Finally, Han had left me alone.
By the time I got out of the shower, he was nowhere to be found. My trousers and the thing I'd been looking for earlier were neatly placed on the bed. What the hell had he done? Did he intentionally hide it the first time? God, that devil. I hated him. I despised him.I yanked on my boxers and pants, but as I was pulling them up, my mind flashed back to how he had touched me—how he stretched out on top of me, adjusting my arms, his fingers brushing too easily against my waist. I threw my head back in frustration, but when I glanced down, I froze.I was hard."What the fuck?" I muttered, shaking my head violently. No. No, no, no. I wasn't attracted to that. I hadn't had sex in a few days, that's all. My body was reacting to any kind of touch. That's all it was. Just because he—I remembered the way his fingers had teased across my chest, how he fixed my stance at the gym mirror, how his stupid breath had ghostedFinally, Han had left me alone.By the time I got out of the shower, he was nowhere to be found.

The tires screamed against the asphalt as Eric forced his car to speed forward, pain be damned. He kept his burning gaze locked on the vehicle ahead, the one Anne had just willingly entered. His heart hammered against his ribs, faster and harder with every passing second.As if sensing his presence, Anne turned around from the passenger seat.Her eyes met the road behind them — met him — like she could see right through the speed and distance between them.And she smiled.It wasn't a smile of guilt.It wasn't a smile of regret.It was a wicked, knowing smile.Anne was enjoying this.Eric's fingers dug into the steering wheel, his knuckles whitening. His body screamed in protest, blood still sliding sluggishly over his side from earlier wounds, but he refused to ease up.She needed to know who she was dealing with.She needed to see just how far he was willing to go.Ahead, Anne tilted her head back against the seat, clo
Tyler's POV I stood there, towel clutched tightly around my waist, feeling utterly exposed. The cold air hit my damp skin, making it prickle in a way that had nothing to do with the water or the workout. Han's gaze, dark and heavy, didn't help. It felt like he was trying to see right through me, like he was inspecting every inch of me, deciding whether to approve or… something else.He took a slow step forward, his eyes never leaving me. His presence was suffocating, every movement deliberate, like he knew how much it was making my pulse race.He stopped just a few inches from me, towering over me like some kind of predator. My heart was pounding, my breath coming in shallow bursts, and all I could focus on was the feeling of the towel wrapped around me. The last thing I wanted was for it to fall. For him to see everything. The thought of his hands touching me again made my stomach churn in a way I couldn't explain."You should be more careful," Han's
Anne threw open the car door and shoved Eric into the passenger seat. She was behind the wheel before she even realized it despite the fact that she could barely drive. Every pothole, every bump, she hit like she was gunning for them, and Eric cursed loudly with every jolt."Watch it! Watch it! You're gonna kill us before we even get home!" he snapped, one hand pressed hard against the bleeding cut on his arm."Calm down!" Anne barked back, squinting at the blurry road ahead. "You should be grateful I'm even driving at all! Would you rather bleed out back there?""And why are we bleeding in the first place, huh?" Eric shot back, voice sharp with rage. "I told you not to go to that damn club! You just had to disobey."Anne's fingers tightened around the steering wheel. The guilt burned under her ribs, but her pride was louder. "I have a first aid kit at home. You'll live. Or should we just head to the hospital?""No hospital," Eric bit out
Tyler's POVI didn't know what the fuck was wrong with this man or what he was up to, but I braced myself for anything. I clenched my fists, already preparing to break his damn teeth if he tried any funny business.Without wasting a second, he started throwing absurd punishments at me. Push-ups, planks, all kinds of insane exercises that made every bone in my body scream. I was sweating, groaning, muscles on fire, and this guy just stood there like a damn statue, not even sparing me a pitying glance.Then he gave me a new stance to hold, and I did my best, but of course, he wasn't satisfied. He walked over, grabbed my arm, and lifted it higher.It was supposed to be nothing just a correction but the second his hand touched me, something weird churned in my stomach. It wasn't supposed to feel like anything. It wasn't supposed to make me tremble or feel like my body is ablaze "Any problem?" he asked, voice casual."No," I said quickly,
Han's POV:I couldn't process what I'd just heard. I'm not gay. This stupid blonde just blurted that out, like it was some sort of defense, as if I needed an explanation.I threw my head back and laughed. It wasn't a fake laugh either—it was genuine. The sheer absurdity of the situation got to me. Not gay? Who the hell said I thought you were? I barely had time to finish my laughter before I saw that look on his face—confused, unsure, like I'd just handed him a riddle wrapped in a question."Don't worry," I said, trying to keep the amusement out of my voice, "If you think the seven days of proximity is anything like having sex or whatever, you are clearly mistaken." I gave him a pointed look, my gaze cutting through the tension like a blade."Are you against it?" I added, letting the challenge linger in the air.He swallowed. Good. That meant he was starting to realize what kind of game he was in. "No, no, I'm not. It's 2025. I'm not..."
