Semua Bab Dear best friend's brother, kiss me while you can: Bab 41 - Bab 50

♡♡HAYDEN'S POV♡♡I turned to my father. “At least once you send me off, you won’t have to keep inventing excuses to hop from one business trip to another—pretending you’re not just avoiding me at home. Make the necessary calls. Have the jet ready by seven. I’ll be here.”“I’ll get everything ready on time,” he said.Without a word, I exhaled one last drag. Then flicked the cigarette into the ashtray and pressed it out with two fingers, eyes never leaving his.As I walked past him, he grabbed me by the arm. Our eyes locked. There was no remorse in his gaze. I was certain his only regret was getting caught. “Keep. Your. Promise,” he whispered, his voice low and dangerous, more like a warning than a plea.I yanked my arm free and left.Thinking back to all those years ago, it dawned on me—I was never the son they wanted. Just the reminder of a mistake that happened between my father and another woman.I used to wonder what love felt like in the Dylan home. Not the kind you fake in famil

♤♤JAKE'S POV♤♤I held the phone to my ear, pacing the edge of the rooftop private swimming pool. The entire city spilled out below in a glittering mess of light and motion. My heart spiraled with rage.“I’m serious, Dad. There’s no point shoving him into Alderidge like it’s a prison. Jail is where he belongs. Not here. He doesn’t care about school. He’ll just—”“I’m not asking for your opinion, Jake,” Dad cut in, his voice sharp and final. “I’ve already submitted the paperwork. Your brother’s attending Alderidge whether you like it or not.”I exhaled, jaw tightening. “It’s a bad idea.”“No. What’s bad is the reputation he’s dragging into this family, and what’s worse is how you let your emotions cloud your judgment. He’s not going to coast around anymore. He’s going to learn structure, discipline, and consequence. Just like you.”My mouth opened, but the next words stalled when Dad’s voice dropped lower. “You better keep your own nose clean too. Don’t get expelled like he did. Don’t g

☆☆SUMMER'S POV☆☆“Hey, Wallace,” Hayden said with that lazy, lethal smile of his.“Visiting New York, Sir?” The bouncer asked, already stepping aside like he knew better.“I'll be around for a while.”Wallace's eyes darted toward me and back to Hayden. I smiled nervously.“Please,” he said, lifting the velvet rope like it was a guillotine blade. “Go in.”My breath hitched. The velvet rope felt like a noose. I looked back one last time. The city’s lights blurred behind us, swallowed by a shadow that promised both ruin and ecstasy.And just like that—I was lost.The door opened into an unoccupied ground floor, vast and silent. Two guards stood like statues, blocking the next door. They nodded their heads, all silent reverence and muscle.I couldn’t breathe properly. This particular door led to a staircase which seemed to lead to a basement. Hayden’s eyes locked on mine, dark and unreadable.“Tonight,” he whispered, “you cross a line you can never uncross. There’s no running back once yo

♡♡ HAYDEN’S POV ♡♡I flicked it on. Touched her folds just enough to feel her jolt. Her hips bucked. I held her down with one hand, the toy pressed gently between her legs.“You’re soaked already. Fuck. Look at you. So easy to break apart.”I dragged it over her clit, slow, then pulled it back. She moaned. Tried to push against me, but I only eased the vibrations back again. Over and over. Edging her until her thighs trembled, her back arched.She gasped, “Please…”I leaned in close to her ear. “Please what?”Her breath caught. A hiccup of want. She didn’t know what she was asking for. Good. I wanted her to find it herself. She begged. God, she begged so sweet I almost wanted to ruin it—drag it out longer just to watch her unravel.But I’m a greedy man. Greedy for the ruin, greedy for her. I pressed the toy harder, swirling the tip. She sobbed. It was a sweet, wrecked sound that cracked me wide open.“Say it.”“Ngh—Hayden—”“Say it,” I growled.“Please, please, I want you.”I flipped

♤♤JAKE’S POV♤♤ When Summer left, my heart tore into a thousand pieces. I thought she'd be downstairs or somewhere in the lobby. But when I couldn't find Hayden, I knew something was wrong. He had kidnapped her. I should’ve known exactly where he’d take her. This place. The same damn club he used to drag every pretty girl he wanted to ruin. I parked half on the sidewalk. Didn’t even bother killing the engine. Wallace watched me approach with that dumb slab of muscle expression. I could tell by his bored eyes he already knew why I was here. “Out of my way,” I said, pushing past him. He didn’t move. Just crossed his arms like a brick wall grown from the sidewalk. “You can’t come in tonight, Mr. Dylan.” I jabbed a finger on his broad chest. “Bullshit. He’s inside, isn’t he?” My eyes darted toward the thick steel door. Dark glass. No windows. Everything about this place screamed secrets. And Hayden loved secrets more than he loved air. “Did he come here with a girl nam
