“Go ahead," I hissed under my breath. “I'll tell him how

you’ve been harassing me!”

Maddox had the audacity to look innocent. He let out a

mock gasp before his bottom lip jutted out in a small pout.

“Me? You’re the one who got physical with me, Sweet

Cheeks. Every. Single. Time. If I didn’t know better, I would

say you’re trying to get me to touch you.”

My stomach dipped, and my frustration bubbled to the

point where I thought I’d do something worse than bite

him. That’s it. I couldn’t deal with him anymore.

I threw my hands up in defeat. It took everything in me

to accept it, but I was done. “You know what? Truce. We’re

even with each other. Let's stop here.”

Maddox looked at me for a second longer. His gaze

seared into mine, burning through my walls and forcing

itself to peek into my soul. I clamped up and met his gaze

with a hard look.

He lifted a shoulder, a lazy shrug. “Fine. Truce. But you

need to kiss my boo boo better first.”

Is he really serious?

So, this was his game? He really wanted my lips on him,

somehow. Jerk. But fine, I’d play. “Fine. I’ll kiss your boo

boo better before you go running back to your mommy

crying.”

I brought his arm closer and slowly bent my head down

to the bite mark. It did look ugly and painful. For the

briefest moment, I felt bad and guilt gnawed at me before I

pushed it away.

Before my lips could touch him, Maddox crowded into

my space. I sucked in a harsh breath when his arm curled

around my waist and he pulled me into him. Our bodies

collided together softly and time came to a halt. Tick…

tock…

His heat seeped through his clothes and mine, and I

could feel the flush on my skin. My heart skittered, and I

could feel the beat of his own heart against my chest.
