Chapter 89

My action causes Edward to spring into action, because suddenly my hand is pinned against the wall behind me by a strong hand around my wrist and his lips leave mine with a distressed grunt. We are both gasping for breath and, although I can't see much in the darkness, I see that his eyes are closed in deep concentration and what looks to be agonizing pain. My heart is racing in my chest and I can feel my eyelids blink repeatedly in concentration as I try to cool my burning body. This is getting out of hand, we are in a public place for God's sake. I can feel my cheeks heat in embarrassment. Did anyone see us disappear into this room? My stomach sinks. Jake. He must have seen us. I'm momentarily distracted when Edward's eyes open and lock on mine. My entire body trembles as I feel the power of his Beta rise as his eyes blaze into mine.
