ELARA.

I sat on the edge of the bed with my elbows on my knees and my face buried in my hands, trying to breathe past the feeling that had taken root in the center of my chest.

It felt like my heart had just been ripped out in the most brutal way possible.

One second I had been climbing the stairs after the café disaster, needing something solid, something that made sense after watching Bianca parade Mason in front of my father.

    ELARA.I sat on the edge of the bed with my elbows on my knees and my face buried in my hands, trying to breathe past the feeling that had taken root in the center of my chest.It felt like my heart had just been ripped out in the most brutal way possible.One second I had been climbing the stairs after the café disaster, needing something solid, something that made sense after watching Bianca parade Mason in front of my father. The next second I had been standing in Kyle’s doorway watching him thrust into another girl like the rest of the world had ceased to exist. The image refused to leave. Every time I blinked it replayed in perfect, humiliating detail—the arch of her back, the way his hands locked around her hips, the wet, rhythmic sound of sex under the low thump of the music from downstairs. I could still hear the soft, shameless moan she had made when he pushed deeper.Was I in love with Kyle?No way.Definitely not.What I was feeling had to be gratitude. That was the only

    KYLE.“Shit—” The word tore out of me the second my eyes locked on the doorway.Elara stood there, her mouth wide open and her eyes widened in shock. She was completely frozen in place, staring at the exact spot where I was buried inside someone else. She looked like it was the first time she had ever walked in on two people fucking—and maybe, in the way that actually mattered, it was the first time the sight had hit her this hard.“What the fuck…” she muttered, still staring, voice thin and disbelieving.The girl bent over beneath me twisted to look back over her shoulder, confusion flickering across her face as she registered we had an audience. I pulled out immediately. The sudden loss of heat was almost painful. I reached for the nearest piece of clothing to cover myself, heart slamming against my ribs for an entirely different reason than it had been thirty seconds earlier.Elara’s voice came out rushed and cracked. “Shit—I’m sorry. I’m so sorry—”She turned on her heel and fled

    ELARA.“What the fuck is he doing here?” The words left my mouth before my father could even finish standing up from the table. My voice cut across the café sharp enough that the couple at the next table stopped mid-conversation and turned to look.Bianca didn’t glance at me. She didn’t even tense. She simply stepped closer to my dad with that soft smile she always used when she wanted to look like the reasonable one.“Dad, meet my boyfriend. Mason.” She turned slightly, still refusing to acknowledge my existence. “Mason, meet my dad.”Mason offered his hand like this was a perfectly normal introduction. Like he hadn’t called me a puck bunny in front of an entire party. Like he hadn’t spent a year filming me without my knowledge and then handed those videos out like party favors.“I said what the fuck is he doing here?” I repeated, louder this time. Rage was already climbing my throat, hot and immediate.My dad’s polite smile faltered. He looked between the three of us, confusion knit

    KYLE.I dropped into the Ferrari, shut the door harder than necessary, and sat there for a long second with both hands locked on the wheel.I couldn’t stop thinking about it.Elara in the bathroom, her body cold and wet and completely bare against mine in the exact second I caught her. The weight of her breasts—full, heavy, soft in a way that made my hands remember the shape of them even now. Her nipples had been tight and pointed from the air, dark against her skin. The way her stomach had brushed mine. The tiny, shocked sound she made when I hauled her upright. The look in her eyes right before she realized I was seeing everything.My dick had gone hard the second her naked body hit my arms. It was hard again now, just from the memory, thick and aching against the inside of my jeans. I exhaled through my nose, forced myself to start the engine, and pulled out of the compound like distance might actually help.It didn’t.I needed to get the fuck out of my own head before the image b

    ELARA.“A party?” Iris’s voice lit up like someone had just handed her the keys to the city. She leaned forward over the table, eyes bright. “I like the sound of that.”Kyle didn’t even look up from what was left on his plate. He set his fork down with the kind of calm that usually meant he had already decided the answer.“I don’t think that’s a good idea. We’ve got practice.”June twisted in his chair, eyebrows climbing high. “Since when?”Kyle finally lifted his gaze and his voice stayed even, almost bored. “Well… since right now.”Noah let out a short laugh and leaned back. “There was no notice of any meeting.”“I’m the captain,” Kyle said, and the words carried them weight of someone who didn’t need to raise his volume to be obeyed. “There’s a meeting when I say there’s a meeting.”Iris groaned and dragged the protest out like taffy. “Come on, don’t be such a stuck-up. It’s just a party. You of all people should know how to have fun.”Kyle pushed his chair back. The legs scraped l

    ELARA.“Okay…” I muttered, still half-buried in sleep.The word sat on my tongue without meaning anything. My eyes were barely open. The phone was still pressed to my ear, the woman’s voice on the other end repeating itself with the practiced patience of someone who delivered life-altering information for a living. “Your debt has been cleared.”The sentence slammed into me fully this time.My eyes flung open. I sat up so fast the sheets tangled around my legs and nearly pulled me back down. The room was too bright. My heart started hammering against my ribs like it was trying to escape.“Wait—what?” I asked, eyebrows raising.“Your debt has been cleared,” she said again, slower. “The full outstanding balance, including all penalties and accrued interest, was settled early this morning.”I stared at the far wall without seeing it. The number that had doubled itself overnight. The seven-day deadline. The smooth, threatening voice that had told me I was already out of time. All of it—gon
