The setup: Jane (blue font) and Mary (pink font) are in the ladies room talking about where to stay while they are in Sedona...
“Hey, sorry about leaving you to get a room on your own last night, I was so tired I could barely think. I was going to offer to split the bill with you, but then Bryce suggested he take the bill completely and you and Sarah can share the room.” I quickly spit my words out and cringe, waiting for her to hotly reject anything from him.
“That won’t be necessary,” she says distractedly holding up outfits for Ginny to pick. I open my mouth to argue, her stubbornness can be frustrating sometimes, but she continues, stopping me before I can get a sound out, “I stayed at the cabin with Alex.” She smiles up at Ginny still trying to get her to return a smile, “and he said I can stay as long as I’d like,” the smile on her face is making her voice come out dreamy-like.
“Oh.” I didn't expect that.
"You're okay with that right?" she asks and looks at me with her perfected faux innocent look perhaps forgetting that I can tell the difference.
Strange.
“Yeah, of course, whatever is comfortable for you.”

Synopsis
A cursed plague is spreading across the land. Crops are rotting. People are dying in the streets. Sora, with the help of her magical Cat's Eye necklace, is the only one who can stop it.
She must travel overseas to the Lost Isles, a place of legend and mystery. Only there can she destroy the bloodmage, Volcrian, putting an end to the curse. She is accompanied by Crash, a lethal assassin who once threatened—and saved—her life. But Sora is beginning to question her dark companion. He seems to be carrying a secret; a hidden past that could endanger them all.
Meanwhile, they are hunted by an underground society known as the Shade. For centuries, the Shade has waited for the perfect opportunity to step into the light.

He exhales and puts them back in giving me a firm look not to challenge him, "You do need them," he stops to give me that firm look again when I open my mouth to argue, "I want to be the only one knowing what you're wearing under these jeans." He runs his hand over my backside with a strong hand slowly pulling away leaving me a mushy mess ready to say yes to anything else he wants me to wear if he promises to touch me like that again.

“Shhh,” he soothes into my ear, rubbing the back of my head
with one hand while holding me tightly to him with the other. For a moment I forget
everything that’s happened between us. I forget that Bryce is sitting just a
few feet behind us, watching. All I can do is soak up Alex’s touch. “I’m here,
baby, everything’s gona be alright,” he coos and suddenly I’m angry.
“How can you say that?” I demand trying to pull away, but Alex tightens
his hold on me. “The doctors won’t even say that,” I cry out shaking my head.
