All of Svena.

Under the picture is a text promising a night of fun.

My eyes glaze over.

Yesterday, I would have jumped on that chance.

Today, this picture does nothing for me. What the hell changed between now and last night?

Asia’s face pops into mind. Her smooth brown skin. The little wrinkle between her brows. Her soft fingers pressing into my palm as she returned my business card and walked away.

I groan, hating myself for getting caught on this girl.

Asia or no, my fling with Svena is over.

I send her a polite ‘this was fun, but let’s end it here’ text and roll over to fall asleep.

Hansley

Present Day, Vegas

I wake up to the sound of a frantic scream. A moment later, a dainty foot slams into my thigh with enough force to shatter the bone.

I charge up, my entire body crackling with pain.

There’s a woman next to me. Sunlight dances over her mocha brown skin.

Turns her deep brown eyes to a light chocolate tone.

Falls on her dark hand clutching a blanket to her chest.

My gaze wanders back to her face.

Shock slams into me. “Asia?”

“What the hell is this?” she shrieks. “What the hell did you do, Hansley?”

Her voice gets inside my head, rattling around like nails on a chalk board. I press my palms against my ears. “Can you lower your voice, woman?”

“I will not!” Each word climbs in volume until she’s shouting loud enough to shatter glass.

I squeeze my eyes shut. Rub my temple.

It’s early.

I just woke up.

My head is killing me.

And Asia’s in my bed…

My eyes burst open. Why the hell is Asia naked in my bed?

I wrench my gaze back to her.

Look over her.
