He was quiet for a moment before he spoke. "There's an empty bedroom across the hallway. You need some sleep before going out tonight."

A tingle of electricity shot through her as his fingers grazed her back. She froze briefly, suspecting he was knocking her out again so she couldn't run off and do something stupid like she fully planned to do.

Cursing him under her breath, Ashley rose and pulled on enough clothing not to be embarrassed if someone spotted her crossing the hall. Without another word to him, she left.

Only when the door was locked and she was curled up in her bed alone did she let emotion overwhelm her. Tortured by his scent on her skin and the yearning for him burning her raw from the inside out, she began to cry and covered her head with a pillow to block the early morning light.

She was already hurting, and Jonny hadn't even tried to destroy her heart yet.
