I was struck dumb and couldn't answer Jones's question to save my life.
Even though only a couple of minutes had passed, it felt like a bloody eternity.
While waiting for Damon to make a move, Jones suddenly leaned in and bit my neck, leaving a hickey on purpose. He gave me this complicated yet helpless look before getting up to open the door
Some of the tension inside me eased up, and at that moment, I just gave up resisting.
As for what happened next, it was a complete blur. When I came around, I was back in my apartment , all prim and proper with nothing amiss.
Hannah was by my side. The moment she saw me wake up, she immediately asked, "Ms. Brooks, you awake? You feeling alright?"
"I'm fine; who brought me back?" Right now, that was all I cared about.
"It was Mr. Jones who brought you back. What the hell happened?" Hannah asked, a little edgy.
After hearing her response, my heart tightened. Did he not open the door after all?
