ATHENA
Warmth.
That's the first thing I feel.
Soft sheets. The scent of fresh linen. A deep musk lingering in the air, cedarwood and something...oddly familiar.
My brows pull together as my body stretches slowly, reluctantly, like it doesn't want to leave the comfort it's found.
Pulling the warm bed sheets closer, I throw my leg over a pillow when realization hits me like a damn train.
Wait.
My eyes shoot open.
This isn't my bed.
The ceiling is higher, the light brighter. The blankets are thicker, softer, almost cloudlike. My heart slams against my ribs.
Where the hell am I?
Did I go clubbing and leave with a stranger?
I haven't gone clubbing in years!
I sit up fast and immediately regret it. My head spins, my hair tumbling over my shoulders in a wild mess.
My son!
My gaze whips around the room, my breath catching and my heart beating faster and faster.
Then I remember.
The party. Speeches. Everyone getting together. Falling asleep on the couch with Rayen. The exhaustion. The way my body gave out before I could even argue.
Alex went up to get the keys when I decided to wait from the couch.
I must have fallen asleep.
But why didn't Alex wake me up?
His speech replays in my mind on a loop as I try to figure out why he has been behaving in such a strange way.
Is Ariana threatening him to be nice to me? Or is it another deal with Giana?
Because Alexander King is not the type of person who would say such things willingly.
But it doesn't matter because it all meant nothing anyway!
A quiet breath escapes me, and my heartbeat slowly begins to settle.
The panic fades, replaced with a different sort of unease, one that comes from being in his space.
His room. His bed.
It's strange.
Too intimate.
