His Trouble Maker

JESSICA

I’m gonna lose it.

My body’s going rogue, my head’s on fire, and I can’t stop thinking about that damn phone. One stupid move and everything blows up. One missed second and someone finds Theo’s backup plan before I do.

I almost punch Pierce’s annoying face when he appeared beside me. He looks like he just went from a morning run.

“You okay?” he asks, opening the fridge and grabbing a bottle of water.

“Dol look okay to you?” I snap.

He glances at me. His eyes narrow. “You’re sweating.”

My spine straightens.

I wipe my palms down my leggings like that’ll erase the sheen clinging to my skin, the way my breath’s coming too fast, too shallow.

“It’s hot.”

“Pierce, seriously—just back off.”

I need to get out of here. Now. Before he sees too much. Before I give myself away. Before everything falls apart.

My brother might love me, but Pierce’s loyalty is to the pack first. It’s what makes him Grayson’s right hand.

It’s what makes him dangerous to me right now.

“Pierce, back the fuck off before I tear your throat out.”

“Jess-”

The front door slams open so hard it bounces against the wall.

“Fucking fantastic,” Pierce mutters, rolling his eyes.
