Chapter 16

• Zayne
• I watch Maija as she walks towards the kitchen. Although I would love to be with her, I know she needs time and space away from me right now. I sigh before turning to find Sienna. She stands still in the middle of the room, faces frozen until she sees me.
• “Baby,” she squeals, running over to hug me. Man, I really need to have a conversation with her, one with our clothes on. She drags me to the sofa, and I hand her the drink before taking a sip of mine and sitting. Sienna jumps in my lap. This is usually what we do whenever we are at parties together, except in the past, my hands would be exploring under her skirt by now. I am not in the mood today because all I can think about is Maija. I scan the room, hoping to find her, but she has not returned. A minute or two later, she exits the kitchen laughing as she talks to someone who looks familiar, but I cannot remember his name. My muscles tense as I watch them, and I feel that sharp pang of jealousy seeping in again. I have a strong desire to throw her over my shoulders and take her home, but after what I pulled tonight, that would piss her off more than she is right now.
