The walk back home didn’t do anything to help me cool off. In fact, it just made me even more angry. Especially since Jace walked so close to me that I felt like I was being suffocated by his massive body hovering over me. It got to the point where I even tried to physically push him farther away, which of course didn’t work. And that just made me even more furious.

Stalking into my apartment, I try to slam the door shut before Jace can get through. Or to slam it right into him. Or preferably both.

Neither plan works.

He just yanks up an arm and grabs the door before it can hit him. I grind my teeth as I release the handle and storm across the threshold. Jace follows with a casual smile on his face, as if none of this fazes him in the slightest. Nothing ever does.

“I’ve said it before, little demon,” Jace begins from behind me as he closes and locks the front door. “If you’re civil, I’m civil. So stop trying to ditch me.”

Stopping in the middle of the living room, I whirl around so fast that I almost knock over the potted plant next to the couch. Anger still courses through me, and the casual expression on Jace’s features is just making it worse.

“Then stop following me everywhere!” I snap back at him.

Jace shoots me a look while closing the distance between us. “You know I can’t do that. It’s literally my job to follow you everywhere.”

Deep down, I know that he’s right, of course. He has literally been hired to follow me everywhere. And none of that is his fault. But I’m too angry to be logical. Especially since Jace is… well, Jace.

I can never slip away from him like I always managed to do with my other bodyguards. And I can’t make him frustrated and drive him to quit like I did with all the others. And worst of all, he has somehow managed to make me like him, which none of the others ever even came close to doing.

And I fucking hate him for that.

“Then quit!” I scream back at him in response. The words tear out of my lungs with both anger and desperation.

Emotions flicker across Jace’s features for a second. But it’s too fast for me to decipher. Then that casual expression is back on his face again, and he shrugs.

“Can’t do that either,” he says.

Frustration rips through my insides as I stare up at him and snap, “I don’t want you here!”

“Unfortunately for you, that’s not up to you.”

“I don’t need you! I don’t need a fucking bodyguard.”

“Your father seems to disagree.”

“My father.” I practically spit out the words. Rage still courses through me like molten fire, and I start pacing back and forth on the floor, because if I don’t do something to expend all of the restlessness inside me, I’m going to explode. It feels as if lightning is flashing through my veins as I turn my head to meet Jace’s eyes while I continue pacing.
