“Hazel—”
I threw up my hands, making a concentrated effort to lower my voice, “The reason for this doesn’t excuse what you’ve done. I’ll go because it’s important to you.” He was finally including me in this aspect of his life. Yet the joy I thought I’d feel was dampened by the way he went about it. And a small part that had hoped he canceled my date out of his desire for me fizzled fast.
I pulled his jacket tighter around my shoulder as the cold winter wind whipped past me. I needed some time to myself right now even if it was only boarding the jet a few minutes before him.
With a heavy sigh my heart ached. I wasn’t just mad at him right now. I was disappointed, and that was so much worse.
CHAPTER 13
Jareth
Settled on my luxury jet ready for takeoff, Hazel and I still hadn’t spoken. She kept her green gaze fixated on the airport buildings around us.
I’d really fucked up.
Anger still raged through me that she had agreed to a date with someone else. This thing with Hazel was throwing me off my game. My previously unflappable mind was acting in ways I could barely process nevermind understand.
My phone buzzed with an incoming text.
JESS
Did you talk to her yet? It’s not up to you to decide for both of you.
JARETH
This is none of your concern.
JESS
Fuck that. And you still haven’t thanked me yet.
JARETH
For what?
JESS
I knew finding out she had a date would light a fire under your ass. Please tell me you’re taking her somewhere warm so you two can lay on the beach naked together.
JARETH
She’s sitting right next to me.
JESS
And she’s clearly not talking to you if you’re talking to me.
JARETH
It’s complicated.
JESS
It’s not. Even James said you shouldn’t be such a pussy.
JARETH
Tell Alden I can figure out a way to extend our contract.
