☆☆SUMMER'S POV☆☆

Pinch me.

No. Slap me. I need to wake up. What the fuck did Agnes Culkin just say to me?

“Wh–what?” I croaked.

“I was in Jake's room. When I heard footsteps, I hid under his bed.”

My blood ran cold, and I froze in disbelief. I searched for what lie to tell, what words to say, but even words eluded me at this point.

I was on my own. What the hell do I say?

“I’m certain it was you. I heard your voice and I heard Jake's. But before that, I saw someone else enter the room. He joined you in the bathroom.”

Agnes wore that thoughtful expression of hers, eyes gazing into nothing, her index finger pinned to her jaw. The music faded, and I could hear her clearly now. Then she chuckled and nudged my arm lightly.

“I may be wrong, though. It could’ve been any other guy, right?”

I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding as relief washed over me. A nervous laugh escaped from my lips. I stared at her, nodding instinctively.

“Yeah. You’re totally wrong.”

    ☆☆SUMMER'S POV☆☆Jake’s voice sliced the air. “Choose. Right fucking now, Summer.” He punched the wall so hard I felt it in my bones. Choose, Summer. Choose. The word jammed a blade under my ribs and dared me to breathe. How do I fucking choose between my best friend and his brother?I loved Jake. I always had. He’d been my best friend since the day I stepped into Saunterville, wide-eyed and lonely, and he made the world feel soft. How do I bury that? I couldn’t. I just couldn’t let him go.And Hayden. God. Hayden. I was in love with him. Too deep into him to claw my way out now. How do I kill that? My lips parted. Nothing came out. The room blurred behind my tears—white walls, glass windows, Hayden’s breath burning my neck from behind.Jake took one broken step closer. His knuckles were scraped raw where he’d hit the wall—or maybe his own head, I didn’t know anymore. His eyes gleamed wet and red and wild. My heart dropped like a bomb.He was right. Hayden ruined everything he touche

    ☆☆SUMMER'S POV☆☆ After our sex, I still had the audacity to shower with Hayden. Hot water steaming off my skin, his mouth on my throat, my hands braced on cold tile. For a terrifying moment, I wanted to forget the banging at the door, Jake’s broken voice splintering in the hallway. But I couldn’t. Not even when Hayden saw my tears among the water streaming down my face. He didn't say a word. He just tipped my chin up under the spray, thumb brushing my lower lip, smearing saltwater and soap. His mouth closed over mine like he was rinsing away my shame with his teeth and tongue. I gasped into him. He caught it. Swallowed it. “Look at me,” he said. His palm flattened between my breasts, hot water pooling there before running off like rain on glass. “Look at me, Summer. None of this is your fault. Don’t let him get into your head.” 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 I changed into something more decent. A hoodie and sweat pants. Hayden picked a new outfit from the closet which was bigger than my room back i

    ☆☆SUMMER'S POV☆☆ I woke up tangled in him, my cheek pressed to warm skin—Hayden’s chest rising and falling under my ear like a slow, dangerous heartbeat. For a moment I thought I was dreaming. That the taste of him on my tongue, the bite of his hands on my hips, the bruise on my throat—all of it—had been some fevered hallucination. But his palm was splayed over the back of my neck, heavy. His thigh tangled between mine. The sheets smelled like us—salt, sweat, and sex. My lashes fluttered open, lashes brushing the crook of his shoulder. Oh dear God! Tell me this wasn’t happening. My eyes darted around. This was the penthouse. I remembered Jake was here. What the fuck really happened last night? How did Hayden even get here? In my bed? I felt sick. I couldn’t remember exactly what had happened, but somehow, I felt alive. And starving for more. I breathe in. Needed to gather my thoughts. Maybe Jake was away, yeah? That seemed like the only reasonable explanation to why Hayden was nex

    ♡♡HAYDEN’S POV♡♡I kissed her like I’d never breathe again. She was so wet, it made me want to worship every inch of her body. When I pushed into her, it wasn’t careful. It was raw. Her breath caught—one sharp cry that died in my mouth because I swallowed it whole. She clung to me like she’d drown if I moved away.“Yes… just like that… don’t stop. Please.”Outside the room, the world stayed. JT waiting at the club. Jake? Probably listening. But none of it mattered. Only this. Summer’s fingers curled in my hair, nails scraping my scalp. Her voice—God, her voice—soft, broken, sweet as sin.“Hayden… don’t stop… please…”I wouldn’t. I couldn’t. Not now. I dragged her closer, hips snapping against hers—harder when she gasped, when her thighs squeezed me tighter. Minutes went by, but it felt like time was frozen. “Mine,” I growled into her neck. “Say it.”She did—breathless, ruined, half-sobbing when she came apart around me.“Yours. Yours. Only yours.”I let her drag me under with her—los

    ♡♡HAYDEN’S POV♡♡My mother? Has she been found? I wondered.I needed to hear what JT had to say. But as I stole one glance at Summer, my heart melted. The phone buzzed again—another message. Another demand. Another threat waiting with JT’s name on it, waiting for me to come hear about the woman I’d searched for in years.I stared at the screen until the words blurred. I could get up now. Slide out from under Summer’s soft, clinging weight. Let her whisper my name into an empty pillow while I drowned myself in my filth.I should’ve. But I didn’t. I just couldn’t leave her alone. Not with Jake. I turned the phone face-down on the night stand and let it buzz itself dead. Let Ernesto wait. Let JT wait. Let the news about my mother wait. Let the whole fucking world wait.Summer shifted against me, a soft sound in her throat like a dream curling into real air. Her fingers were still fisted in my shirt, warm and small, like she thought I’d disappear if she let go. I wouldn’t. Not tonight.

    ♡♡HAYDEN’S POV♡♡I should’ve turned around. I should’ve walked back to one of the rooms, shut the door, drowned myself in another glass of whiskey, and left my brother’s sickness alone for today. But I didn’t.I didn’t want to leave Summer alone with him. I knew Jake seemed harmless. He’d always seemed harmless. But only because I hadn’t been close to Summer before. Now that he knew something was going on between us, I couldn’t stop thinking about what he might do to hurt her.Jake was a perfect psycho. He’d mastered the art of hiding how twisted he really was. Even Summer had never suspected a thing—and they’d been friends since they were seven. The only reason I’d kept my relationship with Summer a secret was to protect her.I didn’t want Jake to hurt her. I didn’t want to hurt him either. He was a selfish bastard who hated to share. He only saw Summer as a possession. Even if he’d let anyone else have her, he’d never let me have her. He hated my guts.He cocked a brow. “So, you’re
