Jade was sprawled across the bed, deep in sleep. He walked in, coffee in hand, and couldn’t help but smile. Brushing a kiss on her forehead, she stirred and turned to him.“Luca, I’ve got an exam today. It’s a big deal,” she mumbled.“I know,” he said, handing her the mug. “Hence the coffee.” He leaned in and kissed her softly.“Hmm, so I have to choose between you and caffeine?” she teased.Luca chuckled, pulling her onto his lap. “You,” he murmured, kissing her neck. “Go crush your exam, and I’ll be right here when you’re done.”“Great, now my focus is completely shot,” Jade said, rolling her eyes.His hands slid under her pajama top, and she sighed, eyes fluttering shut. Luca wanted her, badly, but the clock wasn’t on their side. Reluctantly, he set her back on the bed.“Oh, come on! You can’t just start something and bail,” she protested, glaring at him as she stormed off to the bathroom.He followed her into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. His hands moved over her, war

Luca watched her glow. “I passed,” she said, leaping into his arms.“I’m so proud of you,” Luca replied. “But we got to move, the jet’s waiting.”“Wait, what? Where are we going?”“Wyoming. United States.”“Wyoming? What’s in Wyoming?” Jade asked, confused.“Jackson called me out. I accepted. So now we fight.”“Seriously? Can’t we just skip this whole thing?”“Not a chance. Backing out would make me look weak.”“Weak? You?” Jade snorted.Luca pulled her in and kissed her hard. Jade melted against him, her mind spinning. She was still trying to piece together this chaotic new world she’d been dragged into.San Regis, Paris, FranceDahlia’s body sprawled across Gahn’s, his arm draped lazily over her.The phone buzzed incessantly. She groaned and climbed over him to grab it.“Hello?” she mumbled, still half-asleep.“Mom, we found her. She’s in Italy. Right now.”“What?” Dahlia’s voice broke, her hand trembling. Gahn took the phone from her.“Dad, we found Jade, well, her location and the

Jackson eased her down onto the blanket, his weight pressing against her. He slid the straps of her dress down, exposing her breast, before warming it with his mouth. His hand found its way between her thighs.The delicate fabric tore as he ripped them, then entered her, drawing a gasp from her lips. He moved with slowness at first, savoring her. She clutched at his back, her nails leaving crescent moons in his skin. As her sounds of pleasure intensified, he quickened his rhythm until waves of sensation washed over her, her body quivering beneath him. His own release followed, his breath warm against her mouth before he kissed her, then traced her shoulder with his lips.Their eyes met. "Did I hurt you?" he asked."A little," she admitted. "You're... "He chuckled, still inside her. She began to move again, and he rolled them over, placing her above him. Jade had the control. His mouth found her breast, making her arch her back. She took him in slowly, the slow pace driving them both

Bram stirred awake to the warmth of kisses peppering his face, the room still cloaked in darkness.“Dahlia,” he murmured, his voice husky with sleep. “You’re here…” His arms wrapped around her, pulling her in as he kissed her softly.“Sleep,” he whispered. “You’re wiped out.”“Just hold me,” she said, her voice quiet but insistent.“I’ve got you,” he chuckled, his fingers smoothing through her hair until her breathing steadied and she drifted off.Morning came with a burst of noise and laughter.Dahlia reached out, expecting Bram, but her hand found empty space. She blinked her eyes open.Home. Of course.She showered, dressed, and just as Bram walked in, she threw herself into his arms. “I missed you,” she said, clinging to him.“Hey,” he said, holding her back. “Look at me. Take your time. I need you to be sure. And Jade—she’s stunning, by the way.”“Yeah, and a mess,” Dahlia replied with a shrug. “But she’s in med school.”“No way,” Bram said, shaking his head. “Not mine, sorry. To

Hunter and Lupin exchanged glances as Dahlia laid it all out.“We’ve known forever, this isn’t exactly breaking news,” Lupin said, shrugging. “Glad you’re finally catching up.”“Yeah, a little late to the party, huh?” Dahlia smirked.“What, you’re barely pushing 35,” Lupin shot back.“Thirty-eight, actually. And you two are…”“Whoa, no need to roast the old guys,” Hunter cut in, laughing.“Bram must be thrilled, he finally got to claim you,” Lupin said, his tone tinged with something Dahlia couldn’t quite place.“How’s Emily?” Dahlia asked, steering the conversation elsewhere.“She’s good. Our kid’s coming home, so she’s over the moon,” Lupin replied.“And Hunter? Sarah?”“After that scare, we lost our pup, but hey, two kids is still a win, right?” Hunter said, trying to keep it light.“Of course. Come on, you’ve got a great life. And we’ve still got some fight left in us, yeah?” Lupin added.“We still love you,” Hunter blurted out, his voice cracking slightly.“Hunter, don’t let Bram
