ASHER'S POV
Running and avoiding Reed has become one my favorite hobbies since I came to Stone Claw Academy. I'd been avoiding Reed for three days.
Three days of taking different routes to class, eating meals at odd hours, studying in hidden corners of the library where he wouldn't think to look. Three days of feeling his eyes on me anyway. It was damn exhausting.
The shower incident had shaken me more than I wanted to admit. The way my body had responded to him. The instant, undeniable arousal despite everything he'd done to me. The way I'd almost let him kiss me, would have let him if Marcus hadn't interrupted.
I was losing control, and I was losing it so damn fast. My suppressants were failing faster than ever. I had to inject again yesterday, barely four days after the last dose. At this rate, I'd run out in two weeks, and then what?
I pushed the thought away and focused on my physics textbook, trying to make sense of the equations blurring before my eyes.
