To Be Yours Again by Taylor

“Can you think straight, Alec Faust?!” Jenny pushed him hard. She could still taste Alec on her lips, and. her heart was in a frenzy.

He looked down at her, quiet.

But…” he looked at Jenny, and his voice cracked, “I can’t help it. The minute I see you with some other guy, I get so mad. I wish I could just pull you close to me.”

Alec knew that the way he was acting wasn’t normal. But what could he do? He couldn’t help it.
