“You’re hurt, and I can’t guarantee I can be gentle with you right now.” My core spasm at the naughty threat in his voice. “I can handle it.” My voice is husky, and by the tic in his jaw, I know he hears it.

You’re mine, Daisy. Mine,” he grunts, a fierce possessiveness lacing his words.”

“I was never the best friend. I was always second choice, the friend who, somehow, always got left out, even when people didn’t mean to.

I want to help them dig the holes too, Mommy.” I scowl. Looks like I’ll need to have a talk with Jose about what he says in front of Camilla. She’s a sponge this one. “Oh no.
