Chapter Sixteen: Space

***

POV: *Jude*

***

I started the shower and shut the door to let the water heat up before I realized how stupid I had been. She had been so set to go into the office before she backed down. That wasn’t like her.

I had been too distracted by the guilt over what we had almost done that I didn’t see it. She practically pushed me into this room, and if I had been inside the shower, I wouldn’t have heard the door shut. With the water still running in the background, I pulled my phone out of the jeans I had already discarded on her floor.

Sure enough, she was nowhere to be found inside the house. D*mn it, Reign. I quickly shut off the running shower and dressed.

I balanced the phone between my ear and shoulder as her line went straight to voicemail. I knew it would. The last thing she wanted was for me to talk her out of it, not that I had been doing a good job of that before she practically shut the front door in my face.
