I'm notcharmedby you. You can't smile and dick your way out of this one."
When he's dressed, as best as possible, I open the door again. The women have gone and I glare at Asher.
"You can't fix what you broke this time. Jenny might be punishing you temporarily, but this… this here is your consequence for what you did to me."
Asher looks at me silently, his face blank. Finally, he just shakes his head and walks out of the room. I slam the door closed after him, leaning against it as my heart pounds in my chest.
I look over at the bed, the sheets and duvet a mess.
I'm such a fucking idiot.
I go down to the building where the wedding was after receiving a text from Phoebe. The venue has kindly set up breakfast for the wedding party, and even though I'm starving, I'm nervous to talk to her.
