I hated how he was being unnecessarily mean to me. I came clean already. I could have easily gone behind his back and caused enough damage. In fact, I quite literally risked my brother's life by telling him the truth yet he was still sulking?
I scoffed angry at him and even angrier at myself because of how he affected me.
The worst part? I couldn't stop thinking about the way he kissed me the other night. Rough, punishing, like he wanted to break me apart just to remind me he could. My lips still tingled from it, and my body still betrayed me every time he came too close.
I pressed my palm against my stomach, trying to calm the dull ache that had nothing to do with my cramps and everything to do with Jace Romano. The man drove me insane.
Only he could do that.
