Chapter 136: Complications Part 2

"So..." Jace strums his fingers once they're gone. "What now?"

"Would anyone like more Hunnis?" Mallup walks around the table, already filling bowls. She pauses next to Reid but looks at me with a vindictive smile. "I am sorry, but you cannot have any. It will counter the treatment."

"Did you hear me say I wanted any?"

A sudden, palpable intensity fills the air.

"I just wanted you to know you could not," Mallup sneers, leaning closely to Reid as she fills his cup. She rubs up and down his arm, biting her lip in the same suggestive pout, "let me know if there is anything else you would like from me."

Blood boils through my body at the sight of her touching him. Again. I've given her enough chances and excuses but she obviously isn't getting it. Reid tried to make it clear for her, but I guess it's up to me now.
