I bit him back, feeling his lip swell under my teeth.
Maddox groaned, low and deep, and his body shuddered.
Almost violently. I didn’t know where he started, and I
ended. Our blood mixed on our tongues, but we didn’t stop
kissing. Didn’t stop battling for dominance. Didn’t stop…
touching each other.
This kiss.
This moment.
This… feeling. Torment. Love. Fury. Passion.
Resentment. Longing. Pain. So much fucking pain.
The kiss slowed, and I wondered if Maddox could feel
how much I didn’t want this moment to end.
“You taste like mine… and lies. You’re a fucking liar,
Lila,” he rasped against my lips.
Furious, I tore away from him and slammed my fists into
his chest. He was hurting, I told myself. He didn’t mean it; I
whispered in my head.
But the anger was overwhelming and the final thin
thread of my sanity snapped. I stabbed my finger into his
chest, hard enough that he drunkenly stumbled back. “Me?
ME? I’m a liar?” I screamed into his face. “You lived with
me for months and lied to MY FACE, EVERY SINGLE DAY!
You started our relationship with a lie. You. Kept. Secrets.
From. Me.”
His eyes darkened, and his face turned red with rage, as
he bellowed back, “I never lied to you!”
I paused, my heart hammered in my rib cage, so hard, I
thought it’d burst out of my chest. “You still think you’re
right? You still think whatever you did… was the right
decision?”
“I never lied to you.”
I shook my head, laughing, but there was no humor in it.
My laugh sounded as dead as my heart felt. “You did. You
broke me, Maddox. You broke me… more than Christian
and his dad ever did. You had the power to do so, and you
used it.”
