Logan POV

The Alpha Chi house looks like something out of a magazine—warm light spilling from the porch, laughter faint behind the door, the faint scent of vanilla drifting on the air. Peaceful.

Too peaceful.

Cole pushes the door open first, balancing two takeout bags. Marco and Zack trail behind him, arguing about whether pineapple belongs on pizza.

I hang back, staring at the doorway like it might bite.

“Are you sure this is smart?” Cole asks over his shoulder.

“No,” I say.

“Good. We’re on th

    Harper POVThe mirror feels like it’s judging me.Not in a cruel way.In a who are you trying to convince? kind of way.I stand in front of it in my room, smoothing my hands down the sides of the dress for the third time, even though it doesn’t need smoothing. It fits like it was made to silence every doubt I’ve ever carried.Simple.Black.Dangerous in its restraint.It hugs my curves in a way I’m not used to seeing on myself—like the dress is reminding me that I’m not just a title, not just the sorority president, not just the girl who always has everything under control.I’m a woman.Lila is perched on my bed behind me, watching with the satisfied air of someone who has personally orchestrated a moment.“Oh,” she says softly. “He’s going to suffer.”I glance at her in the mirror. “Lila.”“What?” she says innocently. “It’s the night before the auction. The mingling event. The bidders are going to be there. Logan is going to be there. And you—” she gestures at me like she’s presentin

    Logan POVI shouldn’t have texted her.That’s what I tell myself as soon as I hit send.Two words.You left.Cold. Flat. Accusatory, even though I didn’t mean it that way.But I didn’t know what else to say.Because I woke up in her bed—Harper Lane’s bed—and for a second, in the haze of sleep, everything felt… quiet.Safe.Then I turned over.And she was gone.No note.No sarcastic goodbye.No sign that last night happened at all.Just empty sheets and the smell of her shampoo like some kind of punishment.Now I’m in the locker room, half-dressed, sweat still cooling on my skin from weights, staring at my phone like it’s going to explode.Cole is across the room pretending not to watch me.He’s failing.“Text her,” he’d said.Like it was easy.Like I’m not the kind of guy who’s spent years making sure no one can read me.Like I’m not the kind of guy who doesn’t do… this.My screen lights up.Her reply.I’m fine.I exhale sharply through my nose.Bullshit.I type back before I can over

    Harper POVI make it through exactly half of my morning before my phone becomes a problem.Not because it rings.Not because it buzzes.Because it doesn’t.The silence is worse.I sit in the second row of my lecture hall, notebook open, pen moving across the page in neat, practiced strokes. I write down terms. I underline definitions. I nod at the right moments like I’m absorbing any of it.I’m not.All I can think about is the fact that Logan Shaw woke up in my bed.And I left him there.God.What kind of person does that?The kind who panics, apparently.The kind who wakes up with someone’s arm around her waist and suddenly realizes she is standing too close to the edge of something that could actually matter.The kind who doesn’t trust hot-and-cold men with sharp mouths and haunted eyes.My phone sits face-up beside my notebook.Blank.No messages.No name lighting up the screen.A part of me is relieved.Another part of me feels stupid for being relieved.Because what was I expect

    Logan POVThe weight room smells like iron and sweat and bad decisions.It’s early enough that the place isn’t packed yet, but there are still guys scattered around—hoodies up, earbuds in, moving through reps like it’s religion.Normally, this is where my brain shuts up.Today, it’s not working.I step inside and immediately feel eyes on me.Cole’s, specifically.He’s already at a bench, towel around his neck, mid-set like he was born doing this.His gaze flicks over me once.Then again.Then his mouth twitches.“Oh,” he says. “Interesting.”I ignore him and head for the rack.“Logan,” he calls casually.I pretend I don’t hear it.He raises his voice just enough. “Are those… the same clothes from yesterday?”I freeze for half a second.They are.I didn’t think about it. I didn’t have time to think about it.“It’s early,” I mutter.Cole snorts. “That’s not an answer.”I grab a barbell and start loading plates.“Don’t,” I say.“Don’t what?” he asks, far too innocent.“Don’t start.”Cole

    Logan POVThe first thing I register is warmth.The second thing I register is wrongness.Because the warmth isn’t ice house sheets or my own bed or the familiar weight of routine—It’s soft. It smells like lavender detergent and something faintly floral, like Harper’s shampoo.My eyes blink open slowly.The ceiling is unfamiliar.Not mine.My brain takes a second too long to catch up, floating somewhere between sleep and memory.Then it hits.Harper’s room.Last night.Her mouth on mine.The way everything narrowed down to heat and breath and the sound she made when she said my name like it wasn’t just a name.I exhale, rubbing a hand over my face.I slept.Actually slept.Not the half-rest, half-alert dozing I’ve been doing for weeks. Not the kind of sleep where I wake up already tense.This was… real.The best sleep I’ve had in a long time.And then my phone starts ringing.The sound is sharp, jarring, completely wrong in the quiet.I fumble for it on the nightstand.Cole’s name fl

    Harper POVI wake up too fast.Like my body remembers before my brain does.The first thing I register is warmth.A solid presence behind me, an arm heavy across my waist, breath slow against the back of my neck.For one blissfully stupid second, I think I’m still dreaming.Then my eyes open.Logan.In my bed.In my room.In my space like he belongs there.My heart stutters so hard it actually hurts.I stay perfectly still, staring at the ceiling, afraid that if I move even an inch the entire memory of last night will come crashing down.We didn’t—No.We didn’t have sex.That’s the strangest part.It would almost make more sense if we had crossed that line. If it had been reckless and physical and easy to categorize as a mistake.But it wasn’t that.It was… heat.It was kissing until my lips were swollen and my thoughts were gone. It was hands and breath and the way his name sounded when it left my mouth like I couldn’t stop it.And then…He stopped.He pulled back like he was standi
