BRIAN

Eggs. Toast. Coffee.

Each steaming and set down in front of me like an offering.

I stared at the plate like it might bite me back. Like this was some new kind of trap, gentler than the others he'd used on me, and somehow more dangerous for it.

"You cooked for me?"

"You need to eat." Ace didn't look up from his own mug.

"Why do you care?"

I wouldn't admit a tiny hope was already budding inside me, then it shrunk back rapidly as it grew.

"Because it's my job."

I shoved the plate an inch aw

  • DAMN YOU, ALPHA    SAY IT OUT LOUD

    BRIANWeston picked the place: a courtyard behind a closed gallery, six chairs and a dead fountain, a lantern over the door. He asked me to come alone. I told him that wasn't possible.Ace stayed by the archway, thirty feet away, hands folded in front of him. He had agreed to it in one word and hadn't looked at me since.I told myself thirty feet was fine. It was better than the alternative: Ace talking me out of seeing Weston at all, because he was jealous of every hour I'd once spent with him. I'd had to practically coax him into accepting it, promising this was where everything ended. Besides, Weston had only said "let's meet." He never called it a date, and I wasn't going to treat it as one, or my jealous boyfriend would flare up again.Weston was already sitting on the fountain's edge with his jacket off. A glass of something amber sat beside him, untouched, and he'd loosened his tie like a man who'd been staring at the same wall for hours."You came," he said."You asked." I sat

  • DAMN YOU, ALPHA    NOT HOW A BODYGUARD BEHAVES

    BRIANAce took the package from the concierge before I'd even seen the elevator light.Flat gray paper, a card tucked under the ribbon. Weston's handwriting. Ace turned it over once, read the name, and set it face down on the hall table."Send it back.""You haven't even looked at it.""He waited at that hotel until midnight." His voice was flat and very controlled. "He doesn't get paid off with one more gift. He doesn't stand a chance with you."It had been three days since the Marlowe. Ace had stopped hiding what he felt without ever announcing it. He stood closer. He kissed me often. We had sex constantly. We cuddled. And whenever *Cole* lit up my phone, Ace went quiet, glaring at the screen like he wanted to put a fist through the name. He was still my bodyguard, but he stood like a man guarding something that belonged to him. I should have been thrilled. Mostly I was afraid. We did everything a couple did, even bathing together. But I still wasn't sure what we were together. Lov

  • DAMN YOU, ALPHA    NOBODY TOUCHES YOU BUT ME

    BRIANSaturday, I dressed for it slowly. Fitted tuxedo, the white one I hadn't worn. The silk tie was loosened just enough. I stood in front of the mirror and looked at a man I didn't recognize, someone about to make a terrible decision on purpose.Ace was waiting by the door with my coat over his arm."The car is downstairs," he said."Is that all?""Yes.""You're really going to drive me there?""It's my job."I laughed, short and hollow, and tried so hard not to break in front of him, though my heart already had. At last, I picked up my overnight bag, my hands shaking no matter how hard I tried to make it stop. I knew he saw all of it. Without looking at him, without begging again, I started for the door. If he doesn't want me, I'll show him how well another man does.My hand was on the doorknob when his voice stopped me.“Don't go.”It was so quiet I almost missed it. I turned, too fast like I was scared he would change his mind the moment I delayed.He was still standing there

  • DAMN YOU, ALPHA    DO YOU ACTUALLY WANT ME

    BRIANThe photo ran on page one of the Sunday society section. *KINGSFORD AND COLE: THE MATCH NOBODY SAW COMING.* Weston's hand at the small of my back, close to my hip, his mouth on mine, my eyes closed, my smile so convincing I almost believed it.My father sent a single text. *Well done.*It was the first thing he'd said to me in years that wasn't a threat.---The real dates started. Two weeks of it. Dinners, a charity gala, a polo match where I hid behind sunglasses and let Weston explain the rules. He held doors and I let him. He remembered I hated cilantro. He made me laugh twice, and both times I checked whether Ace had seen us. I tried to gauge his reactions to everything. Ace saw everything. He drove us in silence, eyes on the road, hands steady. He sat in the front seat of a car where two men leaned toward each other in the back and never once looked in the mirror.On the fifteenth night, he missed a turn while driving.It was so small that Weston didn't notice. We were he

  • DAMN YOU, ALPHA    LET'S TRY DATING

    BRIANIt had been nine days since the patch incident.And since I bought myself a new phone and locked away the one my father had power over.I didn't trash it. My father would notice. I decided to play the game of choosing when he could track me instead.Ace hadn't touched me once. He spent most of his time in the study or out of the house. He drove me where I needed to go, and stood three feet behind me like a man on a leash he had chosen himself. The man who had parked outside Felix's building all night now looked at me the way he looked at doorways.He had asked to leave. I hadn't forgotten it. And he said he shouldn't have given me hope.How wrong he was. He had no idea I didn't regret any of it. My only regret was letting a game become something that hurt me. Ace had plainly decided not to want anything to do with me anymore. And he stuck to it like the disciplined ex-special forces soldier he was.---Jax's birthday was on the roof of a members' lounge called Halcyon. Halcyon

  • DAMN YOU, ALPHA    BECAUSE OF HER

    BRIANThe elevator in Felix's building smelled like old carpet and someone else's takeout. I leaned against the back wall, one hand on the rail, the hangover pulling at me with every slow floor.Ace was leaning against the SUV when I came out. He had on the same shirt as yesterday, stubble shadowing his jaw.Two empty coffee cups were on the dashboard behind him. He didn't move toward me. He looked me over once, head to foot, the way you check something you were afraid to find broken."You're upright," he said."Disappointed?""No."I frowned and stopped a full arm's length away. Something was wrong with the picture, and it took my aching head a second to find it."Did you spend the night here? How did you even know where I was?"He held my stare and said nothing, his eyes giving away more than his silence did."Felix's place isn't in any file you have. He moved here in June. I never gave you this address.""Your phone.""My phone's been silent since I turned it face down, right afte
