“Let's take a shower and go have some fucking fun.”

I'm in my black bikini after taking a shower and fixing myself because Chaos insists, we should chill by the lake since it's a beautiful day. As we move down the corridor, he abruptly stops, causing me to knock against his hard body, but he quickly takes one of my wrists and swings me onto his back.

He piggybacks me down the stairs and while holding onto him, I giggle the entire time. It's strange with Chaos; he clearly knows how to get me to laugh, and that's a rare gift to have. Despite his maturity and dominance, he certainly lives up to his name; he is Chaos. His entire persona is chaotic.

As he carries me through the kitchen, I glance around and realize no one is in here, so I lean in and speak quietly into his ear.

“Hey, what's your real name?”

He smirks with a joint between his lips and side-eyes me, his voice muffled.

“That's a fucking secret.”

I pout before continuing to pressure him.

“Don't make me google you, Chaos.”

He smiles and shakes his head.

“You won't fucking find it. When I started rapping, I legally changed my name to Chaos and that was when I was a kid.”

“Hmmm... Interesting. You are definitely secretive.”

The warm air engulfs me as we leave the Lakehouse, and I can instantly hear voices and splashing coming from by the lake. Chaos comes to a halt and descends slightly, allowing me to slide off his back and land on my feet. He turns around and faces me, lighting the end of his joint and locking his gaze on mine.

He decides to continue our conversation after blowing out the smoke.

“Secrecy is the best form of fucking privacy, and I need some of that in my life.”

I give a small nod of understanding, then glance over at the lake at everyone before returning my eyes to his. His dark stare drifts down me, and I believe he said that as a suggestion that he doesn't want whatever we are in the public eye, which any normal girl would take offense to, but not me because I can't bear publicity, so I'll gladly be his little secret if that's what he wants.

I close the small space between us until my breasts touch his middle, raising my arms and wrapping them around the back of his neck while I tiptoe. I pull him down toward my lips before I speak.

“I’m not here for your fame, Chaos; you don’t have to worry about that.”

He raises an eyebrow.

“So, what the fuck are you here for?”

I smile shyly against his lips, giving him a hint that I’m here for his dick, and he sneers back before suddenly grabbing my ass firmly, digging his fingers into my flesh, causing a squeak to escape me and he bites down on his words as a sign of playful frustration.

“I did tell you I was a bad fucking influence. The worst is yet to come, Lil Chaos. I’m about to drag that little slut and confidenceright the fuck out of you. I want to see how far I can push you and how far you’re willing to allow me to go.”

I bite my bottom lip before I respond.

“I believe you might have already achieved that.”

Just as we’re about to open our mouths to collide in a kiss, I notice Reign from the corner of my eye exiting the Lakehouse. I pause and lower my head before flattening my feet on the ground. With one hand on Chaos’ strong pec, I use my other to shyly tuck my hair behind my ear, attempting to avoid eye contact with either of them.

I knew I would have to face him at some point today; I just hope this doesn’t become awkward around the three of us. Although it feels weird for me right now, I very much doubt Reign gives a shit just as much as Chaos doesn’t.

I raise my eyes as he passes Chaos, and they fist pump before he offers me a courteous acknowledgement motion with his chin raised. As I glance away, my cheeks flush, but when I return my focus to Chaos, he is already staring down at me with his brow lifted and his joint between his lips.

“What?”

He ignores me by wrapping his arm lazily around my shoulders before we stroll toward everyone on the pier of the lake.

Some of the group, such as Lucy and Cody, are already in the water, while others sit on deck chairs on the short pier. As we get closer, Chaos takes his arm away from my shoulder and dashes down the wooden structure before bombing into the water, prompting Lucy to scream as a wave crashes over her.
