CHAPTER 4

JESS

"What the fuck...." I yelled at the stranger, who almost yanked my arm out of its socket, but my words died in my throat.

Luke was the one pinning me to the door, and he was mad. Really mad. His nostrils were flaring, and he was grinding his teeth. His sharp blue eyes sliced right through me. I WAS TRAPPED.

Luke fumed, and somehow, he seemed even angrier than before if that was even possible.

"Where are your clothes, Jessica?" He stepped forward, looking down at me, taking in every part of my body. I could feel his eyes graze over my skin, and something other than anger flickered across his face for a second. "Jessica, where are your clothes?" Luke repeated, this time in at raspy, deep voice. He closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose.
