Alle Kapitel von You Are Mine, Little Sister: Kapitel 181 – Kapitel 190

Her jaw unhinged a fraction; a comma hung between us."f you back out, you're admitting you know I can do it."Her lips moved without sound, as if the words were shy. She didn't even know how to handle conversations like this."Okay," she whispered in the end, under her breath.It was reckless. I hadn't read for pleasure in too long. I didn't even know how I ended up in this conversation with Rali. Simply because I wanted to keep hearing her talk, I'd agreed to a life sentence."I'll just get some baskets to put the books."Her eyes brushed mine—half a heartbeat, less than a second—and still it did something unreal to my system, like a switch flipped under my ribs."Your colleagues."She stopped, facing me again."How much have they sold?"Her brows knit. "Um... The highest is ninety."I nodded once. "Can I get a hundred and eighty books, then?"Confusion returned to her eyes, loosening her jaw."I'm—I'm sorry, what?""I'm trying to help with the task."Fear crept into her eyes. Fuck,

He didn't even pause. "Jade, Ethan and Elliot."Okay. Maybe that was an easy question."In a particular chapter, Jade and the boys went to a thrift store. What happened there?"He tilted his chin. "She met a man from the Wolves. Threatened her and shit."My jaw nearly met the floor.No way! He actually read!I blinked fast as my brain scrambled for something else. I threw more questions at him from different books, other series, and every answer landed clean.What the hell?"How did you do it?" I shook my head, half-laughing at myself. "I'd never been able to do that myself despite being here all day."Plus, I didn't think men read that much.Pride shone in his grey eyes; his shrug was pure quiet victory. "Let's just say I'm good when it comes to competitions. I love winning.""Wow. Then it's obvious you'll be the one winning the challenge with your friends.""I sure will."I shook my head. That was truly crazy.I turned back to the shelf, pretending I didn't know what was coming.‡‡‡

I confirmed it the moment we hit the sidewalk that Dominic was an all-ladies problem. I had no idea it'd be this crazy walking with him in public. Most of the women kept staring at him, some of them whispering to themselves and giggling like some highschool teens. A few even shot me the look people give at auctions when someone else raises the final paddle.Well, it was hard not to admire someone like him. To be fair, he wasn't even trying. Just jeans and a tucked-in white shirt, first button undone, sleeves neat.Anyone could dress like this, but not everyone could 'look' like this.It wasn't until we got to the bus station that I realized we had a problem. I still wasn't used to using the bus, and I didn't want to be alone with him in a cab even if there was a woman with us."What? Let's get on the bus," He cocked his head toward the one already filling."I... I um..." I looked around. What was I supposed to do?"If this bus leaves, we'd have to wait for at least five minutes, Rali.

RALI'You were made for me, Green.''You've been mine since you were seven.''You have no idea how fucking obsessed I am with you.'I was at a table, working on a sketch. The sight was blurry, I couldn't see what I was working on.Then he walked in behind me. There was something familiar about him.I didn't turn to look at him, but I felt him. It was Void. The Torturer.'Quite impressive. The dress, I mean.' He complimented my work.He sounded familiar too. I couldn't really place it, but there was something that felt 'recent' about him.I came awake with a small start, my heart not sprinting as it wasn't a nightmare.For a long time, I lay on my back, tracing cracks in the ceiling with my eyes, wondering why I was suddenly having these dreams of the dead man.It was the third time I was dreaming of him in a row. I had a feeling those dreams were memories. But why? I didn't want to remember him. I wanted him to stay dead to me......I closed my eyes, a bright smile on my face as

"N—No. Not at all."I pasted on a real smile—shaky but real—and made my way into the seat.It smelt like him, and in a weird way, it felt good.I closed my eyes, breathing in, trying to calm the war fighting to rise in my head. I inhaled the scent of him and herded my thoughts toward the bright pages: my bookstore customer: the first man I rode a bus with; nice Dominic, the one everyone liked.You'll be fine, Rali. He isn't dangerous."You okay?" he asked as he got in beside me.I hadn't meant to look into his eyes, but I did and got hooked instantly. Those cold gray eyes sure knew how to do something to the mind."Yeah," I breathed, tearing my gaze and looking out the window.We pulled into the road. With every turn, the panic loosened a notch; it became more evident that I was safe in the car. See, Rali? He didn't bite you. It's completely safe.'Not all men are evil.'...This might have been the first Christmas I remembered, but it already felt like the best one I'd ever had.By e
