Hailey couldn't think straight anymore. She couldn't understand why Jonah had suddenly turned warm and affectionate toward her.
They had already broken up. What did he want from her now?
She said quietly, "Go find someone else…"
Before she could finish, Jonah seized her jaw, his eyes dark with heat and intensity. "Who exactly do you want me to find?"
He could find anyone he wanted, whether Joanne or Hannah—it didn't matter.
His grip only grew tighter as he demanded, "Answer me."
Hailey didn't dare say a word. The look in his eyes was dangerous—like he was one step away from losing control.
Jonah stared at her, his gaze steady and unblinking. "Since we broke up, I haven't been with anyone," he told her.
Hailey's heart skipped a beat. What did he mean?
"I haven't touched another woman," he said.
She looked at him, stunned.
So, he hadn't slept with Joanne?
His thumb moved from her jaw to her lips, pressing harder than necessary as he dragged it across.
Her lips parted under the pressure, soft and flushed, and something about it made her breath hitch.
His voice came low and rough as he asked, "Are you coming over tonight?"
Hailey's mind was a mess. After a few seconds of hesitation, she shook her head. "No."
Jonah exhaled sharply, then leaned in and bit the corner of her lip.
She flinched with a soft gasp of pain.
He let go and warned her in a gravelly voice, "Hailey, you'd better not mess with me again. If you do, you won't like what happens next. Don't think I'm someone you can push around!"
Hailey had no idea what he was talking about. When had she ever messed with him?
Without a word, Hailey shoved a piece of meat into her mouth. "Eat, Aileen."
Meanwhile, Jonah stood in the kitchen, letting the cool air hit his face.
He couldn't go out there looking like this. Aileen was older now, and there were things she didn't need to see.
He pulled out his phone from his pocket and opened WhatsApp. He scrolled to a message from Peanut.
When he looked at her confession, he smiled.
Waiting one more night wouldn't kill him. Tomorrow, he would take her on a date.
There was no need to rush.
Once the heat in his body settled, Jonah stepped out of the kitchen and spotted Hailey and Aileen sitting together.
One was his sister, and the other was the girl he couldn't stop thinking of.
They were all he had left in this world.
