CHAPTER 55 Come Together

  ~ JESSE ~

  No matter how I tried, I couldn't figure out where I stood with Cazz.

  I had grown up on alert. I knew a man's anger, and a man's control. I understood intimidation and manipulation. But this wild swinging between sweet thoughtfulness, undeniable passion, and intense indifference… It had my head spinning. And my heart aching. Every day I rode a roller coaster of signals that had me convinced he was in love with me one minute, and loathed me the next. And no way to tell which was right.

  Because they couldn't both be true.

  Could they?

  The final blow came the next morning when I realized Cazz had been right and my cycle had started.
