When I hear the heavy metal door creak open, I already know it’s Cade. And it really pisses me off that he thought to look up here for me.

“Wow”—he glances around the rooftop of Saint Juliet—“I haven’t been up here since …”

“Since we were together. Blah, blah, blah.” I don’t want a stroll down memory lane. I have another annoying topic to address. “I really need you to stop trying to save the day, fix everything, and rescue me. Because that is not what I need or want. And that won’t change. I won’t change. You can remove the hero cape and take a break, SuperCade.”

He steps calmly beside me, leaning his elbows against the brick wall as he glances over towards the cemetery. “And what about what I want?”

“I don’t fucking care what you—”

Before I can get the word want out, he’s in front of me, his chest pressed to mine, my ass against the brick wall as he places a hand on either side of me. His lips brush against my chin before he drags his mouth along my jawline. “I will protect what’s mine. I will defend you. And if I was here because I thought I could change you, then I’d be an even bigger liar than the one in front of me.”

“You’re really insistent on pressing your luck. Don’t.”

I can hear the smile in his tone. “I love pressing your buttons.”

He’s too cocky. Too self-assured. Because he thinks he can save me from myself. But I know how this ends. And I know after I follow through with my punishment for my father, Cade won’t look at me the same. He calls me a monster, but that beast inside will truly have to emerge to see this through to the finale. And I will. There is no choice, and I wouldn’t take another option even if there were one. My father has to get what he deserves. Because it sets us all free—me, Ryder, Maddie, even my mom.

“Keep pressing and you’re gonna hit the wrong one.”

There’s no hesitation as his hand moves to the nape of my neck, his fingers pressing into my skin as he drags my mouth to his and kisses me. Then he breaks the contact to say, “All talk.”

“Try me.”

It’s one of the few times he catches me off guard by his response. “Okay.” And even more by surprise when he hops up on the waist-high wall and climbs to standing on the brick ledge. He balances himself before he takes a few steps.

“Ha, ha,” I respond, but when he acts like he’s about to lose his balance and fall three stories to the cement below, my stomach does deep roll or something twisty that I don’t like. “If you break your neck, you won’t have a very fun game tonight.”

“Is that all you’re worried about me breaking?” He continues to saunter across the ledge.

I fold my arms across my chest, watching his childish trek. “Maybe your dick too.”

His grin infuriates me because I don’t think this is funny.
