ERIC’S POVTwo days.Two days of trying—and failing—to get Sabrina out of my system.And let me tell you, it wasn’t for lack of trying. I’d taken more cold showers than I could count, jerked off more times than I wanted to admit, and yet… here I was, lying on my bed with my arms stretched above my head, feeling like I was losing my mind.At first, I thought it was curiosity. Just curiosity about her, about that little enigma she’d always been. Why she never wanted attention, why she tried to vanish from the world when the world had eyes on her. I told myself that’s all it was—an urge to study her. To understand her.But no.It wasn’t just that anymore.It was hunger. Pure, unfiltered hunger. The kind that gnaws at your chest, tightens your gut, and won’t let you sleep. The more I tried to shove her out of my mind, the deeper she burrowed in. It wasn’t just my body craving her—it was my brain, my thoughts, even my goddamn blood. I wanted to claim her, mark her, make sure she knew she w

Eric’s POVMy hand was already on her thigh before I could talk myself out of it. Slow. Deliberate. Fingers sliding up the soft skin just under the hem of that tight black dress. She was burning hot, trembling under my touch, and the second my palm started creeping higher, she sucked in a sharp breath.“What the hell are you doing?” she hissed, voice low and angry, but it cracked at the end. Fucking adorable.She tried to twist away, squirming on my lap like she actually thought she could escape me. Every little move dragged that perfect ass right across my cock, and fuck, I almost groaned out loud. I was so hard it hurt. Rock-fucking-solid and throbbing like a teenager who’d never had pussy before.I dropped my face into the curve of her neck just to shut myself up. Her scent hit me—sweet, warm, a little like vanilla and a lot like trouble—and I dragged my nose along her skin, breathing her in like a goddamn drug. My arm locked tighter around her waist, pinning her against me.“This

Sabrina’s POVPain exploded up my arms like fire, sharp and unrelenting. I lifted my hands, staring in shock as blood seeped from the cuts, tiny shards of glass embedded in my palms like cruel little daggers. My heart hammered in my chest, the chaos of the club fading into a distant roar. What the hell just happened?Before I could even process it, Eric was there. Right there, materializing out of nowhere like some kind of guardian angel on steroids. His hands gripped my shoulders, steady and strong, pulling me upright. "Fuck, Sabrina, are you okay?" His voice was rough, laced with panic that didn't match the cool, collected guy I thought I knew.I blinked up at him, my brain scrambling to catch up. The metallic tang of blood filled my nose, mixing with the sweat and spilled alcohol in the air. He turned his head sharply toward the security guys hauling the asshole away. The creep was still spitting curses, his face a bloody mess, thrashing like a wild animal. "Get that bastard out of

Sabrina’s POV I stared at him, my heart slamming against my ribs like it was trying to break free. Eric's words hung in the air between us—"I can’t stay away from you, Sabrina." His eyes were locked on mine, dark and stormy, like he was daring me to push him away. But I couldn't move. Couldn't breathe. The room felt too small, the air too thick with whatever this was. Tension. Heat. Something I didn't want to name. My lips still tingled from that kiss, the one I'd started like a total fool. His taste lingered—warm, addictive, dangerous. And now he was standing there, all raw intensity, admitting he couldn't leave me alone. Part of me wanted to scream at him to get out. Another part, the stupid part, wanted to pull him back in. But no. Hell no. I wasn't going down that road. Not with him. "I'm not quitting my job, Eric," I said, my voice steadier than I felt. I forced myself to stand taller, even though my bandaged hands throbbed like hell. "You don't get to decide that for me." H

“Where is she?”The words ripped out of me the second Diana said it. ‘Something happened to your sister.’My body was already moving before my brain caught up. I was halfway down the hall when she grabbed my arm, her fingers digging into my sleeve.“Eric, wait…your parents…”I shook her off without looking back.I didn’t want to hear about my parents. I didn’t want explanations. I didn’t want excuses.I wanted my sister.Tina’s door was at the end of the hall, half closed. Light spilled out from underneath the door, harsh and white. My heart slammed against my ribs with every step I took. The closer I got, the heavier the air felt, like the house itself was holding its breath.I reached the door.Pushed it open.And froze.My parents stood over the bed.Hovered was the right word. Like vultures. Like judges.Tina lay motionless on the mattress, her skin pale against the dark sheets, dark hair spread around her head like a halo. An oxygen mask covered her nose and mouth, the soft hiss
