liked holding hands with him. When he finally let her hand go, she dug into the popcorn in order to have something to do with her hands.
    They went through the night with very little conversation. It was apparent to both of them that the date was a mistake. At the end of the night, he dropped her off at her door, but when he leaned in to kiss her, she turned away.
    "I told you I wasn't ready for this," Kaylee said apologetically. She looked into Brandon's eyes before bidding him goodnight and disappearing behind the door to her room. She didn't want to hurt Brandon, but he just wouldn't listen to reason.
    Not wanting to be alone, Kaylee knocked on the door that joined her room to Noah and Ashton's. When no one answered, she knocked again. She knew that they had the night off, but didn't think they would have gone out already.
    A very groggy Ashton answered the door, wearing only a pair of boxers. It was a sight that Kaylee was used to now, and didn't even bat an eyelash at. His normally spiky hair was matted against his head on one side, obviously where it had been resting on his pillow.
    "Sorry, didn't mean to wake you," Kaylee said, turning away to leave.
    Ashton caught her wrist. "Wait, what's up?"
    The touch of his hand made her think about the way he had caught her fall in the tub, and the fact that he had seen her naked. The blush rose in her cheeks and she looked away. "I just wanted to see what you guys were doing," she said, gently trying to break his hold on her wrist.
    "Noah isn't here, but you can come in and hang out with me if you want," he offered, pulling her into his room without waiting for an answer. If he noticed she was blushing, he didn't show it. But then again, he was probably too sleepy to notice much of anything. "Wasn't tonight your big date with Brandon?"
    Kaylee rolled her eyes. She hadn't intended to talk about it, but something about Ashton asking opened the floodgates. "You know, he was perfectly nice, he even brought me flowers. But the whole night, I was counting the seconds until I could get away from him," she sighed. "I told him that I wasn't ready yet, but he couldn't get it through his thick skull."
    Ashton collapsed onto his bed, pulling Kaylee down with him so that they were spooning. His eyes instantly closed, trying to go back to sleep, but still listening to what she was saying. She was going on and on about how Brandon just wouldn't take no for an answer.
    Ashton yawned. "Maybe it's not that you aren't ready, maybe you just don't want to be with him ."
    She stiffened in his arms. She knew exactly what he was implying, and she didn't want to go there. She didn't even want to think about going there. "When did you get to be so smart?" she asked.
    "I've always been smart, baby." He chuckled, half asleep.
    "And why are you being so nice to me?" She yawned deeply and felt her whole body relax. The tension began to drain away, and she was suddenly so very tired she could barely keep her eyes open.
    His hand covered her mouth. "I'm not fully functioning. Just enjoy it and quit complaining."
    Kaylee did just what she was told, which wasn't hard since she had already fallen asleep in Ashton's arms. He joined her in Dreamland shortly after that, enjoying the comfort of the bed and the woman next to him.

Chapter 7

    K aylee rolled over to face Ashton. She felt his arms tight around her waist. She ran her hands through the back of his hair, and softly brushed her lips against his. As their lips touched, a thousand little shocks ran through her body.
    He pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. Their tongues dueled passionately. Ashton rolled their bodies together so that he was on top of her. His hands were no longer on her cheeks, they were making their way to the bottom of her shirt. His fingers sought out the velvetysoft skinon her stomach, causing her breath to catch.
    Kaylee's head fell back in pleasure, and Ashton took advantage of the situation by attacking her neck with his lips. He
