Chloe's POV
I roll over, disentangling myself from the sheets as I perch up on my elbow. I come face to face with Alex, and I don't miss the way his eyebrows lower as he takes in my sullen face. Just rolling over has me gasping for breath but I ignore it as I use my energy to glower at him.
"What do you want?" I grit out , hating how hoarse my voice sounds. Alex's eyes focus on mine and I watch his eyes leak confusion at my words.
"Did you not hear what I said?" The way he asks it, it's almost as if he doesn't know whether to be upset or relieved.
"I heard what you said, asshole," I mutter rolling my eyes. I try to ignore the way my words make his eyes flash in hurt, until it's concealed in steely resolve that has me curious. "But what do you want. Nothing in this world comes free."
Alex frowns before answering, "I told you what I want. When you reject me, be gentle."
