Look, Jordan, youre not alone any more. Its my job to protect you while Im here and I cant do that if you keep pushing me away.Thats the problem, Michael, I shot back. You have more responsibilities to your boss than you do to me. You taught me how to defend myself, how to heal myself, and that should be good enough. You cant keep babysitting one little human when you have an entire cosmos to worry about. He faced me again, those green eyes boring into mine as if he could see straight through me. Are you saying you want me to leave?My chest tightened. I hadnt expected him to say that. I bit my bottom lip, glancing away. Thats not what I mean.Then what do you mean? Since when have I ever known what the hell I mean? He touched my right cheek, making me face him. You do when it counts.Staring up at him, shirtless, vulnerable, and wounded, I felt like I couldnt breathe. He had a knack for picking my walls apart brick by brick. It bothered me. He took a step closer, casting a shadow over me. Stop, I mumbled, fixing my eyes on the floor. He brushed a lock of hair behind my ear, sliding his warm hand to lift my chin so Id have to look at him. Stop what? he murmured. Looking at me.Why?Thats how Terrell used to look at me before we kissed.His lips parted to say something but I pushed past him, gathering up my duster from where it lay on the bed next to the dress. Get dressed. We have more ghosts to help.
