*Unedited teaser* *Subject to change* My eyes narrowed as I slowly reached forward so I wouldn't startle her. I wrapped my hands around hers as she gripped the gun and pulled her toward me until the cold barrel pressed against my bare chest. “Do it,” I whispered. “Fucking do it. Tell the world some crazy asshole locked you in his hotel room and forced himself on you. Trust me, they’ll believe you. But that’s not what happened, Ella. The truth is, you came back to my hotel room willingly. You spread your legs for a fucking stranger without even knowing his God damn name. You practically fucking begged me for it. And now you’re the one holding a gun and calling me crazy?” Her grip loosened and I slid the weapon from her hand. I immediately grabbed her shoulders and flipped over so I was on top of her, pinning her arms next to her head. I adjusted her arms so I was able to grip her wrists in one hand above her head, my other hand against her neck, forcing her to look me in the eye. “You want to kill me, Ella? Huh? You want to fucking kill me?” My grip tightened as she struggled to turn her head, my finger tips on her jaw so as to not cut off her air supply. Our lips were practically touching and under different circumstances her heavy panting would have turned me on. “I didn’t pull the trigger.” “You fucking should have because if you ever pull a stunt like that again,” My voice trailed off as her eyes filled with tears. “Don’t. You don’t get to be sad. You don’t get to be a fucking victim. YOU PUT A FUCKING GUN TO MY HEART!” “I’m not a victim,” her eyes narrowed, tears running down into her hair. I bit back my rage and lowered my voice so my words wouldn’t fall on deaf ears. “That girl… that girl in the picture…” I squeezed my eyes closed momentarily trying to calm my racing thoughts. I never talked about Katie to anyone. Her memories were mine alone. “She was a victim. She was… everything to me and she is dead because of it.” I felt the column of her throat move under my palm as she swallowed hard, her heart racing under my fingers. “So if you want to play the victim with me, Ella, I will fucking make you one.” **Pre-Order Rellik on Amazon http://amzn.to/1CXJHqV
