~ JESSE ~
His upper lip twitched like he would sneer, but he kept blinking like I'd taken him by surprise. And his brows pinched down towards a frown.
He didn't speak- not out loud, and not in the bond. Just stared at me, searching my eyes.
"You submit to my choice?"
"In everything, Cazz," I breathed. "I know you- I know your heart. It's bound to mine. I trust that man- that male. I trust that King."
His breath caught and I saw his resolve waver. Please, God. Please. I leaned in closer until my lips almost brushed his. "I'm here, Cazz. I'm yours. You're safe with me. And I'm… I'm safe with you. I know that." My voice almost failed on the last one. But Cazz hissed like I'd burned him.
His hands came up to cup my face, one finger tracing along my lower lip, the fingers of the other curling into the back of my neck. I didn't move. Didn't fight him.
