Colt. “Baby, I’m so—” “Shut the f**k up, Lila. I don’t want to hear it,” I bark, seething with rising anger. I want to think. I want to understand. I want to know what the f**k just happened right now. And what Rain meant by all that s**t she just said. My chest hurts. There’s a funny buzzing in my head, bleeding into my ears, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth. Rain… My submissive, pathetic Rain… She just— No. I shake my head, unable to process it. The anger I saw in her eyes. The hate in her words. The stinging pain of her slap. Maybe this is a prank. I look toward the door, expecting her to return any second and tell me it was all just a joke, that she didn’t mean any of it. Because my Rain isn’t like that with me. She doesn’t yell or lose patience. She’s softhearted, loya
