I narrow my gaze. "You know what she did to me.”
"So, she made a mistake. She was a stupid kid. Didn’t you make mistakes when you were younger? Haven’t you tried to set things right after the fact?"
I glower at him. Asshole has a point. I tried to have as little to do with my family as possible, and that included my sister. My twin. I wasn’t there for Zara when she needed me most.
First, I focused on getting a sports scholarship to the private school with the best sports program in the UK. After I was expelled, I fucked around for way too long, then I got caught up in trying to get back on track. I neglected my duty toward my family, something I’m only beginning to realize. And while I’m trying to make it up to Zara, I haven’t had the courage to speak to my parents… Yet. "Sure, I’ve made mistakes. Who hasn’t? But I didn’t set out to destroy someone’s life because of it."
"You guys were so young—"
"Youthink I should excuse what she did because she was too young to realize the consequences of her actions?” I scowl.
“Youthink she set out to destroy your life on purpose?” he retorts.
The seconds stretch; neither of us blinks. The wanker is as hard-headed as me, and he’s become one of my closest pals. Other than Knight, he’s the only other person who can see through my bluster... And I’m not sure if I like that. I curl my fingers into fists at my side.
"So, I should forgive her, just like that?"
He blows out a breath, “All I’m saying is, he who seeks vengeance should dig two graves."
"It’s not—"
"Don’t even bother to deny it. I don’t know the details of it, but clearly, whatever you have planned is aimed to cause her maximum discomfort. And perhaps, she deserves it, too… But you’re not doing yourself any favors by keeping this revenge plan going. The only way to move on is to put an expiry date on whatever it is you’re trying to make her pay. Also, if Knight found out what you’re up to—"
"He won’t," I snap.
"Oh, so youaretrying to make her pay for what she did?"
"I never denied it. And perhaps, you’re right. Perhaps, I need an end point for it. But first—" I rise to my feet, purposely ignoring his warning about digging two graves. "I’m going to extract my revenge."

"You’re so fucking perfect, you know that?" He peers down into my eyes. His own mis-matched ones are lit from within, so it seems like they’re glowing. They make him resemble a predatory beast. A panther. A large, sleek cat with muscles that undulate under his skin, under the weight of my palms pushed into his back as he planks over me.
The slippery crown of his cock teases my opening. It’s big and blunt, and a knot of heat forms in my belly. He pushes his thighs between mine, forcing me to open further. His breath raises the hair on my forehead. The heat from his big body pushes down on me, pins me in place.
Sweat beads my forehead as I try not to writhe. His jaw tightens, and a pulse throbs at his temple. His biceps flex from holding up the weight of his entire body as he maintains his position. Right there—at the center of my core, at the pinnacle of where he could thrust inside me and impale me with one smooth move and put me out of this yearning that curls in on itself and grows and grows until it fills my cells, my blood, and weighs me down until I sink into the bed, held immobile by the lust in his gorgeous gaze.
"Cade, please," I groan.
His lips curl. "What do you want, baby?"
"You know what."
His grin widens. "Say it. I want you to tell me what you want from me."
"And if I don’t?"
He begins to pull back, and I scissor my legs about his waist. "Don’t you dare, you twatarse."
He laughs. Asshole laughs at me.
"Shut up and fuck me, you bastard."
His gray-blue eyes grow dark. "I’m not, but I might as well be, considering my parents almost disowned me. And it’s because of whatyoudid."
I draw in a sharp breath. It feels like a truck crashed into my chest. Pressure builds behind my eyes. He’s right, I’m responsible for turning his life upside down. I’m the one who caused him to almost destroy himself. I’m the one...who should pay. I blink away my tears, then tip up my chin and meet his gaze.
