And he was inescapable.
Looking at Helios, every painful little second of the time she spent with him flooded MJ’s mind.
Helios looking down on her when she skidded into the club on the first day of auditions—
Helios kissing her for the very first time in the club’s kitchen—
Helios making love to her in his bedroom—
Helios saying, “If you want to prove that you want me, then ride a bike.”
Because like James, Helios thought she was someone worthless, someone who needed to earn his love by spilling blood.
A little cry escaped her.
Swish.
Chapter Two
Helios Andreadis waswaiting outside her classroom when she came out. For a second, MJ remained rooted in her spot next to the door, hyperventilating silently as she tried to figure out what was the best thing to do. Ignore him? Greet him like everything could be normal between them?
But then Helios started to move, and in the next second, the power to decide was taken from her. Suddenly he was there, looming over her and dominating her world like an eclipse. He used to be the sun, but now he was the darkness.
Over her head, MJ heard Helios ask in an unusually strained voice, “Can we talk?”
Helios held his breath as he waited for MJ’s answer, and the tension that held his body captive only left at her tiny nod. Every cell in his being was hyper-aware of her proximity. She was like an addictive and incurable drug to his senses, and it took inhuman willpower not to reach out to her and make sure she was indeed real.
Theo,how he had missed her.
Helios walked slowly, making sure that MJ was with him every step of the way. A part of him was wary and vigilant, knowing that MJ had every reason to change her mind about wasting her time on him. She could bolt any moment, and he wanted to be ready if that happened.
He would not let her go this time, or at least not without putting up the best goddamn fight of his life. He was done waiting. He was at the end of his tether, and even if it was fucking selfish of him, Helios knew he would still do his damnedest to win MJ back. He had to. If there was one thing the two-week separation from MJ had taught him, it was that loving MJ was the only way for him to live.
When Helios stopped in front of a bench under one of the leafy trees lining the sidewalk, MJ awkwardly took a seat. She automatically scooted to the other end of the bench when she realized that Helios was going to sit next to her. Her childish reaction made her grimace, but she didn’t regret doing it. Any closer to Helios would be emotional suicide.
Around them, she could feel innumerable pairs of eyes darting towards her and Helios, could sense the way people tended to slow down when passing in front of them. The realization made MJ wince. She had a good idea about what they were thinking, especially after what Yuri had told her.Who the hell did she think she was, playing around with two of the hottest bikers in the racing world?
