What did I do?She thought to herself while trying not to have a panic attack.

Her mind felt like a muddled mess as she felt a bit groggy, almost as if she had a hangover.

She lay there completely still, trying to remember anything that would have led to her ending up in Nails’ bed and not hers when it was right next door.

She remembered being at the club, and then she and Nails left together.But after that, things started to get a little blurry.

She felt Nails stir behind her, his arm giving her waist a little squeeze.

“Morning,” he said, his voice full of sleep.But damn, did it sound sexy as hell.

No!Don’t go there.You need answers, she told herself.

“What happened last night?”she asked nervously.

“You don’t remember?”

“Obviously, not if I’m asking you.”

“Somebody drugged you.”His voice was steady, but there was an edge to it.

The words landed like a punch to her gut.“What?”she asked, though she had heard him perfectly.“Are you sure?”

“We’re pretty sure that is what happened, considering the symptoms you were experiencing and your behavior.”

Her stomach twisted.Who in the hell would have drugged her?And how?All she had to drink was her…

“My water bottle,” she said out loud.

“What about your water bottle?”he asked.

“That was the only thing that I drank out of last night.And when I was getting my things out of my locker, my water bottle wasn’t in there where I thought I had left it.”

“Where was it?”

“I found it sitting under the bench in front of the lockers.I just assumed I had set it down and had forgotten about it.Who would’ve done that, and when?”

“That’s what we’re going to find out,” he said.And the way he saidwemade her chest tighten.

But then she thought about what Nails said about her symptoms and behavior.

“What did you mean when you said that you guys could tell I had been drugged because of my behavior?”

When he hesitated, she knew it couldn’t be anything good.

“At least tell me that I didn’t embarrass myself.”

His laugh rumbled against her back.“If I did that, I would probably be lying.”

She winced.“How bad was it?”

“Well, let’s just say there was mention of you riding me like a mechanical bull, climbing me like a jungle gym, and having me as dessert with sprinkles.

“Kill me, now,” she whispered as she rolled onto her back and peeked up at him.He was lying on his side, propped up on his elbow.His hair was sticking up in all different directions, and his eyes still looked heavy with sleep.But that damn sexy smile of his was fully awake.

“You also tried taking my shirt off in the middle of the street and kept sucking on my neck as I carried you back home.”He turned his head and pointed to the little bruised area on his neck.

Riley gasped.“I did that?”
