"Why not?"
"Because...because nothing has changed, Ethan. You are still Alexander Laurent's son. You are still the future Alpha of your pack. And I am still just…"
"Do not," he cut her off. "Do not say you are just anything."
Another knock, more insistent this time. "Lydia! Seriously, she is going to kill you!"
Ethan's eyes held hers. "Say yes."
A part of her knew she should say no. That getting more involved with Ethan would only lead to more pain. But when she looked at him, she could not bring herself to refuse.
"Yes," she said softly.
A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "I will text you the details. Be ready Friday after class."
He pressed one more quick, hard kiss to her lips, then turned and left leaving Lydia with her racing heart and swollen lips.
