I suck in a sharp breath Luca reaches out, grabs Theo by the collar of his shirt, and yanks him forward He tries to hide it, but I can see the pain those words cause I have no idea what feelings Luca holds for o, but I know he holds an insuruilt over it I saw it in his eyes when I opened to door the day he came to check on me

“You’re ato turn this shit around on me Do I want her? Fuck yes, I do But I damn sure wouldn’t lay a hand on her”

“But you fucking did,” Theo roars

“Not the way you did”

So sinister enters Theo’s eyes They flip todid,” he repeats, his tone low and holding a sick sense of satisfaction

Shock slams into me, and a pain so sharp it sucks away all the breath into s will give out at any minute

My eyes slice to Luca to see the hand still gripping Theo’s shirt collar shake His face is ghost white He releases Theo and takes a step back, his eyes never leaving the ony cross his face

“You’re fucking lying” Utter devastation laces Luca’s tone

Theo straightens his shirt, then lifts his lip in a sneer “Auess what? You’re worse I had her years ago because she wantedsame The only time you had her hen you took asn’t yours to have At least she wanted me to fuck her at one point in her life She’s never wanted that from you”

A burning sensation starts in ets and the higher it travels up ulfed in flames

What he’s saying can’t be true I would have rerueso flashes instolen from me

Tearing clothes

Being held down

Unbearable pain

Terrifying fear
