“As far as I’m concerned, Jamie, you belong to me.”
My heart skipped a beat at the dominance behind that statement.Still, I wasn’t ready to cave.“You gave me to Master Chaos.”
“Not true,” he countered.“I didn’tgiveyou to anyone.I wouldn’t.I couldn’t.”He swallowed.“You mean something to me, Jamie.”
“Funny way of showing it,” I muttered.
This time, when Edge gripped my chin, he wasn’t as gentle.He didn’t hurt me, but he damn sure got my attention.I glared at him, surprised daggers weren’t shooting from my eyes.
Neither of us gave for several seconds.I fought the urge to look at his mouth, battled back thoughts of him kissing me the way he had before.
“You want it your way?”he ground out.
I didn’t answer, not quite sure what he was getting at.
“Do you want me to prove myself to you?”
“Yes, damn it,” I barked.“Yes, I do.”
“Fine.”His hand dropped.“If that’s what you want, that’s what you’ll get.”
He released me, got to his feet, stared down at me.
“What?”I had no idea what just happened.“What are you talking about?”
“I’ll see you in class on Saturday, Miss Lautner.Come prepared.”He started for the door.“Oh, and I didn’t add you to the rotation tomorrow.It’ll give you time to figure out if this is really what you want.”
I watched as he walked out the door, instructing me to lock it behind him.I stared for the longest time, trying to figure out what the hell had just happened.
I was still wondering, even when I fell asleep an hour later.

When I arrived at Dichotomy on Friday night, I knew something had happened.Not only because Edge had insisted the Masters meet prior to the class, but also because he hadn’t been at the Chatter offices that day.When I had texted him, he’d told me we would discuss tonight.When I had texted Jamie, she told me she needed some time to think.
That was when I got the sneaking suspicion something had happened between them.
I walked into the training room to find Edge pacing the floor.I was the first to arrive for this impromptu meeting, which I took as a good sign.
“Hey, what’s up?”
He stopped suddenly, his eyes slamming into me as though he hadn’t expected me to be there.
“I went to see Jamie last night,” he informed me, stepping closer.
So it would appear my suspicions were accurate.“And…?”
“And I’m making a change to the class.”
I stared at him, let it all sink in.
“Did you hear me?”he asked.
“I did.”I pushed my hands into my pockets.“And what change would that be?”
“You’ll see.”
I grabbed his arm when he started to turn away.“I think I deserve to know now.If it pertains to Jamie…” I studied his face momentarily.“I have a right to know.”
