Chapter 546

• “No. Don’t touch me unless you’re going to have sex with me! Do you have any idea how it feels having you go from being unable to keep your hands off me to this?” I wipe the tear away from my chin angrily, moving anytime he tries to catch hold of me. Every frustration of the past few weeks is bubbling to the surface in an extreme emotional breakdown and raging insecurity, raising an ugly, tortured head.

• “I want the Jake Carrero with zero ability to stop lust and love consuming him. Where is he? The guy who screwed me in the back of a limo and the guy who pushed me against a hotel wall. Because that’s who I fucking need!” I’m stomping around, waving my hands, letting all fury loose, Teen Emma throwing her ponytail back in defiance.
