ASHER
I barely made it back to my dorm, my legs were shaking so badly I had to lean against the wall in the hallway. My vision kept blurring at the edges and the heat coursing through my body was so intense I thought I might combust right there in the corridor.
The worst part was that Reed's words kept playing on repeat in my head.
I'm going to find you, I'm going to pin you down, and I'm going to fuck you until my body is satisfied.
Run.
I fumbled with my key card. It slipped from my sweaty fingers once, twice, before I managed to get the door open.
The second I was inside, I collapsed against the closed door and slid down to the floor.
My whole body was burning, sweat soaked through my clothes and there was a pain starting deep in my abdomen. Dull and manageable for now but growing stronger by the hour.
The heat was coming faster than it should.
I pulled out my phone with trembling hands and scrolled through my contacts.
Mom.
I stared at her name for a long moment.
