.Right?" he asked, moving his hands away from her neck to squeeze the top of her arms again.Jenna couldn't find the words to speak until he shook her and shoved her against the locker behind her, sending a clatter of clanging metal echoing through the room, as pain shot across her back."Right, Chase.Right," she answered, tears suddenly sprouting from her eyes."Good, glad you understand me.And stop crying.You weren't too terrible when I fucked you.You should be thanking me for doing you the favor," he sneered out, releasing her roughly.He walked away and Jenna slid down the cool metal until she was sitting on the floor of the empty locker room and cried by herself.She wrapped her arms around her knees and allowed herself a moment of sheer painful sadness before collecting her emotions so she could be prepared to act as though nothing had happened.Jenna did a great job of pretending that everything was fine for that whole school year, even if she was hurting and terrified inside.Chase got his scholarship to the University of Georgia, after making sure Jenna got her dad to put in a good word for him.No one but she and Chase knew what he'd done to her.She'd worked as hard as she could to take the opportunity to graduate early and go to Duke.Her father didn't understand why she wanted to leave him so quickly.Why she wouldn't go to the University of Georgia and stay nearby.Yet, the mere idea of another year at the site of her ultimate humiliation, or of going to the same college as Chase, made her feel sick to her stomach.So she ran the first chance she got.Jenna had let herself down, but more than that, she was horrified to know that she'd failed to honor the words of guidance her mother had given her.Sitting there in her office so many years later, Jenna could still feel the moist dirt seeping through her jeans and chilling her knees when she had knelt on the ground to say good-bye to her mother's grave the day before she left for college at just seventeen years old."Momma, I'm so so-rry," she had said to the tombstone she'd visited so many times before."I know you want me to stay here and watch after Dad…but I just ca-an't.I failed, momma.I screwed up.I got fooled, and now I have to leave.I just do."Jenna did disappear, but Chase Matthews didn't.He popped up in her life again, like a mean and hateful penny.Nine years had passed by the time he came to visit her in Atlanta.Her stomach twisted at the memory of seeing him again.Jenna had only recently begun her internship at Emory after wrapping up medical school at Duke.Somehow, Chase knew she had connections at the Atlanta Falcons, and he got her to use them on his behalf to get a leg up toward a position as their backup quarterback.Part of her wanted to say no to him.She felt confident that her father had shaken his bad gambling habit, but she couldn't bear the idea of risking his career, no matter how slight that chance may be.On top of that, there was the terror of letting her father know of her failure in trusting a creep like Chase, and keeping so many secrets from him for so long.It was wiser — and easier — to just oblige Chase again.Just the thought of being near him made Jenna feel sick with fear.She had to run and begin a new life again.This time she fled to Pittsburgh to help Tea after transferring to UPMC.All she wanted was to try to build something great for herself that would make her mother proud.She felt like she was finally close to making that happen.This plan left no room for dreaming about a man like Wyatt McCoy.Because, it wasn't him or the rest of the stream of athletes she ran into over the years that she didn't trust — it was herself.She'd been fortunate enough not to hear from Chase for several years.Part of her worried he would find her and torment her again, but she ignored those thoughts.Instead she preferred to believe that her life was now her own — and she wanted to keep it that way.Yet, she had no control of her mind where Wyatt Alejandro McCoy was concerned.She kept thinking about him and it was infuriating to her.Jenna didn't even know him [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
