The door clicked shut and I turned around to see who it was. Jack.
He stood there, leaning against the door...against the fading light, his shoulders tight...his gaze different.
"Hey. I guess I owe Lyra an apology for behaving like an ass earlier but if I'm being perfectly honest I don't like that you are working with someone you used to sleep with. Someone who slept with Cole too..."
I turned and looked at him.
The air charged with the scent of rain-soaked earth and something darker- pheromones.
He didn't speak. Just crossed the room in three strides, his gaze burning into mine like a brand. Like he was laser focused on me. Like I was the only sun in his universe. It made me smile.
"Hi" I whispered when he was standing so close to me.
He didn't smile back.
When his hands found my waist, they trembled. Not with the usual hunger that melted my bones, but with... purpose. With narrowed focus.
