Page 171 of We Are Yours
“She was never yours to claim, little brother.”
“I wasn’t your little when I was fucking her doggy style on the stairs.”
Isla stepped between us, holding us both back from each other. “NO!”
With my hands fisted at my sides, I couldn’t look at him anymore.
I couldn’t look at either of them anymore.
“I can’t believe this,” I muttered. “How is this happening?”
I did this.
“Julius—”
I raised my hand, stopping her. “I’m so sorry, Isla. This is all my fault.”
For a second, I placed my hand over her stomach, and she sucked in a breath. Little by little, I backed away. I had to, or I’d kill him.
“This isn’t over, Kraven.”
Isla backed away next, saying, “I’m so sorry,” to both of us.
I started with, “Nothing hurts more than the woman we love…”
And Kraven finished it. “Loving someone else in the same way she loves you too.”
Tears streamed down her face.
Together we declared war, “We’re yours.” In seconds, we pleaded, “Now say you’re mine.”
Isla cried out, stumbling back.
It was just too overwhelming.
We all needed a minute.
Before I said something I regretted, I left with the fire inside me. Leaving all my shit in my bedroom, I got the hell out of there.
My core seized up the longer I drove around aimlessly. It tightened all around me, producing a piercing pain I would carry with me for the rest of my life.
The guilt.
The memories.
More demons.
I battled the desire to hold her.
To tell her everything would be okay.
The worry in my heart consumed me, overshadowing any other emotion.
Next thing I knew, I was slamming my car door shut, desperately trying to shake off my unrelenting thoughts. I blared the music as loud as it would go, thumping loud and hard into my mind, mimicking the pounding of my heart and the ringing in my ears.
I was going over fifty miles per hour, pushing sixty, pissed at what I’d done. Furious for allowing it to happen. I couldn’t get away fast enough.
Not from my mind.
