I had no idea what he was planning, and honestly it wasn't something I needed to figure out. I never intended to wait around for someone else to fight my battles. Whatever came next, I would handle it myself. Everyone else was simply there as backup.
Since I had to be in J City the following morning, I turned in early. But sleep absolutely refused to come. I lay in the dark staring at the ceiling with my mind running laps that just would not slow down no matter what I tried.
Ashton noticed. He shifted closer and pulled me into his arms. "We could always make the night worthwhile."
I stared at the ceiling, completely speechless.
There is a very significant difference between making the night worthwhile and doing it just once.
"Ashton, I have an early start tomorrow morning. I genuinely don't have the energy for this." I turned over so my back was to him and shut my eyes firmly.
