JESSICA

“I want you, Jess… and I’m so fucking tired of pretending I don’t.”

W–What did he just said?

Did Grayson Westwood–Alpha asshole, my nightmare, the boy I’ve hated breathing near me since forever–just say he wants me?

Jessica Wilkinson.

My lashes fluttered like maybe blinking harder would reset reality. It didn’t. He was still there. Still looking at me like that. Still standing in front of me with that stupid, wrecked look on his face.
