“The only clothes you’re going to need is a slutty little lab coat.”

“If only.”

“You can defile mine.”

“Maybe if you’re a good boy.”

“You know, I think I like this side of you. Let’s embrace it. At least until I get tired of it.”

The valet brings the car, and Tomas starts to make his way to the driver’s side door.

“Get in your assigned seat, sir.”

“Okay, I don’t like this anymore.”

Her breathy laugh is music to my ears.

“I have a confession.” She catches me off guard. The tips of her ears are turning scarlet.

“I’m listening,” I say softly. I’m just as fearful as the look in Brayden’s eyes was the night with Nathan.

“When I tackled you in the courtyard over my book, it wasn’t because I was embarrassed. Well, it was, but not for the reason you think. I wrote you a letter. I’ll let you read it sometime, but the gist of it was that I fucked up. I told myself you were just the fuck toy Julian made me feel like I was, and then we slept together. Even full of lust, I couldn’t separate it from the promise or collision course of something more. It scared me. I’m sorry I wasn’t upfront with you about it.” I watch her glossy eyes as she drives.

“I’m glad it wasn’t just me.” I hold her hand in mine.

Five minutes later, we’re at her apartment. I look around, expecting Nathan, but he’s not here. It takes us some time to get through the halls because I’m slow and healing, but Olivia’s patient and doting. She twists the key and steps in, then immediately turns around and shuts the door, leaving us in the hallway. My hackles are instantly raised. Her eyes are wide, and before I say anything, she breaks into hysterical laughter.

“Let us know when you’re decent, you heathens.”

“Matt and Mia?”

“You got it,” she says just as the door opens.

“Always the worst timing.”

“Good to see you, too.” Olivia gives Mia a playful punch as we step into the living room.

“Ready for class, DeLuca?” Mia asks lightly.

“Nope, this little temptress got me suspended. With pay, at least.” He places his hand on the small of my back.

“Aw, I’ll miss Olivia trying not to orgasm in the middle of class.”

Olivia laughs and then becomes somber. “Mia, I made a decision. I’m dropping my classes for the semester.”

“All of them?” Olivia nods.

“And there’s more. I’m going to stay with DeLuca for a while.”

Mia looks at us both stunned. “Didn’t you two just start fucking?” Olivia winces at her words.

“That changes now. I’m unwavering, whether I’m scared or not. He’s mine and I’m his. Plus, babe, he got stabbed. He needs me. I need him.” Olivia takes my hand and squeezes it.

“Does your dad know?”

“Yeah, he thinks it’s a good idea. Us both being away from classes may give the drama time to calm down.”

“So you’re living at DeLuca’s then. It’s not going to be the same without you.” Mia hugs Olivia. I didn’t realize the pair of them were so close. “You better call every day. I want daily updates on how many times you got dicked in a day.”
