JANE

“El jefe is back,” Emily whispered at my door at exactly 10 in the morning.

“Really?” I sprang up from the dressing chair before I could stop myself. I cleared my throat and forced my shoulders to relax, pretending I hadn’t reacted like a teenager hearing her crush’s name.

I was pretty sure she knew everything going on. She was quiet, observant, always pretending not to notice things. The last thing I needed was for her to think I was jumping with excitement just because her jefe had fucked me once.

“Okay. Thanks,” I muttered, turning back to the mirror as if I didn’t care.

I wandered toward the table and ran my fingers along the book rack, pretending to focus on what I’d read next and maybe discuss with Quinn later. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that part of him - the part that didn’t involve guns or swearing - the part where he actually had opinions like a normal human being.

When it felt like he was taking too long to show up, I stepped out of the room.

    QUINNShe twisted her wrists in my grip but I still didn't let go."My mother. She was nothing like any other woman I know. She was quiet, calm almost as if scared to use her words. I often wondered how she agreed to marry my papa. She was so kind it often irritated me. I admired her, of course - she was so beautiful, I always thought she's what angels are described to look like. But she was weak," my fists tightened around her wrists and her breath shuddered. "One day she went to stay in the hospital for a whole week and ever since then she's never been strong. She was diagnosed with something I had no idea of. That night, I pushed her bedroom door open to find the man. He was the tallest thing I ever saw compared to my little height. His back was turned to me. He was staring at her, gun cocked, when I came in.Without thinking, I flung myself at him. I had succeeded in hitting the weapon from his hand. That's when he stabbed me. I sat there on the ground and watched him press the

    QUINNI watched her eyes flicker -left, right, unfocused.She wasn’t just thinking.She was choosing which lie to feed me.“I got into a fight with some girl,” she said, voice too light for the weight in her eyes. “It was pretty bad at the time.”“We can do this all day, Lucia,” I whispered. "Or you can go straight to the true story."Her breath shuddered. “I… I’m not sure if I want to talk about it, Quinn.”“It’s about your dad, isn’t it?”Her face stiffened - then all the fight melted out of her shoulders with a single sigh of defeat.“I was pushed by a man,” she said quietly, drawing her knees to her chest. “I fell hard against the glass.”My jaw tightened. “Who was he?”She lifted her gaze to mine.“The man who murdered my father.”All I did was stare.“My parents had just split. I wasn’t handling it well. I was always with my dad. He worked a lot - like twenty-four seven. But he never missed taking me to the night park for ice cream. Or anything I wanted at all."A small, broken

    JANE Two days and Anika's words still hung around my head like a fog. Guilt wasn't enough to describe what I felt. I felt terrible and hated myself. But nothing has really happened between Diego and I. It was just a kiss.Maybe twice. We kissed twice and it hasn't been more than that.I'd make sure it never gets more than that. I held the white sheet tight over my chest as I turned on the bed to see Quinn. He was lying asleep on his chest naked. The sheets I'd been hogging dragged so far down his body that only a sliver still covered the curve of his ass. My eyes drifted, slow, without control, following the dip of his waist and climbing the long, sculpted line of his back.His skin was rich as ever, pale gold under the morning light, smooth and taut over muscle. Not too bulky, but carved - each muscle rising and falling like soft ridges beneath silk. His shoulder blades were strong and defined, his spine a perfect line leading into the tapered V of his lower back. He looked like s

    JANE I don't love him. Just because we fucked doesn't mean I like him. I just couldn't help myself. That's all. I still despised him He leaned into me as I tried sliding the shower door open, his breath brushing the shell of my ear.“Sure you can walk?” I could almost hear him smirking as he asked.A blurred smile tugs at my lips, "Don't flatter yourself, Quinn," I went ahead to take a step only to find my hand struggling to grasp the rim of the door for support as my legs slid across the wet floor one before the other.Quinn grabs me from behind, catching me gently. He lifts me with ridiculous ease, like I weighed nothing, into his arms and reached for the towel.I buried my head in his heartbeat as he carried me.A single shift of his shoulder and I found myself dropping into the soft dip of the mattress.He turned and I listened to his footsteps, then the sound of the wardrobe pulling open. "Guess, I'ma go get us some dessert.""I've not even eaten," I murmured."Sure?" He lau

    DIEGOI dropped my briefcase onto the table, harder than I meant to, and sank into the chair. My breath was still uneven, my pulse refusing to settle. I yanked my tie loose and pushed my hand back through my hair.But no matter what I did, her image stayed with me.Lucia - standing there in that thin, almost transparent singlet… her skin glowing under the hallway light, her glassy eyes… the details of her body like a bruise in my mind, impossible to ignore and sure to leave a scar.And Quinn behind her.Why was he in there with her?Why was she half dressed?Why did she look… cornered?A knot twisted deeper into my stomach and I dragged off my jacket while struggling to force my breathing down to something normal. But every attempt to rationalize only made something furious toil tighter in my chest.If Quinn was hurting her, if he was... Quinn wasn't that kind of man. But if I ever found out he forced himself on her in any way…I wasn’t sure what I would do to him. But I knew it'll b
