Never His Girl (Kings of Cypress Prep #2) - Rachel Jonas Page 0,103
on my good side, and if you want to keep your sister safe, you’d better do a damn good job of convincing him to move the fuck on without you.”
My brow tenses when I finally dare to face him head on. “How? How the hell am I supposed to do that?”
The nonchalant shrug he gives contrasts the acutely wicked response that follows.
“Get creative! You have his heart, don’t you? So, break it. Crush it if you have to,” he offers casually. “It’s on you to make him believe you don’t want him. Either that, or might I suggest that you make peace with the idea of watching your sister being ripped from your arms. Then, after you’ve lost everything, I’ll see to it that you disappear so deep within my abyss it’ll be like you never… even… existed.”
I can hardly breathe, and he feeds on my fear. It’s exactly what he wanted, exactly what he knew it would take for me to comply.
“My son is inherently strong-willed,” he points out, “so I’m giving you a couple months. If you fail, or if I so much as hear a whisper about the two of you still fucking around, you know what’s coming for you.”
His stare stays trained on me a moment longer, then he releases me. I don’t waste any time, sprinting toward the house as fast as I can, slamming and locking the door behind me. As my body slumps against the wall, my thoughts are in an uncontrolled freefall.
My first encounter with Vin Golden was a disastrous one, resulting in me being torn between two impossible options. He’s asked me to break the son he’s already broken so many times, the one I want so badly to heal. But with what I stand to lose if I don’t, the choice is terrifyingly clear.
To protect my sister, I’ll be forced to do something I swore I never would. If I can’t come up with another option in two short months, not only will I have to break West’s heart, I’ll have to grind it to dust.
So fine he’s guaranteed to hate me forever.
In hindsight, it seems we were doomed from the start, destined to cause one another unspeakable pain, even when we don’t mean to.
All because, maybe… I was never meant to be his girl.
@QweenPandora: What in the Freaky Friday, Wife Swap madness is going on tonight?
Have we slipped into an alternate reality and no one told me about it? On one side of town, we have NewGirl dining out with SeXyBeAsT, and a few hours north, KingMidas is sipping lattes with a random. Can someone explain? Am I losing it or is the universe screwing with me?
Whatever the case, there doesn’t seem to be anything too scandalous going on, but you never can tell in Cypress Pointe. We’ll keep our eyes open for new developments, and if anything changes, you know where to turn for updates.
Until next time, peeps! ;)

SOUNDTRACK
(Listed in no particular order)
Music is a very integral part of my writing process, and I carefully choose songs that fuel each scene. The lyrics may not always be spot on, but sometimes it’s more about the emotion evoked. While writing The Vampire’s Mark, I selected music that brought out the intense emotions Cori felt during various scenes throughout her journey. I hope this list enhances the reading experience for you, like it did for me while writing.
Note: Piracy is unlawful, and using sites where music can be downloaded for free is equivalent to stealing from the musician. Buying the song or album directly from the artist will always be the best way to show support and appreciation for the artist’s work.
