LOGINErin's POV“Are you able to show me to my room?” I lifted my eyes from my plate, noticing that neither Azure nor Finn had touched their food either.“You’re not going to eat?” Azure frowned.My phone buzzed again, but this time, with a notification from social media. Ophelia’s name popped up in the small rectangle, and I couldn’t help myself. Picking up the device, I swiped my thumb across the screen, my stomach sinking when I saw the photos.‘Just landed in paradise!” followed by a string of beach emojis, a martini glass, and a bikini, but that wasn’t it… A pink and a blue heart were at the very end of her post. It wasn’t significant, per say, but it was Ophelia’s signature when she was with a significant other.Rowan wasn’t on a business trip… He was with her. The phone shook within my trembling hands. The words quickly jumbled together and the screen blurred.When had I begun getting so emotional?“Come on,” Finn’s voice broke through my haze, and I finally lifted my eyes, seeing A
Erin's POVI was just putting dinner in the oven when the front door to Finn’s house opened and shut softly. Both men walked into the kitchen, and I arched a brow, noticing dirt and leaves stuck to Finn’s back and mud caked on Azure’s knees.My mind immediately circled back to the moment on the porch…“Did everything… go well?” I squeaked.Did they just fuck in the woods? That was the question I selfishly wanted to ask but bit my tongue instead.“Everything is fine, sweetheart,” Azure’s lips pulled in a grin. “Nothing you need to worry about.”My eyes moved to study Finn’s expression, but he had a lopsided smile on his face.Just ask…. Finn seems open enough…. Did the two of you fuck? It's an easy question to ask.How long had they been gone? Was that long enough for two men…. The intrusive thoughts nearly won, but instead, I turned away, busying myself with shoving dishes into the sink. Heat pooled in my lower abdomen, and I, once again, fought the urge to rub my legs together to ch
Azure's POVThe world was cloaked in a blanket of darkness as I stepped out onto the creaking wooden porch of Finn’s house.I stared up at the night sky, feeling a dozen different emotions.Furious that my day with Erin was interrupted by fucking Mila. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but I plan to crush that little rule. She was going to learn really fucking quickly that I won’t tolerate her bullshit. Not in my pack or in my life.Murderous over Rowan. The damn man had the world in the palm of his hand… my world, and instead of cherishing the fucking blessing that life gave him, he trampled all over her heart. In retrospect, this wasn’t the worst thing, I just wish my sweet Erin would have chosen to leave him without having her heart shattered into a million tiny little pieces.But luckily for her; I’m not afraid to bleed.Elated that I finally had Erin in my grasp. Fate works in mysterious ways, but I’m not going to fucking complain about that.And then there’s Finn….
Erin's POVThe house was exactly as I imagined on the inside. Mahagany stained wood made it feel as though you were stepping back in time. Nothing had been modernized, and I was mesmerized by its beauty.Finn had disappeared up a curved staircase, leaving me alone with Azure, who was watching me take in everything. The way he looked at me made my cheeks flush.“What do you think?” his gray eyes were studying me.“It’s beautiful,” I dragged my fingers over the carved railing to the steps. “The character gives the vibe that it’s an old bed and breakfast. I love it.”“Then it was a good choice,” Azure kept his distance, which I was grateful for. Despite the small distraction taking in the interior of the house, I was still reeling from whatever just happened outside… Not to mention none of it was distracting enough now for Rowan not to re-enter my mind.What was I going to do now? The finality of my decision was set in stone the moment Rowan walked out the door to our home. I had still b
Erin's POVThe two of them stood frozen, more still than a pair of statues as I waited for either of them to say something.I’d had enough bullshit from the male gender today to deal with…. Whatever the hell this was.I stood there studying the two of them for another thirty seconds before my frustration finally bubbled over.My tongue slid along the seam of my lips, my eyes locking with Finn’s green ones. His adam’s apple rolled with a swallow, watching me like a predator watching its prey.Each step was deliberate as I brushed past Azure’s frozen form. He hadn’t noticed that his best friend’s attention was entirely on me, and I used it to my advantage. My heart was pounding in my ears as I channeled the Erin I had been seven years ago.I stopped only inches away from Finn’s body, knowing damn well I was playing with fire. Shocking me, the corner of Finn’s lips curled into the tiniest smirk, as though he was fighting to hold himself back, but losing the battle.Finn’s cologne seemed
Erin's POVMy head rested against the cool surface of the window as I watched raindrops slide down the other side. The world around us moved in a blur.Azure insisted that I sit on his lap, and I didn’t have the energy to fight him on it.I felt numb all over.Everything that I knew was a lie, and everything I thought I’d do seemed like a distant memory now.How had everything gone from false perfection to a literal volcano of shit?“Sweetheart,” Azure cooed, his voice low and soothing. “Talk to me. What can I do?”Finn’s eyes were on the two of us in the rearview. He’d been in a sour mood since climbing in the front seat, but I’m not sure why. He seemed so eager to make things better before, but now that I’m in the car, he’s been silently brooding.“Nothing,” I whispered. “At least not right now.”An hour later, we pulled up to a home that I hadn’t seen before.“Where are we?” I glanced out the window.“This is my home away from home,” Finn responded, his eyes softening for the first
