Lottie POV For hours now, the celebration had been in full swing; Knox, Kane and I had finished off the bottle of tequila, and as they carried on with bottle two, Lilly and I had taken to the dancefloor. "I love you!" I screamed over the music to Lilly, who spun me around and back into her, tell
Kane POV "Can we get more tequila for the room?" Charlotte asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement. How was a guy meant to deny those blue sapphire eyes when they shone like that? "We can get whatever you want, angel!" Knox smirked, bending down to grip her legs and throw her over his shoulder,
Knox POV Dancing always seemed to kindle a romantic fire in women. Most of the ladies that I had seen dancing in the clubs were always smiling and flirting with their partners, so I wasn't surprised to see Lottie's more daring side when she agreed to return with Kane and I. But I promised my girl t
"What the fuck?!" I laughed, picking it up as I turned to look at her. "You locked the door!" She snarled, making me grin as I grabbed the tequila and started to pour two shots. "I did!" I answered with a laugh. "Why?" She demanded. I could hear the bed moving and turned to look at her over my
Lottie POV I don't know where this newfound confidence has come from; I had never been this bold with Mike. But then, expect if I had, he would have knocked my teeth out. Moody shit! Although truthfully, I never felt I could voice what I needed from him sexually without him sulking like a damn chil
"Stop teasing me!" I groaned, lifting my hips to his face hungrily. His tongue on my sweet spot, even for just a few seconds, made me writhe on the bed from the intense pleasure. "Knox, please!" I begged, my head tossing from side to side on his bed. A dark chuckle escaped his lips seconds before
Kane POV I stepped into the smug prick who stood before me, his hands placed behind his back as he stood beside my father and Charlotte's—smiling at me like a Cheshire cat. Fuck I wanted to knock his teeth back down his throat. We were getting nowhere, just going round in circles! "Don't say I did
Lottie POV I don't know if it was a few minutes or half an hour. Still, Knox kept working on my pussy with that tongue of his that had me travelling to the highest peak only to push me off into a pool of liquid heat that consumed me entirely, leaving me an incoherent blubbering mess. Never had I fe
Chase POVI lay awake with Lottie nestled snug between Knox and me, the soft glow of the television casting gentle shadows across her sleeping features. The hush of the late hour made every shift of her body and every rise and fall of her chest seem amplified in my head. I tried to focus on the quie
Kane POVI moved quietly down the hallway, my breath still shallow from the events of the night before. Every step echoed in my ears as though the house itself remembered the blood spilled and the betrayals exposed. Adam and Liam were already waiting for me near the top of the stairs, neither lookin
"She has to face Leigh’s and Sebastian's betrayals on her own terms," I reasoned. "No one can do that for her." But it killed me to watch. There was no tidy solution—only the knowledge that, soon, they would be gone from her life forever, and she’d have to live with the aftermath. She dreaded it alm
Kane’s POVMy father and Sebastian both needed to be dealt with—or so the plan went. Feign ignorance, pretend Astaroth had wiped our memories, then strike when the time was right. After that, they’d face death. Everyone agreed it was the only way to end their treachery. The logic was sound, but each
Lottie POVA heavy silence settled. Then Knox spoke again, quieter now.“You’re… you’re not leaving us, are you?” I felt his heartbreak like a physical ache, and it nearly undid my resolve.“Never,” I whispered firmly. “But you must understand I’m used to being my own person. I cherish your input, t
"So… what do we do? We let her rest? Let her walk away?" My thoughts spun in circles. "Look how closed-off she is. She’d rather talk to Sage than us.""We’re losing her if we don’t try…" Rolo stirred inside me, echoing Knox’s frustration.But I had no answer. Knox, sensing my uncertainty, responded
Kane’s POVAdam cleared his throat. “So we’ll act like last night never happened. Put on a show of playing dumb about what happened in his private rooms, that we don’t even recall the confrontation. Char and the rest of us will offer to leave, so it appears we harbor no suspicions or grudges.”“Exac
Lottie's POVI felt my mates' gazes flick toward me more than once, their silent assessments sending a faint heat through my chest. They wanted to press closer, to slip into my mind and share my burden, but I kept my mental walls firmly in place. I feared if I let them in, they'd sense my lingering
