I could feel the tension-thick, suffocating. The kind of silence that screams before a storm.
The moment Axcel Dela Vega opened his damn mouth, I already knew-I had to shut it. Permanently. That bastard didn't know his place. Didn't know that Trinity... she's mine.
And the way he looked at her? Like she was some prize to be claimed. Like she was available. Like she wasn't already owned-by me.
Later that night
I tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear. My hand lingered longer than it should. I shouldn't be here. I shouldn't be doing this. I should be with Nicole.
But f**k. Every goddamn cell in my body screams her name. My mind is haunted by her face. My ears echo her voice. My soul is tethered to hers like a chain I never want to break.
I want you. All of you. Over and over.
