CHAPTER FIFTEEN

EDEN

Standing in my kitchen, I stare back at Hayden, feeling the color draining from my face. It feels like my stomach is going to fall out of the bottom of my body as my heart beats against my rib cage. We’re standing in the same kitchen where he laid me out on the counter and drove me past the point of oblivion.

Thankfully, Winter isn’t here for the night. She went out with Travis and told me she wouldn’t be home. She was planning on spending the night at his place, which is new for her, but I didn’t question her on it. It seems like they’re starting to get really close with one another and, to be honest, I’m really glad she isn’t here since Hayden fucking King decided to drop by.

A shallow, ragged breath slips from my lips and I don’t even bother attempting to hide the sound from him. He isn’t putting his heart on the meat block for me to chop it, but he’s giving me something that is more than he ever has before. Hayden is a sweet smooth talker. But the difference with him in this moment, is there’s nothing charming about the way he’s looking at me.

There’s no playfulness in his tone. After the words came from his mouth, it looked almost as if they shocked him as much as they shocked me. Like he didn’t plan on admitting that aloud, but once he spoke those words into the universe, they sucked every molecule of oxygen from the room.

“What?” I whisper, staring back at him as my eyebrows draw together. Hayden’s eyes desperately search mine as he nervously runs a hand through his tousled hair. I’ve never seen him like this before and I don’t like the way it’s making me feel.

The butterflies in my stomach need to go back into hibernation.

“I know you’ve been avoiding me, Eden,” he says quietly, tilting his head to the side as he slowly inches closer to me. I swallow hard as he enters my space, not stopping until the toes of his sneakers are touching the tips of my toes. “Tell me why.”

“Because I don’t like you,” I practically choke out, the words tasting bitter on my tongue. “I have no reason to see you.”

Hayden frowns, shaking his head as his eyes light up. His fingers are soft as he reaches out, brushing a piece of hair away from my face. “You can’t bullshit a bullshitter, baby,” he murmurs, his frown transforming into a smirk. “I’ll give you three tries to tell me the truth.”

“And if I don’t?”

The corners of his lips lift higher, his smile shining in his eyes. “Then I’ll just have to fuck the truth out of you.”

My breath catches in my throat. My heart skips a beat before it takes off, speed racing inside my chest. Judging by the way he’s looking at me right now, I know he’s the only one in this room that is actually telling the truth.

“Tell me why you’ve been avoiding me.
