Cal's POV
Heat was coursing through my blood as I looked at the beautiful girl next to me.
Our relationship had been tense lately, and I knew that I should be protecting myself. However, I also knew that I couldn't. As soon as I had seen her cry yesterday, I knew it was a lost cause.
Her hurting, hurt me. And I would do anything not to have her feel that way again.
Right now, I wasn't thinking about hurting in any sense, unless you counted the bulge rubbing against my zipper.
"Let's get out of here," I said in a low voice, loving the way that Lena's eyes widened at my words.
Her cheeks started to flush, making me smile again. I loved when she reacted to me. And when she gave me the tiniest of nods, I didn't even hesitate to stand up, pulling her up with me.
Even if we just went somewhere private for a moment…just to take the edge off.
