"I don’t care about you being sorry! I hate you" My hands gripped his forearms, which were braced over e with his ht of him

His hold on me lessened as he used his hands to peel the keys out ofto face him

"You don’t hate me," he asserted "If you did, you wouldn’t be this upset" The cocky twist to his toneofintoaway

Those words shouldn’t turnto take him in I tasted his breath and wanted to capture and taste all of him I wanted to fulfill my need

But my eyes snapped open when I realized that it would fulfill his need, too
