051 Brianna Pounds Drive safe, huh? How the fuck was I supposed to do that? Nico was so cruel, God. How could I have been so incredibly stupid? If I made it out alive tonight, Nico, I swear to God I would never have a single thing to do with that man ever again. The tears pouring down my face tickled my cheeks, blinding me completely. Keeping one hand white-knuckled on the steering wheel, I tried to wipe the moisture away, but it was useless as more poured. My chest hurt. My head was pounding, my brain felt like it was swelling, and every single inch of my body was screaming in agony. I didn't even know where I was driving. I just wanted to get away from that goddamn warehouse and go to my mom, and I didn't even have my phone. Then, the flashing lights appeared in my rearview mirror, a siren blaring at a distance behind me. "No no no, I just want to get to my mom. I can't afford to be pulled over." Panic seized my throat. I slammed my foot down hard on the accelerator

053Brianna Pounds“Brianna,” he murmured, his voice incredibly deep and sultry.God, why did he have to do that? Saying my name like that, so soothing. The moment his lips parted to drawl another syllables, I shoved my face forward in a frantic haste. I caught his lower lip between mine before he could even close his mouth, locking our lips together.“So soft,” I breathed, pulling back just a fraction to speak. I knew I should let him go right now, but I didn't have the strength to pull away. Worse, I wanted this far too bad, even if my body was entirely drained of energy.Releasing his lower lip, a gasp escaped me as the searing heat of his inner upper lip grazed against mine. It felt like I was being submerged into a delicious, rolling ocean wave of pure warmth. It made my chest tighten, pulling a low groan from the back of my throat that I didn't mean to let out. The sound slipped right into his mouth as he suddenly responded, capturing both my upper and lower lips at the same tim

055Brianna Pounds“Thank you so much,” I whispered, my voice quivering.He shook his head quickly, as if I had just said the entirely wrong thing. His voice was incredibly smooth and tender. “No thank you’s, Brianna. I haven't done anything for you.” His fingers gently grazed my chin. “Okay? I didn't say all that just to make you feel better. It's the truth. I know I don't know you, and I don't know everything you've been through, but believe me when I say I see everything except a crazy woman right now.”I leaned directly into his touch, lowering my head slightly to escape the way his intense gaze was piercing right through me. “So don't thank me for anything,” he added softly.My heart was surprisingly still. I would have expected it to be racing frantically. I expected my inner thoughts to be screaming in protest, telling me that I shouldn't be losing my mind over a total stranger, that I shouldn't believe a word he was saying, that I was a completely ruined mess, and that Nico ha

057Nicodemo Harrington“You're not seriously asking me to drive you around to go look for your bitch, are you?”“Kariana,” I sighed, running a hand over my face. “Please. I'm worried. She looked completely disoriented when I let her leave.”She shook her head, scoffing. “Okay? And how exactly is that supposed to be my business?”“Christ, please, okay?” I yelled under my breath, my voice sharp with frustration I didn't want to let out. “I'm worried about her.”“Well, that is not my problem.” She reached for the ignition, and for a second, I wanted to reach out and freeze her hand in place. How much more begging did she need from me before she finally realized I had completely swallowed my ego tonight?“You put her through that mess tonight,” I added, my voice tight. “So, technically... you owe me. You owe her.”She hissed under her breath, twisting the keys. The engine roared to life. I instantly slammed my palm over her wrist to stop her from shifting into gear. “Please don't leave m

059Brianna PoundsPreventing my attempt to lower my head, Zeus hooked his thumb gently under my jaw as the low purr of the ignition finally died. “Hey, hey, hey. Look at me,” he murmured. “You're not in any danger. Being with me is the safest place you can possibly be.”The driver’s seat groaned as the lady unlocked the doors and opened hers. I really should have looked around, or at least questioned the sudden stop, but my eyes were too watery to see anything clearly. I wasn't even confident enough to look directly into his piercing blue eyes, and my mind simply refused to stay in one place.“You don't understand me, Zeus. I'm so complicated right now.” I lowered my gaze.The driver's side door shut heavily, cutting through his voice. He nudged my chin up slightly. “Look at me,” he commanded ever so gently, and I lifted my eyes to do exactly that. “There is nothing too complicated for me to understand. Absolutely nothing. Even if you told me you were a ghost.” That specific comment
