I think I’m prepared for what I’ll see when I get there, but Ashton opens the door in a towel slung low on his hips and my breath goes erratic.

“Hey, how was your weekend? How’s Jess?” Ash asks me, and doesn’t address his lack of clothes, or thathis hair is a mess, sticky with clumps in some spots from... Good God, Ford came in his hair.

“It was a nice weekend. Jess is great. Where’s Bernadette?” I need to get her away from these sex maniacs.

Then again, the things I plan to do to her aren’t exactly tame.

Ash’s mouth stretches into a wide smile.

“She’s in the shower.” He waits a beat. “With Ford.”

My heart crashes into my stomach. Christ... I’m alarmed at how much this bothers me. That I like Bernadette more than I realize.

“Okay.” I step back.

“Where are you going? He’ll be done with her soon.”

I tilt my head, anger making me see red.

“She’s not a fuck toy for you to use,” I bark.

“Whoa. What’s the matter?” Ash snaps. “No one’s using her as a toy. She’s fully on board. She’s not being forced.”

“I didn’t mean it like that,” I say, shaking my head. “I’m just...tired. I would like some time with thewoman I paid for.”

“You went away for the weekend. Did you want her to be alone?”

Yes.

“No. I don’t know.” I’m not making sense and being irrational, attacked by emotions I don’t fucking understand. “I’ll see her tomorrow.”

“She talked about you all weekend.”

“Yeah, right.” With these two shoving their dicks in her mouthall weekend, did she really have an opportunity to utteranywords? Let alone talk aboutme?

“I’m telling you the truth.” Ash knocks into me and his towel drops to the floor.

My eyes zero in on his cock and anger blurs my vision. To see exactly what’s been penetrating the woman I’m falling for knocks the breath out of me.

“You okay?” Ash bends over to pick up the towel but doesn’t knot it around his waist. Just holds it up to his body, completely oblivious to how I’m reacting.

“It’s late.” I back away. “Bernadette is working for me. She needs her sleep. That fuck-horse boyfriend of yours will exhaust her all night. Just let her get some rest. I’ll see her tomorrow and talk to her.”

“About what?” Ash won’t let it go. “I thought we made it clear, we want her, but she likes you, too. We won’t make her choose.”

“And she made it clear, she wants to leave New York. You and Ford are setting yourselves up for disappointment.”

“Better than to have no expectations and just fuck around.”

“Hey.” Ford struts into the foyer, shirtless, wearing a pair of gym shorts, his wet hair slicked back. “What’s the matter?”

I exhale and glance behind him hoping to see Bernadette, but she’s nowhere in sight.

“Where’s Bernie?” Ash asks him, tightening the towel around his waist.

“I just put her in bed. She’s exhausted.” He knits his eyebrows possessively from Ash standing there half-naked with me. “You didn’t tell her you were coming by. She hoped you would call or text her.”

Ash wasn’t lying.
