Turning on my heel, I stride out of the living room, and hurry down the hall. Reaching the front door, he takes my wrist again, and pulls me back to him.
“Jaxon—”
“Here.” He places the key to his Ferrari in my hand.
“Why?”
“To ensure you’ll come back to me.”
Without exchanging another glance, I take back my pride, and step into the night.
Somehow, I manage to take advantage and stay out for over an hour, driving around aimlessly. After all, I’m on the other side of the country. I have no friends here, and surely no family.
Not having the slightest clue on where to go to ease my mind, I settle on the beach just a few miles away.
There’s a calming light from the moon illuminating the waves as they crash violently against the shore. It’s as if they’re reading my mind, and feeling my turmoil, how lost I’ve become.
I’ve never felt so alone.

After arriving backto Mr. Edward’s house, my head is still spinning, and I feel so out of place. Pushing open the front door, I make my way inside, and the dull silence has my heart accelerating.
My heels click against the wooden floor in the living room, and Jaxon is nowhere in sight.
Unexpectedly, I’m grabbed from behind and pushed up against the wall. Taking in the heat behind Jaxon’s eyes, something has changed. The intensity of his stare has me captivated, dazed. Struggling against his chest, he holds me tighter.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m not sure,” he breathes.
And his lips crush against mine.
CHAPTERTHIRTEEN
Before I can even make sense of it, I’m kissing him back with urgency. I’ve never been kissed like this before. It feels like a surging tide of warmth, the opening of my soul. My body feels as if it’s levitating off the floor, and I’m floating in midair. Fireworks are exploding, bursting into millions of pieces right at the brink of our lips.
Nothing else exists.
Nothing else matters.
Jaxon groans, bringing me closer, and every inch of my body dissolves against his.I breathe in his heady cologne, shampoo, and aftershave, everything that makes him,him.
He grabs the back of my neck, and presses his fingertips into my skin. I am enraptured at how good this feels, how right this feels.
His arms circle around me, forcing me closer, and I’m on fire against his touch.
Our lips part, and he lightly cups my face with his hand. “Don’t leave.”
My lips quiver, and he stares passionately into my eyes. Gently brushing my cheek with his thumb, he leans closer.
“Stay with me.”
How could I not?
And he presses his lips to mine once more. Tilting his head, he deepens the kiss, tracing his hand down my spine. Jaxon emits dominance, firmly massaging my tongue with his. I cling to him, as if he’s the only solid thing in my world.
Jaxon scoops his arm under my legs, lifting me from the floor, as he walks us across the room. Placing my body onto the couch, he hovers over me.
