Athena's tears started to fall, her lips trembling uncontrollably.

"Why?"

Tyler took a drag from his cigarette, squinting slightly.

Why?

Because he was just a natural-born jerk, incapable of loving anyone. Her asking why seemed almost laughable.

A cold smile spread across his face as he exhaled slowly.

"Since you know what kind of person I am, once we head back, just stay at your place. You don't need to come over and cook for me anymore; I've got a housekeeper."

Athena kept crying, tears streaming like a broken faucet that wouldn't shut off.

But Tyler felt no sympathy, thinking maybe this time she'd finally give up.

Yet, after crying her heart out, Athena suddenly lunged at him, grabbing his collar and standing on tiptoes to kiss him.

Tyler staggered backward a few steps, leaning against the wall as they kissed.

Who knows how long they kissed, but he felt her bite down on his lip, causing him

to frown. He pushed her away and wiped his lip, noticing a bit of blood.

"What are you, part wolf?"

He hadn't expected her to bite, but it stirred something else in him.

Tyler pulled her into the nearby stall, lifting her skirt with a swift motion.

"This place was just used by someone else. Doesn't that bother you?" Athena asked, her voice trembling with tears.
