TRUTH OR DARE

{Playlist Suggestion: "Money Power Glory" by Lana Del Rey}

~ZOE POV~

The hallway leading to Chelsea's apartment always smelled like a combination of boiled cabbage and wet carpet, but today, there was a new scent layered underneath.

Trouble.

I couldn't explain it. Maybe it was the fact that Chelsea hadn't texted me back since our hopeless coffee shop meeting yesterday. Maybe it was the way my instincts had been buzzing like a downed power line ever since she mentioned The Mirage.

I adjusted the strap of my bag, which was heavy with a Tupperware of leftover lasagna from my mom and a few stolen rolls of toilet paper from Venom. The "Survival Kit," I called it.

I unlocked the door with my spare key.....Chelsea gave it to me three months ago after Samuel tried to kick the door down.....and stepped inside.

"Knock, knock," I called out softly, toeing off my boots. "I come bearing carbs and stolen hygiene products."

I expected the usual scene: 'Chase huddled under blankets on t

    THE LOCKER ROOM{Playlist Suggestion: "Believer" by Imagine Dragons / "Till I Collapse" by Eminem}~KADE POV~The locker room was like a kingdom, and the order of power was shown by where the benches were, how loud the voices were, and how the air felt when you entered.I used to be the King. Now, I was the usurper.I walked in, my gym bag heavy on my shoulder, my knee wrapped tight under my jeans. The pain was a dull, constant roar today.....a reminder of the hit I took in practice yesterday, and the vigorous activity I had put it through with Chelsea last night.The noise in the room didn't die down this time. It shifted. The laughter turned sharp. The whispers grew louder, performative."Look who decided to grace us with his presence," a voice sneered from the back corner.I didn't need to look to know who it was. Hartland.He was back.I walked to my locker, ignoring him. I could feel eyes on my back....Lucas, Denver, the sophomores who used to worship the ground I walked on. Now

    CHECKMATE{Playlist Suggestion: "I'm Not A Hero" by Hans Zimmer / "Start a Riot" by BANNERS}~CHASE POV~The door clicked shut, locking Chelsea out and locking me in.I waited ten seconds. Then I rolled my wheelchair to the window and peered through the blinds. I watched my sister walk down the street toward the bus stop. She was wearing black slacks and a black blouse that looked too expensive for us, clutching a bag that contained a change of shoes.She walked with her head down, shoulders hunched. Not like someone going to a job that paid two thousand dollars a week. Like someone marching to an execution.I let the blind snap back into place.The apartment was quiet. It smelled like the steak she had cooked for dinner...real meat, tender and rich, the kind we hadn't eaten in years. My new medication was sitting on the counter, fully paid for. The IV port in my arm wasn't itching for the first time in months because the high-quality saline and antibiotics were actually doing their

    FOOL'S GOLD{Playlist Suggestion: "Gold Rush" by Taylor Swift / "Super Rich Kids" by Frank Ocean}~DENVER POV~The plan was simple. Burgers at Benny's.Benny's was the kind of place where the tables were sticky, the neon sign blinked, and the milkshakes were thick enough to stop your heart. It was my turf. A place where a scholarship kid could buy dinner for two without having to sell a kidney.I pulled up to the Prescott gates in my Ford...which looked like a lawnmower next to the fleet of Range Rovers in their driveway...and texted her.'Here.'Five minutes later, Valerie walked out.She looked incredible. That was the thing about Valerie....she always looked like she had just stepped out of a magazine shoot. She was wearing a soft cream dress that hugged her in all the right places and heels that looked like weapons.My stomach dropped. She was overdressed for Benny's. She slid into the passenger seat, bringing the scent of expensive perfume with her. "Hey.""Hey." I smiled, puttin

    SMOKE BREAK{Playlist Suggestion: "I Was Never There" by The Weeknd / "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak}~KOLT POV~God mode.That was what my security team called the setup in my office. Twelve high-definition monitors lining the wall, feeding live streams from every corner of The Mirage. The bar, the VIP lounge, the back exits, the stairwells.I could see everything. Who was drinking too much. Who was touching the dancers. Who was making deals in the dark corners that they didn't want their wives to know about.But for the last hour, my eyes had been fixed on only one screen.Camera 4. The main floor VIP section.Chelsea moved through the crowd like a shadow. She was wearing the uniform I had mandated....black slacks, black high-necked blouse....but even covered from neck to ankle, she drew the eye. It wasn't that she was trying to be noticed; it was that she was trying so hard not to be.I watched her handle a drunk tech CEO at Table 9. She didn't smile. She didn't flirt. She stepped in

    FEVER PITCH 2{Playlist: "Desire" by Meg Myers}~KADE POV~Her squeeze was an anchor, but the storm inside me hadn't settled. It was still raging, a desperate, buzzing energy beneath my skin that screamed more. I felt her breath hitch, her body going soft and obedient beneath me. She was ready to drift, to let the moment fade.No.I couldn't let this end. The second we stopped moving, the silence would rush back in. And in that silence, the secrets she was hiding would grow loud enough to deafen us both.I rolled us over in one fluid, powerful move. The shift forced a sharp gasp from her lips as the world tilted. Now she was straddling my waist, her dark hair falling like a curtain around us, her eyes wide and searching mine."Don't you dare close your eyes," I rasped, my voice wrecked. My hands slid from her hips to her thighs, gripping the trembling muscle there. "We aren't done, Chelsea. I'm not done with you."She looked down at me, her expression a devastating cocktail of awe and
