SOPHIA'S POV
I could hear my own heart racing, just from hearing that sentence fall off his lips. While struggling to balance my breathing, I still couldn't understand why he had this sort of effect on me.
I wouldn't call the times I had caught myself in this situation a mistake, but if I'm being honest with myself, they were times that felt too wrong to even be justified. Times I shouldn't deliberately nor consciously repeat again, especially now, when I was suddenly faced with the possible reality of Marcus' loyalty. A betrayal like this, to a guy like Marcus, would completely shatter him and I don't want to be the girl to do that; the girl to turn a good guy into an unspeakable monster.
