Tangled Love

I pad softly up the stairs, glancing down at my watch. Jake has officially been locked away in his room for almost four hours. Myra shocked us all with her outburst but I can't help agreeing with her. The feud between Jake and Tobias is exhausting and we all want it to come to an end. I pause in front of Jake's bedroom door before knocking on it.

A minute passes and there's no answer. I roll my eyes, knocking on it again.

"Are you ignoring me? Pfft," I huff, spinning on my heel. The door suddenly swings open and Jake grabs my arm, dragging me into his room. My eyes widen as he slams the door shut behind me, pinning me against the wall.

"Jake, what are you doing? You crazy —"

He lets out a frustrated groan before silencing me by crashing his lips against mine.

His kiss is hungry, needy and deep from the start. I wrap my hands in his hair once the shock quickly wears off. His hands travels down my body, in all the right places. I let out a small gasp inside his mouth and Jake pulls back, eyes hooded over. In one swift movement, I find myself being lifted from the ground and carried towards the bed.

Okay, this escalated real fast.

He places me down, nestling between my legs before placing soft kisses down my neck. The feel of his lips caused me to arch my body into him, loving the way he feels against me. My body lights up in flames, the passion between us both so strong. I can feel Jake's breathing shallow out as he pulls back, a frown on his face.

"I don't want to hurt you," he breathes out uneasily, tugging at his hair with his hands. I sigh and looked away, blinking.

"Even with Jones dead, he still finds a way to ruin my life." I whisper, feeling my stomach twist with knots. Every time I feel pain, it reminds me of Jones and what he did to me. In a sick way, it's almost like he planned it to be this way. So I can never forget him.
