down. “Where are you going?”
His lips moved to hers and then down her neck. Taking one of her rosy lips into his mouth, she sighed at the contact and almost forgot why she was leaving in the first place. Ania knew that she wasn’t going to get any sleep if she stayed with him, not to mention the fact that she wasn’t supposed to be there at all.
“Sorry Ashton, but I really need to get to my own room and find some clothes to wear.”
“Will you come back?”
She said that she wouldn’t and even though she knew she had to leave, Ania couldn’t help but like how much he wanted her to stay. She could have made love to him all night and Ania was sure that it would be exactly what she would do if she stayed.
“No, I won’t be back before you go.”
“When can I see you again?”
His words stopped her and Ania wasn’t sure what there was to say. She had not taken him for the type, to get attached, but it was clear that he was all of a sudden. Ania wasn’t certain if she liked the idea of it or not.
“I doubt we will see each other for a while. Maybe after you finish up your classes and start training here, I will run into you again.”
Ashton didn’t like the way she was saying any of it. Ania didn’t seem too worried about a next time, but that was all he could think about. He was still wet with her pleasure but wanted more already.
“At least give me your number.”
“You have it.”
She was not going to give him an inch and Ashton found himself feeling a little awkward. He felt awkward because all he would think about was the next time and it was like she was already forgetting him. Had she not been there, felt the same thing that he had felt? But he had to stay strong, not wanting to look desperate like the girls he pitied when they clung to him so hard and all he was trying to do was shake them.
“Okay, I guess this is it then.”
Ania smiled up at him and took his breath away. As she went to her tiptoes to kiss him, he cupped her cheek and made the best of it. He kissed her with passion, hoping that she would feel his need and remember what he could do to her. She sighed as she pulled away, but there was still no promise of a next time before she turned to leave him.
Chapter 7
Ania didn’t see him again. She made sure that she was up and gone before he came out of his room. The last thing she wanted was for him to pull her back into his web. While he was handsome and far better and more giving in bed than she had imagined, at the end of the day he was trouble. Men like Ashton had a way to warp her mind to the point she couldn’t think and she knew that there was no way that it would come of anything. He liked her then, his body still throbbing from sex and his mind filled with thoughts of love that were really just his hormones talking. She was sure that he would forget about her and all Ania could hope for was the chance to forget about him.
Time went on and after a couple of weeks, she started to slowly forget about the running back that had stayed with her family. She had heard through her father talking about it that Ashton had gotten the contract. She didn’t ask any other questions, but she had the small wonder in the back of her mind if she would actually see him again. It had been a while, but she was still hoping she would. Even though Ania had pushed him away when he was talking of later, she regretted it almost as soon as he left Dallas.
He was due in town to look for a place to stay after he got out of school and Ania overheard her father saying something about it. Ania wondered why he hadn’t called her but then realized that he had done exactly what she knew he would do. He wasn’t worried about her in the same way she was worried about him. Ashton had most likely moved on.
She was more than a little surprised to hear that he had asked about her. Dave didn’t seem too keen on telling her too much and she didn’t like the way her father was looking at her, so Ania had
