Chapter 61

Dawn’s point of viewI don’t know what has gotten into me. I couldn’t sleep the entire night, tossing and turning as my mind replayed everything from the parking lot and especially the text message Killian sent me after I ran up to my room.When I finally woke up on Monday morning, I was already horribly late for my first class.I had barely slept a wink, my face burning in the dark as I lay awake imagining the stinging heat of Killian spanking me and losing myself to the thought, playing with myself under the sheets until I was breathless.I wanted to feel him inside me so badly it was an ache, but I could never, ever bring myself to admit that to him.When I finally dragged myself out of bed, LJ couldn’t even look me in the eye. By the time I came out of the bathroom after getting dressed, she was already gone, leaving a note on the desk saying she was heading to class early and that I’d find her there.My chest twisted into a painful knot. She was my best friend, and she had no rea

Chapter 63

Lauriel’s point of view“Do you think I deserve it? I mean… I kept flirting with him,” I ask Dawn, my voice cracking as I stare blankly at the red asphalt of the running tracks. She had tracked me down all the way out here, refusing to let me be alone after the humiliation in the lecture hall.“Of course not. She’s just a bitch,” Dawn says flatly, and despite the shame and sadness I’m feeling, a startled laugh slips past my lips at the harsh words she just used.I blink back the tears threatening to blur my vision, looking at her with guilt. “I’m so sorry she involved you in that. Sorry, she brought up Killian.”She settles onto the bleachers right beside me, wrapping a supportive arm around my shoulders. “Oh, I don’t mind, actually. It was starting to get a little boring with everyone on campus being scared of me after the video leak.”She laughs as if it’s funny. I know exactly what she’s doing—she’s desperately trying to lighten the mood so I don’t shatter into a million pieces. Bu

Chapter 64

Dawn’s point of view“I got you this,” Killian says softly, holding out the bouquet of fresh flowers and a paper bag that overflows with all my favorite goodies.My lips part to say something, but the words get stuck in my throat. I just stand there on the steps, staring at the volume of treats he gathered for me. The comfort foods I always crave when the entire world feels like it’s crashing down around my ears.“They are really nice,” I whisper, looking up at him through my lashes. “Thank you, Killian.”He gives me that slow, boyish grin that I’ve secretly fallen in love with, his dark eyes softening as I pull the heavy bundle of flowers tightly against my chest.He clears his throat, glancing toward the glass doors of the dorm. “What’s going on with LJ? She looked wrecked, running out of class.”“Just… some personal stuff,” I say softly, keeping her secrets safe. “She’s having a really hard time right now.”He nods without pushing. “Are you coming to the away game this weekend? It’

Chapter 65

Elaine’s point of viewI hate her. I hate her so much.I stare at Dawn’s pretty face, and my blood literally boils beneath my skin. She has no idea what she’s destroyed, what she’s taken from me. She just walked in here with her innocent act and stole what was supposed to be mine.“Ellie,” Dawn says, her face going straight, her posture locking up as I step into her path.Beside her, that bitch of a friend, LJ, immediately steps forward to shield her. “For someone who’s a stripper, you sure have the fucking guts to try and—”“Don’t you fucking dare,” Dawn cuts her off, her voice dropping into a sharp, icy growl as she places a hand on Lauriel’s arm. Her eyes burn into mine. “You have something against me, Ellie? Fine. But do not go near my friend.”I let out a harsh, mocking laugh, taking a slow step toward them. “Oh, it’s actually so cute that you think you have a bite, stinky cunt.”The insult is barely out of my mouth before LJ loses her mind. She launches herself straight at me, h

Chapter 66

Dawn’s Point of ViewI thought I loved watching Damian skate. I was wrong. Watching Killian move at lightning speed is the most fascinating thing.He cuts across the ice as if the rest of the game has slowed down just for him, blades carving sharp, clean lines through the crowd of defenders. He fakes left, the defenseman bites, and Killian’s already gone. The puck is glued to his stick like it’s an extension of his own hand. The goalie shifts to cover the angle, but Killian doesn’t even look like he’s rushing. One flick of his wrists and the puck is a blur.It goes through the goalie’s five-hole and into the net before anyone can react. For half a second there’s this pocket of silence, like the building is catching its breath, and then it erupts. The boards rattle from how hard the crowd slams into them.For a minute I forget my job and cheer.Killian and the boys pile on him at center ice, gloves smacking his helmet, but almost immediately he peels off from the pack. He turns, scanni

