"I'll wait to inflict my carnage and…to fuck you until your eyes roll back in that pretty skull of yours, like you're a demon possessed. Possessed by me and my cock."
"Good luck."
He rolls his neck, and I hear his bones crack, easing the ache of his muscles. Whoever he is, he must be strong on top of the fact the man gives off the air of danger. I'm so used to being around it that I’ve given up, letting it consume me if that is what it wants. I remember what Veronica said about the one that doesn't exist. He comes and goes as he pleases, and no one can stop him.
"Until next time, it's a date. One that you will enjoy or…not. It all depends."
"On what exactly?"
"How much you are willing to take. How much you can handle because, like it or not, I'm not going anywhere, Jesse. I'll haunt you because I choose you."
"What if I don't want to be chosen," I say to his back.
He heads to the door and turns his neck, the beak of the mask hiding his eyes.
"It doesn't matter, Jesse. You will understand when the time comes. You will understand there isn't a choice." Then he walks out, leaving me more confused and out of control.
CHAPTER37
Reid
It’s done. Warren is dead. The Order sent the alert, and his parents have been notified. He killed himself. He was sent home with enough drugs to make any sane person go crazy with suicidal thoughts, and the bastard hung himself. His eyes were sunken, bulging out of his head.
“The trash has been taken out,” Dravin says.
“Does Gia know?”
He nods. “She is relieved and has accepted it.”
“Does she know the truth?”
I’m asking whether she knows he killed himself slowly, painfully, and tragically.
“She suspects but not the details. I wanted to spare her from knowing more. The barista was enough to know what I would do for her. She doesn’t have to look over her shoulder and wonder. His parents will announce it to the school once all the preparations are made to bury him. How about you? How are you holding up?”
Like I want to commit murder. I’m still working on the details for Jess. She needs to heal. Valen understands where they both stand, knowing why Jess has done what she has done. The scrubbing in the shower. The way I found her when she collapsed in my arms. The puzzle pieces are all coming together. I just hope she can handle what I have planned for her. I have never tried to win a girl’s heart before, but she’s worth it. I just wish I had known that sooner.
I turn off the faucet and shake my hands in the sink, hearing Dravin flush the toilet. I’m drying my hands when I hear voices in the hallway, but the class just outside isn’t over yet.
I furrow my brows and turn to see Dravin wash and dry his hands, and then I hear it again, the voice louder this time.
What the fuck?
I open the door, and people are taking pictures and recording with their cell phones, aiming toward the wall. I walk up to it and see it dripping with red paint and then read: ARE YOU INSANE LIKE ME?
I see the classroom door open, and Jess walks out, followed by the bastard I want to rip into pieces as he stares at the wall.
“Did you?” Dravin asks.
I shake my head. “No, I--”
“Yo!” Valen shouts, interrupting me as he strides up to us with a smirk on his face, but my attention is held by the woman walking in front of me.
Jess lifts her head, and our eyes lock. She looks edible in her comfy sweater and signature leggings. I grin, and she smiles.
I waited for her so I could make sure the bastard didn’t corner her, but I didn’t want him to catch on.
When she walks up to me, I smile wide, showing all my straight teeth, and slide my hands around her waist, giving her a peck on her delectable lips. I close my eyes and breathe in her sweet scent.
