back in.
"Hey, Alyssa, come here. I want to introduce you to Misty and Heath."
I turn to face the platinum blond vision, and then I hold my hand out to shake his.
"I guess I should go mingle. It was nice meeting you, Thad."
He smiles, pulling my hand to his lips instead of shaking it, and then he plants a soft, sweet kiss on the back. "It was very nice to meet you, Alyssa."
The way he looks at me makes me blush again, and I turn away, happy that someone else is interested in me besides Kane - the asshole who left me naked in bed while he went to find his missing girlfriend.
Time to drink until I can quit thinking about him.
The howls of the drunk exude the howls of the wild as I giggle over every stupid joke told. Staggering, I make my way outside where Heath is standing.
"This is a great party," I slur.
He laughs, though nothing is funny, and I laugh too while hanging off the back deck overlooking the lake.
"I'm glad you came."
"Me too," I chirp while chugging another guzzle.
He smiles as he leans toward me, and a sick feeling strikes my gut right before he jerks me forward into a kiss. I push him back with all my strength to shove him off while wiping his slobber from my face.
"What the hell?" I scold. "You're married."
He laughs and shakes his head. "Lighten up. It's a party."
He starts toward me again, and I dart underneath his drunken grasp and rush down the stairs to escape him, happy to reach the yard.
"Alyssa, I can play this game," he chuckles out, and I start scouring the party in search of Thad, praying he's still here.
I'm not surprised when I don't find him - since I haven't seen him in hours - and I start running to escape the drunken fool following too close behind.
My phone buzzes, and I juggle it up to my ear, hoping it's Frankie getting ready to scoop in and save me.
"Are you seeing this?" I ask, though my drunken stupor has made my words sound unintelligible and malformed. "Where the hell are you already, Frankie? I need your help."
"Alyssa? Are you drunk?" Kane's voice sounds out, and I get all the sicker as silence steals my breath, his voice concreting my feet to the ground. "Alyssa, where are you?"
The music blares louder as several drunken people stagger out of the house, and then I feel arms wrapping around me far too tightly.
"Let me go!" I yell while struggling under Heath's grasp.
"I've got you now," he chuckles out.
"Alyssa, damn it! Where are you?!" Kane demands.
"I swear I'll break you like a damn twig if you don't let me go right now!" I screech.
My phone drops to the ground as I start trying to free myself from this asshole's grip. If I use my power on him, I'm breaking the law of the light. If I don't use it, I'll probably end up dealing a consequence that I'm not willing to face.
I finally get enough leverage to stomp his foot, making him yelp and loosen his grip, and giving me the chance to start running again. I cry out as I stumble and crash to the ground, but knowing that scum is right behind me, I pull myself up and start running again.
I look over my shoulder to see Heath gaining on me, and suddenly I'm brought to an abrupt halt as I slam into a hard body. New arms wrap around me to keep me from collapsing to the ground.
"Alyssa," Heath chuckles out from not far behind, but when I look up, I see the fury burning in Kane's eyes as his grip on me tightens.
Shit! How'd he find me?
"Kane," Heath murmurs in surprise as his groggy eyes zoom in.
"Heath," Kane strains out through gritted teeth. "I think you should get back to your wife, don't you?"
His grip tightens on me more when my legs try to give out, and Heath's eyes glaze over with fear as Kane stares him down.
"Um, yeah," the stupid ass murmurs, and then he turns to walk away, leaving me alone with the guy I damn near gave something I couldn't get back.
He breathes out heavily, watching Heath until he staggers off into the shadows, and then he looks down to
