KatieI woke up in the middle of the night with my throat parched and my mouth tasting of pepperoni. My bladder ached with the need to pee, and I climbed out of bed, frowning when I didn’t feel Deacon next to me.
“Deacon?” I called as I walked towards the bathroom. “Are you in there?”
There was no reply. Frowning, I turned on the lights of the room.
It was empty. Deacon was gone.
He’d left me here all by myself.
I couldn’t believe it. The man I loved, the man who was supposed to be protecting me, had just left.
Gritting my teeth, I wiped the tears that were starting to sting my eyes. I hate you, Deacon, I thought angrily as I fumbled for my jeans. I can’t believe I ever thought I loved you.
