Chapter 28

• Ambre
• Leaning against the bathroom door, Jayden stares at me without a word, as if the very act of forcing his way into the room was not part of his plan. His breath is short and his eyebrows are furrowed as he silently scrutinizes me, and I struggle not to feel unsettled by his presence. His imposing build, his erratic breathing, his intense gaze and the confidence he exudes... But his posture remains defensive, and it seems as if he is struggling with himself, trying to decide if he did the right thing by coming here.
• "Get out of here!" I hiss at him without even cracking a smile. I cross my arms over my chest and glare at him, doing my best to hide the emotions he stirs in me. There is a long silence after my request and I raise my eyebrows to let him know that he is far from welcome here.
