I had to make a decision to break the tension, and one thing was clear: I could never be with Miles. If I had to choose between the two, it would only be Ashton.
I had almost married Logan. There was no way I'd break up with him only to end up with his brother Instead. "Miles, I'm tired," I finally said.
Miles's grip ontightened briefly before he reluctantly let go.

"Putdown," I said, clutching his shirt.
"If you want him to give up, stay quiet,” he whispered.
Recalling Miles's earlier words, I stayed still. I could be in a complicated relationship with anyone, but not Miles. To me, he was like a brother-like family.
I had never seen him romantically, not even once. I valued our relationship too much to ruin it.
Miles wasn't the type to express love openly or chase someone persistently. If he believed I had feelings for someone else-someone other than Logan-he would likely let go.
In the end, I let Ashton carryinto the hotel lobby. He didn't putdown until we reached the door of my room.

"How about you? Do you like me?" Ashton asked, his tone serious.
I was taken aback for a moment, then shook my head. "No, I don't." 11. 1411.

Still, I explained. "Ashton, I don't want a man who attracts other women Cith because. don't like fighting over my man." "Alright," he replied calmly.
I laughed. "What do you mean by 'alright'?" He appeared completely unbothered. "It means I understand.”
His response leftpuzzled, but I didn't dwell on it. My hand slid down to the sharp lines of his jaw before resting on his shoulder. "Ashton, don't seduce me, and don't be too nice to me."
With that, I withdrew my hand and stepped back. But before I couldn move further, Ashton wrapped his arm around my waist, pullingcloser. "Whether I like you or pursue you is my choice. You're free to respond however you want, but don't try to control me." Huh? His words leftstunned. He likedbut didn't wantto interfere? "So, what you're saying is that you'll keep flirting withand trying to seduce me?" I asked directly.
