He looked down at me, taking in my appearance with a calculating expression before backing away. I didn’t miss the way his eyes flashed while he studied me. Was it out of anger or lust? I propped myself up on my elbows so I could watch him. He stood at the edge of the bed,…

“Do you have any idea how insane I went last night?” he asked. “I was on the brink of murdering everyone within a fucking ten-mile radius! “I thought you’d been taken, Doe. I thought someone had stolen you from me and was torturing you in a basement somewhere while you cried out for me. That…

I could already feel the same humiliation and devastation I experienced yesterday start to creep up my chest again. Knowing it was ultimately a losing battle, I sighed and dropped my face into my hands. “I know you like Clara.” “What?” Ace asked, staring at me with a bemused look. I swallowed. “I know you’re…
