“I’m not here to entertain people.”

“Too bad,” she says before she shoots me again on my other leg.

“Stop that.” She shoots me again on the arm, making me more annoyed and wanting to shoot her. “Reign,” I warn her, in a low voice.

“Killian,” she mimics. “I’m going to keep shooting you if you don’t play.”

Stupid fucking girl.

She wants to play?

“Keep shooting me and I won’t be gentle with what I do to you, Reign,” I threaten.

But that does nothing to stop her. She aims the gun and shoots me in the arm again. I don’t waste any time before bringing up my gun and shooting her on her thigh.

“Ow!” she winces and looks down at the paint on her thigh.

She glares at me and is about to shoot me again, but I beat her to it and hit her on her waist.

She gets a shot in, and we are just slowly walking closer to each other, just fucking shooting each other.

Once I’m close enough to her, I take her gun and toss it to the side.

She backs up until she hits a wall. “I told you I don’t play,” I say, my face leaning down so we’re about an inch away from each other. “Shoot me again and I’ll make sure to make the next shot hurt. Don’t. Test. Me.” Reign looks up at me with those innocent blues and I swear I could probably go on my knees with how she’s looking at me. She’s looking at me like I’m about to burn her world to the ground. She doesn’t say anything, so before I do something I regret, like squeezing her throat in my hand, I turn around and am about to walk away. But after I get a few steps away I feel a shot on my back. I throw the gun to the floor and next thing I know my hand is on her throat while my other is on the wall near her head. She drops the gun and places her hand on my chest, probably feeling my heart beating against my chest rapidly. “Did you not understand what I just told you?”

“You’re too stubborn to admit you’re having fun. Just be normal for once and have fun. I bet you’ve never experienced fun.”

I laugh lightly and shake my head. “You have no clue who I am or what I can do, Reign. Stop acting like it.”

Reign gulps against my hand on her throat and I swear blood rushes down to my dick.

“What if I want to? What if I want to know more about what you're constantly thinking about or why you’re always quiet? What’s underneath the hard exterior?”

I lick my bottom lip lightly and I see Reign’s eyes flash to my lips before meeting my eyes.

Stupid fucking girl.

“Then you’re in for a hell of a ride, Reign Pierce.”

Reign

Killianand I haven’t spoken to one another since we left the paintball arena. The moment between us in the arena ended as quickly as it started.

His hand left my throat when the bell rang, and he disappeared in the shadows while I met with the rest of the group.

We all left the arena and when we got outside to the parking lot, I saw Killian waiting next to his car, texting on his phone.

I said bye to Jamie before heading over to Killian which brings us to right now, in the car where we still haven’t said a word to one another.

I don’t take back what I said about getting to know Killian. I want to know the kind of person he is because of how different he is from me. I don’t want to just learn about him, but I also want to learn from him and how he is so strong and stoic.

So, I asked my Star for advice.

He always knows what to say without judgment.

How do I get to know someone who doesn’t want to talk?
