The Affection Exchange System
Turns out, I'd guessed right.
Derek's affection exchange system had stopped working, but what broke my heart even more was everything Raine and Skye had done.
By now, the two of them had gotten dressed, shoved Derek aside, and crouched down on either side of me.
"Mr. Sterling, you have to believe us. We really didn't know anything about this!"
"This was all Derek's doing. Please, don't do this to us. We're so scared..."
My temples throbbed.
