The words slipped out before I could stop them.

“Yes,” I whispered, my throat tight, my palms clammy. “Stay with me tonight.”

Liam froze. His hand on my back stiffened, the teasing smirk he always wore gone, replaced by something darker, heavier. His eyes bore into mine like he was peeling away every excuse, every layer of hesitation, until nothing was left but raw honesty.

“You’re serious,” he said finally, his voice low, almost dangerous.

My pulse leaped. “I… I wouldn’t have asked if I wasn’t.”

For a moment, neither of us moved. The hallway around us buzzed faintly with life, hotel guests walking past, the hum of distant elevators, the clink of glasses from the bar down the hall. But between us, it felt like the world had slowed, like time itself was holding its breath.

Then, without another word, Liam caught my hand and started walking. His grip was firm, unyielding, like he was afraid I’d take it back if he gave me the chance.

My legs felt like jelly as we headed toward the elevat

    But safety didn’t stop my mind from racing.Safe didn’t erase the heat of Zane’s kiss, or the memory of Liam’s fury.Safety wasn’t simple anymore.I pressed my face into the pillow, clinging to the fabric as if it could absorb the chaos inside me. The quiet Kai left behind was softer than his brothers’ storms, but silence had its own sharp edges. My heart kept pounding, restless, unwilling to calm. It was as though my body had been rewired tonight, every nerve ending raw, every breath laced with fire I didn’t ask for.I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling, the shadows shifting with the moonlight that slipped through the curtains. I could still feel Zane’s hands on me, burning brands across my skin. I could still hear Liam’s voice, furious, possessive, like he had a right to me. And then there was Kai, steady, controlled, quiet thunder. His voice had been the only thing that didn’t make me want to claw out of my own skin.But even Kai wasn’t simple.Because when he looked at

    “Lena!”Kai’s voice.It was sharp but not angry, steady, grounding, slicing through the fever of Zane’s touch like a bell ringing in the dark.I jerked back, breathless, lips swollen, Zane’s grip still iron around my waist. His eyes blazed at me, feral and unrepentant, but his jaw tightened when the handle of my door twisted.“Kai,” I whispered, shoving at Zane’s chest, panic rising like fire in my throat. “Let go.”He didn’t move. His hand stayed on me, his breath ragged, his lips still glistening from mine. His voice came low, guttural. “Say you don’t want me and I’ll let go.”I swallowed, trembling. My body screamed one thing, my mind another. “Zane, please.”The door creaked open.And there he was.Kai.His tall frame filled the doorway, but unlike Liam’s fury or Zane’s recklessness, Kai’s presence was quiet thunder, calm, watchful, heavy with meaning. His eyes fell instantly on Zane’s hand gripping my wrist. His brows lifted, not in rage but in disappointment, the kind that made

    I sat up, meeting him eye to eye for the first time since he’d entered. My voice was small, but steady. “Leave in the morning if you must. Come back only if you’ve learned to stand without breaking me. Don’t kiss me in the dark and expect me to forgive the light. And… don’t touch me like I’m not allowed to walk away.”He listened like I had recited a law. When he spoke, it was the slow, deliberate voice of a man making a vow. “I’ll do it. I’ll earn the right to be near you. I’ll be here if you want me to be. I’ll leave if you say go. I swear on—” He stopped himself, then smiled crookedly. “On something I can’t break.”Something in me softened, but I clenched my fists anyway. Softening wasn’t forgiving. It was simply an admission that I was human, messy, ache-filled, and stupid for wanting warmth when the cold felt safer.He leaned in, not to kiss, but to press his forehead gently to mine, a quiet, almost childish gesture that cracked open the armor around my heart. “I don’t expect yo

    And that was the cruelest truth of all.That night, I tried to sleep. Tried. But every time I closed my eyes, I saw Liam’s burning stare, Zane’s wild kiss, Kai’s steady warmth. My sheets twisted around me, my skin prickling, my heart restless.And then, I heard it.The faint creak of my door.My breath caught.“Zane?” I whispered into the dark.He stepped in, his silhouette sharp against the faint glow of moonlight spilling through the window. “Couldn’t stay away,” he murmured, shutting the door softly behind him.He didn’t come close at first. He stood by the foot of my bed like a man waiting for permission to step into a fire he knew would burn him. My palms were damp from the earlier storm of shame and anger; my cheek still stung where my hand had landed. I hugged my knees to my chest, studying him the way you study a wound, to know whether it will scar or fester.“I am so sorry,” he said, and the words broke out of him like they’d been choking inside for weeks. “For what happened

    “Stop,” I whispered, but it came out too soft, too pleading. My body betrayed me, shivering beneath the weight of his stare, the nearness of him.Liam’s eyes narrowed, his grip on my chin firm, refusing to let me look away. His voice dropped lower, husky, almost taunting. “Stop? Or keep going? Because your body isn’t saying stop, sweetheart.”Before I could speak, Zane let out a short laugh, dark and mocking, the sound rolling through the air like smoke. He leaned back against the archway, folding his arms across his chest with deliberate ease. “You sound jealous, brother.”The temperature seemed to drop.Liam’s jaw clenched, the vein in his neck ticking as his head snapped toward Zane. “Careful.” His tone was pure warning, sharp enough to cut steel.Zane only smirked, pushing off the wall with lazy grace, like a predator who knew exactly how dangerous he was. His eyes flicked to me, slow, possessive, before returning to Liam. “Jealousy doesn’t suit you. But then again, you’ve always

    “Enjoying yourself?”His voice was smooth as steel, low and sharp, slicing through the night air. My blood froze. Liam.I turned, my lips still damp from Zane’s kiss, my chest heaving. He was leaning lazily against the balcony doorframe, one hand braced above his head, but there was nothing lazy in his eyes. Those dark, stormy eyes burned with something dangerous, possession, fury, and a taunting edge that made my knees weaken.“Liam…” My voice cracked, small, helpless, and guilty all at once.He pushed off the frame, taking a slow step toward me, each movement deliberate, predatory. Zane didn’t flinch. He just smirked, brushing his thumb across his lower lip as if savoring the taste of me still lingering there.My heart slammed against my ribs.Liam’s gaze flicked between us before it locked on me, and the corner of his mouth curved, not in a smile, but in something sharper, crueler. “If you’re going to sin with him, at least admit you wanted it.”Heat rushed to my cheeks, shame and
