Beautiful Nightmares (The Asylum Trilogy) (14 page)

Things between us were so casual. So natural. Now, I knew that out relationship was going to shift from casual to complicated.

Edward’s hands slid out of my hair and he wrapped me up in his muscular arms, holding me closer to him. His lips rested against my bare shoulder. “I don’t know,” he says into my skin. The hot breath leaving his mouth sets my skin on fire all over again. “It just felt right.”

I wanted to scream. I wanted to slug him in the arm and ask him how we’d ever go back to normal after a kiss like that. More than anything I felt like he’d just ruined our friendship forever.
