I woke up in his bed, wrapped in soft sheets, my body still aching from last night.
It wasn't the first time we'd been together… but last night was different. It felt raw. Wild. Like everything we'd been holding back finally exploded all at once. I chuckled softly, brushing my tangled black hair behind my ear.
When he was inside me, it wasn't just physical — it was like we were meant to be connected, like our bodies had always belonged together. The way his green eyes locked with mine… damn.
For the first time in years, I felt wanted. Not used. Not pitied. Wanted.
And the craziest thing?
I think I love him.
How could I not? After everything. After that line:"I would burn the world for you. Even if you burn mine."Who says things like that anymore? Romantic. Dramatic. Perfect. Damn sexy.
As I was lost in my thoughts, Jason walked back into the room wearing soft gray pajamas, a tray balanced in his hands — two cups of hot coffee, fresh chocolate croissants, orange juice and cookies .
Its a royal breakfast or what still i LOVE IT ...
"Good morning, babe," he said, setting the tray down on the side table with that killer smile. "Figured we should eat… maybe start planning what we're gonna do next."
I clutched the blanket tighter around me, playfully shy, even though he'd already seen every inch of me.
"No, Jason… don't get involved. This is my war. My battle. My revenge I don't want you dragged into it."
But he shook his head and sat beside me, eyes burning with something fierce."I am involved, Scarlett. I've been involved since I chose to stay silent back then. Since I watched them break you and said nothing. And I'm not making that mistake again. I'm with you now. No matter what."
I blinked hard, swallowing down emotions I wasn't used to feeling.
I stood up, the blanket trailing behind me, and walked over to him. I cupped his face, kissed him slow, deep, full of everything I couldn't say with words.
Then I whispered against his lips:"I forgive you."
And in that moment, we were born.
Not just Scarlett.Not just Jason.Us. Together.
The powerful couple. The storm coming for them.
But before that…
I needed to apologize to Julia. No matter how much I justified it, what I did was wrong.
And if I was really going to burn everything down —I needed to start with the truth.
