“Tell me you’re mine.”
A strangled moan escaped me. If he’d asked me to swear the sky was pink, I probably would have.
I dragged his face toward mine, drowning in those dazed blue eyes—and whatever I saw there made my heart stumble.
I pressed my lips to his jaw, then whispered against his ear.
“Either fuck me or let me go.”
————————————————————————
Getting cheated on by my boyfriend was supposed to be the worst thing that happened to me.
Then I kissed the first man I could find to prove I was over him.
One kiss.
That was all it took to turn my life upside down.
Because the man I kissed wasn’t a stranger.
He was my ex’s rival.
The campus hockey star I’d spent months avoiding.
And apparently, he had a much bigger claim on me than I ever expected.
Now I’m living under the same roof as the man who makes my body betray every rule my heart has made.
He wants me.
I refuse to want him.
But every time he looks at me like I’m already his…
I start wondering how long I can keep pretending I don’t want the same thing.
