AUGUST

Shit.

Shit shit shit.

I knew she was packing heat under that thin T-shirt. I’d felt the curves when I carried her, the weight of her in my arms, the way her body molded into mine. But nothing had prepared me for the moment the fabric cleared her head and those full, perfect breasts bounced free.

My eyes locked on them, as if they were the only thing in the room. In the whole damn world.

Time slowed. Everything else disappeared.

    AUGUSTShit.Shit shit shit.I knew she was packing heat under that thin T-shirt. I’d felt the curves when I carried her, the weight of her in my arms, the way her body molded into mine. But nothing had prepared me for the moment the fabric cleared her head and those full, perfect breasts bounced free. My eyes locked on them, as if they were the only thing in the room. In the whole damn world.Time slowed. Everything else disappeared.She moved fast. Hands flying up to cover herself. That little action snapped me out of whatever trance I’d fallen into, like a cold splash of water to the face.I cleared my throat. Loud and forced. My pulse thundering in my ears. I reached for the soap and sponge I’d already set on the wide marble ledge. The steam curled around us, thick and warm, heavy in the air. Ama had told me Camilla cried herself to sleep on the floor last night. The image clung to me, heavy as guilt, pressing into my chest. The guilt had sat heavy in my gut all morning. I hadn

    CAMILLAI stayed on the floor long after August left.The carpet pressed against my cheek, soft but foreign, smelling faintly of fabric cleaner and dust. I couldn’t turn over. I couldn’t even think about lying on my back. The sting was too sharp, too fresh. My body ached in ways I hadn’t expected—tiny pins of pain running under my skin, along muscles I barely remembered using. So I stayed ass up, cheek pressed to the soft carpet, arms folded under my head like a makeshift pillow, pretending it offered comfort. My chest rose and fell unevenly. Every inhale felt like it carried a weight I couldn’t drop.My mind spun in circles. Thoughts tangled, refusing order.Was this really better than Rico’s?At the club, at least I knew the rules. Dance. Smile. Collect tips. Go home sore but free for a few hours. It was predictable. Calculable. A rhythm I could survive.Here?I didn’t know the rules. I didn’t know him.One minute he was whipping me until I cried, his eyes unreadable, every strike

    CAMILLAI froze the second I heard his voice.“I believe you’re going somewhere, miss?”Slow. Calm. Almost playful. But there was a sharp edge underneath that made my blood run cold. My entire body stiffened.I shook my head so fast my hair whipped against my shoulders. “No… no, I’m not going anywhere.” My voice came out louder than I intended. Heart hammering, pulse thundering in my ears.He chuckled. Low. Dark. The kind of laugh that sent a shiver crawling up my spine. Then he stepped closer, the air around him shifting, electric.His hand wrapped around my throat. Not enough to choke, but firm, deliberate, a reminder of the control he held. I could feel it in every nerve ending. My breath hitched.“You should have listened to me, pretty girl. I warned you not to run.”Instinctively, my hands went up, brushing against his wrist, trembling. “No… no, no, I’m not running. I swear.”“Camilla…” Ama’s voice floated from behind me, small, panicked. “Oh… sir…”August’s head snapped toward h

    CAMILLAI woke up slowly, my head pounding like someone had taken a hammer to it. Every throb, every sharp pulse, felt like it was drilling right into my skull. A low groan escaped my lips before I could stop it, soft, involuntary, full of last night’s exhaustion. My body instinctively twisted, reaching for Monty’s side of the bed, the familiar warmth I had always relied on.My hand met nothing but cool, empty sheets. Panic hit me like a wave. My eyes snapped open, and the room came into focus. This wasn’t the club. This wasn’t the tiny, dingy apartment I’d been used to, with its sagging mattress and cracked ceiling. No. This was clean. White linens that smelled faintly of cotton and something expensive. Sunlight poured through sheer curtains, scattering across the polished marble floors. The faint scent of fresh linen and a hint of something else—something masculine, strong, intoxicating—lingered in the air.I sat up slowly, every movement deliberate, careful not to stumble in my w

    CAMILLAWe stepped into the elevator together, the doors closing behind us with that soft metallic click that sounded louder than it should have. August didn’t say a word. He didn’t look at me. He just pressed the top-floor button and stood there, hands buried deep in the pockets of his tailored suit, shoulders squared, staring straight ahead as if the rest of the world didn’t exist. His calm, unbothered aura only made my nerves spiral faster.I kept my arms wrapped tight around my middle, trying to cover as much skin as I could. The skimpy outfit that had felt like armor on stage, the one that had made me feel powerful and in control under the lights, now felt like nothing. It made me feel weak and vulnerable. Every floor we passed made my stomach twist tighter, coil in knots. One. Two. Three. Higher. Higher. Until the numbers stopped and the elevator doors slid open with a soft, almost ceremonial ding.He stepped out first, his long stride eating up the distance with an effortles

    AUGUSTCamilla walked right in front of me, each step slow, deliberate, measured, like she was trying to control every movement of her body while her mind screamed at her to run. Her eyes stayed glued to the front door of the club, as if it might suddenly swing open and swallow her whole—or as if someone would burst through it and save her. Every now and then, she flicked her gaze back at me. Once. Twice. Then forward again.I could see the hope there. Fragile, desperate. The tiniest spark of it lingered in the depths of her dark eyes. She wanted help. Someone to intervene, someone to step in and whisk her away from me. She wasn’t getting it. Not tonight. Not from me.I still didn’t fully understand why I’d dropped twenty million without a second thought. The number had slipped from my mouth before my brain even caught up with what I was doing. But the second I saw that glare of hers from the stage, something inside me shifted. I needed to know who she was. Needed to understand why
