Chapter Twenty-One

After coming back from the club, the guys went to bed. I hid in my room, staring at my ceiling and thinking too much until the sun began peeking through the skyscrapers. My mind wouldn’t shut off.

I was in the kitchen making tea when Waylon came out of the bedroom. He looked like he hadn’t gotten any sleep either.

“Rough night?” I asked.

He grunted, filling a glass with water.

“Your girlfriend is really sweet,” I said around the rim of my steaming tea, using its warmth to try to hide my real emotions.

“Sofia has her moments,” was his simple reply.

“Like you?”

“What do you want to say, Joslyn?”

“Nothing you’d like to hear.”

“Then it’s best you keep it to yourself.” Waylon’s scowl felt like a slap to the face. He turned away from me, giving me a view of his broad back as he filled his glass with water.

Unable to stop myself, I stepped closer to him, touching his back.

He whirled around enough to startle me. I jumped back, the hot tea sloshing over the rim and burning my hand.

“Shit.” He grabbed the cup and then my hand, wiping away the tea with a dishcloth.

“I’m fine,” I said, trying to pull away.

His grip tightened. “I want to make sure it didn’t burn.”

“Waylon,” I said softly, gaining his attention. “I’m fine.”

Once he loosened his hold, I slipped my hand out from his. Touching him was a bad idea. I held my hand out, showing the back.

“See. No damage. It isn’t even red.”

“How?”

“I’m fae, remember? We are a bit more durable.”

Waylon frowned as he stared at my hand. “Right. Fae.”

Sensing he needed distance from me, I moved to behind the counter, leaning against it as I watched him. “What are your plans today?” I asked.

“I have to see Sofia.”

“Right.” I stared down at the marble countertop. Being with Waylon felt so right, and very wrong at the same time. Sofia was an existence that hovered between us, and it was one I had no right to fight through. “I hope everything is going good with her?”

“What do you want from me?”

I was taken back by the anger in Waylon’s question. He was scowling at me again.

“I’m not sure what you mean.”

He clenched his teeth and slammed the cup into the sink. It shattered. I jumped at the sudden violence from him.

“I have a girlfriend, Joslyn. A long-term girlfriend and it’s serious. Or was. Then you showed up and now I don’t fucking know and that pisses me off.”

“Then don’t stay here. Don’t be around.”

“It isn’t that easy.”

“It is,” I pushed back. “It really fucking is.”

What is going on?

“Nothing.” I glanced at Berry as he stalked into the room, eyes on Waylon, the hairs on the back of his neck standing up.

Waylon released a breath. “It isn’t, though. Your existence seeps into me, Jo. It fills me. I can’t just walk away from you. And all this other shit...” He shook his head. “I can’t not be around you, but I can’t act like Jason or Foster.
