I barely had time to draw a full breath…. Bexore a gunshot split through the estate.
I shoot upright in bed so fast it feels like my soul leaves my body for half a second as my heart slams violently against my ribs.
The sound of the gunshot still rings through my ears almost deafening me and for one terrifying moment, I can't breathe.
Oh God….something is wrong, horribly wrong.
"Zane…?"
But he's already gone…the empty space beside me sends a fresh wave of panic crashing over me as adrenaline floods my body so suddenly my hands start shaking.
I throw the sheets off me and stumble out of bed, my bare feet nearly tangling in the blankets as I try to make it for the door only to realize I'm naked, completely naked.
"Shit, shit, shit….."
My voice is barely above a frantic whisper a si drop to the floor, grabbing the first pieces of clothing I can find from last night.
My shirt and pants.
My fingers are trembling so badly it's hard to even pull the fabric where it needs to go.
