“Jessica, who do you owe?”
“I said I’ve got it.”
“I’m going to kill whoever fucking touched you,” he roared, his deep voice echoing off the walls. “Who is he?”
I stared into his outraged eyes and calmly said, “Not someone I’ll ever talk to you about.”
He raked his hands through his hair, his jaw popping with the pressure he was putting on it.
I uncrossed my legs and slid off the dresser, pressing my hand to his chest to push him back so I could slip past him.
“Where are you going?” he demanded when I headed toward the window where I’d left my bag.
I didn’t look back. I couldn’t. “It was a mistake to come here.”
I didn’t get halfway before I was turned and brought face to face with the most beautiful, destructive man. “Say that again.”
“You know my life, Kieran. You know this is something I refuse to tell you about. So don’t demand to know about it now.”
“Have you seen yourself?” he asked through gritted teeth. “Jesus, Jessica.”
Kieran’s mouth came down on mine, hard and furious and full of passion.
And it was everything I’d needed since I’d set foot in that godforsaken warehouse.
“Do you have any idea what you mean to me?” he asked against my lips. “What I would do for you?”
Give me control.
Abandon his list.
Fight my demons.
Kill AJ.
But would he let me go?
When the time came, would he make it all go away?
I nearly crumbled under the wave of emotions that crashed through me from our next kiss.
“What if I want to belong to you?” The words were out before I realized I was thinking them.
They were effortless. And they were so, so wrong.
Kieran stilled against me and slowly pulled back.
I belong to no man.
I belong to no man.
I belong—
My heart skipped painfully when his stunned eyes met mine, and I knew without a doubt I didn’t want to belong to him.
I already did.
And that thought terrified me more than falling in love with him did.
