CHAPTER 202
~Tempest's POV~
"No," he said firmly. "Talk to me. Are you… Are you with him?"
"No," I admitted. "Not really. But…"
"But what?"
I hesitated, my emotions a tangled mess. "I don't know," I said finally. "I like him, though, and although what we agreed to have was just a fling, I felt something for him, and I know he does too. Or maybe he doesn't feel the same way and I am overthinking things."
Koda's voice softened. "Tempest...?" I shook my head, even though he couldn't see me. "Then stop doubting yourself," he said gently. "Stop doubting us."
His words swept over me, shattering the barriers I'd erected around myself.
"Okay," I whispered.
"I'll let you settle your feelings and if after you have you want to give us a chance to know each other, let me know. And if you don't…?"
"If I don't?" I asked, my voice steadier now.
