I couldn't find words to respond to Charles. His thumb traced the curve of my bottom lip before he released my throbbing wrists from his grip.
"Finished having second thoughts?" He mocked, tucking himself back into his pants and climbing off me.
I drew in several shaky breaths, trying to process what had just transpired between us.

Yet regardless of the impossibility, I needed to select my ally for the approaching conflict.
In the end, my choice had to be a Ezekiel family member.
Either Dominic or Charles.
I pressed my lips together and squeezed my trembling thighs shut. Charles collapsed onto his side of the mattress next to my head, throwing his forearm across his eyes.
