I know what’s going to happen if Aiden reaches Denny and I don’t want a murder on our hands, so I turn and run toward Aiden, leaping into his waiting arms. Unsurprisingly, Denny has let go of my arm and is now using the other dancers as a human shield. “Don’t even think about getting on that plane after making me need you so bad.” “Lola!” Aiden bellows, his eyes snapping with rage.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” he sneers under his breath.
