"What do you mean?" I raise my eyebrow at him.

"You and Alexander. Everyone sees it."

"Sees what?"

"How you two want each other."

I can't help but chuckle.

"We don't want each other."

Rowan nods his head lightly. "Come here."

I raise an eyebrow at Rowan. "Why?"

"Stop asking questions and come here," Rowan demands, in a rougher tone that made me feel butterflies in my stomach. I walk towards Rowan until I'm standing in front of him. "Close your eyes." I do as he says and close my eyes. I feel a light touch on my shoulder, making my skin break out in goosebumps. "Now imagine yourself bare on a bed with silk sheets. A specific bed with a specific someone above you, running their finger down your body." Rowan's finger travels down. Alexander flashes in my head when Rowan drags his finger over my stomach. "That spot between your legs is pulsing and you can't help but rub your thighs together as you imagine everything that he will do to you." Rowan's finger travels down my stomach until it grazes the spot between my legs. "What's his name, Thalia?" Rowan whispers in my ear.

My head leans back as I say, "Xander." My hips lean closer to Rowan's hand, but Rowan pushes me away from him softly, making me open my eyes. Rowan's eyebrow is lifted, and his head is tilted to the side. "You're a jerk."

"Just proving a point," Rowan shrugs his shoulders and his eyes travel to whatever is behind me. "And looks like your lover is on his way to claim what's his." Rowan leans off the wall and is about to walk past me, but his lips are next to my ear again. "I'll wait in the car. If you don't come out in an hour or so, then I’m leaving you here."

I watch Rowan pass everyone in the hallway and walk towards the front door. As he leaves, I feel a hand grab my wrist and pull me away from the kitchen. I look at who is pulling me, and I see Alexander.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? Let go," I demand but Alexander ignores me and pulls me through the crowd of people. I let Alexander pull me through the crowd until we end up in a dark bedroom. Alexander lets go of my hand and he walks around the room, pacing like a fucking maniac. "So, are you going to tell me why you decided to drag me inside of some bedroom?"

Alexander finally faces me, and I swear I feel like my heart flips as he looks at me like he wants to commit the biggest sin on me.

"You have a thing for pissing me off, don't you? Do you get off on it or something?" Alexander asks as he walks closer to me.

I shrug my shoulders. "Maybe a little."
