Semua Bab Kiss Me Liar: Bab 71 - Bab 80

ZEUSI held my breath without meaning to. Did he just say he wanted to surrender himself to me? My heart thudded wildly in my chest, each beat louder than the last. The flirtatious gleam in his dark brown eyes played dirty, holding me captive with their intensity.Jay burst into a loud cheer. “Such a Romeo! NOW KISS! DEEP AND WILD!”My face burned. Fuck! I'd completely forgotten that Jay and Scott were still here. Embarrassment coursed through me like fire. I tore my gaze away from Odin, my voice tight. “I’m tired. I’m going to sleep early,” I muttered, getting up so quickly that my chair nearly toppled over.Jay’s laughter echoed behind me as I hurried toward the bedroom. “He’s so shy!” Jay teased, grinning at Odin. “I was really looking forward to daring him into something naughty...”Scott shook his head, giving Jay a disapproving glance. “You always love playing dirty, huh?”“Of course,” Jay smirked. “A game’s no fun unless someone ends up shy or embarrassed.” He stretched lazily

ZEUSHot.The sudden, searing sensation against my back jolted me from sleep. Disoriented, I blinked into the dim room, trying to make sense of the heat radiating against my skin. Then I realized…Odin. He was pressed against me, his arm draped around my waist as it had been the entire night.Confused, I turned to face him, and my heart stopped. His face was flushed deep red, beads of sweat clinging to his forehead. His breathing was shallow, labored, as though he were gasping for air.“Odin!” Panic surged through me like wildfire. I shot up, my body taut with dread.His entire body was burning, scorching hot as if he'd been thrown into a bonfire. I shook him frantically. “Odin, open your eyes! ODIN!” My voice broke a

“ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH, AND HE STILL HASN’T SENT THE MONEY!” Suzan screamed, hurling an ashtray across the room. It narrowly missed the young man in the wheelchair, smashing against the wall behind him.Unfazed, he didn't flinch or even glance up, calmly continuing his solitary chess game.Alexandra stormed out of her bedroom, her expression annoyed. “Mom! Can you stop making such a racket? I’m on the phone with my boyfriend! This is why I stay in the hostel and hate coming home!”“Who cares about your slum-rat boyfriend?” Suzan spat, her voice laced with venom. “Is he going to save us when we’re flat broke?”The young man’s skin turned pale at the outburst.

ZEUS“Can’t decide yet who to go to? Gary or Damon?” a familiar voice spoke from beside me. “Knowing you all these years, I bet you’ll choose the person who matters most—the one you value above all.”I didn’t need to look to recognize him. Mr. Peter. The homeless man who always lingered near this bus station. Twelve years ago, he had been in this same bus station when he called an ambulance for me. I came to see him once a year without fail. He was as much a fixture of this place as the rusted benches and the faint scent of gasoline.Leaning back, I murmured, “Do I really have to decide?” My fingers clenched around the eleven thousand dollars in my hand as I stared at my reflection in the cracked mirror on the station wall.Mr. Peter

ZEUS During the barbecue, Jay had asked me, “Are you his soulmate?”  My hand was almost burned in surprise. “No,” I immediately denied. While living amongst werewolves even though it had only been for a couple of days I had come to understand the meaning of soulmates.  “Really?” Jay did not look convinced.  “Yeah, why do you think otherwise?”  He gestured at Odin having a conversation with Scott a distance away, “Do you see how he looks at you?
