“Don’t you fucking dare,” Tristian warned in a dominant tone, knowing I was about to run.
I did.
I ran out of that party, scared of the consequences of his rash decision.
I barely made it out the door before he gripped my wrist, yanking me against his hard chest.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
I lost it.
Suddenly pissed.
Pushing him, I roared, “Isn’t it obvious? Away from you!”
He jerked back as his face blanched with a hurtful expression.
“How could you do that? How could you kiss me in front of everyone?”
“What’s the big deal? It’s just a game.”
“It’s not just a game, Tristian! None of this is a game to me! If my family finds out you kissed me, I’ll be lucky if they ever let me leave the house again.”
The realization hit him, and he reached for me. “Fuck, kitten, I wasn’t thinking. Or maybe I was, and I just don’t care what they want anymore.”
“You don’t care that they’ll pull me right out of school?”
“Of course, I do, but I’m over hiding. What’s the worst that could happen if they find out about us?”
“Tristian, you don’t know what you’re saying.”
“Actually, I do.”
“Is it worth risking me not being in your life? Maybe nothing will happen to you. You’ll get a slap on the hand, and that’ll be the end of it. However, for me… I know that they’ll do whatever they can in their power to keep me away from you.”
“Why am I so bad?”
“You’re a Hawkins. That’s all that matters to them.”
“So what, Belle? What’s your solution? Continue pretending that I’m not sleeping in your bed almost every night?”
“I don’t know what the right or wrong answer is, but what I do know is I don’t want to lose you to them. And what you just did in there jeopardized everything between us, Tristian.”
“You know what I want.”
“Tristi—”
“You, kitten. I want you! In public. In private.” He gripped the sides of my face, staring deep into my eyes. “Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow. That’s what I want.”
“I’m sorry. I don’t know if we can ever have that.”
“The fuck we can’t! How do we know if we don’t try?”
“What if we come clean and that’s the end of it? That’s the end of us?”
“I don’t give a shit anymore. I’ll claim you in front of our school, in front of this whole damn town if I have to! You’re mine! Our families are just going to have to accept that. I don’t give a flying fuck about their bullshit rivalry that has nothing to do with us.”
“You don’t know what you’re saying. What about your grandfather? Rumor has it you’re already on thin ice with him.”
