DARE-TO-LOVE-TRUTH-AND-DARE-DUET-COLLECTION-by-Lylah-James-pdfarchive

Horrified, I could only blink, trying to remind myself to
breathe. He shouldn’t be able to affect me this way, he
shouldn’t be able to control my thoughts like this.
I was not weak, no… Maddox… couldn’t…
He pulled away slightly to look into my face. His eyes
were so blue, I almost drowned in them. “It won't happen
today. Or tomorrow. Or next week. But one day, for sure.
And no, I'm not being cocky. Cocky is for boys who don't
know what they’re doing. Me? I know exactly what I'm
doing. I know for a fact it will happen. Fight it if you can.”
He pushed away from me, and the cold washed over me
as if I had been carelessly dunked into the ocean.
I silently gasped for breath as Maddox walked
backward, away from me. The look on his face was
something I’ve never seen before.
“I dare you, Lila.”
I PADDED barefoot into my room, fresh from my shower and
still wrapped in nothing but my fluffy towel. My phone
pinged with a message, and I walked over to the nightstand
to see it was from Riley.
What time are you leaving?
I typed out a quick message back. I’ll catch the bus in 20
minutes.
The three little dots appeared on my screen, indicating
she was typing.
If you want, I can pick you up, and we can go together.
My thumb paused over my phone as I read her sentence.
My ears rang with the distant sound of glass shattering and
bones crushing. The taste of metallic blood filled every
corner of my mouth, and I almost choked on it. Except,
there was no blood. I was choking on my own saliva, and
the air surrounding me turned heavy, cold…suffocating.
