JESSICA

He’s damn right.

I watched as Theo reaches into his jacket pocket, pulling out a crumpled pack of cigarettes. My nostrils flare as he flicks a lighter, the small flame illuminating the sharp angles of his face for a brief second before he takes a long drag.

“Still hate these?” he asks, smoke curling from his lips as he speaks.

“Still a walking health hazard?” I counter. Goddess! Why am I even here? I’m starting to remember how much I hate this guy to begin with.

He laughs, tilting his head to blow a stream of smoke directly into my face. I cough, eyes watering, but when I try to push past him, his arm blocks my escape.

“Remember that time behind the training facility?” His voice drops even lower, rumbling through my chest. “You said you loved the taste of

cigarettes on my tongue.”

Heat crawls up my neck. “I was young and stupid.”

“You were fucking wild,” he corrects. Theo’s fingers trail down my arm, leaving goosebumps in their wake. “The things that came out of that pretty mouth when I had you against the wall…”

My stomach tightens with an unwelcome heat. “Stop.”

“Why? Because Grayson’s got you on a leash now?” His cigarette–holding hand comes to rest beside my head, ash falling dangerously close to my shoulder. ” I’m really amazed at your choices of lover, Jessica.” He takes another drag, eyes never leaving mine.” He’s just going to ruin you.”

“Why did I ask you for a favor again?”

Theo laugh.” Because you missed me?”

My cheeks burn, but I hold his gaze. “The favor, Theo. That’s all I’m here for.”

“Sure, baby.” He blows smoke past my cheek. “Tell yourself whatever you need to. What do you want to know?”

“I need to know what happened with the council,” I say, trying to focus.

Theo shifts closer, his breath hot against my ear. “Your puppy went ballistic, Storming in, demanding they reconsider. Quite the show.”

My heart hammers. “What did they say?”

“Say?” His laugh is whiskey–rough. “Sweetheart, Grayson practically threw a fucking table. His daddy had to drag him out.”

I swallow hard. “And the decision?”

“Unchanged.” Theo’s thumb brushes my bottom lip, his smirk widening when I don’t pull away, “Your knight in shining armor fought for you, and it didn’t mean shit.”

“They’re doing this to make an example of you, baby girl,” Theo says, his calloused fingers brushing a strand of hair from my face. “Girls like you aren’t supposed to have opinions.“,
