pressing my body closer to his.
    Dear Lord, I was going to be in so much trouble in the morning, but I didn't care. I never could wait for anything and tonight was no exception. Orion had turned me on more that night than any guy had ever done and I longed to feel him in an intimate way. I thought about how wrong it was that we were doing this with Damian out of town and Crystal home sick. But no matter how much I tried to talk myself out of it, being in his car at that moment, kissing him...it just felt so right.
    "My place, then?" Orion suggested, breathlessly.

CHAPTER FIVE

    I LAUGHED LOUDLY at something Orion had just said as we stumbled up the stairs to Orion's apartment. Man, I was drunk! I had glints of guilt for doing this behind Damian's back, but they were always engulfed by a swarm of lust that tugged at the chords between my brain and my heart. Orion looked like he was waging an inner battle as well by the time we got to his apartment door.
    My chain of thought was interrupted by lust and I looked at him with smoldering eyes, before pulling him into another kiss. He kissed me back, but he seemed to hesitate a bit. He soon caught up to speed with me and began kissing me back just as fiercely.
    After a moment, though, he pushed me away gently and stared deep into my eyes. He almost looked like a hurt dog.
    "As much as I'd love to continue this and try out some of the other interesting things you might have planned," he said, "I just can't do it. Not with you being, well, drunk."
    "What? No I'm not," I lied, then pulled on his neck to kiss him again.
    He gently pushed me away again. "Yes, you are. And maybe if things were different," he said.
    I nodded and then started to fall. He grabbed me quickly before I hit the floor and began laughing at me a bit, to which I joined in until we were both cramping with laughter.
    "C'mon, let's get you inside," he said.

    I woke up and groaned. I took the pillow from under my head, and put it over my face. My head was throbbing and I felt really groggy.
    "Madison, babe, you've got to wake up."
    "Nope...don't wanna," I muttered, waving my hand to get Orion to leave me alone.
    "Come on, Mad."
    I ignored him for a few minutes, then finally I looked up at Orion's face. My hands flew to my body, but I relaxed when I felt that I had a sweater over my dress.
    "Do I even wanna know what happened last night?" I moaned, holding my aching head in my hands.
    "Maybe not," Orion advised me. "It was nothing serious, if that's what you're worried about. I called your work for you to tell them that you weren't feeling well." I looked at him to see him smiling. "They said that it was about time."
    "Oh God," I said, falling onto my side on the bed and using my arm to hide my smile. Orion laughed. Eventually, I uncovered my face and saw he was holding a glass of water with a couple of pills.
    "This will hopefully help with the headache," Orion said, noticing the look on my face. I swallowed them and finished the water in four big gulps. "I also texted Andy, and told him you had spent the night here."
    "Oh boy, I bet he got the wrong idea," I muttered.
    "Don't worry about it. I explained that you were resting here because you were sick, so I think he'll understand," Orion said. "Now, my lovely Madison, you've got the day off. Whatcha wanna do?"
    "Well...First, I need to go home and change my clothes," I suggested. Mom would be home soon, too, and I wanted to be there when she got home, if only to avoid a lot of nosy questions about my "illness" last night.
    "Good idea," Orion said.
    He drove to my place and entertained himself by playing a video game while I took a quick shower and changed into a pair of jeans and a black hoodie. Today was going to be awkward. While I remembered most everything about last night, I didn't want to think about what Orion had said before I had fallen asleep. As long as I was stuck with Damian, nothing was going to happen between Orion and me. Just thinking about what
