“You weren’t serious, those words were just for me…”
I still hadn’t fully sobered up. I frowned, pinching his chin.

Jax Ryder’s movements abruptly stopped.
A moment later, he curved his lips, slowly, pulling back into a beautiful, extremely dangerous smile:

The night wind suddenly picked up, rippling the autumn waters.

Alex’s tone changed drastically: “What are you doing?”
But I could no longer form complete sentences. Only after Jax Ryder eased his grip, I
used my trembling fingers to hang up the phone.
Jax Ryder chuckled softly, his breath hot as he whispered in my ear:
“Sister… now, this time is completely mine.”
