My heart keeps racing.
I curl my toes.
Cullen leaves the bedroom.
The second he does, chills move through my body.
I feel like I’m being watched.
I slowly stand up and walk to the window to close it.
I look outside.
I can’t see a thing.
But I can feel something.
I tell myself maybe it’s guilt.
Because I’ve had Archer’s tongue between my legs.
And now I have Cullen’s sticky mess clinging to my right hand.
And I still don’t know who I really am.
Then again…
I’m Jaci fucking Ruby.
I’ll do whatever I want, when I want.
I’ll do whoever I want… when I want…
Chapter 29
The rain stops my morning.
There’s a wet, cool feel to everything.
Including me.
Last night I showered for a little while, washing away the leftovers of Cullen that were invisible on my skin… but I could still feel.
Maz and Birdie were drunk and laughing at scary videos online.
They both looked at me and asked how my movie had been.
I didn’t answer, which probably told them everything they needed to know.
I walk to my classes with earbuds in.
I don’t see Cullen.
I don’t see Archer either.
Somewhere in the pit of my stomach I fear something bad has happened.
Cullen had been hell bent on getting to Archer.
