The Girl He Marked by Laila Callaway novel Chapter 1

10 

Myra‘s POV. 

Even if I were not dressed as I am, I would be surprised to see Jayce here, he‘s practically the size of the front door anyway and he looms over me. 

We both stare at each other in shock, horror takes over as I watch his eyes go up and down, taking in my sultry outfit. My cheeks burn with embarrassment and I realize I‘m never going to be able to see him again after this, I‘ll just die. 

My heart begins beating rapidly as I see his eyes darken considerably, with desire? Hell no, it can‘t be. 

‘Um, hi, Jayce.‘ I look him up and down, relishing in the beautiful sight of his tattoos wrapping around his arms. 

There really is no other guy quite like him. 

‘I brought you your keys, you left them at work. 

His voice and face are completely neutral, devoid of emotion. He‘s very good at putting a mask on. 

‘Oh, wow, thank you. That‘s very sweet of you,‘ I reply, taking my keys from him. 

I almost want to laugh at the sight of this huge, muscular man holding some keys with a large, bright pink, fluffy pom pom key ring on them. 

‘No problem. He looks me up and down one last time before turning on his heel and walking back to his car. 

‘Thank you!‘ I call out again and shut the door. 

When I turn around, Jasper is stood with his arms crossed, smirking at me in the hall. 

“What?” I ask innocently and put my keys in my clutch. 

‘He‘s delicious, Jasper comments and I sigh despondently. 

‘He‘s uninterested, I reply and walk past him into the kitchen to pour myself a drink, Jasper follows me. 

‘What do you mean uninterested? In you? I don‘t think so!‘ Aria comments as they sit down at the is land. 

“He‘s uninterested in everyone I think, I‘ve never met a man so brooding and mysterious, you‘re lucky to. get more than one word answers out of him, Texplain and Aria nods sympathetically whilst Jasper‘s eyes light up. 

I love them when they‘re complicated, he declares dreamily, resting his chin on his hand. 

‘Well, he brings a whole new meaning to the word complicated. He‘s rude at times, nice at others, can‘t tell whether he has a girlfriend so he‘s just uninterested in even talking to anyone else, or whether he‘s that cold and closed off with everyone! 

I pour us all vodka lemonades and push the glasses towards everyone. 

I bet it‘s with everyone, it‘s your job to make him open up. Aria suggests and a glint of sin gleams in Jasper‘s eyes. 

‘Oh, I‘d love to see him open up, he comments suggestively and I roll my eyes at him.
