Chapter 45

Girl talk.

"I don't know what you're ..." I stutter and pause, not able to finish my sentence. Alexandra widens her eyes, grabs me and then proceeds to drag me through the crowd. "Hold on, what about your flowers?"

"Don't worry, no one wants them anyway," she shouts, through the noise around us. I have no idea where she's taking me, but I'm still burning up and my skin's hypersensitive. Violent waves of jealousy are rolling through my system. Jorgen's a coward, hiding behind Cassandra and I hate that he kissed me now.

Moments later, we enter an empty building in the square. My heart's still pounding away in my chest. The slow throbbing between my legs is making me want to bury myself underground and never come out-it's so embarrassing. Alexandra's married, but she must have sensed my fire magic and the fact that I can barely control myself. This isn't supposed to be happening to me.
