As my head tilted upward, my eyes met his. And that was when fear slowly began creeping into me. Because something was different. Very different.
The look in his eyes had changed. Gone was the irritation. Gone was the annoyance. What I saw now was something much worse. Something darker. Something I didn’t recognize.
For a moment, I simply stared at him, unable to look away.
“You’re not done with anything until I say so.” His voice was lower, but somehow it sounded even more frightening. Because it was filled with aggression.
The kind that made my stomach tighten. The kind that made me instantly freeze.
His grip on my chin became harder. And harder. Pain shot through my jaw. I winced. But he didn’t seem to notice. Or maybe he simply didn’t care.
“You think this is some kind of joke?”
