CassyThe first thing I felt was heat. Not the sharp kind that burned, but the deep, lingering kind that soaked into my bones and made my skin tingle. Karius’s arm was heavy across my waist, his massive body curled around mine under the thick cabin blankets. His chest pressed against my back, rising and falling in slow, steady breaths. Even in sleep he held me like he was afraid I’d disappear.I shifted a little and the residual warmth of his touch flared hotter. My collarbone still ached with the faint imprint of his teeth from last night. My thighs felt sore in the best way. Every time I breathed I caught the scent of him—clean soap, leather, and that dark, woodsy smell that was pure Karius.His hand tightened on my hip. “Stay,” he murmured against the back of my neck, voice rough from sleep. “Don’t move yet.”“I have to,” I whispered. “We need to get back.”He made a low sound that vibrated through my spine, then pressed a slow kiss to the mark he’d left on my shoulder. His lips li

CassyThe university library was the only place left that still felt quiet enough to think. I pushed through the heavy glass doors with my laptop bag tight against my side and headed straight for the back stacks on the third floor. The fluorescent lights hummed above the tall metal shelves packed with old journals and thick binders no one had touched in years. Perfect. No cameras. No students staring. No one whispering “traitor” when I walked past.I found an empty aisle near the end of the sports science section and slid down onto the thin carpet between the shelves. My back pressed against one cold metal rack. The other rack rose less than three feet in front of me. Narrow. Private. Safe enough to open the laptop and start tracing the leak without anyone looking over my shoulder.My fingers moved fast across the keyboard. Cached headers. Temporary IP fragments. Anything the freeze hadn’t wiped yet. The forged emails still sat in my head like poison. Fifty thousand dollars. Power-pla

CassyThe boardroom smelled like expensive coffee and polished wood, the kind of place that made my skin crawl even before I sat down. Floor-to-ceiling windows looked out over the campus quad, but all I could feel was the heavy silence and the three solid bodies flanking me. Elijah on my right, Chase on my left, Karius slightly behind my chair like a wall that refused to move. Their lawyers sat two seats down, quiet and sharp in dark suits, folders already open. Across the long table Portia perched beside her father, eyes already glassy, lower lip trembling just enough to look fragile.I kept my hands flat on the table so no one would see them shake. Underneath, Elijah’s fingers brushed my knee once, slow and deliberate. Chase’s thigh pressed against mine. Karius’s boot nudged the back of my chair, a silent I’m here. My heart still raced from the walk in, but I forced my voice steady.“Thank you for seeing us on short notice,” I said. Simple words. No drama yet.Portia’s father cleare

CassyI stood in the middle of the penthouse living room, arms crossed tight over my chest, and stared at the three of them. The city lights glowed through the floor-to-ceiling windows behind me, but all I could feel was the heat rolling off their bodies and the tension thick enough to choke on.“Sit down,” I said. My voice came out sharper than I meant it to. “All of you. Now.”Elijah didn’t move at first. He stayed by the couch, ice-blue eyes locked on mine, jaw already clenched. Chase dropped onto the arm of the leather sofa like he was trying to look casual, but his amber-brown eyes never left my face. Karius leaned against the wall near the hallway, massive arms folded, forest-green gaze unreadable.I pointed at the open space in front of me. “I said sit. This isn’t optional.”Chase huffed a short laugh that didn’t reach his eyes. “You calling a team meeting in our own living room, Cassy? That’s new.”“It’s not a team meeting,” I shot back. “It’s a ‘you three almost killed each o

CassyThe morning air outside the athletic facility was crisp and cool, but the heavy heat surrounding my body had nothing to do with the weather.Elijah stood right behind me, his 6’3” frame acting like an impenetrable wall. His large, warm hand rested firmly on my hip, his thumb pressing through the soft fabric of my fitted blouse, constantly reminding me that I belonged to him. To my left, Karius stood like a massive fortress, his broad chest practically brushing my shoulder. His deep green eyes swept over the crowded courtyard with a lethal, quiet intensity. Chase hovered on my right, his golden skin glowing in the morning sun, his amber eyes dancing with a wicked, dangerous anticipation as his hand casually wrapped around my waist, tugging me closer against his side."You okay, baby?" Chase murmured down into my ear, his breath hot against my neck. "You’re breathing pretty fast.""I’m fine," I whispered, leaning back slightly into Elijah’s solid, muscular chest. "Just... nervous.
