Ryder's POV of Chapter Ten:
As I take Layla into the shed, I immediately feel lìke this is a mistake.
She wasn't ready.
I can feel the fear radiating off of her.
I am so fucking stupid.
I thought she was ready too soon.
Fear enters my own body.
Fear that I ruined what we had.
Fear that she will never accept me.
Fear that she will be afraid of me.
And she quickly validates that fear as I call out to her.
The look she gives me is enough to feel like I am being punched in the gut.
She's looking at me in horror, and disgust.
I disgust her.
Pain shoots through my body.
The urge to drop to my knees and beg her to accept me courses through me.
But quickly vanishes as I hear the mocking voices, louder than ever before.
Laughing.
They're laughing.
At me.
For being weak.
For not being able to make a woman love me.
For the fact that she's disgusted with me.
For the fact that I will never be what she wants.
Reminding me how pathetic and disgusting I am.
I cannot show her this weakness.
So I steel my gaze, seeming unaffected.
Refusing to show how deeply the look on her face cut me.
I tell her to come to me, trying to get closer to her, as she puts her hands up, screaming for me to stay away.
