LOGINI take a deep breath before hitting the call button. My fingers feel stiff like they don’t want to move, like my body already knows this conversation won’t go well. But I have to do it. I have to check on Tamrin. Ever since I spoke to Celeste, I haven’t been able to shake the feeling that something is really wrong. Celeste tried to play it cool, but I saw it—plain as day. The fear. The panic. The way her whole body went stiff when I mentioned Trevor’s name. She knows something about him, something she wouldn’t tell me.
The phone rings twice before Tamrin picks up, and the moment I hear her voice, I know I’m too late.

Her mind might be fighting with her but her body wants me.I quickly sit up and go in foe the kill with a wet kiss. I plunge my tongue into her mou, making her moan as I fuck her mouth with mine.I tighten my arm around her waist, drawing her in until I can feel her heartbeat through the thin fabric between us.
