“I was looking for a tampon.”
“You don’t have your period.”
“It’s for you.”
Something thumped against the door.
“Eventually, counting to ten is going to stop working,” he said.“Then what are you going to do?”
“Run faster?Buy a taser?”
“Open the door, Wrenly.”
“Open the door, Wrenly.Come here, Wrenly.Sit down and shut up, Wrenly.”
“I never said that.”
“But each time you order me around, that’s what I hear!”
“Will you please open the door?Please?”
I knew I couldn’t stay in the bathroom forever.I just hated that he was waiting on the other side.Then I realized he’d given me the golden ticket.
“What’ll you give me?”
“What do you want?”
“Nope, that’s not how it’s going to work this time.You need to offer something up.Be creative.”
I heard another thump on the other side of the door and grinned.
“I’ll make you breakfast tomorrow,” he said.“Anything you want.”
“No, thanks.”
“We can go for another run at lunch tomorrow.”
“I don’t need permission, remember?”
Another thump.
“What do you want?”
“I want you to understand that there’s nothing you can give me that I want.”
In the silence that followed, I heard my heart beating in my ears.Was I playing with fire?Yep.But I’d lived in survival mode for too long not to recognize the trap the Wulf family had quietly set for me, and I needed Bennett to know I wasn’t going to cooperate.The sooner he realized that, the faster he could let go.
“I’ll be waiting for you by the elevators.”
I gave it five minutes before I opened the door and walked out.
He had me against the wall and my hands pinned over my head the second I cleared the door.The look in his fully dilated eyes was a little unhinged as he stared at me.
“How were you not in constant trouble at school?”he said.
“Who said I wasn’t?You already know the teachers and cameras were wrong.”
“Are you purposely provoking me?”
