I don't like you and how many times do I have to shout it in front of you just to make you understand that I don't like you? I don't love you and that's the last thing I will ever do!"

His gaze darkened and he slowly leaned over as his teeth grazed her neck. A moan escaped her lips and she leaned her head away to give him more access to her neck. “Answer me!” His voice vibrated around her neck. Her chest heaved up and down and she tried to calm herself as he whispered, "You are mine, Hazel." “No, I am not. Because I am in love with your brother and I belong to him!"
