I’ve no idea where I am or what happened. All I know is that it hurts.
It hurts so fucking bad.
There’s a vague flicker of a memory of Elliot telling me to slow down, that I’d regret it. Fucking know-it-all asshole.
Refusing to open my eyes, I suck in a deep lungful of air through my nose and then back out through my mouth in the hope it helps.
My stomach rolls and my head pounds like a fucking bass drum.
Vodka.
Whisky.
Pills.
Fuck me, I was flying. I was flying so fucking high.
But the crash.
What a motherfucker.
Images begin coming back to me. The team. Our friends.My heart thumps harder as I remember Millie being here.
She was at an Heirs party. I let her—
Raine.
Panic surges through me.
She vanished. She vanished and—
Reaching out, I search for her, but I quickly discover that it’s pointless because it seems I’m on the sofa.
Finally, I force my eyes open.
Holy motherfucker.
I’ve no idea what time it is but the winter sun is streaming through the stained-glass windows threatening to singe my eyeballs straight from my sockets.
But I don’t let it stop me. With a deep, stealing breath, I jump to my feet. The entire building spins around me and I have little choice but to reach out, using the wall to stop me from falling.
Pathetic, Ashworth. Fucking pathetic.
But my need for her knows no bounds and in only seconds, I’m standing at the bottom of Mount Everest—aka: the stairs—trying to convince myself that I’m prepared for the climb.
My legs barely follow orders and my stomach protests the entire way. But my heart. My heart knows exactly what it wants even when it pumps what I can only assume is pure alcohol around my veins.
When I get to the top, I discover that the house isn’t as silent as I first thought. There are voices and a not so discreet steady banging that comes from Oak and Tally’s room.
Heat stirs in the pit of my stomach.
Oh, what I wouldn’t give to lie back and watch my girl bouncing on my dick right about now.
My mouth waters as I think about finding her sleeping in my bed, diving under the duvet, spreading her legs and eating her until she wakes up screaming my name.
Fuck, yeah. Is there any better way to wake up?
With a new sense of purpose, I rush toward my room and throw the door open.
