Chapter 99 For Beth (2)

• WAYLEN
• I grabbed her wrists before her hands connected to my chest in a second punch. My lips captured hers in a bruising, demanding kiss.
• “My emotions got the best of me, baby,” I admitted. Having an animalistic side meant behaving like a fucking fool sometimes. A moron. Beth’s eyes softened, but she didn’t return to touching me. I craved her touch, her essence. “Malik is delusional to think he can fuck you. Ignore him. I’m sure he has a guest room. You’ll stay there, Beth.”
