“Uh…” Reaching up, I rub my hand over the back of my neck.
“I strongly suggest you quit fucking lying to me, Styx. I think I’m owed a little fucking honesty, don’t you?”
“Yeah,” I concede on a sigh. “Come and sit down.”
“Did I spot a bottle of vodka in your freezer?” Ryder asks, swinging his legs off the couch.
“Yeah.”
“And three glasses,” D adds.
“You’ll be fucking lucky,” Ryder quips. “It’s the bottle or nothing right now.”
The tension is almost unbearable as D lowers himself to the chair and makes a show of pulling his piece from his waistband and placing it on the coffee table so it’s facing me.
“Time to start talking, Stygian.”
I swallow nervously, unable to believe what I’m about to confess.
“I’m in love with her, D.”

KAT
“Go away,” I yell at whoever is outside my door.
“Kat, it’s me,” River says softly.
Ugh.
Just what I don’t need.
My best friend—my brother’s girlfriend—come to try and make things better.
I love River, I do. But right now, all I want is to be angry at the world. At Styx and Ryder and their scheming games. At myself for letting me fall for their lies so easily.
“I’m coming in.”
The door cracks open and she slips inside. “Oh, Kat.”
“I’m not very good company right now.”
“You think I care about that. I was so worried about you.” She perches on the edge of my bed and gives me a sympathetic smile.
“I guess he told you.”
Styx texted me earlier to tell me that Diesel confronted him.
He knows.
My brother knows about Styx, and I know it’s only time until he shows up and gives me a piece of his mind.
“He didn’t exactly tell me. I overheard him talking to the guys.”
“Great, so I guess everyone will know what an idiot I am.”
“Is that what you think? That you’re an idiot? Kat, you know that isn’t—”
