تسجيل الدخولKadeI rake a hand through my hair, piecing everything together. So he really didn't know. I blow out a slow breath, exhaustion settling into my bones. Fuck.“Listen,” I say, turning back to face him. “I understand why you're scared of me being with Sora. I even understand why you think this is some sick revenge plot because of what happened between us. But you're wrong, Cam. Meeting Sora had nothing to do with you then, and loving her has nothing to do with you now.”He scoffs, but I don't give him the chance to interrupt.“I'm begging you, stop butting into our relationship. Stop making decisions for her because you think you know what's best. She's not a kid anymore, and she sure as hell isn't someone you get to keep on a leash until it's convenient for you. Let her make her own choices, even if they don't include you.”I turn toward the door, my hand settling on the handle before I pause. My grip tightens around the cold metal as I glance back over my shoulder, meeting his eyes on
CameronI glare at Kade. He sits across from me like he owns the room, patiently waiting for information I have no intention of giving him. He could beat the living shit out of me, and I still wouldn't tell him.His mentioning Daisy's snitching isn't exactly a shock. My fiancée has never known when to keep her mouth shut, especially if she thinks spilling someone else's secrets earns her a little attention.“Go on,” Kade says with a smug smirk as he crosses one leg over the other and settles onto the edge of my hospital bed. “I have all night.”I try not to scowl, but the movement pulls at the cut on my lip, making me wince instead, there is no fucking way I'm admitting I lost my cool over the thought of him sleeping with Sora.She's my best friend, she's… My sister.The word tastes wrong the second it crosses my mind.She hasn't felt like a sister in a long time, and maybe that's exactly why I threw myself into my relationship with Daisy. I convinced myself getting engaged would put
Kade All the rage I carry from the arena to the hospital dissolves the second I shove the door open. Sora is still sitting on the edge of Cam's hospital bed. Cameron has one hand clamped around her wrist while the other braces himself against the mattress. She's trembling so violently her whole body shakes, tears streaming down her face as she pleads with him in a voice so quiet I can barely hear it. Her eyes are squeezed shut, her breathing ragged, and she looks completely trapped. My stomach drops. I cross the room in seconds, prying Cameron's hand off her wrist before pulling her against me. She doesn't resist. If anything, she practically melts into my chest, her fingers bunching the front of my jersey while her body continues to shake. “What the fuck, Cam?” He glares back at me without a shred of guilt. His face looks like hell, his lip split and bruises spreading beneath the bandages, but none of that matters when I catch the way he's staring at my arms around Sora. T
Sora “I am here for Cameron Black,” I manage to splutter the second I reach the reception desk. “I got a call saying he was brought in as an emergency. Please, where is he? Is he okay?” The nurse barely glances up from her computer. “His room is down the hall, last door on the left.” “Is he okay?” I ask, unable to hide the fear creeping into my voice. She sighs, finally looking up at me. “Miss, I have other patients to attend to. If you want to know how your boyfriend is, you'll have to go see him yourself.” My cheeks immediately warm at the word boyfriend, and for one ridiculous second I have to bite back a smile. God, Sora. Focus. I mumble a quiet thank you even though she wasn't exactly pleasant and hurry down the corridor. Cam is practically a walking accident waiting to happen. I think of him as a panda, completely incapable of looking after himself without supervision. You'd think Daisy would help keep him out of trouble, but she's just as disaster-prone as he
Sora He plants a rushed kiss on my lips before hurrying out of the paddock. I remain rooted to the spot, watching his retreating figure until he disappears around the corner. My fingers drift to my lips, rubbing over them absentmindedly. What the fuck was that about?“Sora.”Sandy's soft voice snaps me back to the present, and I shake away the thoughts stampeding through my head. It's only for show. He doesn't really have feelings for me... but he said…Oh goodness, was he serious about that? I'd always assumed he was just too horny or too invested in getting back at Cam to realize he was spouting complete bullshit whenever he talked about us being real.I pinch my thigh, forcing myself to snap out of it. He just needs people to stop seeing him as gay, and you need him to... what exactly do I need him for?I let out a quiet groan. Sandy has officially filled my head with absolute nonsense, and somehow I'm starting to believe it too.“Are we not heading out too?” Sandy otherwise
Sora“What do you mean Kade is going out there?” I yell, pacing around the riders' paddock. I yank my phone out and pull up his medical records while Sandy trails hot on my heels.“Uh...” Toney stammers. “He volunteered.”I stop so abruptly I nearly crash into Sandy.“What?”I spin around so fast I almost kiss her by accident before glaring at the three idiots.“He has a back injury, for crying out loud! Why would any of you let this happen?”Jackson steps in front of me, his face bruised and bloodied.“It was our fault. Mostly mine,” he admits. “But don't worry about Kade. He can handle himself.”I look him dead in the eye. “If you don't get the fuck out of my face, I'll beat you even more.”He actually flinches.I frown.We both know I can hardly do any real damage. Jackson is built like a brick wall, and I'm... well, me.“What happened here?” I finally ask, noticing how every single one of them has been dancing around the question.Silence.They avoid my gaze, but I don't miss the
