I had made it through half the movie before I couldn’t take it anymore. One more giggle from that girl and I would scream. My fingers itched to text him, to call him, to dosomethingthat would make him notice how far I was willing to go.

I grabbed a shirt, ready to go to bed and try to forget about Aiden, even though I knew I couldn’t. I could feel it—the way I had pushed him to the edge, the teasing spark that made him hesitate, struggle... and yet he was still reluctant to jump.

The door opened and slammed behind me. A body hit mine—hard—pulling me back into a chest that was all muscle and heat. A hand clamped over my mouth as we spun together.

“What the fuck do you think you were doing with Hero?”

“Aiden,” I breathed, wiggling against him. “Let me go.”

“No, tell me what the fuck you were doing.”

“Cuddling. What do you care? You’re here with someone. Who I sit with is none of your concern.”

“It is when it’s Hero, or anyone else in the pack for that matter.”

“Why? Because you know Hero would fuck me and not give a shit about the consequences?”

“Yeah, that’s exactly why.”

“Just because you’re scared of my brother doesn’t mean others are.”

“I’m not scared of him. I respect him. He has specifically asked us all to leave you alone and I’ve already fucked that up.”

“Then go back to your date, because I would like to invite Hero back to disrespect my body. There’s a lot a man can do even without his dick.”

His arm around me tightened, pulling me closer. I could feel his warm breath on my neck, his breathing unsteady now.

He pushed until my face pressed against the door, and his cock pressed hard against me.

“You are a sick little psycho, Evie. You want someone else fucking you in here while I’m out there on a date?”

“Maybe. At least maybe you would learn your lesson.”

“You want me jealous Hero could get to touch you instead?”

“You made your choice when you showed up with someone tonight. Why shouldn’t I give Hero a chance?”

“Because you want to destroy my life, not his. You think you’re the only one who gets to push people to the edge? Did you ever think I could push back? Ruin your life in other ways?”

I grinned. “You couldn’t ruin my life even if you tried. What are you going to do? Tell Rook about the photos?” My stomach flipped, nervous to even bring it up. “Try to drag me into the woodsand fuck me without anyone knowing it was you? Maybe swing by a cemetery and mess around?”

“Nobody fucked you in the woods.”

My smile only grew. Happy he finally admitted to it.

“What am I going to do? I’m already doing it. It’s going to be hard to make anyone believe you when I’m with another girl all night. When I tell them the little psycho girl who is a master at computers photoshopped the photos.”

“You wouldn’t.”

“Did you really think I would sit back and take this? That I wouldn’t come up with my own plan? Should I not make you listen to me with someone else all night?” He spun me around to face him now, grinning. “Why not?”

“You thinkIwould get cozy in bed and not even worry about you across the hall fucking someone else? You think I wouldn’t barge in and scare her off?”

He laughed now, moving me to my bed and pushing me back. I fell with a smile, loving the way he got angry at his own failed plan of bringing her home—the way he took control.

“Telling me your plan was such a bad choice, Psycho.”

“And why’s that?”
