Chapter 89

• My action causes Edward to spring into action, because suddenly my hand is pinned against the wall behind me by a strong hand around my wrist and his lips leave mine with a distressed grunt. We are both gasping for breath and, although I can't see much in the darkness, I see that his eyes are closed in deep concentration and what looks to be agonizing pain. My heart is racing in my chest and I can feel my eyelids blink repeatedly in concentration as I try to cool my burning body. This is getting out of hand, we are in a public place for God's sake. I can feel my cheeks heat in embarrassment. Did anyone see us disappear into this room? My stomach sinks. Jake. He must have seen us.
• I'm momentarily distracted when Edward's eyes open and lock on mine. My entire body trembles as I feel the power of his Beta rise as his eyes blaze into mine.
• "You are mine," he commands between clenched teeth.
