“Learn,” he instructs.

I lay my head again in opposition to his chest and open the article. “This one is a favourite,” I clarify. “I used to be on a group of reporters. We got here to seek out out in regards to the principal of a faculty a few counties away, who was really working a drug ring.”

I shake my head in disgust.

“The Actual Life Walter White,” I learn the headline aloud. Then I snort. “I at all times disliked this headline.”

“Why?” Dae asks.

“As a result of, no less than at first, Walter White had a motive to begin making and promoting medication. This man was simply grasping.” I shake my head. I begin studying the article. “The hallways of Lincoln Hill Excessive look quite a bit totally different than they did a 12 months in the past …”

I pause as I keep in mind interviewing the varsity’s mother and father, college students, and lecturers. It took months to assemble the data and proof {that a} extremely revered principal, who was touted as zero-tolerance when it got here to bullying and medicines, was the largest legal within the faculty.

“What stays to be seen is how the adolescents who fell into Meyers’ twisted lure …” I path off once I hear Dae studying the phrases from behind me.

“I believed you needed me to learn to—” I cease once I flip round and see his eyes are closed.

He continues to state the article phrase for phrase, along with his eyes closed. I learn as he speaks.

“H-How are you doing that together with your eyes closed?”

His arms transfer from my breasts to my waist. Dae slowly peels his eyes open. “I instructed you I’ve learn all the pieces you’ve ever written.” A smile crests on his ridiculously good-looking face. “And I’ve a superb reminiscence.”

I look down at my cellphone and again up at him. “You couldn’t have presumably memorized each phrase of this text.”

That may be inconceivable.

“This one and each different article you’ve written, child.” He plucks the cellphone out of my hand.

I’m too surprised to maneuver as he locations my cellphone again on the counter. “How is that potential?”

I totally flip to him, sitting on my knees between his splayed legs. I do my greatest to disregard his erection.

“How may you might have memorized all of my articles? My mother, who reads and collects my articles, hasn’t executed that.”

My mother has a paper file the place she shops all of my articles.

He leans ahead, taking my waist in his arms earlier than kissing my neck. “I instructed you, I’m obsessive about you.”

My eyelids slowly fall closed. He’s not simply saying it, both. Dae shouldn’t be referring to the lovable obsession one refers to when discovering a brand new favourite music artist or a brand new restaurant you simply need to order from as soon as per week.

No.

It is a actual kind of obsession. The type that drives males to do insane issues.

I pull again to look him in his eyes. He meets my stare, permitting me to see the wide selection of feelings working by means of them. There’s a hearth that burns so rattling sizzling in these darkish swimming pools that, not for the primary time, worry of being burned alive by this man rises within me.

Run!

The sane a part of my thoughts screams at me to get the hell out of this now. To get out of this bathtub, put my garments on, and run again to the security of my condo.

But, one other a part of me is aware of that he’ll nonetheless discover me even when I try this. The look in Dae’s eyes tells me all the pieces I have to know. I can’t eliminate him or his obsession that simply.

Do I wish to?

“Does that scare you?” he asks, his lips proper subsequent to my ear earlier than he runs his enamel in opposition to that vein in my neck that throbs every time he’s shut.

“Sure,” I hiss out, and a full-body shudder runs by means of me. Then I believe higher of it. “No … it ought to s-scare me,” I stutter out.
