Wreck Me - Page 180

“Not anymore.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Shh, it’s not your fault. Were you worried?”

“Of course I was.”

I elbow him playfully. “So girlfriend, huh?”

“A problem that I proclaimed that?”

“Nope, but stop making people crazy when they’re here to help you.”

He chuckles, and I caress his jaw while his face beams with pride.

“What is it with you and labels?” I ask.

“It gives you something to aspire to.”

“So you aspire to be what, exactly?”

“To be your every humanly invented label and more.”

My heart never stood a chance with him and with acceptance comes contentment—we were born to be together and made for each other.

“Are you sure you didn’t hit your head and turn into a poet?”

“My hand itches to spank you again and see your ass cheeks jiggle.”

His dick makes a tent, and I laugh so hard I snort.

“You’re an evil woman.”

“Not my fault you’re picturing my ass.”

He groans low in his throat as he pulls my face to his and devours my lips. A loud knock followed by Dane’s team and parents stepping inside the room interrupts our kiss. I feel my face heat while Dane wears a relaxed expression.

“Mom, Dad, I’m going to marry her.”

“Dane…” I shush him.

The worried glances vanish when they look from him to me. We must be quite the pair. Me beet red, him grinning like a Cheshire cat.

“I should leave,” I say quickly.

“Come back. I’m in pain.”

I arch a brow at him, letting him know I am on to him. Yet, I mouth, “I’ll sneak in later.”

Then I say goodbye to his parents. His mother thanks me for being there, and it kills me. I’m sure if Elena knew, she wouldn’t thank me at all. I nod with a strained smile and lean on the wall next to his room.

You went for the wrong person. Not him. I will rain hell on you, Felix.

When Abigail leaves, I feel the loss penetrating my bones. I know her well enough. She’ll probably do what she does, trying to protect me by staying away.

That is not going to work.

I’m not letting her do that again. If I knew, I would have put a stop to it from the very start. I get the Family is fucking dangerous. I’m lying in a hospital bed. I could have died, but I am harder to kill than that, asshole.
