Selene’s povI closed the door behind me and leaned against the wall. Janet went around folding the clothes she had brought for us to wear to the party. I felt really bad for turning her down in front of Kade. “I'm sorry,” I muttered, but she said nothing, going around to pack her things into her little pink suitcase. “Janet, come on.”“No, it's fine,” she stood up to give me a fake smile. “Go ahead with your boyfriend, Kade. I don't care.”“Come on, Janet.”A scoff escaped her throat. “Kade shows up, invites you for a party which, mind you, I have been inviting you to for the past one week, and you've been saying no. Today I decide to drag you there whether you like it or not, you ditch me for Kade. How do you think that makes me feel?” “I'm sorry.”“No, you're not!” She screamed. “Because you do this. I support you all the time. I fight tooth and nail with other people to make sure that you feel safe. And you don't even do the same thing to me.”“You're my best friend,” I chuckle

Selene’s povI felt ridiculous when I saw how he looked at me.Why did I think saying that to him would work? How dumb was I? I was clearly not his type.Fuck, I felt like an idiot. What the bloody hell did I just do?If my worth wasn’t already on the ground before, now, it was beneath it.“Hey,” he murmured, his voice low and rough with something unspoken.I swallowed hard, my throat bobbing. "I—I shouldn’t have said that. I’m sorry.”Kade reached for my hand, his fingers warm against my cold skin. "You don’t have to say anything."I exhaled shakily, my breath curling into the cold night air. "I just… I feel like I’m not enough for you. I know I shouldn’t feel anything seeing as this is fake and all."His grip tightened. "That’s ridiculous."But I shook my head, my dark curls bouncing. "No, it’s not. Look at me. I’m not like those girls back there… the skinny ones with perfect everything. I’m…" I gestured vaguely at my body. "I’m this."Kade’s gaze dropped to my chest, where the gown

Selene’s povWe got into the house as he led me to the living room. I looked around, my eyes widened with how luxurious this place was. “Have a seat,” he gestured toward a couch as I sat down, crossing my legs and still feeling awkward. “I need to take a shower. Is there any…”Before I could complete it, he nodded. “Follow me.” Then got to his feet, walking up the stairs as I followed him from behind. His back muscles moved in a hypnotic way while I stared at it, almost tumbling down the stairs. He turned to see me on my knees. “Are you okay?” “Yeah,” I chuckled, “still feeling weak-kneed after what we did back there.” He smiled. “I can carry you if you want.” “No,” I shook my head. “I can still walk.”But he didn’t believe me. He waved me away. “Don't worry, I'll carry you.”“No, no, I don't want you to…”I didn't finish that before he swooped me off my feet, holding me very close to his chest. “See?” He smiled down at me, his eyes drinking in the sight of me. “That wasn’t s

Kade’s POVI pulled into the school parking lot but didn’t get out right away. I just sat there for a minute, my hands still on the wheel, replaying the night before in my head.From the forest all the way to the cabin, it had been nonstop pleasure.I had slept with a lot of girls but something about Selene brought back pleasurable memories that I didn’t want to let go of.A smile crept onto my face before I could stop it. Then, just as fast, it disappeared.Ethan.My best friend. Selene’s brother. The one guy who had made me promise, flat out, before he left for the tournament training and registration, that his sister was off-limits. No exceptions, no grey areas. And I’d gone and done exactly what he told me not to do.I dragged a hand down my face. “Idiot,” I muttered to myself.I told myself I’d deal with it. I’d talk to Selene, make sure we were on the same page about keeping this from Ethan for now. That was the plan. Simple enough.I got out of the car, slung my bag over one sh

Kade’s POVI got home with a smile on my face.Asking Selene out was my plan. Not something my father had made for me like I was a pawn in his game.I jogged up the stairs two at a time, already thinking about the guys waiting for me at the hockey field, and started digging through my closet for something to wear. Just a casual thing, some pickup shooting, maybe grab food after.I had barely pulled a shirt over my head when a knock came at my door.“Yeah?” I opened the door.One of the house maids stood there, hands folded in front of her, eyes lowered the way staff always did around me… like I was something to be careful with instead of just a guy trying to find matching socks.“Your father wants to see you.”Of course he did.“Okay. Tell him I’m coming.”She nodded and disappeared down the hall. I finished getting dressed slower than I needed to, already bracing myself, because when my father “wanted to see me,” it was never good news. It was never hey, how was your day, son. It w
