Chapter: Why do I feel this way? Reyna's POV I found John in the kitchen, leaning against the counter with his arms crossed. The sharp clink of a glass being set down broke the silence as I stepped in.“You have something to say?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.He didn’t look at me, his gaze fixed on the floor. “Do you?”I folded my arms, leaning against the doorway. “If you’re upset about something, just say it.”John finally looked up, his eyes piercing. “You think I didn’t see you out there with him?”I froze, my stomach twisting. “It wasn’t what it looked like.”He let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. “You’re really going with that?”“It wasn’t!” My voice rose, frustration bubbling to the surface. “We were just talking.”“Talking,” he repeated, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Sure. Because standing that close, with him looking at you like that, is just friendly conversation.”I took a step closer, anger flaring. “You don’t get to make assumptions, John. You don’t know what’s going on.”“Then tell

Chapter: The ReckoningJake's POVI leaned against the doorframe, watching Reyna shuffle past me. Her shoulders were tense, and she moved like she was trying to outrun the weight on her shoulders. I didn’t stop her. Instead, I trailed behind, keeping my steps light.Dinner was the last thing on her mind—hell, it was the last thing on mine—but if sitting across the table gave me even a sliver of a chance to break through that wall she was building, I’d take it.She was so damn stubborn.By the time we reached the kitchen, the smell of roasted chicken and herbs filled the air, but I barely noticed. Reyna slipped into her seat, avoiding my eyes, while John was already there, staring daggers in my direction.“Late, as usual,” John muttered, his fork clinking against his plate.“Miss me that much?” I shot back, dropping into a chair opposite him.Reyna flinched, her hand tightening around her glass of water. She hated this—hated being in the middle of whatever grudge John and I were nursing—but she wasn’t saying

Chapter: I Miss You.. Warning 18+Reyna's POV The moment we were alone, his hands found my waist, pulling me close. His grip was firm, possessive, and his touch sent a faint shiver down my spine.“I missed you,” he murmured, his voice low and warm, his breath grazing my ear.“I missed you too,” I replied, though my voice felt hollow. My chest tightened, suffocating under the weight of his words.John’s fingers slid up my sides, tracing the curve of my ribs. He tilted my chin up with a knuckle, forcing me to meet his gaze. “You scared me, you know? When they took you…” His voice faltered, rough with emotion. “I thought I’d lost you.”“You didn’t,” I whispered, forcing a smile, though my heart felt numb.He pressed his forehead against mine, his hands tightening. “I need you,” he said softly, his lips hovering over mine.When his lips finally brushed against mine, I kissed him back, desperate to feel something. His hands roamed up my back, threading into my hair. His touch grew hungry, his teeth grazing my bottom lip a

Chapter: Making out with JakeReyna's POVJake’s lips crashed into mine with a force that sent my thoughts scattering. His hands cupped my face, his grip firm but trembling, as if he was afraid I’d pull away.For a moment, I froze. The world around us blurred—there was no fire, no camp, no shadows, only him. His kiss was desperate, raw, like he’d been holding back for a lifetime.And maybe he had.I couldn’t move. I couldn’t think. I could only feel—his lips soft but insistent, his warmth overwhelming, the way he poured every unspoken emotion into the kiss.When I finally remembered how to breathe, I pressed my hands against his chest, intending to push him away. But instead, my fingers curled into the fabric of his shirt, betraying me. My heart screamed at me to stop, but something deeper, something primal, wouldn’t let me.This wasn’t just a kiss. It was a confession, a breaking point, a plea.When he pulled back, his breathing ragged, he didn’t release me. His forehead rested against mine, his hands still cradl
