“I do not expect you to understand?—”
“What?”
My voice echoes around us, a painful shriek, and a few Fae look at us. We stare at each other before I shove him further back. “Never have you insulted me like you have just now.Never.”
Kaden has always listened to me. He has taken in my feelings, my thoughts, my instincts and understood what I needed. To wave them away like annoying insects is not only an insult, but a dagger to my heart.
“Do not touch me,” I say behind clenched teeth. “If you do, I may kill you.”
“I may let you,” he murmurs, watching my lips. “You know your murderous side is an aphrodisiac to me, pet.”
My red fingers grab my skirt, and I turn on my heal. I’m too incensed to think, ignoring Fee’s concern gaze and Reid’s confusion. Instead, I exhale and run into the garden, collapsing into a pile of fragrant blooms.
It’s not long before I feel another gaze on me.
