Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 802

Milo and Buddy flanked Tara, teeth bared, eyes locked on her like she was their next meal.

Tara glanced over, saw Kay still frozen, and tossed her hair with a scoff. "Fine. If you won't say yes, I'll just go find a few guys to mess around with tonight. Dylan doesn't care about me anyway, so why should I care about myself? Do whatever you want—I'm done pretending anyone matters to anyone."

Kay shot after her, grabbing her wrist before she could storm off.

Tara's lips curled into a half-smile. "You know how stubborn I am, right? The only reason I put up with all that Warren family nonsense was for Dylan. I can swallow anything for him, but if there's no chance with him, I'll do whatever I want. If you don't want to see me with a bunch of random guys, then come with me."

Kay hesitated, fiddling with his mask. "I..."
