The Last Time I Cried Your Name novel Chapter 592

Just as the words registered in Jay's mind, a blur of red-faced panic lunged at him from his peripheral vision. Or rather, she lunged at the device currently trapped in his grip.

"Give that back! Thank you!"

She practically roared, though her aggressive tone sounded a lot closer to Go to hell!

Jay's reflexes were inhumanly fast. Right before she crashed into him, his thumb swiped the screen, ending the call and clearing the damning caller ID.

Amy slammed on the brakes, gripping the front passenger headrest to steady herself.

Half her body was leaning over the center console, bringing her inches from his face. From the sudden momentum, the silky lengths of her ponytail slid over her shoulder, the soft ends brushing gently back and forth across the back of Jay's hand.

Jay lowered his eyes, staring at the delicate strands sweeping over his skin. The muscle in his jaw twitched violently.

His face, however, remained a mask of flawless, chilling indifference as he extended the phone toward her. "You're welcome."

Amy's entire face was practically on fire. "I'll change the contact name when I get inside," she huffed defensively.

So what if he saw it? It wasn't like she'd committed a crime. She could just delete it later.

Besides, it wasn't a lie. Jay was the man she couldn't conquer.

Jay stared at her blazing red cheeks. The flush traveled past her jawline, down her neck, and disappeared beneath the crisp white collar of her blouse. She looked like she was about to combust.

For the first time, he spoke out of turn. "Change it to what?"

"None of your damn business," Amy snapped, snatching the phone from his grip.

She whirled around and stormed off, but froze the moment she heard the heavy thud of the car doors locking behind her.

Biting her lip, she scanned the cavernous, unfamiliar underground garage. "Which way?" she mumbled, totally lost.

They had taken so many turns on the way in, she hadn't paid attention. Plus, there were multiple access points to the main house.
