THE NEXT MORNING is awkward to say the least. At least for me it is. I do everything in my power to avoid Cal on the bus, always finding a reason to leave the room when he enters it. Unfortunately, there are only so many places to go. At this point, I know Alex has picked up on the tension from me and knows that whatever was bothering me last night directly involves Cal. He thinks I don’t notice, but I see him studying me trying to put the pieces together. I pray he never finds out. I’m ashamed enough as it is.

“Elizabeth,” I hear Cal yelling from the bedroom. A cold chill runs down my spine at having to face him. Reluctantly, I walk down the hall toward the bedroom. When I enter, I raise my eyebrows acknowledging the request of my appearance. I don’t trust my voice not to betray me if I were to speak to him right now.

“Aaron is going to meet us before my interview to run over some things for the remainder of the week.” A nod is my only response before I turn around to leave. “Elizabeth,” Cal says in a stern voice, stopping me in my tracks.

Swallowing hard, I say, “Yes, dear.” I twist my head around to look at him over my shoulder.

“Are you forgetting something?”

Spinning around to face him, I know my face gives away the confusion I feel. He crooks his finger at me, beckoning me to him. Pushing back the memories of last night, I slowly make my way to him. When I’m within his reach, he curls his arm around my back and pulls me up against him harshly. There’s no affection in the way he holds me to him. The smell of his pine cologne, the feel of his body on mine, and the arrogant look on his face causes my stomach to roll in protest. “Don’t I get a kiss this morning?” Mustering up every piece of strength I have, I give him a small peck on the lips without hurling on the spot. I pull away but don’t get far with Cal’s arm still firmly locked around my back. “You better kiss me like you mean it, Elizabeth.” His eyes momentarily flash with the same callous look from last night, but it disappears as quickly as it appeared.

I work hard to hide the revulsion I feel, the way he treated me last night still too fresh in my mind to fake the love and devotion he expects to see from me. Standing on my toes, I lean in to kiss him when I’m met with such force it knocks the air out of me. My eyes widen in surprise as Cal’s tongue plunges into my mouth. There is nothing sweet or loving about this kiss. It’s dominating, controlling, cold.

Cruel.

The type of kiss that feels like a punishment. His lips are hard on mine as he moves his tongue in and out of my mouth in rough strokes.
