Ignite Me: Shards of Glass, Part One Read Free

and rallied myself and what I'd seen into a logical sequence. “What I'm going to tell you might not go down very well, so please let me finish my explanation before you fly off the handle!” I knew if it had of been a sister of mine, I'd have gone mental.
    He narrowed his eyes. “Okay, please go ahead.” He sat himself down on the edge of one of the cabinets and studied me intently.
    I took a deep breath, trying to ignore how intently he was studying me and how long his legs were.
    “I went outside to get some fresh air and as I walked around the side of the building at first I thought I'd stumbled upon a couple out there making-out, but the whole scene was wrong, the girl wasn't kissing him back so I decided to go closer to see what was going on and it was then I realised something was wrong! I know what these guys in bands are like they are all the same! Men are assholes!”
    He laughed. “Not all men Miss Watson!”
    I became flustered by the way he said my name and had to rally my thoughts again.
    “It wasn't till I got right near that I realised that the girl was shaking! Things were said and I may have punched him in the face.” I shrugged and looked down at my right hand, it had swollen a little, my skull ring had dug into my middle finger and my other knuckles where grazed.
    He went silent. Then he stood up and walked over to one of the laptops and started tapping at the keys heavily. His face like thunder. His whole manner had changed, his body language was intense. I could virtually feel the atmosphere crackle.
    “And you're saying that girl was my sister?! Did she explain what hell she was doing out there?!” His voice was restrained but he couldn't keep the edge from it.
    I sighed. “Yeah, she said she asked him for a photo and he took her outside! Look, I don't know his name, but you'll know it's him! I bet this left a nasty mark!” I held my hand out. “I also think I've broken my finger!”
    He turned his head to look at me. “Why did you hit him?!”
    I wasn't sure if I wanted to share what he'd said about Sean. “Um, well he made some personal remarks about me and then tried to slap me, so I hit him! Plus prior to that when I pointed out she was a minor he didn't care, he simply said he was giving her what she wanted! Also, he offered to show me a good time!” I tutted and shook my head. “I guess I just saw red!” I rubbed my fingers wondering if I should go to the hospital.
    “If I show you the list of all the male guests here tonight do you think you would recognize him?!” He smiled and held out his hand for mine.
    I gave him a funny look, but held out my hand, wondering what he intended.
    He turned it over and then took off my ring and did something I'd not expected, he pulled my finger with quite some force. It made a satisfying pop as intense pain washed over me. I tried not to swear.
    Sweet mother of Jesus that hurt like fuck.
    “Jeez Cameron you could have warned me!” I bit my lip, tears pricked my eyes. It really had hurt. I tucked it under my left arm pit so he'd not try anything else.
    He smirked. “It was dislocated! Now all you'll have to do is go to the doctors and check it's not broke!”
    I narrowed my eyes at him giving him a dirty look, wondering quite where he got off acting so cold and clinical about everything. No wonder his sister had been worried about his reaction but I did want to help find the guy so I stepped forward.
    “If it helps his band is new and he spoke with a really deep London accent!” I moved so I stood next to him. He was scrolling through various photos of bands.
    “Thank you for stepping in, she's only just turned 14, she's really into alternative music and all that, but literally has no sense of danger!” He smiled at me, flashing his perfect white teeth, but his eyes remained cold.
    I grinned at him lopsidedly. Being this close to him was making me feel funny, his aftershave smelt really good. I shook the vision of me stood holding him
