because you’re mine

Heat explodes in my core. My pulse begins to beat even faster, and I start to shiver. Goddammit, there’s something insanely sexy about this ridiculously over-the-top caveman routine, even though there’s no way I would have ever found this even a mild turn-on in anyone else.

But…that’s Hades.

Something new. And wild. And insane.

Hades

and I wasn’t sulking, I was looking up your class list from your school

Me

I’m sorry, what? Why?

Hades

So that I could check through all the guys who might have been at that post-formal afterparty, or any party, who might have touched you

My pulse pounds in my ears. My breath becomes shaky.

Me

Why is that?

Hades

So that I could find them and fucking kill them

There’s no “lol” at the end of that statement. No funny gif. No cute emoji.

It’s not a joke. He’s legitimately that insane, and dangerous, and more than capable of doing that. And apparently, I’mfarmore than capable of getting wetter than rain when he says shit like that.

Me

You’d seriously kill someone for touching me?

Hades

yes

Me

That’s ALL?? Just for touching me?

Hades

Does there need to be any other reason

I stare at the screen, eyes bugging out of my face, my mouth hanging open.

And my panties a fuckingmess.

Maybe there really is something off with Hades. Maybe he’s even more of a psycho—like, legitimately so—than I’ve ever guessed. But if he is, then there’s a strong chance, given how much this whole act is turning me on, that I am, too.

Hades

and you’re deflecting. we were talking about your ass missing me
