control.

Kaira wanted him. He touched my cheek with his palm, and I closed my eyes to feel his touch caressing my skin, enveloping me in his intoxicating scent.

“Now you hold a rose and say, Mate?” I said, and Kaira pleaded with me to take it

easy, but I was mad.

my pain away. I prayed so hard the goddess answered, but you weren’t

willing.

“Why now? Do you hate Sylvester so

much that you want to hurt him the worst way ever!” I said, and he shook his head, tears streaming down his face, looking
