down the hall?”

“I’m fine, and besides you can’t sleep all night in that chair. You’ll be hurting in the morning, and

we have a 10 hour drive to Michigan,” she said.

“I’m following the doctor’s orders, Miss Lane, so deal with it. You’re not getting your way with

this one.”

“Now, you’re making me feel bad. At least come sleep in the bed.”

My eyes widened. Was she serious? “I don’t think that’s a good idea, Ellery.”

“Why not? We’re friends. Peyton and I sleep in the same bed when we have sleepovers, and my

bed is tiny compared to this one. You have your own side way over there,” she pointed. “If you don’t,

then I’m leaving, and you know I will.”

“You’re not going anywhere, and I’m not sleeping in that bed,” I said.

She threw the covers back, got out of bed, and started to put on her yoga pants. I jumped up from

the chair and grabbed her arm. “Stop it, Ellery, you need your rest,” my voice was angry.

I took in a long sharp breath, “Fine, I’ll sleep in the bed, just please get back in it and leave those

pants on.” She smiled at me and climbed back into bed. I walked to the other side, climbed in, and

turned the other way. Don’t get me wrong, I want to sleep in the same bed as her. In fact, I want to do

a lot of things with her in bed, but I’ll be damned if I ruin this relationship that we have right now. I

closed my eyes and whispered to her, “You are the most stubborn and defiant person that I’ve ever

known, Ellery Lane.”

“So I’ve been told, Mr. Black, good night.”

“Good night, Ellery,” I smiled as I drifted off into a deep sleep.

Chapter 10

I opened my eyes, and the first thing I saw was Ellery. She was lying on her side and facing me. I

laid there for a moment, staring at her and watching her as she slept. I still needed to pack a few

things, and I wanted to make her breakfast before we head out. I carefully got out of bed, trying not to

wake her. As I made my way to the door, I heard her stir beneath the sheets. I turned around and

looked at her, still sleeping peacefully, as I walked to my room. I took a shower and finished packing

the little bit that I had left. As I made my way to the kitchen, my phone started ringing. I looked at it,

and Ashlyn’s name appeared. She was the last person that I wanted to talk to, especially now with

Ellery right upstairs. I answered and tried to make it as short as possible.

“Ashlyn, I can’t talk right now; I’m in the middle of something,” I said.

“I need to see you, Connor, and I need to see you now.”

“That’s too bad, Ashlyn; I have to go out-of-town for a few days on business.”

“I’ll come over right now, and I can send you off feeling really good.”

“No, you can’t; I don’t have time. Don’t you dare come over here; I’m leaving. I’ll call you as soon

as I get back,” I yelled.

“Connor, it seems like it’s been forever, and I’m really getting pissed off,” she whined.

I changed my tone with her because I needed to get her off the phone before Ellery came

downstairs. “I know it’s been a while, but I can’t help that; I’ve been busy.”

“Does this have anything to do with that blonde bitch you’ve been with?”

“No, she has nothing to do with it. I’ve been working. I softened my tone with her, “Ashlyn, we’ll

get together as soon as I get back.”

“Promise me, Connor,” she said.

“I promise. I’m going to send an envelope over with Denny; I’ll talk to you soon.”

I can guarantee that’s one promise that I have no intention of keeping. I needed to tell her what she

wanted to hear to get her off the phone, and I couldn’t risk Ellery hearing me.

Breakfast was almost ready, so I headed up the stairs to see if she was awake yet. I heard the water

running in the bathroom, so I knocked on the door. I told Ellery to make sure the water wasn’t too hot.

Somehow, I didn’t believe her because she had a really bad habit of never listening to anyone. I

leaned up against the wall and waited for her to come out. I heard the shower turn off, and a moment

later, Ellery opened the door and jumped.

“Shit, Connor; you scared me,” she said.

Seeing her standing there in nothing but a towel was the most beautiful sight that I’ve ever seen.

Her skin was still damp from the shower; her hair wet and wavy, and the short towel was barely

covering her perfectly shaped body. Her legs were long, lean, and perfectly sculpted. She stood there

staring at me.

“I’m sorry; I just wanted to make sure you didn’t take too hot of a shower. I didn’t want you getting

dizzy and pass out again. You do have a habit of not listening to anybody,” I said with a smile.

She rolled her eyes at me and said ouch. “See, I told you not to roll your eye at me, and you didn’t

listen!” I yelled as I walked down the hallway. She smiled at me as she
