"You wouldn't dare," I said. I knew Jake was lying.
"Oh, but wouldn't I?" He was lying. He had to be. You can't just make that all up.
Or maybe he did make it all up. And everything was just a lie. Everything that I felt...that was just a big joke to him. I wanted to believe that he was lying. But it took 2 seconds of looking in his dark brown eyes. I wasn't home to him. I was just another perfectly decorated house.

The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man.

"You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)Complete