Chapter 67

Dawn’s Point of ViewThe bar is packed when we arrive, music thumping through the walls, bodies everywhere, the kind of post-game energy that has been building since the final buzzer and has no intention of slowing down anytime soon.Under my hoodie I had pulled on Killian’s jersey, but it is warmer outside the rink than I expected, so I took it off in the car, and now I am wearing it properly, his number across my back, his name above it, and I am trying very hard not to think too much about what that means.When we step through the entrance, our eyes roam around the crowded space. The atmosphere is loud and pulsating with heavy music. I can’t spot the guys anywhere. I pull out my phone to text him, but before I can type a word, Killian’s deep voice comes from right behind me.“Little Fox?”I whirl around. He is standing there, looking genuinely surprised, eyes moving over me as if he is making sure I am real.“You came,” he whispers, his voice carrying over the roaring bass of the s

Chapter 68

Dawn’s point of viewThe kiss isn’t like what I had imagined for eight years. It doesn’t burn. It doesn’t feel anything like when Kill kisses me.There’s no heat, no butterfly flutters in my stomach, or feeling like the hairs on the back of my neck are rising. There are none of the things I used to lie awake wondering about when I was fourteen and convinced Damian was the only version of love I’d ever get. It just feels like lips, stiff lips that make me feel nauseated.There’s nothing. It’s as if I finally opened a door and found it empty on the other side.I’m still stuck in that moment, still trying to make sense of the mismatch between what I always thought I wanted and what’s happening, when he’s pulled off me so fast the world tilts sideways for a second.Killian punches his brother so hard I stumble back from the force of it, my hand flying up to cover my mouth. The sound of it, knuckle on bone, is the kind of thing I know I’ll hear again later.“Stay the fuck away from her,” K

Chapter 69

Dawn's Point of View“You are mine, Dawn.” His voice is rough against my mouth, his hand coming up to cradle my jaw as if he’s afraid I’ll disappear if he lets go. “There’s no being done between us.”“Then I need you to start trusting me,” I whisper back, my lips brushing against his, and I swear I can feel shivers down my spine.“I’m sorry. I just hate—” he doesn’t finish the sentence when I crush my lips against his.When he briefly pulls away, his eyes burn with a hunger that sends a pooling in my stomach down to my core.“Tell me to stop, Dawn, because what I want right now…” He closes his eyes, swallowing hard as if it hurts.“Please,” he pleads, opening his eyes as he looks at me; his eyes have darkened with desire, and his lips tremble.“I want you too,” I whisper back to him.It’s like I have just unleashed something because Killian crushes his lips against me, pressing me into the car, his hand going up to my thigh, lifting me off the ground as he wraps it around his waist.K

Chapter 70

Dawn's Point Of ViewI splash water on my face in his bathroom, hands shaking too much to be useful, and when I come back out he’s already laid a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants on the bed for me, his own clothes; they are too big, and they smell like him.He doesn’t ask questions. He just moves fast and quietly beside me, matching my urgency, and somehow that steadiness is the only thing keeping me from falling apart before I even know what’s wrong with my mom. I might have an idea, and it scares me.“Let’s go.” He leads me out of the house without asking me questions.He holds the door for me as I get in, and I quickly rush in, biting my nails out of habit. My knee won’t stop bouncing.He reaches over the console and places his hand on my thigh.“Talk to me, baby,” he says, glancing at me, but I look away. I don’t know what to expect.I haven’t heard her have a breakdown in months. She hasn’t called to tell me what a shitty person my dad is, or called me names.“Can we not?” I ask

Chapter 71

Dawn’s Point of ViewOnce we get her into bed, I head down to the kitchen to clean up the rest of the mess and check whether she has any actual food in the house, but Killian catches me before I can start opening cabinets. He notices exactly what I’m doing: burying myself in tasks so I don’t have to feel anything.“Dawn,” he whispers.“I need to find something for her to eat,” I say to him, trying to keep myself busy, but he grabs my wrists. Then his other hand cups my chin so I can face him.Tears burn my eyes because I can’t look at him. I can’t let him see how much this hurts.Watching your mother lose a part of herself because she chose to love wholeheartedly.“Look at me, baby,” he whispers. The last word makes my heart race even more.“Please,” he pleads.I turn to face him, and tears stream down my cheeks. When I see him looking at me with that warmth in his eyes, I end up breaking down right there at the kitchen table, the dish towel still in my hand, tears coming so fast I ca
