  79. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Shaking my head, I turned around and ran to my car. Fumbling with the keys with trembling hands, I somehow managed to get in and drove away. His silent yet rigid form grew distant in the rearview as I went further and further away until he vanished out of the sight.

Slamming on the brakes, I stopped at a corner. My grip around the wheels tightened as a sob left my mouth. I let the tears free, placing my head against the seat. The pounding of my heart still didn’t die down. How could I let it happen? How could I let him so close to me? Even after everything, how could I let myself sway? How?

“You’re mine to touch! Mine. Just mine.”

His words rang in my head.

I shook my head. No,no, no. I can’t let it happen. I can’t let myself get hurt again. I can’t let him do this to me again. I won’t be able to live through another heartbreak.

My phone blared in my purse.

Wiping my cheeks, I fished my phone out.

Tess.

“Hey, Em! Sorry if I’m disturbing you. Dad told me you’re with your friends,” she said from the other side.

I have to do something.

“Em? Are you listening?”

I blinked. “Yeah, tell me.”

“All right, so I called to tell you that we’re having a family dinner at Caleb’s place tomorrow night. It’d be a great chance to get our families together again. His uncle is also coming. So, I’d be really happy if you join,” she explained. “You will come, right?” Her voice was full of hope.

Silence.

“Em? You will join us, won’t you?”

“I’m sorry, Tess. I can’t.”

“But—”

I cut the call and dialed Warner’s number. After two rings, he picked up.

“Hello?”

“Book two tickets and pack your bags.”

“What? Now? But why?”

“We’re leaving. Tonight.”

SEVEN: MINE

A pair of stormy grays gazed down at me. My heart skipped at the intensity in them. I tried to move, but it felt like I didn’t have any control over my body. I couldn’t do anything but watch those gray pools coming closer.

Then I felt hot breath fanning my neck, sending goosebumps across my skin. My insides squirmed with anticipation.

“Mine…”

Jolting awake, I searched around for him. But there was no one. But, I felt as if someone just called me his…

Running my palms over my face, I sat up. It was just a dream.

He wouldn’t leave me alone, even in my dreams, would he? Three days had passed since that night and my returning to New York, and his words still haunted my sleep.

Shaking my head, I glanced at the time. Shit! It’s already eight!
