“We never did get to talk after Shane’s wedding”

I clencheder to dry lare at hi All she ever had to do was say your nao runnin’ back to her”

He stood and tossed his phone on the seat beside hi casual, as if er didn’t bother him That was how it had always been with Ax He brushed everything off like it didn’t matter It was one of the reasons why it was so easy to think he would never care aboutto call the cops Liaotten hold of any of them…” He broke off, his jaw clenched as if he couldn’t stand to continue

“So of course she called you” I nodded,a little more “Not Wroth who is his cousin, or even Zander or Devlin who could just as easily have handled it Because you always kno to fix what is wrong for her Because she can’t do anything without you there to hold her freakin’ hand”

Axton sighed and thrust his hands into the front pockets of his jeans “You have nothing to worry about when it co ti”

This wasn’t the first ti of our relationship—if you could even call it that—I’d been sure that he wasaround with Gabriella Moreitti behind ht I hadsex with her during a party He’d never denied it, just laughed it off If anything he thought that

Stupid little blonde girl, already in love with him, jealous of everyone that even looked at her man

That was how it had felt when he had laughed ath I had been stupid Stupid to have continued our sha to work it out with hih I was so insecure, convinced that he was cheating on ether while he had just let me walk away in the end

It was also true that I had been in love with hi I wanted, everything I’d needed And the sex… The few lovers I’d had before Axton Cage had evaporated from my mind the instant he had touched me But it hadn’t been true that I was jealous of everyone that so much as looked at him There was no reason for me to be jealous of every other woman in the world

There were plenty of reasons to be jealous of Gabriella Moreitti, though

The biggest was her name inked into his wrist A tattoo that had been on his skin for years now If he was through with that troll bitch then as he still wearing her name?
